Warm '70s Moog albums a la Stevie Wonder

You know...really warm, detailed, expressive...synth bass. I suppose it doesn't have to be Moog. I don't know what other synths Stevie used.

The only other artist that comes to mind is Hiroshi Sato and his 1982 album Awakening, which is almost exclusively synth (a lot more than just Moog...Prophet 5, Jupiter 8, etc.), very smooth, and clearly inspired by Stevie Wonder.

But I don't want to narrow the thread too much, so I'm open to stuff like Hall & Oates' songs "When the Morning Comes" and "She's Gone," both of which has some wonderfully warm Moog in there.

ELP often used synth bass in a way similar to Wonder. But otherwise, they were musically absolutely nothing even remotely like him.
