Im a big faithless fan ive got all their albums and have seen them live and plan to do so agian this year.
I like Moby's old skool stuff, but im not to fond of most of his newer stuff.
I saw clock do a live PA once in my local club thankfully it ended quickly.
Should also add that my day used to hand pick Beatles tracks for me to listen to. So are comedy gold like Bungalow Bill Still listen to them today some 15 or so years later
No comment on 2 unlimited except ****

let me paint you a general picture of my evolution through electronic music (all other music disregarded, such as metal and oi!):
- it started when I was a wee lad in the 90's and my little ears got bombarded with eurodance beats and videogame soundtracks. The love has never faded since:)
- around the age of ten I first heard of the existance of harder music than house and techno and a friend at skool gave me a tape he had from his brother... a tape labeled "Thunderdome"... on my 11th birthday I had already aquired my first Thunderdome album and this was where I became a gabber.
- In the years that followed I had a rather strict view on music. little could catch my fancy if it wasn't oldskool eurodance or hardcore. during the years after my first steps into the wonderful world of oldskool gabber I got to know happy hardcore and it grew on me after a while (innitialy I didn't really think much of it).
- in electronic music my music taste remained quite exclusively hardcore until a few years back. The gabberscene as i knew it was deteriorating, the emphasis on overdistortion and the "I wanna be the hardest" attitude of both fans and producers was causing the releases to loose their party attitude and try to be harder and more distorted which in turn made the tracks come over as uninspired and bland (save a few ppl who still brought class act tunes). Because of this I opened up more to other music styles like breakcore and drum & bass.
- after a short period after I had discovered Breakcore I also stumbled into the styles related to the cyber and rivethead scene. These are the styles that currently dominate my playlists: EBM, Aggrotech, Darkwave, Powernoize, Industrial, Industrial rock, Futurepop, Synthpop
that about sums it up in a simplified manner :)

Aye, couldn't agree more, nothing beats waking up to a bit of CombiChrist in the morning!

I started off as a metalhead as a wee laddie with System of a Down, Metallica etc.
One day I heard Sandstorm and I thought it was the most awesomest thing ever. My cousin also introduced me to Robert Miles n stuff. So I started listening to trance/hard trance in about 99.
Listened to trance for awhile but got back into metal and especially rammstein.
I had quite a collection of hard dance but I wanted something harder. Found DI and found this site and started listening to hardcore in about 2003. Was a huge evolution fan back then.
I started to itch for something different after 2 years of raverbaby, evo, and quosh so I started listening to NEC/FiNRG stuff and what little came out of Camel ( I miss Oli G =[ )
Nowadays I listen to a lot of chillout, lounge, hard dance and a crapton of makina. Not really into the UK stuff right now ( though I do enjoy the odd track ). I drop by Haston's site bunch :D. I would listen to freeform but I haven't bothered to look for anything. Anyone know how the finnish producers are doing ? Dropping by the NEC after I post this.

hahaha can picture it now, Dj Knightmare takes you through to the terrifying depths of destruction, full on audio terrorism so hard it'll makie your ears bleed. Get ready for the eurodance 
Anyway i also started off listenin to cheesy shit on the radio, then about 12 got into the scottish "rave" acts like ultrasonic, rhythmic state etc.
From there got loadsa rez tapes and loved it all from the tom wilson cheese to lenny dee hardcore techno.
Went on til about 99 then went right into trance/hard trance. Old tapes jus gathered dust and i didnt hear any new hardcore i liked, all seemed weak, cheesy and shit.
So aye kept with trance/hard trance til about 2001 when i first got into makina. My mates dad ran a studio and a guy came in with a cd Scorpia "2 da future" he was wantin to get released in britain. Blew me away full on 3 deck madness with constant mixin between cheese, acid synths, cheesy nu style loved it. At time didnt think hardcore was still been made and it sounded futuristic and bouncy as you like.
Kept gettin any cd's i could whenever i was abroad so listened to them and was still big into my trance and that aswell.
2002 a couple things happened to change my music taste again, one bein oldschool raves started happenin in glasgow and i got a pc with internet. Oldschool raves got me back into hardcore like bouncy techno/gabber and internet meant i could get loads more spanish sets. Started gettin bored of trance and listened to more faster music.
Dunno if it woulda been 02 or 03 but first uk hardcore i liked was Scott Browns bonkers cd with "like an angel", "definition of a badboy", "neckbreaker", turn up the music" and all that stuff. Still think he was amazin back then.
Anyway 2003 i got decks and started goin to raves in england like Magna which had hardcore rooms and by end of year had moved down south. Got into dnb also this year.
2004 still mainly uk hardcore was at sanctuary all time, made a wkd group of new mates and jus ravin as much as possible. Music seemed interestin to me still and new styles were happenin all the time. After Drokz set at uproar in sanc i realised how much i loved hardcore techno/speedcore and started gettin more into that.
2005 started gettin bored of uk hardcore and more into the bangin stuff and thats kinda way its gone from there. Also been much more into other styles of music not dance related.
So in total my music tastes got a lot better i think, more varied and less cheesy pish
