Classical, some Jazz, Indian classical, throat singing (Tuva, Mongolia, Tibet), a bit of old Soul (1960s/70s), some classic rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush), some old gothic (Bauhaus especially), some Swedish folk music (Trollrike Spelmän)... quite a bit of non-electronic music actually.

hell yeah, old-school postpunk/goth is one of my favorite styles. especially the chameleons, the cure, echo & the bunnymen, the comsat angels, sad lovers & giants and some others. never liked bauhaus much, strangely. i do like peter murphy solo, though.

it’s almost all shpongle/hallucinogen/younger brother for me at this point, but when it isn’t, it’s:
newly, ott (thank you ott!)
floyd
marley
and in the less respected realm (in no particular order), i like:
maroon 5
michelle branch
christina aguilera
black eyed peas
a short list of lady gaga
paramore
311
weezer
linkin park
plain white t’s
jason mraz
and this list could go on and on, usually at the cost of singles vs. albums

EDIT:  whoops, Ott’s electronic, sorry!  Ott’s new for me

you gotta get rid of those artists in the ‘less respected’ list. yuck.

Peter Murphy’s solo work came out after I had migrated towards electronic music… though at that time it wasn’t Goa, it was industrial.

—Kinda weird how I just don’t really listen to anything but electronic anymore.  It all started with Ott and Shpongle.  Ott was the nail, Shpongle was the hammer and the genre was my coffin

The list is long and it mostly depends on my mood…Lately I’m into Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan a lot.

Currently grooving lots to Donald Fagen. Mmm, nice…
