Do you ever listen to stuff like Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk or any other of the godfathers of EDM?

I'm sure I've missed out a few glaringly obvious ones there

I really enjoy listening to Tangerine Dream, though it was only when I started reading interviews with DJs and album sleeves that I realised people in EDM were influenced by them. If you can get hold of it the Livemiles album is an interesting listen......

i still listen to jean michel jarre and occasionally tangerine dream, they were definatly the pioneers of trance and the synth sound

I listen to Kraftwerk and a lot of New Wave (Gary Numan, etc.).

Disco and classical had sex while watching a sci-fi movie. Their child: trance.

Gary Numan is an icon, although now his style is different he is still actively making music! From the New Wave I also like synth maestro Thomas Dolby, and who can forget Flock of Seagulls? Many names I am missing here, but a lot of good stuff. Ahhh the excess of the 80s!

A question, does anyone else here enjoy the music of , say, YMO, Wendy Carlos, Klaus Schulze, Isao Tomita, Kitaro, or Yanni to name a few? (and yes, I am serious about Yanni - esp. earlier works like Keys to Imagination.)

Afrika Bambataa

Some, like Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Juan Atkins. Damn hard to get anything from these guys in Norway though.
