Many great ones here. I can't decide just yet. But later, when I come back, seeing Oxygene in a comfortable lead and Zanov without a single vote, I'll probably give mine to the underdog.

1 Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene
1 Zanov - In Course of Time
3 Klaus Schulze - Blackdance
3 Tangerine Dream - Zeit
5 Edgar Froese - Macula Transfer
5 Kraftwerk - Ralf & Florian

I really like Vangelis - Earth as well, but of course there's nothing even remotely Progressive Electronic about it.

Those are the only ones I heard with Tomita's Firebird, Yamashta's album and maybe the Hoenig collab.

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

Yep... I do like a bit of Oxygene, but Zeit is an atmospheric monster.. it's like Vaughan Williams No.6; a symphony in 4 slow movements...

Tough, tough poll! I could vote for Froese, Synergy, Arc, or even Kitaro.

But I'm going with my favorite Ashra album, Correlations. It's a note-perfect triumph from start to finish.

Tomita's Firebird has passages that I find more engaging than any traditional arrangement of the piece.

Track 2 - The opening of The Round of the Princesses (Princesses Round Dance) is one of the most ethereal electronic interpretations of a piece of classical music I have ever heard. And the finale to the Firebird, perhaps the grandest moment in all of western music (IMO), is absolutely perfect, and must always be played as loud as possible...

Voted for Zanov. Also really like Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Jarre Stomu, Kitaro, and some others.

35 years ago my vote definitely would have gone to Kitaro's Oasis. I was obsessed with that album in 1989. First Kitaro album I really got into.

First vote for Mark Shreeve. I'm often mistaken for a house plant.

In '86 or '87, a cousin (of all people) gave me a dub of Astral Trip & Oasis (Sides A/B of a C90) that someone had given him. At the time, he didn't know which albums of Kitaro's the music was from. I'd only heard Ki, which I loved (and still do), and the music on the first two albums was quite different, and less melancholic (whereas on Ki, it's dialed to "11"). I love everything he did up through Tenku.
