Her's a suggestion : Space ART

Its a French electronic prog group 70/80 who made 3 albums

heres a review I found :

Trip in the head center :This is the second album by Space Art and, at the time of writing, the last to be released on CD. It is also their best, because more consistently good than its predecessor ‘Onyx’. All tracks have that typical Space Art ‘schwung’ to it - melodies both dramatic and tragic added to great drumming. Musically, one could argue that the ideas aren’t really worked out on the shortish tracks and that the orchestration tends to be a bit crowded, but what ideas they are and how the sound stays in your head - pure magic !
‘Eyes Shade’ has a beautiful tragic fade-out on electric guitar, and ‘Watch It’ gets its effect from an arresting trumpet-like sound. ‘Hollywood Flanger’ might be the best track, or else possibly the epic ‘Psychosomatique’, a great slow track. It closed out the original LP, but here two bonus tracks are added - the first apparently from a concert, the second showing them using some newsynthesizers.
All in all, Space Art are well worth investigating, especially for J-M Jarre fans.
