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
