Given the age I am , I'd love to lie through my teeth and say early Roxy Music Tangerine Dream or such like but....

Jarre's "Oxygene part 2" ... still the greatest piece of electronic music ever made! To my ears anyway ;-)

I was about 3 years old, and it was an album my father would regularly play. It fascinated me, and still does to this day.

Still sounds ace today . 31 years on ?

The Music for DR Who also Kraftwerk Autobahn & the Single Popcorn

I would have to steal, i mean agree with Dr Who as my first too. Along with non synth group (but used early ones) the beach boys.

Oh yeah, the Doctor WHo theme music!

Actually, my parents had the original Delia Derbyshire version on vinyl, so I used to listen tpo that, but as I also watched the show from about the age of 3, I fell in love with the 1980 Peter Howell Arrangement too, whichi still sounds good today.

I guess looking back that my first indroduction to synth music music is hearing The JM Jarre single Oxygene part 4. Never looked back since.

Earliest memories (of 1970s): I guess it would be the music of Yes. Rick Wakeman's keyboards and use of the minimoog hooked me.

Saw him in Liverpool 76 Never liked Yes but liked his solo stuff

There was also that Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe lineup in the 1980s I think.
