Thank you for your kind words.
Yes like I said, it’s not for everyone, but I like to play it in 7.4 surround sound, and the effects everywhere in the room goes like psycho mania… and that’s what I love…? :p

The pressure in the rooms atmosphere, the tight fast bass, the low frequence bass, which is always there… and the mids and highs effects that is flying between all the speakers around the room… - in my system - it’s magic!

No, I don’t change the list very often, because I love all of them… just adding one now and then…

Enjoy?!

I have to admit, I don't have much experience with this kind of music, but your playlist has piqued my interest. I'll be on the lookout for some new music being added. :)

Nice! 17kW should indeed provide some good headroom, whether you want to crank the volume up, or tear the walls down... :D I enjoy Jean-Michel Jarre myself, that's a great choice. Have you tried shifting your electronic music attention more to the east, trying out the Yellow Magic Orchestra for example? I love their energetic, creative, and playful tunes, and they sound great live as well.
Just saw on the news here…
He is gone… he died.. the guy from YMO…

What a coinsidence… never heard of this band or guy before - and would never notice when reading about his death, if you had not introdused me to the band..

Thank you.. maybe I give the band a second chance.. I also saw he had been playing as an actor with David Bowie in some film…

One always learn new stuff on this forum.

I will keep a minute of silence to honor his memory :confused: . He became 71 years old.

I was shocked to hear the news. It's a huge shame to see heroes like that pass away. If you'd like to try his music apart from YMO, then Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is a good place to begin, the entire "1996" album does invoke quite a unique feeling that not many other recordings do.

Thank you AMR,

I will certainly do so. I’ve been reading little bit about him.. not much but some… and I understand now that he was quite an artist.
Always sad when we loose those people.
May he rest in peace.
