Point being? It's a soundtrack. Vangelis never had an album called Oxymore. That's just asking for it.

Klaus Schultz is by far the most the most important and influential, culturally. I think without him, the wider electronic music genre wouldn't have developed and expanded into such diverse ways.
Vangelis is the most prolific and certainly in an absolute league of his own. JM Jarre's earlier works are fantastic and very highly respected in all musical genres Kitaro; i've not listened to much outside of FEFB, it didnt really resonate with me. I very much enjoy the music of all the first three.

JMJarre - Chronologie KSchultz - Moondawn Kitaro - Silk Road II Vangelis - 1492 - Conquest of Paradise (one of the great soundtracks of the last 40 years, IMO)

Thanks Paul. The only one of those I have is Body Love.
I do too. Klaus Schulze is such a big name in progressive music, but I am surprised sometimes at what people, even hardcore forum users, don't know. I am a detail oriented guy by nature, and I find it so much more interesting and better for discussion and discovery if people say something about what they know and like from such short list rather than just listing a name. I'm not implying that they should not do it that way. Just my wacky preference. As long as there is discussion people are enjoying at the forum, and the community tries to be supportive of each other when warranted, that matters most to me.

Thanks Paul. They seem like they are by far the most well known. By the way, as a sidenote, I don't consider Brian Eno to part of this genre. I would say he's more like ambient.

I've listened to every album by every artist in this poll, so from my point of view, these are the best four electronic artists you could have chosen.

Hmmmm, maybe I should have added an "I don't know all of these artists" option since I get the feeling that many who voted don't know K.S. or even Kitaro.

Even
if one far prefer one to the others (I love albums by all), it might be
neat if people would list their favourite albums from each artist. I went with Schulze, but I love music from all of these. And I know some who might, say love Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack but dislike or are unfamiliar with some of his earlier work. This can help to gauge overall familiarity as well what specific works appeal generally and from one's favourite (if one has one). Whatever out specific tastes, one things I guess many of us have in common here is that we are music nerds/geeks (and more power to us). ;) With Jarre I adore both Oxygene and Equinoxe. Kitaro I was especially huge on a teenager and in my early to mid 20s. Ten Kai and Oasis are fantasitic, but I also love all of the Silk Road ones. Kitaro is one of the very few instrumental music acts I introduced my wife to that she also loved. Maybe that we met in Japan plays some part in that. With Klaus Schulze, whom I voted for, all of 70s albums are very meaningful to me. Mirage is a particular special one to me. Timewind, Moondawn, and Cyborg are some others that have meant a lot to me. Vangelis is another that I was very into as a child (80s) and young man-child (90s) and I continue to love. I started off liking his 80s soundtrack music (The Bounty especially) and tend to gravitate the most to his 70s period now.. I adore The Dragon (even if "unofficial") and really like Hypothesis. I adore Earth. And L'apolcalypse des animaux, Albedo 0.39 and Spiral are some other favourites. |

Gandalf is awesome. My list: 1. Vangelis (started strong, ended strong, a bona fide icon) – – 2. Kitaro / Schulze (tie, as both did their very best work in the '70s & early '80s) – – – 3. Jarre (arguably the most overrated EM artist of them all) |

Hi,
Sad that Klaus Schulze is not listened to or appreciated as much as all the others. In terms of experimentation and talent, his guts to play live, and not repeat himself is important and his changes and development, specially in the 1970's and then 1980's is phenomenal ... but sadly for the most part he was only available as an IMPORT in those days, and they were $20 dollars each already .... but at least the music was far out.
My enjoyment of it was even better listened to than most ... Guy Guden for at least 30 years NEVER FAILED to not play any album of his in its entirety, which was a treat that could not be replicated anywhere else AFAIK. Some of the prettiest stuff KS did was in THE WORKS series (2 of them) that came out way too soon, and were too expansive and only available exclusively to the artist's fan club for many years. All of it is released now individually, and there are some really neat things, and many of them are completely improvised with many artists ... I really miss the radio freedom that helped so much of this music ... and for the record, Guy played all of the Vangelis albums in their entirety, Jean Michel Jarre the same, and Kitaro I know he played some, specially in the early days ... I think he might have lost favor with Guy when he became a New Age darling. But his long pieces and suites are really fine. A really tough poll ... and I only selected Vangelis, because he is very visual and did films beautifully ... and will probably be remembered as a very well respected soundtrack composer. Kitaro, I need to listen to the later stuff ... haven't checked his work in at least 20 years. My KS is almost complete. My Vangelis is complete going back to AC. I think I have Kitaro's first 6 or 7 albums, of which at least 1 is a double .... have to re-check now but the LP's are all boxed ... I have to move! JMJ ... I think I have the first 4 or 5 titles.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Concur...but they're all top notch and all different. Jarre has a tiny catalog compared to the others...

Jarre, one of my favorite artists since I was a kid. Even seen him live a bunch of times. Vangelis is a good second
