20 albums that greatly influenced you.

@0mnishambles Curiously The Residents album I come back to the most. Good choice.
-
@emsquared Dated in that it represents a fluorescent, naïvely cosmopolitan version of the ‘80s for which I still feel some nostalgia.
I grew up with Jarre’s music, but don’t really listen to it these days, other than this album occasionally. Happy to receive recommendations esp. for later stuff.

@0mnishambles I know what you mean. The video for Zoolookologie screams mid 80s in fashion, design, colours, attitude & aesthetic. I'm very much for the first half of the 80s than the second half music wise. I probably do subscribe to the notion that Live aid is the point that pop music co-opted the mainstream and then became part of it and inevitably more heavily commodified (oooh er bit heavy). I still try to listen to whatever the annoyingly youthful looking Jarre puts out.

@0mnishambles Oooh.Good choice.
-
@0mnishambles @emsquared The 2nd Oxygen album is a decent continuation. But Jarre has always walked a fine line between sublime and kitsch.
-
@jakobw @0mnishambles I like a bit of Kitsch though like Oldfield's Tubular Bells you do begin to wonder how often you can keep using a former glory as yet another album template.

@emsquared @jakobw @0mnishambles
Maybe it takes a few goes to get it right. I listened to the original TB a few years ago, and was kinda shocked at how obvious and clunky the edits were, now that I was older and perhaps more familiar with recording techniques and the flow of playing. -
@blurk @jakobw @0mnishambles oh I get wanting to revisit things and redo things with more experience and technology. I guess TB stand up to revisiting more than most.
