Every period has it's charming thing. The 70ties albums ( i especcialy like Encore ) have that rough analog thing. I myself started up producing music in the 80ties with analog equipment .. The modulair synths of the 70ties and there typical sounds enchanted me. I started with a JUNO-60 roland synth.
The 80ties were a period ( TD ) which I more appreciate. It is more my sound. I Like hyperborea, underwater sunlight, Logos also a lot. But most of all I get high of this end 80ties begin 90ties sounds. I of course bought the works after 1995, but it was remarkable to me that there came more and more albums ( also compilations of course ) .. I am very influenced by TD but my all time favourites will stay Optical Race, Lilly on the beach and Melrose. Of course this is an emotional psychological phenomena.
Nowadays I produce dancemusic in Holland which can be related to pop music. But in my freetime I listen a lot of streams with electronic music like TD and stuff. As a Trance deejay and arranger to me it has always been an influence since I was 8 years young ( 1980 ). It started out with Jean michel jarre and so on.. Well known stories of people who's interest is in Electronic music ..
