Like most people I like music. Nothing unusual about that of course. Other than news broadcasts I listen to it most of the time. I had almost two days’ music on my iPod (now lost). Nothing unusual I hear you say. You are right.
My taste in music is eclectic. Again nothing unusual.
But it is the style/s of music I listen to that is perhaps a little different. Or maybe not so different.
As an adolescent in the so-called Psychedelic Sixties I liked the Psychedelic style and it has prevailed in one sort or another ever since. Starting with artists like Iron Butterfly, Jimi Hendrix, Electric Prunes, The Beatles, of course, and The Byrds to name a few. Into the Seventies a little heavier with artists like Cream, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath before I went out in to the unknowns of space with the emerging German electronic bands Tangerine Dream, Cluster, Klaus Schultze and the Progressive Rock purveyors Yes, Moody Blues, Hawkwind, King Crimson and the Cosmic Jokers. Then into the Eighties with the Industrials Test Department, SPK, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Nurse With Wound on to the post-Industrials like Skinny Puppy, Lust Morde, In The Nursery, Legendary Pink Dots, Zoviet France et al. Through all this, and since, folk and world music are there as well with artists Ravi Shankar, Loreena McKennitt, Dead Can Dance, Azam Ali and Clannad. Not forgetting the experimental sound collages and numerous soundtrack excerpts (mostly from Sci Fi and Horror films). Heavy Metal is represented by My Dying Bride, Arcturus and Rammstein. And there are a few Classical bits there too.
Anyway I must be sounding like a stuck record so I will now turn off the music, for now.
