* Depeche Mode: Generic Synthpop Standards. Varies from functional-constructionalist (the earlier stuff) to trippy-bizarre (the later stuff). Master and Servant and In Your Room shouldn't be ignored. |
* Gwen Stefani - Love, Angel, Music, Baby. Specifically songs such as Bubble Pop Electric (Down/Charmish), Harajuka Girls (I can't really categorise this, but it makes me think of PBX, help?) and Hollaback Girl (The beat feels Down to me), but the whole album is most enjoyable, fun beats and cool synthesiser sounds abound. |

Corasyn) and Hollaback Girl (The beat feels Down to me). Danger Zone sounds quite trippy-cyborg, too. The whole album is most enjoyable, fun beats and cool synthesiser sounds abound. |
* Vangelis: Pretty much the end-all-be-all of "cosmic-music". Soundtracks to Bladerunner and Carl Sagan's Cosmos are highly noteworthy. |
