hmm, i wonder what mailing list you found that on. however, my birthday is tomorrow, june 27. yes, i will be 30. yes, everything they say about turning 30 is true. argh. thanks for the kind thoughts anyway. first records: the first one i really remember going nuts about as a kid was Frank Zappa's "Zappa Mothers Roxy & Elsewhere". my cousin left it at our house and i just played the hell out of it. never mind that i had no clue what a "penguin in bondage" was or that i had no idea what "i am not a crook" referred to. i was only 8 years old. i think everybody should get exposed to zappa at age 8. as for electronics, i was listening to jarre and tangerine dream and walter carlos when i was around 12 or so. loved that stuff. i always loved electronic sounds. i remember playing the electronic part of the close encounters soundtrack (when the mothership is communicating with the humans) over and over again. first roots-of-idm album i got was "who's afraid of the art of noise" (high five to adam w.). that was one of those experiences where you just go "what the fuck" and the world is never the same again. i think the next band that really did that to me was skinny puppy in the late 80's. the whole industrial scene got me interested in a number of noteworthy proto-idm-type acts: meat beat, tackhead, severed heads. from there it was a hop skip and a jump to acid house (bomb the bass, sexpress), new beat (anybody remember THAT?), early rave techno (t-99, altern-8, other bands with hyphenated numbers in their names), and so forth. now i'll listen to just about anything that doesn't have a human drummer involved. -- Jon Drukman jsd@gamespot.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Plan: Eat right, exercise regularly, die anyway.
