Influences: Ooooh, this could take a while! I have an excessively wide musical taste, from Metal to Morris tunes, Madrigals to Miles Davis, Punk to Funk, Blues to Bluegrass, Mali to Bali, Baroque and Romantic composers...... I don't get on too well with the commercial end of hip hop (although some of the underground stuff can be interesting) or modern minimalist composers (Schoenberg. Eh?),and Andrew Lloyd Webber really leaves me very cold indeed (what a pompous t**t!), but other than that i'll listen to it and thus it probably influenced me along the line somewhere.....
Type of Label: None
