Pre-teen. Opening track on a mix tape of electro-80s pop made by my older brother. Alien sounds to an 11 year old’s ears. I doubt I’d listen to any of it today, but it was the first time I became aware that music was more than what my violin teacher made me play.
13-15 years old. AC/DC was always “my” band and Iron Maiden was always “my brother’s”, and because of that, I would have to pick this over Live After Death. Both aural and emotional releases to a new-teen.

16-18 years old. This album bridged the Thrash and Death Metal periods. I read the review in Kerrang! and bought the album off the back of that. Nothing prepared me for vocals like this and it opened a new world to Obituary, Deicide, Napalm Death…

19 years old. My dad had left on my bed three albums: this, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. “I may not like the music you listen to, but I can tell they’re good guitarists. The blues is where it began.” And so also began my love-affair with everything the blues for decades to come.
20-24 years old. The blues led to 60s & 70s rock. As a student, buying albums was a luxury and this collection gave me everything from rockers to ballads to country and blues. All there.

25-28 years old. Some random jazz album borrowed from the local library started me on the jazz road. And a long road it’s been. This phase was hard bop, from mid 50s to mid 60s.
29-36 years old. From hard bop came free jazz of the 60s and on into the 90s and 00s. David S Ware, Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor…too many to choose from, yet William Parker as been ever-present for me.
8. NEW
37 years old. Somewhere along the decade and a half of no-vocal music, I discovered classical, both western (Shostakovich, Webern, Bartok) and Indian (Vilayat Khan, L. Subramaniam).
38 years old. Evan Parker’s atonal and experimental-side within the jazz world brought me back to 90s IDM and then to anything electronic. Quantised beats and repetitive sheets. All the while, Autechre take the crown.
10. NEW
39-41 years old. This phase was everything from psychedelic (Acid Mothers Temple) to noise rock (Magik Markers) to doom (Indian). It made me want to play guitar again. Loudly.
