Summary:there's lots more
Keywords:records,tapes,cds 

You ask for more Kraftwerk style musics?

There's lots more...  Check out Tangerine Dream, especially their
Poland live double LP.  They are entirely synth oriented, this can
be a drag, and some of their LPs are depressing... 

Of course there's lots of Brian Eno LPs around, generaly in two forms
- the more POP oriented stuff (if you can call it that)
Here Come the Warm Jets is an example, and space music
-Music for Airports, music for taxicabs, music for refridgerators, etc.
(No Pussyfooting is a goood example).

Also many fine albums with Eno: Eno, Moebius, Rodelius (the group);
801 and 801 live.  One should not forget Phil Manzanera, of course
he likes guitars tooo.  Oh yeah, and GO live from Paris (Klaus Shultze,
Stomu Yamashta, Stevie Winwood, Al Dimeola etc.)

Another synth only LP which I dearly love is Ypsilon in Malasian Pale,
by Edgar Froese.  Edgar is one of the members of Tangerine Dream.
This is not BEAT based.

For BEAT try: David Byrne / Brian Eno: My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

And if you still like Emerson Lake and Palmer and want more, find
Illusions on a Double Dimple by yet another German band "Triumvirat"

My personal vote for the best ever background music -the soundtrack
to Local Hero by Mark Knopfler (dire straights).

Keep Listening!
