... and also, if you are interested in early electronic music, you should check out the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. They were massively influential in their day (in Britain anyway) but are often totally overlooked. They created the theme to the tv show 'Doctor Who' and where using samples in the 1950s!

Fascinating stuff!

Dude yes, yes, yes and yes. Have you ever seen the documentary about it? Brilliant!
Probably the earliest electronic recordings I have are those composed for the Forbidden Planet soundtrack by Louis and Bebe Barron, cited in the credits as "electric tonalities". Someone gave me a copy for research purposes while I was writing my dissertation, the subject of which was the seminal influence of sci-fi scores within the Hollywood classical tradition. (By the way, that makes me sound more of a geek than I actually am though, OK?)
The Barrons were pioneers of the musique concrete movement in the art world and were apparently the first composers to create a piece for magnetic tape. I have the film on video but wanted the option of being able to refer to specific tracks if I had to and I was required to submit a CDR with all cited examples.
I also have a couple of pieces by John Cage, and I'm partial to a bit of Steve Reich, whose music can be very trancey if you ask me. Vangelis is another good one; piece called Spirals written in the 1970's is just beautiful.

My first exposure to electronic music was "Switched on Bach" by Wendy Carlos. My mom had this record and I remember listening to it obsessively as a child. This album was done entirely on a moog modular synth and eventually went platinum. (bach performances done with a moog synth going platinum...I just had to ponder that a bit more  What a trip it would be to hear this again... Here is a bit more about it.

Here is a good site also to research the history of our music.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telharmonium
Telharmonium is the first synth. It was built in 1897, before there even were loudspeakers.
"US Patent no. 580.035, registered by Thaddeus Cahill (1867-1934) in 1897, described a landmark in electronic music. The Dynamophone, also known as the telharmonium, was an electric based sound-generation system (phonographs had been invented some twenty years previous, but were recording devices, not sound generators). The Dynamophone was presented to the public in 1906 at Holyoke Massachusetts. It was later shipped to New York on 30 flatcars. It consisted of shafts and inductors that produced alternating currents of different audio frequencies. A polyphonic keyboard and controls were used to control it."
First electronic music for me was some 80's italo / disco from my sister. Which still causes some serious shaking in the ass sector.
If you like those hammond covers try to find some Klaus Wunderlich recordings.
