Electronic music is a very popular movement nowadays. The heart and soul of the genre lies in the use of synthesizers and sequencers.
The first “intelligent” use of synthesizers is attributed to the Beatles at the tail end of the 60’s, whereas the first “massive” use harks back to the classic Who album “Who’s Next” (1971), where such devices where used to add melodic strength instead of mere superficial gloss. It must be mentioned that Stevie Wonder also made a similar breakthrough in black music, albeit this took place in 1972, one year after the Who’s opus was released. The Synthtopia website is devoted to such musical genre. The site includes reviews of both music and music-related websites, while music news are prominently featured. There is also comprehensive electronic music equipment coverage. In addition to synthesizers and sequencers, you can read about drum machines (an extremely popular tool during the 80’s) and audio processors online.
