Did you see what Google had set up for Bob's birthday? Check out the Google homepage if you haven't already! Excellent. Clap
I'd recommend anything by Tangerine Dream really; Rubycon and Phaedra are good places to start. Maybe some Eloy as well.

Mort Garson's "The Wozard of Iz: An Electronic Odyssey"
It was recently re-released, so it is no longer rare and expensive (for a limited time only...)

thanks for the responses.  i guess i was thinking more along the lines of long synth solos in the symphonic realm.  i just love tunes that basically space out or have a linear solo then come back to theme etc.  hence my mentioning Luna Sea by Camel.  i am going to explore the electric prog genre a little.  thanks for that recommendation.

It's on my thread for Bob. You can actually use the mouse or the keys.

Wobbler and White Willow, Lars Fredrick  Froislie exclusively uses analogue synths, and must have a dozen or more different ones. Afterglow and Terminal Twilight are the places to start respectively IMO.

If you dont mind Epic Black Metal, you could try another of Lars Fredrick Froislies bands, In Lingua Mortua. Probably more analogue synths in use there than either Wobbler or White Willow.

Pick up any of Jan Hammer's pre-Miami Vice releases.

Hi,
 
You really want to get Todd Rundgren's "Wizard and a True Star" ... the wizard side is all craziness and fun and synths running a muck! ... the other side has no synth whatsoever ... I'll have to double check that, btw!
 
A couple of other things ... Larry Fast's solo albums ... Nektar's "Recycled" with Larry Fast on the synths ... Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway ... and if you get bored ... you really want to get M. Frogg's first album for a lesson in all the fun things you can do and say with an analog synth, including some swear words when you are bored! I would also include Emerson, Lake and Palmer's first 4 albums or so.
 
For some more hardcore stuff you really want to try the early Klaus Schulze stuff, Agitation Free, and that whole family of folks, the Berlin Factory as they are called.

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

If you want some mind-bending Mini-Moog licks, speed ahead to 7:44 of this one and let Patrick Moraz work you over!!  

When I first heard this live (1976, Relayer tour, Bloomington IL) I could not believe the sounds PM was getting out of his Moog!  He "played the oscillators more expressively" than other players of that day, like Wakeman & Emerson. 

Some really good Fender Rhodes electric piano and Orchestron mixed in!  Have fun, Chuck

Though there are not a lot of extended solos (the moog work is in chunks, really) I would recommend Triumvirat's two albums Illusions On A Double Dimple and Spartacus. Jurgen Fritz is good at saying a lot in a limited amount of time, especially on Spartacus
           (whoever thought i would mention Triumvirat?LOL)

As far as things already mentioned, yeah, you can't go wrong with the early ELP, and Larry Fast on Nektar's Recycled-awesome material!

       I also wanted to mention Larry Fast  in Synergy's first album "Electronic Realisations For Rock Orchestra" which tends to get overlooked, but is really something
