I vote Kirlian Camera and my best song is from Circuit 7 - Video boys.

I'm going to really have to go through my collection for the song, but for being one of the first, my group vote goes to Suicide.

Japan - Ghosts

A bit too well-known to fit into the strict minimal synth category, but "Warm Leatherette" has yet to be topped.

What about this?

Hard to call them my favourite group since I think Didi & die Herzschrittmacher only released one 7" single (Wenn dein Herz) in 1982.

But the b-side,"Modern", is fantastic!

I also like A.G.N.E.S. by 1000 ohm.

Hmmm...I'm gonna have to think about this one.

Nice call on the Circuit 7 track, although I really like "Eastern Dream" from the Modern Story 7" better.

Can't go wrong with 'N.I.T.A.' from Young Marble Giants.

Or perhaps the lovely & elegiac 'I Believe in You' from Talk Talk.

not a favorite, but some reason I find this one fascinating:

Catching some snippets of the original Terminator over the weekend made me realize what a budget job that original soundtrack was...and cool! So for this morning, I'm gonna say Brad Fiedel - The Terminator:

I never tire of hearing "Erde 80" by Christoff Glowalla

I could never get the handle on exactly what "minimal synth" was anyway, so:

Please, it's called synthpop:

[b] ...is there a lawyer in the house? [/b]

My picks:
Das Kabinette- The Cabinet
Martin Dupont- He Saw The Light
Beograd- TV
Snowy Red- Euroshima
Camera Obscura- Escape From The City
Hard Corps- Je Suis Passee
Seppuku- Under Your Control
Stranger Station- Minutes To Silence
Mick Milk- Point of Purchase

i have to admit ive never fully understood where the exact boundaries are of minimal synth either.
but i always liked
shox lumania-signals.
shox- no turning back.

and of course this.
