Given the criteria, which rule out Eno and Kraftwerk (and by extension other brilliant introverts like David Gamson of Scritti Politti), this poll should be titled Synth Wankers.
Passing over the worst of the wankers, I have a great deal of respect for Larry Fast (more for his work on Peter Gabriel 3 and 4 than for his solo stuff), but I've got to vote for Thomas Dolby.
(I realize someone can now undermine my whole argument by posting a picture or video of Dolby in full-on wanker mode at the 1985 Grammies.)

I've been listening to a lot of Tomita lately: "Firebird", "Snowflakes are Dancing" and "Kosmos" (check the Star Wars theme version, and his crazy take on "Pacific 231"). Tomita is awesome.

"Snowflakes are Dancing" is great. But for Japanese Star Wars interpretations, I'm a huge fan of the Meco "empire strikes back" single. So so so good.
