Fans of Jean-Michel Jarre often also like: Tangerine Dream (DE): My favorite recordings are Logos and Poland (both live recordings), but there’s many other great ones, e.g. Force Majeure, Phaedra, Quinoa, … Redshift (UK): Love almost every single album they made. My all-time favorites are Redshift Wild 3, Redshift Wild 2, and Wild (all live recordings). Peter Baumann (DE): I particularly like the first few tracks of Romance '76. If anyone shares my taste, please please please post some more recommendations! :)

Tangerine Dream - Le Parc was also the base of Street Hawk soundtrack (and extremely iconic for 80s TV shows). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl_I1qHjihU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl_I1qHjihU

  Yeah! I remember when I watched Street Hawk as a child and my dad, a huge Tangerine Dream fan, recognized the sound track from the other room. They have a 2-volume CD set with some of their movie soundtracks, see https://www.discogs.com/Tangerine-Dream-The-Hollywood-Years-Vol-1/release/179936 https://www.discogs.com/Tangerine-Dream-The-Hollywood-Years-.... They were quite active in that space. Quoting wikipedia: > The group created over sixty soundtracks which include those for the films Sorcerer, Thief, Risky Business, The Keep, Firestarter, Legend, Near Dark, Shy People, and Miracle Mile. They also composed the score for the video game Grand Theft Auto V.

Some of Mike Oldfield works also fit the style. Try Songs Of Distant Earth for example.

I listened a lot to Tangerine Dream in the 1980s. Poland is my favorite (they've made tons of records). I guess you already now about Klaus Schultze and Edgar Froese...

Ulrich Schnauss has several works much in the style of TD - moody, romantic, storytelling. Try "A strangely isolated place."
- TheOtherHobbes 9y ago
  Ulrich Schnauss is in the current incarnation of TD. He was asked to join just before Edgar Froese died. Schnauss, Thorsten Quaeschning, and Hoshiko Yamane decided to carry on after Froese decided to change his cosmic address (as he put it.) I've heard the first two albums from them and they're magnificent - exactly what you'd expect if you ran 1970s TD through a wormhole to the present, and gave the music an extra infusion of creativity and passion. There are a couple of other albums I haven't heard yet, but based on the other two I have very high hopes.
  - mturmon 9y ago
    Oh, wow, I did not know he was now a member of TD. I see he joined in 2014. The defining albums of his (that I enjoy most) are from the mid 2000s.

William Orbit. Completely prolific and varied but the standard is just so high Try his entire catalogue. Here are just a couple of highlights: Who Owns the Octopus? - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AX8lmn1tk4c https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AX8lmn1tk4c Water from a Vine Leaf - https://open.spotify.com/track/00z9Rax2KTHqKLKYnGHzNk https://open.spotify.com/track/00z9Rax2KTHqKLKYnGHzNk Brand New Bong - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ELrdoimfed0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ELrdoimfed0 Montok Point - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XIPhxU0vZh0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XIPhxU0vZh0

  As an Orbit fan, I remember sitting in a car in the late 90s hearing his very distinctive sound. That's weird, I thought, Radio 1 (UK pop station) doesn't usually play William Orbit. It was a pre-release of Madonna's new album Ray of Light - produced by Orbit and very much his style. I think he's gone off the boil recently, but Strange Cargo 3 and Hinterland-era Orbit still holds up.

From roughly the same era as Jean-Michel Jarre's heyday, there is the little known Dutch group Peru (aka Nova): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_(Dutch_band) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_(Dutch_band) https://www.discogs.com/artist/98910-Peru https://www.discogs.com/artist/98910-Peru I particularly liked their album "Constellations". Different in style but hot on the heels of Oxygene, there was the French group Droids, which scored a Star Wars-inspired hit in Europe with "The Force", built on it with the album "Star Peace" and then left the planet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dro%C3%AFds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dro%C3%AFds https://www.discogs.com/Droids-Star-Peace/master/36264 https://www.discogs.com/Droids-Star-Peace/master/36264 A modern contender is Stellardrone, from Lithuania: https://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/ https://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/

  Peru’s Constellations reminds me a lot of TD. Great tips, thank you!

Klaus Schulze, Ashra, Cluster, Harmonia... On the more pop side, there's the whole genre of "minimal wave" of the early 80s. I am building a playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/ivzhao/playlist/1ti0pgDyCrf1FTLucTJ1QW https://open.spotify.com/user/ivzhao/playlist/1ti0pgDyCrf1FT... Many of them reissued on vinyl by http://minimalwave.com/ http://minimalwave.com/ Or trace who Brian Eno have worked with always help too.

Check out Laurie Spiegel too, who worked at Bell Labs in the '70s and '80s I think. She's absolutely brilliant. And fun fact, she composed music that also ended up on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NChqEEz31eE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NChqEEz31eE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzOJtZYsGSA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzOJtZYsGSA

I'm happy to join in :) Shpongle and Ott (indeed anything associated with Simon Posford) almost has some Jarre moments, while not really being like Jarre. Chris Nemmo - quite a range from electronic, though releases frustratingly infrequently. M83 hasn't been mentioned yet. Curiously this is another group that JMJ worked with during his recent Electronica albums, with many of the artists being mentioned here having done collaborations in that set - Yello, Tangerine Dream, The Orb, Hans Zimmer, Air, Massive Attack etc.

Isao Tomita. Classical music mostly played on a Moog, with an increasing collection of supporting polysynths as the years went by. Everything up to The Ravel Album is great. Tomita probably ranks as the only true Moog virtuoso sound designer. Literally nobody else used the instrument quite so creatively, or produced such an incredible range of distinctive sounds with it. This sounds like a recipe for cheese, but it's anything but. Everyone who owns, uses, or is even slightly interested in modular synthesizers should hear his albums.
- jacquesm 9y ago
  Special recommendation for Dance of the Firebird.
- bananaboy 9y ago
  Tomita's music is fantastic. I love his version of Holst's The Planets. I haven't listened to his music in years though, so I just now found out he passed away last year!
