New Order, Joy Division, Trip hop stuff, The Stooges, QOTSA, Jeff Mills, DRUM AND BASS (you know that shit that sounds like you're being chased by a killer robot through a tunnel while high on acid and huffing nitrous?) Anything interesting and well thought out in any genre. I'm also a huge fan of the music that's all around us all the time, like nature, or the sounds of industry, like listening to the rhythms of car tires while riding my bike down a busy street, or Laying in a field and hearing the cacophonous polyphony of birds and bugs and wind and rain.
