For me music is literally the soundtrack to life. The pieces that hit me like a ton of bricks and hook me forever always instantly take me back to when I first heard them or had a memorable experience such as when I first heard Mazzy Star - Fade Into You in the flagship Tower Records in NYC (sadly no longer exists) when it first came out or when I saw Trentemoller play live solo on the xylophone Miss You at The Ogden in Denver or when for the very first time ever I heard Jeff Beck play Cause We Ended As Lovers. I wanted to drop on my knees like I saw god standing in front of me. That was incredibly the first time I had ever heard that song. All I can say is wow. Speaking of which, just the mention of Moby by me yesterday brought me back to him. I find his ambient and his club/rock powerful. His cut Harbour with Sinead O’Connor on 18 & 18 B-sides blows me away every time I hear it and the engineering is excellent. She is such a talented person with a tortured soul. I could keep typing for hours, but there’s what is front of mind for me at this moment.
