and yeah the mainstream electronica stuff of the 90s was really good at the time. turned me onto all the good electro stuff i would have continued ignoring for years under the misguided impression it was just crappy house mixes.

Oh trust me, I know all about the thirties kicking my butt right now... I am happy with my life now though, very happy, just acutely aware I'm not the blindly youthful and idealistic 20 something I was once...

I can't bear to listen to fatboy slim or the chem. bros anymore, but me getting into them has ramifications for my current taste in music as well.... without those big mainstream acts I might not have discovered Boards of Canada and the like, and my musical taste might have been all the poorer for it...
