    I found this rather interesting as I too grew up on indie rock and
    "alternative music."
    I am curious how many others on this list are the same. I still listen to it
    as well as the music discussed here. I am currently reading the bio of
    Creation Records (I collected them as a teenager) which documents a period
    of time (1988-1990) when those who listened to 60s garage, punk, new wave
    gravitated and opened their minds to dance music. Some would argue that it
    was really just the ecstasy working, nonetheless I believe this was and is a
    very important time in the development of genres of dance. Some of the acid
    jazz purists would argue, "No man it was only blue note and r n b that got
    me." Ok then you are cool.
    What is so fabulous is that these folks in Britain for example, long known
    for melodies, guitars, pop were fascinated by these American house records
    and then interpreted them in their own way and helped launch probably the
    most fruitful dance scene in the world.
    Hey as much as I enjoy the records on Compost and other labels mentioned here
    one of my favorite all time bands is the Tindersticks and the one man MOMUS.
