Very much so! I created a gorgeous 24x24 art print mapping his discography which is framed proudly on my wall.

Still love to get a deck of Oblique Strategies, though!

Ever try a genre for the first time, and not be into it, but you can completely understand the first albumk you play?

What does understanding have to do with anything?

I understood immediately what was enjoyable about microhouse, even though this is the first time I've ever heard it. I just took what I already knew about common electronic constructional techniques and themes, and applied it to microhouse. It didn't even take much of a thought process. It was immediate second nature doing so. And thanks to that, I know have a whole new electronic realm I'm happy to get into.

I mean, if you don't try to understand a genre, there's the risk of never getting into it. Not saying this happens every time, but even in my noobish experience I've seen it happen to multiple people. Heck, it's the "transcendence of music" topic.
