Blah!!!! Why else do ya think I've got that ORB Star tattooed on my back! i never became passionate about music until I ran into electronic music/techno/'lectronica/whatever. And it was thru the ORB. hence why I got the tattoo. However, it really wasn't Fluff Clouds as much as it was the Aubrey Mixes. I had heard Clouds tons of times on the radio like you say and didn't really care for "that techno stuff" back in 1991, but at Noise Noise Noise dave was playing the 12" of Aubrey Mixes and that 3rd track (spanish castles in space mix?) that grabbed my attention. so I'd say Aubrey was my doorway to the music and then SAW1 was the rekkid that confirmed I was in the right room! > > Which brings me to the Boards of Canada. (snip) . In the end you need melody, and these boys got it. yep and it's why I try to purchase MELODIC idm only. maybe we should discuss MELDOY in IDM (I dunno) but I find some of the SCHEMATIC (jeswa and metic esp) to have some great melody. suggestion for more...... gilly np: joey Beltram AONOX (was this passed up by too many people or what?) > > Idm spot: 4 by Aphew Twin was played as filler music on NPR's All Things > Considered.
