So quick music intro about myself:
- as a kid I played the saxophone, but my parents had Kraftwerk and Wendy Carlos records, which was a bigger influence on me
- first heard of FSOL in the mid 1990s, when as a teen I got into stuff like Prodigy, Chemical Brothers and Aphex Twin
- growing up in Germany and not connected to the electronic music scene (most of my friends are metal heads or goths), I usually only got the FSOL album CDs, was amazed when someone showed me a Lifeforms EP vinyl in Oxford back in 1995 I guess
- was never on any electronic music online boards or mailing lists
- tried to do some music with vintage synths in the early 2000s, but went on to have other hobbies.
- found out about FSOL digital around 2010
Other than FSOL, my current favorite acts are Amon Tobin, Seefeel, Aphex Twin, DJ Spooky, and Boards of Canada. Yes, growing up in Germany in the 90s and 00s and not listening to German techno was very lonely
(OK, so speaking of Germany, I do like Mouse on Mars and some Alec Empire stuff)

Having a nice manageable amount of users and a lowish per-month post count makes me less anxious when I'm not here 24/7 (especially this summer when I was away more than I was here due to various life shenanigans)
