one are some of yr ecclectic influences?
prob my biggest influence has actually been swing music. one of the only other instrumental music genres that reached widespread popularity after orchestral music. great song structure, depth and variety. and the drummers! i just found these:

I think there's also a link with Godflesh and Fudge Tunnel - quite slow, brooding, dark, bass heavy music - think Fudge Tunnel win it for their version of "Sunshine of your Love". My favourite tune of there's is probably SRT - purely for the mindless riffage and feedback. Beats the shit out of "Imagine" (someone fuckin should)
Have also liked - Big Black, Sonic Youth, Public Enemy, NWA, Royal Trux, Pussy Galore, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Remarc, Congo Natty, Ed Rush, Boredoms, John Coltrane, Ravel, Stravinsky and Unsane. Literally thousands of others have done something somewhere for me.

prismatic7 - yup, that's me.
i listened to a lot of scorn and i hear the similarity in dubstep with some of the same pallet, but wonder how much is just coincidence?
Shonky - you've got some good shit listed there. i need to dig out bad moon rising.

Nice to know I'm amongst such well versed company - hopefully my radio show's starting soon want to keep it well eclectic - much though I love dubstep it'd be well nice to play loads of tunes that inspire other peeps as much as they did me.
Forgot to mention Moonshake and Laika - think the dubstep massive would well appreciate them even though they've been defunct long time

i've got influences spanning fromthe classic ska/reggae stuff to punk bands such as discharge, black flag, extreme noise terror, to grunge like mudhoney and screaming trees, old psychadelia, 90's hip hop (not into the crunk stuff, or the gunit type stuff, loving busta rhymes, wu-tang an that) to indie stuff like my bloody valentine, the jesus and mary chain, gothy stuff like the cure, siouxsie and the banshees, to metal like slayer, early machinehead, to the modern dubstep stuff and decent dnb, basiccly anything that has passion, and creative energy!

Same as, sums it up right there. I'm so proud of my dubstep bredren and sistren reading this thread - there's a real love of music across the boards here.
Never thought I'd see Mudhoney, Slayer, My Bloody Valentine, Gene Krupa, Dinosaur Jr and Wu-tang in the same thread
You peeps made my day
