This is not an inclusive list by any means. I have favorites that I forget and then rediscover (and wonder how I forgot them), and so I expect I’ll update this list over time. It’s mostly for me to remember and to discover.

Some of my all-time favorites

• Stockhausen
• Walter/Wendy Carlos
• Synergy
• Tangering Dream
• Vangelis
• Jean-Michel Jarre
• Tomita
• Brian Eno

Some newer favorites

• VNV Nation

And even newer (just started listening to)

• Symbion Project
• Kodomo

Others I want to follow up on

• Freezepop
• Splashdown
• Yellow Magic Orchestra
• Gary Numan

In the 1980s and 1990s, I listened to the radio show Hearts of Space a lot; as the name indicates, it focuses on slower electronic music: ambient and new-age. It can still be found on a lot of radio channels across the US.
