i am really curious to know how all of you idm'ers arrived at dance music- if
we have the same influences and roots... i think it will definitely aid to
everyone's understanding of where everyone is coming from and why we see
things differently in music (among other reasons- but this is a start).
this topic interests me also.. the first band i really really liked
was talking heads. then i moved on to pink floyd, some of which may
qualify as ambient.. then through dance music and technopop, i liked
DEVO a lot.. I bought the KLF's "White Room" as soon as i saw the
video for 3 AM Eternal on MTV.. Then i got into industrial through
(the shame) Nine Inch Nails.. I started watching MTV's 120 Minutes,
which led me to buy Meat Beat Manifesto, Nitzer Ebb, etc. A British
friend at a camp where I worked one summer told me to buy something by
the Orb, and i got u.f.orb. this led to my orb obsession. :) then
i met a friend who dj's and his recommendations led me to Warp
Records, and i haven't looked back. This mailing list and Select! Magazine
are probably the two places i find put about stuff i think i might like.
Now you know.
