Does /mu/ like Minimal Synth?
Yes. A lot. Favorite band of the genre is probably Deux but I've been digging into it a lot and finding some cool stuff.
Been wanting to get into it, any recs? I like Haus Arafna and Linear Movement, not sure if either strictly qualifies but just as a general idea

Do you prefer it on the more industrial side (a good deal of the pre-90s suff) or the poppier side (Oppenheimer Analysis, most newer things)?

Oppenheimer Analysis and Solid Space are most people's entries to the genre. If you like the first more the newer releases by Minimal Wave might be more your cup of tea. If not check out the Tara Cross box and some of the artists featured on it or the Minimal Wave retrospectives.

Deux, Oppenheimer Analysis, and Moderne are pretty cool.

Poppier stuff generally but I can do some of the more industrial stuff. Cabaret Voltaire for instance probably fits into both and they're pretty cool. Have kind of avoided most of the modern stuff as I feel like it could suffer the same way as synthwave and shit.

Also, the French seem to have the most of this kind of stuff. There's a few collections I've listened to that are pretty good with that stuff.
>So Young But So Cold: Underground French Music 1977-1983
>BIPPP: French Synth-Wave 1979/1985
Could be good jumping off points. The label Minimal Wave releases older stuff too and has some collections that might be worth listening to. The Lost Tapes is one from them I've listened to.

I'm not sure if Kedr Livanskiy can count as minimal synth or not but she could appeal to people who like it.
