Best synth sound ever

Indeed, Low/Heroes/Lodger is the Berlin trilogy. I once (okay, twice) made a trek to his former shared gaffe with Iggy Pop in Schoneberg.
Station to Station is, I guess, the bridge between the glam/plastic soul era and Berlin, and it fits the bill perfectly (recorded in LA, though I had to look that up just now). Genius album.
Lodger is well worth getting too.

Hauptstrasse. Obviously I had to look that up, ahem.

That's great, I love a bit of soulful electro.
The bass sound reminds me a bit of this:
which is sort of acid house meets new beat, kinda? It's pretty silly but I quite like it.
This (from the Ghostbusters soundtrack) is quality. It's one of the most insidiously evil things I've ever heard, although that's possibly due more to the vocals than the synths. Lovely ominous pulsing bass.

0'45" on
It was like the very air tearing apart, hearing this on an enormous rave soundsystem. First 12" I ever bought.

ha! um, cool track but not sure i'd go THAT far.
Possibly because of the way it's used in the film during the event that's meant to be the beginning of the end of the world, but there's just something very uncanny and sinister about it, I can't help but feel.
Edit: HMG, that fucking rips! Amazing. Don't think I remember ever hearing it in a club, which is a shame because it's the kind of thing I love. Always go nuts when 'Energy Flash' comes on.
While we're at it:
Dunno about 'best' but it's gotta be up there for nastiness.

Most club licences didn't stretch to allowing Horsepower to be played inside solid walls, it was for external use only.
This one also from around the same time - nicely piano-driven, nice vocal sample... then... then... what the fuck is that from 1'45" and on? Nothing much, just the preamble for 2'15"
RIP Caspar Pound.
I don't mind a lot of the tracks in that jackin'/electroline thread but this stuff tears the shirt off its fucking back and hoses it down with Vicks

off topic but...how does that work, and how is it enforced? i mean, do club owners flip thru each dj's case and pull out records they can't play? no idea how it works in reality.

Massive tune - remember getting it on an R&S compilation appropriately bought on a trip to Brussels

Is it like the techno equivalent of the 'brown noise'?
This is brilliant. For sheer acid weebly-wurbliness, it's up there with this:
I like how, just when you thought it couldn't get any more acid, it reaches 2:59 and then just ratchets it up another notch.
Stakker was Rob Dougan, who was later in FSOL. Who did a lot of naff hippyish whalesong rubbish, but did some great stuff as well. This track has probably the best acid squelch ever - turn up the volume and the bass/mid and wait till it hits 1:00...
