Here we have quite an eclectic bunch! Common to all, regardless of how they may be categorised is an unusual approach to music making
These albums helped paved the way for the less challenging electronic music that was to come and yes I have sneaked one in from the 60's! but I thought it needed including
There's some classic stuff here too, many of which still sound as fresh as the day they were released
Top 3, probably 'Aqua', 'Rainbow Dome Music' and 'Music for 18 Musicians'. The latter being especially important to me as it has been said it inspired 'Love on a Real Train' by 'Tangerine Dream'
