10 Record Challenge! (Pt. 2)

6/10: My 1st fusion album. Was huge Zep fan. Older step-brother mentioned Beck. Raided his LPs when he was away. Just found out this was #Top10Album in 1974! #Listen2TheElders #InfluentialAlbums #JeffBeck

7/10: Music bible 7 volumes deep. #AcidJazz #TripHop #JazzHop #UkSoul #DnB #Dub #RareGroove #BrokenBeat #Techno #DeepHouse #WorldMusic #GlobalBeats my interest either started or deepened due to these #Compilations #InfluentialAlbums

8/10: More elder pilferage. 1st exposure to #JacoPastorius & #WayneShorter (no idea he’d been legend since 60s.) #JoeZawinul‘s use of #Rhodes #Arp2600 + #Oberheim still amazes me. #JazzFusion #InfluentialAlbums #WeatherReport

9/10: Started w #Autobahn, but this always meant more. Saw 81 USA tour, remember #PocketCalculator on radio. Thought #PlanetRock was remix of Numbers. Remixed @MatadorSoul #MatadorSoulSounds cover of Computer Love last year. #RipFlorianSchneider #InfluentialAlbums #Kraftwerk


10/10: 2fer! Can’t separate – #BrianEno & #DavidByrne on both & released months apart. Unwitting intro to #KingSunnyAde (thanks Lorin Roser!) Always loved the way “Help Me Somebody” revealed musicality of black preachers. #InfluentialAlbums #TalkingHeads
