Play and Repeat

Wow, this explains soo much!

Karl Hyde (Underworld) - music he listens to over and over again:

2001: A Space Odyssey: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1968 LP)
When I was 11 I locked myself in a wardrobe for two weeks with a record player and the soundtrack to 2001. I took dad's torch to be alone reliving the sensations I'd experienced in the Kidderminster Odeon. It was György Ligeti's work that I felt instant empathy with. It gave me my first insight into the beauty concealed in the union of discordant harmonies. Images of virtual spaces and conceptual rooms floated through my 11-year-old head, rewiring a provincial imagination. The road to a life beyond Worcestershire slowly opened. Thirty-eight years later, working on the score to Danny Boyle's Sunshine, I was shaking, excited, eager to reignite a memory. It felt like coming home, drawing on the experience of that first encounter with a soundtrack that altered the entire course of my life.
