I'm currently listening to "Oh Synthesizer" by Komputer, a great rewriting of Kraftwerk's Neon Lights

Come on people, share with the other users in here what's playing in your winamp/discman/ipod/etc. right now

Mecano, a Spanish New Wave band, the second album called "Donde esta el pais de las hadas" (1983). Good stuff so far

Secret Machines "Ten Silver Drops" - they are in the register of prog rock acts but they are very modern sounding and will crossover to indie band fans.

Grant

Tangerine Dream - Tangram. Or at least it would be if my job allowed me to play music. <img border="0" alt="[Pissed]" title="" src="graemlins/pissed.gif" /> Fortunately my low capacity organic MP3 player (or brain) allows me to listen to it anyway.

Finally got my hands on the Nation 12 reissue. It's interesting to hear how some of the tracks have been recorded again for later releases like Leaving/Through my sleeping and Invisible women

Luckily I can listen to music at work, I don't know if would have survived without it. Must be terrible being denied that right

So far today I have been listening to Mesh (We Collide) and John Foxx's new "Looped Los Angelese" track.

Yesterday I listened to Gary Numan's 'Jagged', 'Solarized' by Ian Brown and... some of my own ambient music!

I have been listening to Depeche Mode's Ultra, Black Celebration and Violator(going to see them soon) and Echo and the Bunnymen's Song to Learn and Sing.

Today I have been listening to china crisis: Flaunt The Imperfection.

my most played albums in `80 (without ultravox)

simple minds: NGD
mike oldfield: songs of the distant earth
yello: one second, stella
peter gabriel: IV
classix nouveaux: night people, la verite
tangerine dream: poland, logos
depeche mode: some great reward
propaganda: secret wish / wishful thinking

Good choices there - excellent albums!!

Just for a change my ipod as spent the week playing 60's music.
Diana ross, The temptations, The four tops etc.
Mr Bowie still got in there though.

Im going to try and not play any Ultravox or related songs for all of next week, but suspect i may not last the first day

About seven hours later, im now playing 70's music. The jacksons, pilot, elton, blondie, walker brothers, etc.
Had thoughts of playing Ultravox, but resisted so far

Gave in and played Ultravox 'hammersmith '80',
and one track by 'fatal charm' the support for that night. And some cath oceans live. The real atempt to not play Ultravox though starts monday.

You can recharge the battery's

My favourite by them, a great live set

I'm listening to Boards Of Canada, warming myself up to their new EP that will be released at the end of the month.

Recently been listening to

Orbital - The Blue Album
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
Erik Satie - Piano Works
Cocteau Twins - Lullabies To Violaine 1 and 2
Depeche Mode - Speak And Spell

Andy

Today I've been playing "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls.

I've been listening to a special rare tracks CD of John Foxx made by a good friend and at the moment I listening to some ambient music Alex made called Aura and it's very good.
Peter

This week, my in-car entertainment has been

Television - Marquee Moon
Soft Cell - The Bedsit tapes
Ian Dury - Mr Love Pants
and something by St Ettienne whose title escapes me

I listened yesterday und today to Gary Numan's compilation EXPOSURE (which will hopefully get signed wednesday by him, I think that's the reason for the space left in the upper right corner of the booklet's frontpage).
Today outside in the garden I listened to RADIOSHOW by SPLIFF and BAYREUTH 3 by JOACHIM WITT.

I´ve been listening to:

Ice Ages -some kind of Industrial.
Lars Falk
Mondsucht
Die Ärzte
John Foxx
Manowar

Aw, thanks Peter! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

Decided to not play Ultravox or any music for a week, just to see how much it really is needed.
Did look at your Dr who / digital artwork site's though Alex.

Started my week of not playing any music from any artist at all!!. There will be no hifi, mp3 player, or dvds. I wont keep posting results as its more of a private test for me, just to see how important the music is.
And anyway to keep telling people what im NOT doing, it would be as intresting as a poor man's David Blaine

I wouldn't have lasted long doing that, music is almost as important as food

Listening to Deep Dish's Global Underground set from Toronto at the moment, nice easy going music for a surprisingly warm and summery day in Norway

You could be right about not lasting long.
Im already walking around like a mad man.
This is going to be worse than i thought, and its only half a day!

Today I'm listening to Talk Talk.

Today:

Icehouse - Code Blue
Icehouse - Sidewalk

This morning I've been listening to:

Men Without Hats - Folk of the 80's part III
Martha + The Muffins - Far away in time

It just occured to me that both bands are from Canada, bit of a co-incidence. A lot of good music came from Canada at the time though, Rational Youth is another favourite of mine.

I like Rational Youth as well, been trying to get hold of a CD copy of Heredity for years.

Cold War Night Life and All Our Saturdays will have to do for now...

Today it is Thompson Twins

Have a day off today because I worked the whole last night. Yesterday I got a very large collection of the german top100 (each year) from 1977 to 1997. Today: The year 1977...
