i have to be in the proper mindset to listen to any style of music, and i listen to a lot of music. (this should be a thread). i mostly like the experiental nature of progressive (or 'prog') rock bands like king crimson, which covers a large range!
also, i like EN, clang quartet, early king's x, 70s fusion like weather report, return to forever, etc. and the list goes on.
i only hate most music in the mainstream. if it is on the radio, chances are i do not like it, though there are exceptions.
originally, i got into neubaten out of curiosity. there were some electronica bands i had listened to for years. (electronica should not even be considered a genre, as it covers industrial as we know it today, ambient, dub, trip-hop, techno...). so, i wanted to hear this band who supposedly started the whole industrial genre. of course, EN sound NOTHING like ministry, nin, skinny puppy, circle of dust, etc.
i must say, after hearing EN, my music and songwriting have changed and progressed into a more experimental nature.
also, i think this is a reason for me getting into circuit bending too. i love experimental music, now i am creating experimental instruments to perform it!
