Franks sequencing work on the Synclavier continually humbles me.

I think my MOST influential album is PIL's Flowers Of Romance... Even though it's alot of 'electronic' sounds - could it be considered 'electronica'?

Brilliant, whatever it's labeled as!

Glad you mention this John, I have often found myself humming some of his music out of the blue and I have not listened to him in years.

Hey guys,

@ Meffy I wish I could have/use a ARP 2600!

Anyways influencial electronica? Theres alot so dont mind my list,
1953 - Robert Beyer, Werner Meyer-Eppler and Eimert.

began experimenting with electronically-generated sounds. Eimert and Meyer-Eppler taught at Darmstadt Summer School (Germany), and gave presentations in Paris as well.

Louis and Bebe Baron set up a private studio in New York, and provided soundtracks for sci-fi films like Forbidden Planet (1956) and Atlantis that used electronic sound scores.

Karlheinz Stockhausen

used Helmholtz' research as the basis of his Studie I and Studie II. He tried to build increasingly complex synthesized sounds from simple pure frequencies (sine waves).

1954 The Cologne Radio Series "Music of Our Time" (October 19) used only electronically-generated sounds by Stockhausen, Eimert, Pousseur, etc. The pieces used strict serial techniques.

Those I would consider the fathers of electronic sound, good? Not really.. LOL

As for somewhat moder guys:
AK1200
Akufen
Bassbin Twins
Blank And Jones
Claudio Coccoluto
Cricco Castelli
Dave Aude
Dave Ralph

Oh, btw, it's not true that it is not electronica at all. The 1991 album "Elpmas" was in large parts sequenced with C-Lab/Emagic Notator and an Akai S-1000.

J.M Jarre "Oxygene", "Equinoxe"
Depeche Mode "Violator"
William Orbit "Pieces In Modern Style"

Me recollection of what infected/influenced me is very vague, but I remember the beatles being a great influence in the very early days. Funk/soul and Italo-disco in the late eighties sorta introduced me to house music and after that a whole range of artists/12"'s slowly got me into the electronic bug.

Albums I think are of great influence to me:
K&D sessions
Blue lines - Massive attack
PF - Ummagumma
