Oh, and I hope no one gets upset that I posted a reply to this thread even though it probably ought to be in the junk drawer... Hee Hee

The main source for the sonic background in my flat comes from the TV set.
Beside that, I like to listen to music from bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus, Alien Sex Fiend, Sisters Of Mercy, Misfits, etc.
Wave and Post Punk stuff in general.
I prefer the more bizarre, dark and depressive sound.
I think, I like it when it supports my emotions,
while opening another kit from another until then unknown East Siberian manufacturer for the first time, who released the 293th sub variant of a T- 62 or T- 64 which I needed too...

Well, crap. I already have all of my favorite videos down in the modelling bunker. Now I am going to have to start moving CDs down there too. Reading the thread I remembered music I love from Iron Maiden to Dire Staits to Motorhead. Anyway, just another good thread that helped me think about modelling. Thanks.
