Any electronic acts similar to Michael McCann?

Really a fan of Jean-Michel Jarre, Micheal McCann, Graeme Norgate and those more orchestral, natural and somewhat futuristic-sounding electronica.

Can anyone make any recommendations?

Tangerine Dream is the only band I can think of that sounds like that.

Or Spyra

Or for the trippier variant, Vibrasphere

Otherwise I can't think of anything. Video game OSTs are hard to compare

I'm liking what I hear so far. Nice finds.


Anyone else have any suggestions?

Nope, I could only think of Tangerine Dream.
For a different style which is more jazz-esqe, I suggest Parov Stelar.

Maybe also check out vintage Vangelis, but he's more on the orchestral side of things
