I guess Kraftwerk is the only band that already put
away the flute and
made clean synth music and most likely Kraftwerk anyway is the most
important band for this genre. OTOH while "Autobahn" is from 1974,
Kraftwerk became popular 1978 with "Die Mensch-Maschine". Before 1974
(Wiki claims 1973, but IMO this is incorrect), they were not a clean
synth band.
I guess Tangerine Dream did have some flute on "Alpha Centauri",
"Zeit"
or "Atem"... But by 1974 and "Pheadra" they did not, IIRC.
A German, respl. an European masterpiece from 1981,
not made by noobs,
the drummer e.g. is an educated classical musician. That has got the
energy of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath:

Yes. D.A.F. But that's way later, early 80s.
Makes me think, u-he is currently working on filters for a
Sequential Circuit Pro One software emulation. The current state of
what they have called the RePro is available for free (Linux included)
and they are - were - asking for feedback on filters.
An European (English) masterpiece from that time:

Yes, Killing Joke. We were listening to that when playing in a band in
those times. And The Cure.

To bring it 'home' a bit, if only by the nationality, and by keyboard
playing :

Japanese female trio Ars Nova, two keyboard players, drummer. Live in
Mexico. Sound is not good, but the intention is there. Move away, Keith
Emerson.
