Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

Earth – Earth 2

I heard this when I went to university in Brighton where I was studying music and visual art. I vividly remember finding this record in my second year, and it resonated with loads of things that I was studying to do with my degree like Steve Reich and La Monte Young. Ever since I first started pissing about making electronic music when I was 15, even at that point I was really, really interested in the bass sounds, so fast forward a few years and then I realised that this epitomised that end of electronic music that I was looking at, and also the repetitive nature of La Monte Young and Terry Riley. It was this amazing marriage of things that I would never have thought of putting together.
