Yes; you're absolutely right - seeing I'm personally being called on, I shall have to do this ( I was trying to stick my head in the sand ) : Juno Reactor's "Rotorblade" - a section of which was on a free CD with The Mix - was the first real push over the edge into my present musical realm. Here's a jumbled history of where it all went wrong :-) The Beatles - all their singles and early stuff especially John Martyn : Solid Air The Bothy Band (Irish trad.) Alan Stivell Talking Heads - 77 B-52's (very very very loudly) Devo - Are we not men Wire : 152 / Chairs Missing / Pink Flag Grateful Dead : American Beauty Echo & The B - Heaven up Here Shriekback - Oil and Gold New Model Army - Ghost of Cain The Police Eno & various : After the heat / Bush of Ghosts etc. Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft - all DAF's early stuff The Doors (esp. Riders on the Storm) Pat Metheny : As Wichita falls, so falls Wichita Falls Martha & The Muffins : Echo Beach (the track) The The : Infected UB40 - Signing Off SoM : A slight Case of Overbombing Underworld : Dubnobass... FSOL : Dead Cities Portishead - s/t Leftfield : Leftism Carl Craig (Wonderful World, the track) Luke Slater - Freek Funk (Track PURELY blows me every time) Squarepusher : Beep Street (the track) Aural Expansion - Surreal Sheep oh - and Brahms' Requiem.
