being a really strict type of music fan before
i only really bought dark kinda underground music.
never really ventured out of that bubble of though.
until I got this album:

Trip-Hop Album with traditional Indian sounds and vocals, i really liked the mixture of modern and old together. fast forward to now,and im eclectic in my music taste.
I listen to non english language music. I hate the term world music,as u think of pan pipes type of music. but there is some really interesting music out there, thats traditional,indian,african or whatever thats really good music.
presently im listening to a cd by an african guy Salif Keita called M'benba

ive started to collect music thats not english language.
its really enjoyable..much better than watered down pop music.
Trust me I like to Skank out to a heavy Guitar/Heavy Bass and a good Hip-hop beat,good dancehall riddim.but also ive also found enlightment in listening to good quality chilled out type music.

Before this album i was a straight up Junglist/Hip Hop/Reggae head.It opened my ears up to all kinds of different music.Still listen to Peterson religiously to this day.Such a shame that Radio 1 have moved him to such a late slot.

Sublime - 40 Oz to freedom

Showed me that it dont matter than music your making as long as you enjoy it yourself, and that, that love for the music you make shows.

Its my favourite Punk album, Reggae album, Rock album and Ska album.

No prob, i find its one of the few albums which seems to pop up with people into allsorts of genres

was pretty much a metal, rock and dub head for nearly all of my young life... then in '99 I was introduced to this



so started listening to hiphop...

then in 2000


Godspeed you black emperor - Slow Riot in new Zero Kanada. This was a major influence in the way I see music today, huge.

and then again later that year got my hands on



autechre - amber. Before this album I would have never really been all that interested in electronic music with no vocals. Took a track like Peizo to wake me up, I still love that track.
Funny story about that track, first time I lsitened to it I was delivering pizzas.... I got lost in the track and 'woke up' at the traffic lights about 7 minuets down the highway from where I was suposed to be.


Then the next really big influence would be paul rose podcast, the first one. Not as influenctial in my broader listening tastes,. I guess because I already have a very ecleptic range, but really pushed me to take producing electronic music seriously

always thought of the beatles as purely pop music because mainly what they played on the radio stations here were from their first 2 albums.

but i just hear everything so much different since this album.

Changed everything I thought I knew about music when I heard this in 91

Then on a blind buy I got this...



And on another a bit later this...



and a week later I heard what I call the 'Blue Tape' by Dj Hyperactive, I think it was really called 'Underground Sound vol x' and it was all over after that...

God, so many stopped me in my tracks and made me re-think everything.

Three stand outs.

David Bowie, Low.
Throbbing Gristle - All three annual reports.
KLF, Chill out.

a hit of lsd and flipper's hahahahahahaha on repeat.

Tom Waits.

jesus, everyone here is so young.
OR
jesus, i'm so old.

whichever.

that said, album that changed my perception of music?
RUN DMC's self-titled debut circa 1984.

i was 12.

before that?

DEVO motherfuckers!!

As corny as it sounds it's fair to say Godspeed changed my life. As much as I love “Slow Riot” it was the LP version of F## A## OO that did it for me, I'd never heard anything so Beautiful but also so horrifically dark. I still haven’t heard anything that sounds as amazing as the movement about 11 minutes into "dead flag blues", it still makes me melt every time I listen to it.

gotta tip the hat to the afore-mentioned Devo (Dayton, Ohio's finest), Bowie's "Low", Godspeed.

my little midwestern brain was rocked when i was introduced to Edgar Varese:

and other musiq concrete freeks from the 50's and 60's. When I began my vinyl obsession these were some of the first records i copped:

Tortiose, UI, NIN, Meshuggah, Burial, Scientist, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Isolee, Plastikman.....

fuck.. this list could be as long as the M1.. just a few though that pump my brain with good shit daily.

Hmm... seriously loads, if i don't have some kind of musical epiphany every few months i generally wonder what is going on.

Pornography by The Cure really got me into the darker side of music, that album is fucking scary, not least because the next thing they released was Lovecats... When i first heard of Rob Smith while listening to Rinse, a tiny part of me hoped ol' panda eyes had got into producing beats.

That led me on through things like Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division, to Scientist Rids The World Of The Evil Curse of the Vampires, to Legalize It by Peter Tosh, i would have bought the Burial album just because of the title, Burial by Peter Tosh is one of my favourite tunes of all time. Some half-price compilation i picked up in Spain ages ago that got me into both Tosh and Augustus Pablo and kick started my reggae obsession has a hell of a lot to answer for.

I would also say any of the last 4 Radiohead albums / Thom's solo album changed me, couldn't stand them or him before, something clicked and i now love them.

nin - pretty hate machine

dredg - leitmotif
nine inch nails - the fragile
underworld - a hundred days off
burial - burial

all of these albums really changed my musical taste quite a bit.. for the better i think
