Which track has inspired you to listen to electronic music?

Adam Beyer lured me into techno but Tube Jerk stole my soul with Eight. Which I just got yesterday on vinyl.

I think the synth pop basis to so many songs of the 80s could certainly be the first electronic influence for many people. I had put Human League, Soft Cell, Ultravox, Gary Numan or whoever in the same bracket as Kraftwerk even though in later times I found out it was more correct for people to namecheck Kraftwerk head and shoulders above everyone else. For me the others had more songs that I liked though :clap: That said, the only Kraftwerk song I ever really remember from back then was "The Model".

Being an old get of 35 I'd say one of the first electronic tracks I remember hearing & liking must've been The Tornado's with Telstar obviously though a few years after it came out! Then I fell in love with all the 80s new wave stuff as a pre-teenager and the rest is history!

Yeah it is. If I could get in a time machine I'd go back to 1978 and see them play :love: Would probably pop by to a Gary Numan concert too ;)

Yeah, that's good, their big hit I think... an instant favourite of mine was "Shrivel Up", something really cool about that, haven't felt a connection with a piece of music like that in ages. It actually came into a dream of mine one night and woke me up it had made such an mark.

A bit of Devo trivia... the main opening hook in Layo & Bushwacka's dance smash "Love Story" is taken directly from Devo's "Mongroloid".. they also sampled Beefheart and Nina Simone in that!

poing!!!

and some hardcore track with a japanese girl singing on it

**dan the acid man** · 03-09-2005, 01:08 AM

listening to jean michelle jarre's london docklands concert on radio 1 was quite influential for me too

**iffi** · 03-09-2005, 01:42 AM

Kraftwerk,The KLF,early Tangerine Dream,early Pink Floyd,Stockhausen (not too much) and probably more if my memory still worked ;)

**MITA** · 03-09-2005, 02:12 PM

cannot say that a single track has turned me into techno.
started with jarre productrions,kraftwerk,then technotronic,,
after that some deep trance shite,then the prodigy,and after that mills
after that some psytrance..
well, that was my way to the tech scene.

**Mindful** · 03-09-2005, 02:26 PM

For me I remember when house became popular over here and there was all that hip house shit and I started listening to some acid house tapes my mate got hold of.
But realy started getting in to it proper via 808 state and the show they used to have on sunset 102 on the radio
