Re: (amb) What other music do you listen to?
Thought I would weigh in here - apologies for being a tad late.Outside of ambient (which on its own is a very high percentage ofmy listening experiences) I was brought up on Jazz and 99 % of that is on vinyl. Recently I had my record player revamped to meet theUS standards so after ten years of no player I am happily spinning discs. Perhaps the most exciting part of this is the richness of the sound despite the inevitable scratches. Listening to CD's and digital music has clearly dulled my overall listening experience.So Mingus, Coleman, Pepper, Hawkins, Webster, Baker et al are all being brought back to "larger" than life.Other than that, a little Mouse of Mars, Pole and other related electronica, some post punk (Magazine, Joy Div, 23 skidoo etc) andevery Robert Wyatt release there has ever been - what a genius, not forgetting Paul Weller bringing up the rear.Cheers, > I thought it would be interesting to hear what else people on this List listen to, and how many people stick mostly to ambient and closely Related genres. And also, for fun, any types of music you absolutely wouldNot listen
to...
