Jarre, tangerine dreams, trance, ambient and chillout stuff. Also amiga and c64 had a great impact in my life. Doing remixes of mods and sids.

For me it's video game music, a bit of Kauru Wada, Charles Aznavour, Bach, Timbaland and Dr Dre

Lol what? Does Narayan ring a bell?
Okok, all except Narayan... but I think my point about TFOTL still stands, there's nothing spaced out like "skylined", or like the dark sweaty basement techno of "the heat the energy" on there. But I don't want to argue too much with an Amiga brother ;)

I do also love Kula Shaker though... this track from their last album made it into my favourites playlist:
Yeah Kula Shaker are a great band. Rave music was the first music that blew me away with Britpop being next. Oasis were the first non-electronic band to wow when a lad played me the (What's the Story) Morning Glory album. So yeah Oasis, The Verve, Supergrass, Pulp, Blur, Suede, Kuka Shaker, Ocean Colour Scene, Radiohead, Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, Reef, Space etc. All great bands in the 90's.

Everybody was the same with Fat of the Land. The Prodigy were ravers and then FOTL came out Firestarter (although brilliant) was a lot more indie and different.

They still influence me though. So I'd say Oasis, The Verve, Radiohead, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks and Pink Floyd have influenced me the most with guitar music and Noel and his High Flying Birds is still banging out amazing tunes. Check out the title track from his latest album. Top drawer.



And as for Electronic music I have to say Wind It Up, Weather Experience and Jericho by The Prodigy...



And these are some old skool house tracks I love...

Successively:
  • Pink Floyd
  • Tangerine dream
  • Depeche Mode
  • Generally speaking, the forbidden rave scene during the 90's (Psytrance and acid-everything)

The Trainspotting album
Leftism - the album

Brian Eno and his music making philosophy I guess. I remember the track that made me finally decide to buy a computer and try to write electronic music. It was a piece of ambient music used in an Irish drama called Love/Hate. I tracked it down and listened to it on repeat for weeks

He could have done Oxygen III (album) better, though. It had potential, but yeah, 1 month work was a bit shamelessly rushed.
The collaboration albums as of late, weren't bad, but... god, why the loudness war?!

John "Johnny" Keating. Superb arranger, musician and composer in his own right.

This version of "I feel the Earth", is immense; as is the whole, "Space Experience" album, (which i believe was used mainly as demonstration material in the newly burdgeoning Hi-Fi market in the early 70s.)



And the "Unknown planet" - if ever a piece of music deserved the title, "A Fucking Master Piece", it's this.



Damn! That horn section gives me the horn.

Wire. The 80s era in particular but it's all good.

Negativland.

80s/90s industrial and EBM music - Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Skinny Puppy, NIN and such, but also darker and more experimental things like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire.

80s/90s experimental/noise cassette underground.

Electric Light Orchestra.

More recent minimal electronica, along the lines of the Raster-Noton label.

Afro funk, either the real deal from the 70s or the retro-styled modern bands.

Here's the f***ing Parcels - Live

Aussies , living in Berlin, signed to a French record label, doing "sort of a blend between electro-pop and disco-soul". Their sound has since been described as having "an unmistakeable penchant for the 70s [...] fusing together the old and the new"

Complaining your parents didn't take you to see Kiss?? Chu-!
I didn't see the Sun set until I was 16 (except for the 4-8 work hrs of a 14-year old)

but, back to O.P. awesome groups/songs. Prodigy. Yes? them, and Mobb Deep.
But, right now, it's about FeedBack. Of course, run though Moog Drive, EQD Tonejob and Roland's Demora:

So I'm a few years older than you but still, I really liked Kiss when I was young. Younger than 10 though. When I was about 8 my Grannie took me to see them somewhere in Maine while we were on holiday one summer.
I wanted to go but my parents wouldn't let me or take me there. I have still not forgiven them.
