What are you listening to in 2021 and why might anyone be interested

I grew up listening to electronic music, courtesy of my Dad’s love of Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, Jean-Michele-Jarre, Vangellis, Tangerine Dream (loved being reminded of them by a few posts on here recently!). And though my tastes have broadened massively through my life, I know where my roots are :slight_smile:

Faithless sounding great through my Mojo/Shure SRH1540s. Probably for the best that I’m listening through headphones :wink:
