Delia Derbyshire "Electro Sonic" -- Yes, because of the classic Dr. Who.
Wendy Carlos--either the Bach stuff or A Clockwork Orange, some of the early stuff I picked up.
These two too: JMJ's Oxygène and Équinoxe.

Syrinx was great. Never got the recognition they deserved (or the CD issues).
I just found out that this is an alias of Jean Jacques Perry....
Seriously? Where'd you hear that?
It was on an electronic music blog and on discogs:

Not the most reliable of sources, but there is a certain logic to it.
RIP, Tomita.
Shit. Who's next? Wendy Carlos?
Any source for this? It appears to be just a hoax.

I just saw it mentioned at stevehoffman. Doesn't appear to be a hoax.

Weird, I can't find the news anywhere else.
No RIP thread here?
It's been confirmed on his Facebook page.

Really sad news.
Who starts a RIP thread?
Reminds me of "The Andromeda Strain" sound track.

I am now able to stand corrected.
RVNG Int'l has reissued Syrinx's two excellent and very unique albums on one CD, along with a second disc of previously unreleased rarities. 14 October 2016, look for "Tumblers From The Vault, 1970-1972". I just found out about it!!! The sonic quality is EXCELLENT.
Mort Garson put out all kinds of cosmic albums.
But my fave electro LP from way back then would be Cauldron by Fifty Foot Hose. Ring modulators, echo, reverb, etc. No synths at all.
My Name is Marietta Cashman, Buchla 100.
Yeah, I saw that Syrinx comp CD a few days ago in a record store. I had one of those LP's in the 70's and one of leader John Mills-Cockell's solo albums. Interesting stuff, but not enough to buy again.
Would like to add some early synth/electronic favorites: the first album by White Noise, also The United States of America and spin-off American Metaphysical Circus by Joe Byrd & the Field Hippies. Not strictly synths but great nonetheless. Also, some of Stockhausen's electronic stuff from that era is good. Somebody mentioned Ron Geesin earlier, I'll just say that several of his albums from that era are good, though not strictly electronic.
Some real toe-tappers there. I'm going to be whistling those all night.
When I was a teenager, our local library had a very fine LP collection, which included an "electronic music" section. They had Hymnen. Sternklang, Sirius, Mikrophonie I+II, Kurzwellen, the LP with Kontakte and Song Of The Youths on it, and I think a few others. I know in the "classical music" areas, they had a bunch of his orchestral pieces, and they also had the Harlequin album (basically clarinet solos, composed for Stockhausen's mistress, Suzanne Stephens, who looked very fetching in the harlequin outfit on the album cover).
I remember the library also had some of the Tangerine Dream records (Cyclone, Phaedra, and maybe a couple others), as well as at least one Subotnick record, a couple of the Wendy Carlos records (naturally, one of them was S-OB), and a few others I've forgotten. I think I might have borrowed at least one Penderecki CD from the library too.
Unfortunately, a lot of that stuff went away sometime in the mid 90's. I remember the cassette deck in my home stereo was screwed up, but at some point, I realized I could connect the turntable directly into my boombox (which had line inputs). Sound quality was a bit iffy, but at least it let me make my own copies of some of the Stockhausen records (which at the time, hadn't been issued on CD, and when they did become available, they could only be had at extortionate prices). But alas, I figured this out a little too late, as I think as I started copying the records, the library started withdrawing some of the more esoteric items from circulation. So I made copies of Hymnen, and Kurzwellen, but by the time I was ready to Mikrophonie, Sirius, Sterenklang, or the other records, they were already no longer available.
Delia Derbyshire, The Zodiac, Seastones (Ned Lagin), Mother Mallard, Daphne Oram, Tonto's Expanding Head Band (1st. album), Jaroslav Krcek's Raab (part tapes, I know, but also administered audio filter processing).
