songs that molded/changed my musical taste: Pop Music - M (later 70's?) those songs by ELO with the filter sweeps (actually anything with a filter sweep in the 70's) The Telephone Call - Kraftwerk Computer World album - Kraftwerk UTD 90 album - 808 State (This is probably the biggest influence. I clearly remember hearing Cubik on the radio on KROQ while taking a shower, and thinking "wow, this must be the new Kraftwerk!" (back then, I didn't realize there was any techno besides Kraftwerk) I bough the album a few hours later at Tower Records on Hawthorne/Sepulveda. I played it over and over and over and over ) MARS FM in 1992 in Los Angeles any jungle music with those Ed Rush hoover noises from 1996 when I first got into it
