OK - I'm
in.
I'll draw a distinction between music I have
enjoyed listening to and music that has influenced my guitar-playing.
Here's a selection of artists/groups whose music
has influenced or shaped my guitar playing & music making -
Kruder &
Dorfmeister /
all those
incredible recordings on the FAX label
Richard James
(under his various pseudonyms) / Orb / Orbital
Nirvana / Stereolab Gang of Four /
SWANS
Andy Summers / Police
William Ackerman / Fripp & Eno / Roy
Harper
King Crimson / Status
Quo
As I construct this list I note that I'm currently
not feeling my guitar playing is being influenced by the contemporary music of
any group or artist.

P.S. Damn, that's a collection of very WHITE
music, huh?

Subject: a fun game
I got an email from a friend the other day, out of the blue. He
wrote that he had just been thinking about all the music he loves, and his
email listed a bunch of stuff that was dear to him.
I got such a kick
out of that and found it so interesting that I thought I’d do it here on LD,
and if anyone wants to shoot back a list of some of their inspirations, it
might not only be interesting but also make a nice resource for anyone who
feels like going out and listening to something new. (Sort of like that cool
music plasma link that squidloop put up a while ago http://www.musicplasma.com/ but with
humans.)
So here are some of my great loves, in no particular order.
Some of them use looping of various sorts, some don’t, they’re all music . . .
