I'm a huge fan of electronic music but besides that i'm also interested in all kinds of other music, no mainstream do, what do you all think about that here on Twoism are you all only electronic or openminded for other musicstyles? :wink:

Electronic/ idm is probably my favorite genre, but I also love trip-hop, indie rock, hip hop, alternative, punk, etc. Pretty much anything but country. I consider myself very open minded when it comes to music.

I don't like opera.

but I do like.. that kind of evil church music that some metal bands steal extracts from.


also, the main genre of music I hate is

throwaway rnb / pop / rap. ( I mean the type of music you hear on commercial radios and on top of the pops kind of channels)

it annoys me so much that people actually listen to that rubbish

yep your right about that, the today rnb is not rnb at all, and top of the pops is idd rubbish, it used 2 be different but that's a long time ago, i have a show on the only non-commercial radio in Belgium Europe, on nov.1ste we exist 25 years, Radio Centraal 106.7FM,the first record we played on 8am nov.1ste 1980 was:Back To Nature from Fad Gadget a real classic, new wave. :D

Sorry I'm late, but good lord what a loaded question. I probably could write several pages on my supposed open-mindedness on music, but I'll try to keep it short. My taste in music likely reflects some sort of multiple-personalities disorder that I probably have. A lot of it depends on my mood at the time. On the other hand, I've become a bit of a Warp whore at the moment, so maybe I'm shifting a bit. Either way, Boards of Canada is the undisputed champion on my list.

What kind of music i play always depends what mood i'm in, you say you are a bit of a Warp whore atm? Does that mean the Warp of today or also the early Warp 1989 until now :?:

I think that what I like to listen to boils down to the cream of the crop in any genre save country and opera. For example I don't like rap but I'll listen to Eminem because of his musical talent.

I mainly listen to jazz, european classical, indian classical, other 'world' music, lots of produced electronic, and the Grateful Dead.

Well, I started with Aphex in '99, then moved on to Squarepusher. But it wasn't until I got into BoC that I got hooked and decided to check out the rest of the catalogue. Now I'm into Autechre, Broadcast, Plaid, Chris Clark, Prefuse, Vibert, etc. Lately I've begun to finally branch out a bit, looking at Rephlex, Skam, and now delving further underground. As far as the early stuff, I guess I need to check out that Warp10 Classics album because I'm not too familiar with the older stuff beyond a few LFO and B12 tracks.

Well you should go beyond Warp10 Classics because there's alot for you about the Warp label to discover!
