So, what do you consider advanced, colourful and musical use of synths?

Personally, (and I'm going to assume that I come from a younger generation than yourself) I find that some forms of techno use synthesizers very well. However, I wouldn't just limit the good use of synthsto techno, I've heard synths used very well in everything from Alternative Rock to Goth to Metal. Also, it isn't just how well the synthesizer is used, but how well the synthesizer is integrated into the rest of the music. end rant.

I would like to see more "all analogue synth" work, and I'm working towards putting together a studio to do exactly that.
