On Twitter earlier tonight, Elisabeth McLaury Lewin (aka @podcastmama), Stefania Butler (aka @citymama) and I were extolling the virtues of early electronica (like Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode), ambient (Brian Eno, Klaus Schulze), and early rave music (The Orb, Orbital).
All energized from talking about some of my favorite music, I stayed up and made the Social Media Dance Mix. Every group in the mix, save Massive Attack, was mentioned in our conversation (I added Massive Attack because I needed one more song!).
Have a listen:
We all agree, music from back then was way better than what’s around now. (Of course, my parents said the same thing about their music – and they were right!)
