Assorted List from the Backissues
Jimmy Edgar
is the new Wunderkind out of Detroit. The Detroit of Juan Atkins, Derrick May or Kevin Saunderson on one hand. The Detroit of Eminem or D12 on the other. His music sounds so newish, that Warp signed him three years ago.

  i-Tunes Playlist  

first record remembered
Nikki - Notice Me. This was the first one, it was really underground 80s pop. Though, Michael Jackson’s „Off the Wall“ was the first I really got into. I still do a frequent jam to it.

a song that reminds you of school
The Cure - Let’s Go to Bed. It really reminds me of highschool, for musical content, not lyrical.

a record you fell in love to
Kraftwerk - Man Machine. Love at first sight.

your ultimate heartbreak song
Mary J. Blige - Your Child. I’m a sucker for R’n’B. This songs structure and melody is amazing.

a record that evokes the greatest summer of your life
I usually try to change it up, but I can mention the „Lost Highway“ soundtrack. It’s a soundtrack to a very good David Lynch film, has some brilliant jazz tunes on it. Second choice would be anything by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult.

your boozed up anthem
Prince - Erotic City. Enough said.

a song guaranteed to make you feel depressed
A nything by Tori Amos.

the perfect anthem for Detroit
Model 500 - Nite Drive (Thru Babylon); and Posatronix - Shake It. Two fucking amazing songs.

the song played at your funeral
I will have my best friend mix some spoken word and ambient/soundscape environment sketches I did.
