Just to throw out my favorite German band for the sake of the forum, it has to be Enid. These guys have one of the best keyboard players out there. Get over to the Elven Witchcraft mailorder (Latvia) and grab their Nachteganken demotape, it's a masterpiece! I mean, they have drums, guitars, and a few vocals splashed around, but the entire project is focused around the synths, and they're nothing short of masterful. Check them out!
