Suggestions: Electronic music that' similar to Baroque organ (heavy on polyphony and harmonic...

As the title suggests, I'm looking to expand my music collection to include more electronic music, since as of now it consists mainly of Classical, Jazz, Soul, and Rap/Hip Hop.

 

I'm a huge fan of Bach's organ works, and I especially like the harmonic progressions and polyphony he uses.

Of the very few electronic music songs/album I've heard, I found I always liked those that incorporated a lot of harmonic progressions and lots of polyphonic synthesizers.

 

If anyone more familiar with the genre has suggestions for music/artists/albums that have a lot of harmonic progressions and polyphony I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Analog synths can't make polyphonies...

Well is it not possible to use multiple synths if they're analog? I don't see why that couldn't happen, but maybe someone with more knowledge can shed some light on the matter...
 

 

And Negakinu, thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into them. I just watched Inception tonight actually!

of course you can play as many keyboards as your hands and skills allow you to

Makes sense, thanks. Either way though, I'm fine with music made with digital synths/not performed live. Actually, I'd probably prefer it since it allows for more complex instrumentation. I've worked with several DAW's such as Ableton and Reason and I definitely know it's possible to layer a lot of different synths, so that's proabably the type of thing I'm looking for.

That's Rick Wakeman live with the LSO performing Journey to the Center of the Earth, right?

That does looks like Rick Wakeman.

 

Another one is Keith Emerson from Emerson Lake & Palmer.
