Stand-out albums that sent me down the path I'm currently travelling:
Mike Oldfield - "Tubular Bells"
Vangelis - "Albedo 0.39"
Tomita - "Firebird"
Propaganda - "A Secret Wish"
Jean Michel Jarre - "Zoolook"
Pet Shop Boys - "Please"
Bomb the Bass - "Enter the Dragon"
S'Express - "Original Soundtrack"
Enya - "Watermark"
808 State - "90"
New Order - "Technique"
Cocteau Twins - "Heaven or Las Vegas"
LFO - "Frequencies"
Nightmares on Wax - "A Word of Science"
Orbital - "Orbital"
Future Sound of London - "Accelerator"
Aphex Twin - "Selected Ambient Works 85-92"
Anne Dudley and Jaz Coleman - "Songs from the Victorious City"
Ozric Tentacles - "Jurassic Shift"
Black Dog - "Bytes"
Autechre - "Incunabula"
Boards of Canada - "Hi Scores"
Gas - "Zauberberg"
Autechre - "Confield"
The Oldfield, Tomita and Vangelis ones were owned by my parents when I
was a wee nipper, but I always found them strangely compelling and
would always sneak them on for a listen. I used to have bizarre dreams
featuring this music -- it's perhaps no surprise I'm into electronica
these days. (Still got the original vinyl to this day!)
