Select your favourites, but keep in mind that each act must belong in the Progarchives database's Progressive Electronic category.

These would be on my list, in any order:

Tim Blake "Crystal Machine"
Klaus Schulze "Moondawn"
Tangerine Dream "Encore"
Edgar Froese "Macula Transfer"
Zanov "Green Ray"
Computerchemist "Aqual Measure"
Vietgrove "The Stellar Nursery"
Eberhard Schoener and the Secret Society ‎"Trance-Formation"
Igor Wakhévitch "Nagual - Les Ailes De La Perception"
Tonto's Expanding Head Band "It's About Time"

Nice pick!
It is, indeed. In actuality, "The Stellar Nursery" is an album that begins softly, mellowly, and almost 'symphonic' with the use of an acoustic guitar before abruptly transitioning into floating spacey music featuring the soaring electric space-rock guitar, drums, and dreamy synthesisers.

Zoltan is so far the only Progressive Electronic act that I found interesting. :P Plus, it features Andy Thompson of Planet Mellotron.

Hi,

All these listed and many more ... I can't even remember some, but many of these I can still see, feel and remember!

Vietgrove is very nice.

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

Tangerine Dream - Rubycon (& Zeit)
Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
Edgar Froese - Epsilon in Malaysian Pale (& Stuntman)
Kraftwerk - Mensch-Maschine
Fripp & Eno - Evening Star
Zoviet France & Fossil Aerosol Mining Project - Patina Pooling
Rapoon - Media Studies
Asmus Tietchens and Miki Yui - Neues Boot (or any other I have by Tietchens, ranking them is very hard)
Tim Blake - Blake's New Jerusalem
Infinity Window - Trans Fat

Out of competition (not listed under Progressive Electronics):
Battlestations - Splinters Vol. I Tremor (which in fact is absolutely Progressive Electronics, but they did Post Rock at some point, so...)

If we are sticking to the rules then no Vangelis or JM Jarre which limits my already limited choice.

Tangerine Dream - Ricochet, Force Majeure, Tangram, Exit
Edgar Froese - Epsilon In Malaysian Pale, Stuntman, Pinnacles
Eddie Jobson - Theme Of Secrets
Neuronium - Heritage
Kraftwerk - Autobahn

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

These are all amazing. Dr Faust and Around About Midnight I just think about as something else - or something so much more than Progressive Electronic. And for some reason JM Jarre is placed in Prog Related here? Which feels on the same level of stupid as having Vangelis there.

Yep the J M Jarre designation is very strange. Imagine a very fake Monthy Python style French accent - '' Monsieur Jarre, I am afraid to say that your pathetic attempt at being progressive has been deemed a 'fail' by the PA electronic music team. I declare you a charlatan!''
