Nice picks! Roxy Music deserves vaulted mention imho, although some might not call it "synth-pop," and none of it is "lost." ;) Also, anyone remember what Ministry sounded like back then? Picking it up just as the 80's closed, Elegant Machinery helped keep the genre alive through the 90's. De/Vision and And One are probably better known, though. In 1994, Lassigue Bendthaus branded itself as "world famous technopop" on the album "Render," although the project remains obscure. ;)

I'm glad I found this thread. There are several bands mentioned I'd never heard of.
Nice one, Atmasphere. 4AD really had my heart for awhile. I have a friend who still buys most of what 4AD puts out on lp. I hope to one day hear some of it through your products. :)

I was kicking myself for not mentioning Camouflage, but it was just a matter of time. ;) To keep things alive, anyone else get into Kie the Vez, Dark Voices, Majestic . . . *checking thread* . . . and is there agreement that Arcadia was a better DD side project than Power Station? Or maybe I'm not being fair.
