Ack! How could I forget Synergy?! This is like Tomita, but without the wacky sounds, and more of a rock context than classical. Lots of Moog modular 15, Oberheim SEMs, Minimoog (i think), DIY things, and on later albums Prophet 5, Memorymoog, and digital synths. Larry Fast went on to play with Nektar on an album or two (he even played with them at their reunion concert this past Nearfest), and then went on to play with Peter Gabriel for many years. He also designed a few "noise makers" for various musicians, including Rick Wakeman. He has a great website that has lots of info on his albums and career.

Favorite albums: first 4 or 5 of them. First two ("Electronic Realizations", "Sequencer") have the highest analogue content. The album "Cords" has a guitar synth throughout that sounds pretty neat.
