I think my first few albums were along the lines of 2001/Space Odyssey(with a few additional themes to boot), Star Wars(Full movie-dialogue), Xanadu, Grease, and a few others I can't remember. These all came with an 8-track player my sister and I recieved froma neighbor as the unsaleable remnants of their garage sale. About a year later I bought my first official "cassette", which was Phil Collins "Face Value", closest thing I could get to the Miami Vice soundtrack because it was the only song I could sing to the store clerk (In the Air tonight...remember?) Well, there's no accounting for pop taste at that age. My descent into semi-IDM came when Trent entered what was at the time the tail end of the industrial music evolution. After the commercial success of "Pretty Hate MAchine" that year the only album I could enjoy was MBM's "Satyricon", but luckily I happened onto a Rising High trance/ambient compilation a bit later, and the bug got me. In fact, it was Rising High's release of "Avantgardism" that finally sold me on D 'n B years later. A DJ at the time spinning ambient kookiness in a side room of a club I helped found in TX, my best friend had been shoving Moving Shadow and Metalheadz down my throat for over two years, meanwhile I fed him the likes of dub, warp stuff, etc. Not being a member of any of the mailing lists here, I bumped into "Avantgardism" of my own accord and now own even "normal" non-idm jungle on vinyl. Even spin the stuff at parties too! Silly me, what have I become? A _REAL_ DJ? I should be so unlucky.... np: > >i love both of those still. i thought the Ghostbusters ST was a really >good score, but Axel F used to be my #1 fave track in the world. it was >the the beginning of my taste in synth. i have about 6 differet versions >of the Miami Vice theme also. among other great soundtracks from >yesteryears R Jaws and Back to the Future. > >unlimited to 1 copy, >rop > >_____________________________________________________________________ >You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail. >Get completely free e-mail from Juno at http://www.juno.com >Or call Juno at (800) 654-JUNO [654-5866] >
