There were the fake-radios on Rockstars's GTA III videogame I really enjoyed and one fake jungle radio called "MSX FM" which I really loved. The cool thing of the genre is how those vocalists go fast-talking over the sound, I made searches for NY original recordings of those radios that obviously would exist even in the real world, I mean in the Big Apple airplay of the nineties, but didn't find any. I'll be more interested in those recordings than in the commercial genre itself.

Tom7777 · 1 Dec 2007

Yeah big fan of the PS2 GTA games, with games i like RPGS alot the final fantasy and chrono series etc and i like there soundtracks also but there more ambient/ethnic but still nice music imo. Not quite the GTA radio mixes but i just PMd you a forum link where you can get some ragga jungle/jungle mixes 🙂

Interesting that you have Killing Joke as 'present' - I loved their first two albums and their live 10 inch EP.

Anything after 1995 is a mystery to me as I'm now too old to follow music.

Ok music i listen to on a regular basis 🙂

the smiths radiohead (my favorite band ever) stereophonics the beatles faithless the verve oasis john lennon the sex pistols artic monkeys the prodigy chemical brothers underworld kasabien ohhh many others but there the main ones i listen to.

Hmm... can you tell I'm british? 😉 😀

My favorite electronic music is trance, but i don't listen to any of the commercial charty stuff.

I usually buy Dj mixes by the likes of...

Nick warren john digweed Oakenfold (back in the day 🙂 ) sasha Testio armin van burren sander klenenberg deep dish dave seaman

just to name a few...

I don't really follow any particular producer.

Although a tune I'm like at the moment is by a producer named 'john o'callaghan' called 'big sky' (agnelli & nelson remix -better than the original.)

recently though I'm getting into harder styles of trance and more vocal stuff, I few years ago it was mainly slow trippy stuff.

I first got into trance around 94/95 I love all types as long as it not cheesy 😀

And I absolutely love dancing 😀 , trust me if I'm in a club (or even a pub 🙂 ) and they start playing banging trance tunes, i just have to get up an dance . Dancing for me is like meditation nothing exists except the music i get completely lost in it. I've been dancing ever since i could walk 😀 , i used to enter dancing competitions on holiday and win my family free holidays!

Dancing is one form of expression that feels completely natural to me. 😀 And trance is the medium in which my art form travels 😀 It's hard for me to explain how deep dancing is for me, it's the only thing in this world which makes me feel at one with my self. It is pure and undiluted by thoughts.

cheers 😉

Because there's a new 2007 work, "Hosannas from the basement of Hell" - it's real masterpiece, try give it a listen... a real "new wave" band, IMO, still today.

Phenomens. Strange thing is they existed even before "Karma Police" video went out and spread their name worldwide. It was the cornerstone of their "career" but they were really nice musicians from the start...

aliasant · 2 Dec 2007

Tangerine Dream: Early stuff only. Nothing after 1984. Björk: Early stuff Damien Rice Daniel Lanois Depeche Mode Imogen Heap Lali Puna Massive Attack The Cure

Actually. i mostly listen to Tangerine Dream... Everytime I travel I have my little mp3 player filled with the best albums from TD. About 1 gig of great synth music.=) I have done this for the past 25 years.... Kind of weird I guess.. But TDs music is somehow like a drug for me. Makes everything else go away.

A great band. My favorite LP is "Zeit", a concept album on the flowing of time.

My fav is probably White Eagle and Tangram. Not so heavy. Almost poppish 😉

Then there is Rubycon. A great albusm with some softer tracks. And Cyclon... oh. There so much good stuff from the late 70's early 80's That music, headphones, loud, on a bus or a train... going somewere .....magic 🙂

Tom7777 · 2 Dec 2007

Quite like Tangerine Dream myself, also some of the 80s tracks, soundtracks and all the james bond music etc and a range of stuff i guess. The synths from the 80s sound really nice imo, will have to google for some of these artists/bands as im sure theres a load of stuff i would like which i havent heard yet 🙂

stefan · 3 Dec 2007

Uhm, hm....

Fav bands, or something:

Hocico She Wants Revenge Electric Six Muse Covenant (the Swedish one) Ramones The Killers The Lovemakers Shpongle The Knife Dick Dale Weezer Bright Eyes Wolf Parade Arctic Monkeys Icon Of Coil Kaizers Orchestra Funker Vogt

BasherT · 3 Dec 2007

OK, here goes:

The Beatles Led Zep Deep Purple Black Sabbath Iron Maiden Pink Floyd Alice Cooper Motorhead Ramones Guns N Roses Van Halen (without Hagar! I'm with you on that AM) The Cult Extreme Matthew Sweet (Girlfriend is one of the best albums of the nineties IMHO and hardly anyone has heard it - http://www.myspace.com/matthewsweetmusic) Crowded House (just love those melodies and harmonies - great live too) Bare Naked Ladies Squeeze Ryan Adams Radiohead (OK computer is the best album ever made IMHO) Muse (if you haven't heard Black Holes and Revelations you MUST check it out) Smiths Stranglers Icicle Works

Electronica? Don't listen to it much really, more of a guitar fan. Being a keyboard player in a metal band is not much fun though...

I like bits of trance, Tiesto, Corsten et al.

Still listen to JM Jarre occasionally (It is amazing what a rich boy with a musician father and with unlimited access to technology can produce - mark ronson anyone?)

As you can tell I am an oldie who started off in his younger years listening to Metal but who has mellowed with age... 🙂

Oh interesting, been into these stuff for a long time, between 94-98... apart from Shpongle which are very out of the lot, and infact I discovered them a bit later in my "psy" period... 😀

Uhm, the others are quite broad in style too? I mean... I list indie, rock, emo, surf, ebm, futurepop, punk rock, ompa, electro-pop? 🙂

Of course, but I recognised some dark-punk-wave common denominator there.. apart from the surf of weezer but weezer may be seen as a Ramones branch mixed with beach boys (!!)... 😉

Oh, never seen it that way myself! I haven't really managed to find a common denominator, but if I'd have to choose I guess it would be EBM, which to some maybe is very close to dark-punk-wave (think Nitzer Ebb), but I really listen to EBM, indie, rock and newstyle (or "gabber") to about the same extent. Never tried to analyze my tastes, or lack thereof, in music. Might prove interesting if one does 🙂

Classy Shif..! So I should just go back to your list when I want to explore some good black music (which I don't know too much, unfortunately)... but I love Roy Ayers, it's amazing how he can play those xylophones: did you listen to that "new" album containing unreleased tracks? I really appreciate that, it's even better than the regular Ayers albums , there are some gems inside...!

T!6ER · 4 Dec 2007

Man, y'all are listening to electro, pop, techno, house, trance, etc... Rarely I seen hip-hop here... I mostly like what was made between 88-04...

OK here goes... 2Pac Eminem Nas Xzibit Ice Cube GRITS Krs-One Dr. Dre Obie Trice ... and not so hip-hoppish... Linkin Park Green Day Good Charlotte Hawk Nelson Rise Against Blind Guardian... etc... 😉

oh n a lil spam:

He did put them under "not so hip-hoppish" 🙂 Why didn't you react on Green Day and Good Charlotte? 🙂 (Linkin Park 'raps', and the other two I haven't heard of, so.... 🙂)

AngularMomentum · 5 Dec 2007

I have seen yesterday a live performance from Soulwax on TV, very good stuff, they even did an awesome live version of "Dominator" from Human Resource. After seeing that I had to make some music myself.

@ Acrobat, I really like Siouxsie, specially the Album Tinderbox, with tracks like City's in Dust.

PS: Offspring... ++++ better than greenday!
