Vintage synth music recommendations

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

First of I would like to apologize if there's already been threads about this topic (which there probably has). But I really couldn't find any that satisfied my needs.

 

Lately the only music I've been interested in, is music with some kind of vintage synthesizer sounds attached to it (I'm not really an expert on equipment and all that sort of stuff). But I would really like some recommendations, and I don't care what it is. Synth pop, new age, ambient/drone, Detroit techno, old video game/movie soundtracks, new music inspired by old electronic music. Anything will do. And I don't care if it's cheesy.

 

But let's try to keep too much music with the TB-303 out of this thread ;)

I think it's generally frowned upon, but I really like add n to (x)'s earlyish releases. Sounds like this, which is most likely not quite what you're after.

Some songs I made with my fingers and electronics. In the process of making some more. Hopefully.

as somebody newer doing this stuff in a really good way, see Panabrite (aka Jürgen Müller aka Spiral Index). That Spiral Index tape seems a bit different and I like it to.

 

Tomita - this recording never fails to utterly amaze me

Yellow Magic Orchestra - very much synth-pop and kinda nailed the video game sound before it really existed

When it comes to Klaus Schulze inspired dark ambient space-themed black metal musician sideprojects, Neptune Towers is my favorite...

Not analog synths technically, but very early electronic music...Forbidden Planet's "soundtrack" made by Louis and Bebe Barron with ring modulators and effects units.

Good thread idea, reminds me of this one - I've been trying to get into more 60s and 70s synth music myself, whether it be space rock, krautrock/cosmic music, or just any experimental music made with analog synths. I'd also check out this epic recording Awepittance put together...

edit: just to clarify, vintage synth music is one of my favorite things, so I know a lot more than this, but I intentionally only posted these two because IMO they are so amazing that I didn't want anyone to have to wade through a bunch of other stuff to hear them
