I somehow forgot Add N to (X) previously. This was an error.
I saw them live when they still existed, tons of analog synths played live, wonderful. One of the bestest bands ever.

Good list chrisdermo! ^ Advisory Circle is a particular fave of mine.
Recently I've been getting down with 'Generator' by Keith Fullerton Whitman, can Zone Out hard to it.

Yes thanks !! Will add all this to my Spotify.
I've been so immersed w Cortini I'd likely blow the dude's rod at this point. But beyond him I've got to spend time with Keith Fullerton Whitman, Simian Mobile Disco, Boards of Canada ...

Wow. I'm surprised.
Avant Hard is in my opinion their masterpiece but the other albums are all good too .

I will check them out. Had heard of them but never really investigated.
Broadcast used a Jen SX1000 mono synth, along with a variety of other synths, organs, and pianos. They're not a synth band, but I don't think they've ever recorded anything without a keyboard. There are so many layers, swirling sounds, hums, and lo-fi synth screeches everywhere. If you want to hear creative uses of keyboards as a textural instrument or just nice recording techniques for a unique sound, you can't go wrong with stuff like Future Crayon, Tender Buttons, The Noise Made by People, et cetera.
