See, I know I have a problem, because I haven't heard of either of those artists and now I really have an urge to go and check them out... Make a long list of stuff to check out and then try one or two artists a month. If you're doing it slowly you'll have less time for ok/average music, I find. Ye...

Yeah, working really gets in the way of listening to music!

My main problem is that I never feel like I can go back and listen to old stuff, as I constantly have new albums coming in that I want to give a fair listen to. I'm still hoping I'll "catch up" one day, not have a pile of unplayed CDs and then I can get back to listening to what I want, w...

Yeah, Crooked Timber was great. Their last one, A Brief Crack of Light was really cool too. Only one I wasn't totally keen on was Never Apologise, Never Explain. The Cure are one of my favourites too, how could I forget them! Still waiting for the Wish re-issue and for them to release the album wort...

Having 2,000 plus records meant I was constantly worrying that I wasn't giving them all a fair listen, so I had music on at every available moment, which ended up with regular burnout moments when I couldn't listen to anything. So I got rid of everything but the records I love the most, and I don't...

So what are some of the other bands/artists you listen to, Ross?

The reason I ask, I suppose, is that 'electronica' probably only counts for a third of my collection, so I'm always curious as to what others listening to - especially as a lot of people seem to fall largely on one side or the other of the electronic/rock line. Therapy? Always good to see them turn...

my pile of unlistened-to CDs, which sadly seems to keep growing. DOOD i mean really.....you make me feel like i have multiple personalities when i read this! now i need to check with my wife to make sure i was in fact in bed sleeping when your post was created. if she says no....it's off to the doc...

What kind of stuff are you into other than electronic stuff, epitome? Like I say, I used to mostly listen to rock music - and that's almost any kind you can think of except maybe not the Cookie Monster vocal black metal stuff. Here's a few non-electronica bands I like, to give you an idea: Green Da...

I really liked Metallic Spheres - that was actually the first one I got and listened to. Kinda had a feeling of Porcupine Tree's Voyage 34. Oh, and on the subject of depression/anxiety and material possessions - I can totally understand that. Sometimes I think I would actually be a lot more relaxed ...

Dennis wrote:@epitome: you def have to get "Orbus Terrarum" & "Orblivion", this was Orb at their best imo.

Got both of those, patiently sitting in my pile of unlistened-to CDs, which sadly seems to keep growing.

haha awesome...i envy your ride :) ozric....i mean no doubt there is a slight level of "sameness" but i would actually just call that their signature sound/brand of psychedelia. it's like heavy arabesque pysch or something ;) also....i think if you give them a more in depth chance you'll ...

Fair point, but I'll keep my fingers crossed
