The ones with the cryptic/abstract/daft titles are from the instrumental electronica/IDM genre, to which I became quite addicted while doing my dissertation, as I found it perfect to think/write to. Also good for the ongoing need to soothe homicidal urges on public transport.
Cardiacs are without a shadow of a doubt one of the bands ever. Ditto Sidi Bou Said, rock-family-tree connections not entirely coincidental.
The Genesis track, please note, is from the Peter Gabriel-era Selling England By The Pound when Genesis were wonderful - before that appalling cockney chimp was allowed out from behind his drumkit.
Deep Blue is for audio-perving
the divine Mira Aroyo and is the most-played track on my beast.
