Matt's recent Playlists

[keyboardistmatt]

Last night, I had a big 'DJ' -esque session at home, where I just played random tracks... I do this alot...
I have this thing where I play something, and then think "I know what would sound good right now...", I don't know what interest this may have to anybody, I just thought it would be 'interesting' or 'fun' to put it here!

So, here's what I played:

[keyboardistmatt]

...And then I had another DJ-esque session this weekend, what with the heatwave and all.  A few bevvies went down with this as well, as I don't have a garden to do a BBQ in!  Same principle as before: I played a track and thought "I know what I want to hear now..."

[Peter]

You're clearly a child of the 80s...., just like I am...

[keyboardistmatt]

I love the 80's!   I believe that a fair percentage of the sound of my own music is influenced by the 80s.

I was born in 1983, so I was at a very impressionable age back then.  In my opinion, it was a great decade for the development of music technology; Samplers, Synthesizers, etc...

Synths like the Roland Jupiter 8, Juno 106, (Clive has one of these! ), and the Synclavier. (I would love to play one of those)!

And the music in general was pretty good as well... 

[keyboardistmatt]

And the music in general was pretty good as well...

Especially the Synthy Stuff... Not the beepy Synth stuff though... although, Kraftwerk were/are good...

[Peter]

I was pretty much into Human League, Heaven 17, Talk Talk, Simple Minds (remember: Real to real cacophony, echo echo endlessly...hehe), Tears for Fears and so, also Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw, they were all heros to me. When I was sad (which happened quite often when I was a teenager) I listened to the spacy stuff, like JM Jarre, Klaus Schulze/ Tangerine Dream.

And above all: Marillion. I still have a pseudo silk scarf with the band name on it from the Clutching tour somewhere...

Cool!

[Appelmoes??]

Those collector-item-things are sooo cool to have. I got a 1969 vinyl, never played, single from The Golden Earrings. It's 10 years older than I

But back on topic Very nice list's Matt! (Can't this forum get a streaming radio with Matt as DJ? )

I was borni in 82 so as you said i'm child of the 80's too, lots of people always tell me i'm lost in space that we suposed to like 90's stuff (grunge, metal) but hell no!

Good to see lacuna coil, queen, pink floyd, rick wakeman and rammstein in there. No lordi though. You should check through your collection and see if you have any lordi albums. If not a advise going out to buy one. Personal favorites would have to be blood red sandman and devil is a loser.
