Songs That Inspire Us

I burned a cd for my car the other day of songs that I truly relished and thought I would ask others here some songs that perhaps give you composing inspiration or just move you in general.

Genre does not matter. Just post anything you like.

Here are some examples of mine -

Aphex Twin - Melodies from Mars - song - track 11

Aphex Twin - I care because you do - song - Alberto Balsalm

Aphex Twin - " " - song - Next heap with

Panacea - Tron

Gary Jules - Mad world (from Donnie Darko soundtrack)

gza/genius - killah hills 10304 (or almost all songs from the liquid swords lp)
ghostface killah - marvel
company flow - the whole funcrusher LP

almost oldschool hiphop. but still really cool to remember where i actually started to understand making beats.

squarepusher - steinbolt
beefcake - nearly all tracks
lots of tracks from m3rck records, they have an online radio on their site http://www.m3rck.net/

hjalemaa!

Well if I go back to when I first started playing about with sound using octamed on the amiga then my influences are fairly clear. Mostly:

Decoder
Tech Itch (pre Penetration label)
Panacea
Current Value
The Orb
Future Sound of London

Then there were many years of me not touching a thing.

One of the main tracks that has influenced me since is Venetian Snares - Einstein Rosen-Bridge. Don’t know why, it’s just one of the first tunes with an odd time signature that just makes me wanna dance.

Then of course loads of people like 0=0, belladonnaskills, bong-ra and stuff like Chevron and Flahbulb make me want to get a little less dirty and more electronic style.

Too many good artists out there to only name a few. Especially when I can’t deny inflences of people like Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix and the list goes on and on. But doing purely electronic music these people are obviously a little more distanced withhin my actual work.

Aphex Twin - Vordhosbn

:yeah:

Many things really, but currently:

third track on Bogdan Raczynski’s Boku Mo Wakaran,

The Trees by Autechre

The Message by Grandmaster Flash
