Heldon for me (even though that's not my favorite Heldon album)

Radio Activity by Kraftwerk, maybe my favorite album by them..  Honorable mention to Eno.  Still getting acquainted with the K.Schulze album but he's a master at this kind of thing.

I've only heard half of them, but from those I like Throbbing Gristle best.

The Eno album I think is basically a rock album with rock instrumentation,
that is a little heavy on the keyboards/synths.  First three Synergy albums would be all winners.

Went with Heldon.  I like "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" way more than Heldon but I don't consider this Eno album to be particularly electronic...instead I think it's the most straightforward "rock" album he ever made.  Now if the Eno entry would have been "Another Green World" then he would've gotten my vote Wink

Irrlicht for me. But there is I can't say I think any of the albums here are bad.

I guess the early Eno albums are electronic in the sense that normal rock instruments are electronically "treated", like they were on the early Roxy Music records. That was Eno's trademark.

TD just a little over Schultze
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I have suggested Orbital in 2010 bet they were rejected.

Force Majeure, then Stand By

New Age of Earth is quite nice, and that KS album isn't one of my favorites.

Yes, I was going to say the same thing. Taking Tiger Mountain's a great art rock album, but not really 'progressive electronic' in the slightest.
