Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

Legowelt – Klaus Kinski EP
I downloaded this off of my friend Pepe’s iTunes on the shared network at Hampshire College in 2002. I owe a lot to Pepe, whose computer was my techno education. I couldn’t believe Legowelt, I was like "Wow, sequencers…", which got me thinking about my Juno-60 getting sync for the first time. I ended up getting an MSQ 60 and then an MSQ 700 off of Ebay (another practice which at the time must have seemed pretty severe, the mysterious gear splurge). ‘Behind The Forest’ was my jam, and was a direct influence on ‘Behind The Bank’ [Betrayed in the Octagon, 2007]. Perverted action/adventure throwback drool that inspired me a lot.

Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Lord Spikeheart, Tom Ravenscroft
