I know the Orb and Orbital, as well as FSOL and have been listening to various kinds of electronic music since the 60s, like Jack. I first started with Wendy Carlos' Switched on Bach and Clockwork Orange. But it was the seventies groups like Tangerine Dream, AshRa Temple, Klaus Schulz, Vangelis, and Michael Hoenig which really got me deep into electronic soundscapes. A lot has changed regarding the technology over the years; the way they made the music then was much different than it is now, since the synthesizers were really in their infancy. But what seems to remain the same is the layering of rhythms and sounds over extended lengths of time to create that trance effect. I think there will always be musicians and audiences around to explore this type of music.Let me know some of disks you would recommend.
thanks,
Jim
