> Didn't have much interest in music until I was 14, when I was

> Death, Entombed........and unless you count Punk and Hardcore, I didn't

> In about '91 I got bored with the scene, and Music became a much
> less important part of my life. I moved along in a kind of musicoma till
> around 95-96 when I heard Depth Charge, Future Sound of London, Chemical
> Brothers among others, and was momentarily roused from my slumber. As most
> of the Albums didn't do it for me and at the time I had no way of breaking
> into the underground or less commercial scenes, I became disinterested and
> unadventurous when it came to electronic tunes. And drifted into Acid
> Jazz, loved most of what I heard (which wasn't much, as I had gotten into
> the habit of not buying or even checking out sounds), and over the next 3
> years I slowly drifted along getting into Parliafunkadelicment, Ronny
> Jordan, and one man in particular; Curtis Mayfield, how I didn't rush out
> and get his back catalogue straight away, I'll never know, but, along I

> groove back, kind a thing, I just started buying records again, actually,
> more than when I was a no good snot nosed metal head. In fact more in the
> last year then in the previous 8 combined) when my water finally broke,
> and I gave birth to a healthy enthusiasm for the music we all know and
> love. As others have said, this list has been a god send, and without it
> my musical scope would be that much poorer. So thanks to all the peeps
