First recording of the Theremin, was too young to be influenced but its never too late...

Electronic music influences is about half my musical influence since I'm also heavily inspired by post punk, noise rock and metal.

Early influences:
Devo - Duty Now For the Future, Freedom of Choice
Kraftwerk up until Computer World.
The Residents until Mark of the Mole.
Gary Numan until I Assassin.
Music For the Masses was the first Depeche Mode record I liked.
Throbbing Gristle
Cabaret Voltaire
SPK-Auto Da Fe
[Industrial led me backwards to Musique Concrete, Raidiophonic Workshop, Stockhausen, John Cage etc.]
Yellow- You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess
David Byrne and Brian Eno- My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
Sugar Hill Gang / Tackhead - What's My Mission Now, Now What? < So dammed good and ahead of it's time. A ton of early Hip Hop Producers were really great and later I loved the early sound of Dr Dre's output.

Theremin. You'd have to put the score to The Day the Earth Stood Still in there. It's in my top 10.
I also forgot to list Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark and the Psychedelic Furs.

If we're now going to punk, new-wave, post-punk, metal and the like etc, I'll be here a while...

In the meantime, I'll just say Wire, and very specifically the 'guitar crash' from Feed Me on The Ideal Copy. Most perfect sound ever recorded. Ever.

I love these bands and some of them are pretty obscure: "clock dva...portion control...cabaret voltaire...bel canto." It was no easy trick tracking down every Portion Control record while living in the U.S.

So I figured I better check out benjamin lew who I never heard of before and .... I didn't like it. Oh well.

Tangerine Dream with the classic Froese Franke Baumann line up. Beautiful organic sounds and wonderfully evocative titles.

I go back and forth with wire, but when they're on they're amazing. The drone 'solo' in A Touching Display is one of my favorite things in any song ever.

Rather later in life (ca. 1990s) I would listen fairly often to the radio program Hearts of Space (the app today is a paid subscription). The two names I remember are Steve Roach and Patrick O'Hearn. O'Hearn easy to recall as he was Zappa's bass player '76-78 (one of two in later '78). I watched some crime flick this last summer he'd scored, synths blending with regular orch.

I should mention Pauline Oliveros as one very major influence here.
