dustin off the cobwebs...hmm...in no particular order: 1. Eon: Spice=20 It didn't really change me, but it at least opened my ears to this stuff = people called "techno." That must have been back around eighth grade or = so...and it stuck with me through all the little musical "phases" I've = been through since then.=20 2. Toad The Wet Sprocket: Pale Drew me away from grungy angst-rock towards music with a bit more = thought put into it. 3. Big Audio Dynamite - Rush EP Track 3 - City Lights mmmm nice 4. Aphex Twin - ICBYD (of course) 5. Black Dog - Spanners The album which set me firmly into the musical rut I'm in now.=20 6. v/a: Necropolis: The Dialogic Project 7. Electric Company: Studio City still not quite sure just what this one's all about, but it does my head = right in every time.=20 8. B12 - Electro Soma 9. Radiohead - OK Computer Made me realize that not all mainstream rock is crap, along with the = best use (and hopefully the last) I've heard of that one Macintosh voice = ("Fred", I believe?).=20 10. Autechre - Autriche Unfortunatly, this is the track that made me realize that Ae is in fact = capable of writing something I don't like. It's the dippy faux bassoon = sound that does it.=20 There's plenty more I'm sure, but ten is enough for now.=20 C.M.
