Here's my latest mix that I'm pretty dang proud of. I wanted something comprehensive but not overwhelming. In researching this I found a TON of stuff I didn't know existed. For every band on this mix that you've heard of there were a dozen I never heard of. I tried to spread out the sounds (see sub-genre list) and I tried to spread out the years represented (otherwise there would be a lot more cheesy Moog records from 1969). I also have a pretty international mix, with artists from the US, Japan, UK, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and maybe some other places.

Omissions - Terry Riley's "A Rainbow in Curved Air" and any number of Klaus Schulze tracks were left off because I didn't want to put 16+ minute songs in my mix. I also left off some choice cuts that can be found on the Best of Moog and the Deutsche Elektronische Musik compilations because I love those comps and wanted all this to stand apart.
I can share via dropbox if someone wants to shoot me their email. Spotify was helpful but overall just can't provide what I want to share. Story of my mix-making life.
