(fax) Ageing electronic listener

[c a]

Hello!

I'm 39. How old is Namlook?

In 1981 I read in a magazine about a band who played on Pocket Calculators. 
I then got to the record store and bought Computer World, which was my first 
synth album. Then followed Human League: Dare, Soft Cell: Non stop erotic 
cabaret and Depeche Mode: Speak and Spell. I also bought my first synth, a 
Casio VL-tone. That way I could play Get Carter form the Dare album.

Then followed Yello, Tangerine Dream, Jarre, YMO, Ultravox, John Foxx, Twice 
A Man and many more. And then EBM with Front 242 which I heard live in 1985.

Around 1992/1993 i discovered Aphex Twin, Future Sound Of London and similar 
bands, which was new and exciting in the synth department. In 1994 I heard 
some tracks by Lassigue Bendthaus, which I really liked, and when I found 
out that the man behind that was Uwe Schmidt I began collecting his works.

Around 2000 came clicks and cuts, and that interested me for a while. And a 
couple of years ago I got into Fax, after looking for some new and exciting 
electronic music. I heard some Fax releases some years ago, but didn't 
really like them, except for Atom Heart, but all of a sudden I heard some 
more Fax, and was hooked up. Fax is the latest electronic music which I 
really like.

Apart from electronic music I really like XTC, The Smiths, The Cure, Jethro 
Tull, Steely Dan and some more. And also classical music like Satie, Mahler 
and Schubert.
