Not strictly electronic, but still cool. Actually the whole album is worth a listen.

White Noise w/ Delia Derbyshire - Love Without Sound

There's some odd charm to the early electronic stuff that's hard to put my finger on. Like they were completely unhindered by any sort of rules and sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. When you get back into the 50s with Stockhausen and stuff, I'd really like to "get" what they were doing, but it's really difficult.
 
Picked this LP up at a GW a while back. Not really much to listen to, but it was groundbreaking at the time.

Pretty sure Wendy was in the documentary, Moog, talking about her experiences with Bob and that album's significance. Been a while since I've seen it though.
 
Suicide Commando - Critical Stage (1994)

Not for the faint of heart or easily offended, this stuff is pretty sick.

Consider your self warned.

"Fantastic Plastic Machine" (S/T)

Here's someone I strongly-recommend checking out. He's a Japanese electro/techno DJ who goes by the stage-handle of "Fantastic Plastic Machine". One of my favorites.

From Wiki:
"Tomoyuki Tanaka (田中知之 Tanaka Tomoyuki?) is an electronic music artist/DJ, better known by his stage name of Fantastic Plastic Machine. Tanaka is considered to be part of the Shibuya-kei movement, drawing heavily from bossa nova, lounge music, soft rock, and French pop,[1] but he also incorporates many other types of music. Tanaka was born in Kyoto, Japan."

"FPM", his latest album, was released in 2009 and is easily one of my favorites of the electro/techno sub-genre. "Fantastic Plastic Machine" (S/T), his 1997 debut, has a much-more-retro feel than "FPM", but is also very, very-good. Most of it reminds me of something you'd hear in a Quentin Tarantino film.

From his S/T debut, "Fantastic Plastic Machine":
