So, traditionally I've always been a rock music kind of guy, some variation into the weirder ends of indie such as the Fiery Furnaces but the thought of songs without much in the way lyrics was always iffy to me.
Over the last few years though I have noticed I've started to like quite a bit of electronic stuff a lot.
Through the entry level drug of Deutsche Niew Velle its happened.
Modern stuff still souns shitty to me but the likes of Kraftwerk, Grauzone and Black Devil I'm 'down with' as the kids said way back when.

So...any suggestions of good analogue eletronic music from back in the 70s and 80s?
Or am I alone in my weird new like.

Faust and Can are two Krautrock bands from 70's you might like.

If you don't have them already get Bowie's triptych (Low, Heroes, Lodger) and his later works Earthling and Outside.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Tangerine Dream perhaps.

5 Bowie albums seems a bit overkill.  :huh:

Gary Numan - Telekon.

See why so many others cite him as such a huge influence.

Yes.

Check Last.fm for similar bands. Myself I like bands like Feindflug, Heimataerde, Unternehmen Stahlklang, ...

Oh, and bauhaus! And Laibach (who were a direct influence on Rammstein).

I'll take notes from this thread.
I like this kind of music but it's not really popular here in belgium. At least with us youngsters.

Friends of mine also like Terminal Choice, Eisbrecher, ASP, and a couple other bands which I forget (and don't like).
