Well, after being into hardcore techno, gabber and that cheesy dance that could
be found on the "Techno Trax Vol. ad infinitum" samplers for just _TOO_ long, I
picked up "WipeOut" for the Sony Playstation... not long after, I started
changing my musical tastes _a bit_: ^_^

- Orbital's "Brown Album" (Wasn't that "Orbital 2"?)
- Leftfield's "Leftism"
- "The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld"
- The Chemical Brothers's "Exit Planet Dust"

(also, MTV's Party Zone helped me a bit... then...)

etc. etc. etc. (the CDs following after these are both legion and history :)))

Other milestones: (in no particular order)

- Aphex Twin's "On"
- FSOL's "Dead Cities"
- Spooky's "Found Sound" (any news on these guys?!?)
- Underworld's "Second Toughest In The Infants" (is this considered IDM, 
    or am I on the wrong track here?
- Photek's "Modus Operandi"
- Aphex Twin's "...I Care Because You Do"

yadda, yadda, yadda...

Last thing to say would be that I'm buying too much stuff from Warp lately; is
this bad for my health? <g> (I'm 21, so I should care about my health... NAH!:)

P.S.: What does "s/t" mean? "Sans title"? "Same title"? "Soda/Taco"? ^_^

Trackers were nice <sigh>, but... BUZZ rules!
