Synth/Electronic LP recommendations


After picking up Kraftwerk's "Minimum-Maximum" and Gary Neuman's "Replicas" this past year, I'd like to get some other LP's of synth-based music. Any suggestions?

Very cool guys - keep 'em coming! A number of these LP's/groups I've never heard of.

How about some things that fall in the Prog or Avant Garde realm? I always liked the sound of analog synths on albums that I grew up with - Yes, ELP, early Genesis.
Synthfreak - I'm mostly listening to vinyl these days, but would certainly go to CD's in the search for good music. There's just something about the sound of analog synths - that warmth and presence....a very "fat" sound - and vinyl seems like a great medium to exploit that.
Looks like I have alot of LP searching/purchasing ahead of me :)

I'm going to try to work chronologically through some of the suggestions. I've located a CBS 1/2 speed version of Wendy Carlos' "Switched on Bach", so I'll be starting there.
