Although I'm a huge fan of electronic music, I've always found some of the old classic synth albums from artists like Synergy, Wendy Carlos, Vangelis..etc to be quite boring--they are mostly emulation of the a real orchestra with synths or ambient soundscapes, and the composition/orchestration pretty much just follows tradtional stylings.

The kind of electronic music that excited me were the more edgy guys like Kraftwerk, Yellow, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Art of Noise..etc, where synths were used more creatively, and the compositions were also more interesting.

What about you?

For me Classical music and electronic go hand in hand.

Kraftwerk, Yellow, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Art of Noise and the early works of Jm Jarre.

I really like soundtracks that are blend of real orchestral and electronic, very dynamic.

I was brought up on pop and rock.

I had been dabbling in electronic music since 1983.
I took a break and a recent purchase of Wusikstation and ProtoPlasm has inspired me to work on future projects.

When I hear "classic" and "electronic music" in the same sentence I automatically think of Switched on Bach.

Tomita was way better than Wendy Carlos. He was creative, and he thought about what the pieces evoke and chose sounds that complemented them.

Switched-On Bach was my introduction to baroque music

My dad had a pretty nifty Synergy album though.
