oh yeah! btw, if anyone out there is interested, there is a mailing list set up specifically for discussing all that great early 80's music. the address is perfect-beat@gnu.ai.mit.edu and it's pretty dead right now, so you should all join and shake it up. as a weird side note, there's a really nice person who hangs out in the rave scene around here... we started talking one day and i discovered that her dad was the lead singer for naked eyes! wow...

The three most formative records of my childhood (6-12) were: The Monkeys: "The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees" (during their pseudo- psychedelic mood - I won this in a 2nd grade spelling bee) Various: "Dynomite" (an awesome compilation with Kool & The Gang 'Hollywood Swingin' and William De Vaughan 'Be Thankful for What You Got.') Gary Numan: "The Pleasure Principle" (This was the first record I ever bought with my own youthful money... I hated electric guitars ever since :) I was also a roller disco queen, so I love alot of disco which I now own, but at that time I would only hear it at the rink. Ages 13-17 I bought anything in the $0.99 bin that had no guitars in the instrument listing. This ended up being Yellow Magic Orchestra and related solo stuff, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, early OMD. Well, okay, I allowed DEVO to play guitar ;) Oh yeah, remember 1981 when strictly synth bands ruled the US charts?! Naked Eyes, Soft Cell, Human League, Visage... Ages 18-20 I became a semi-completist on the age 13-17 stuff. I also got heavy into industrial (noise based - *not* dance industrial) like Lustmord, early Laibach, early SPK, etc. That was also when Private Music came about, so I was getting alot of their piano solo albums (pretty new-agey) for $1 on the streets! Ah yes, I discovered After Dinner, too!!! Ages 20-25 it's been Chicago Acid to New York House (anything on the deep and/or jazzy side) to London House to ambient... DJ-ing strictly disco & deep house for a few years, while keeping the above listed stuff 'private'. Who'd a thunk I could play it all in one club?! Thanks, ambient!
