Zorch were the UK's first "all synthesiser" band. Their live shows combined psychedelic electronic music with a mind blowing lightshow. Appearing at Stonehenge and other early free festivals, those who saw them play never forgot the experience. This is the only album ever recorded at Peter Zinovieff's EMS studio and features the classic analogue Synthi 100.

Synth textures in early Tangerine Dream/Klaus Schulze vein...Seems like a shoo-in for PE to me! Approve

Quick question, has anyone considered Zorch for inclusion? Searching the whole site barely finds any mention of them. I have to admit I only know them by reputation and there CDs are currently unavailable (they were being sold from Planet Gong website) but have found their studio album on YouTube:

 
 
 
Very reminicient of Tim Blake and Larry Fast to me (ie not great electronic music but interesting none-the-less).
