Name: Pontus Schröder

Age: Actually 14 (!) (turning 15 soon)
Hobbies: shmups(and any other videogame), anime, manga, movies, japanese culture, music.
First Shmup Played: Shikigami No Shiro 2 (DC)

Favorite music: Acid-jazz, ambient, cross-over, drum'n bass, house, IDM, techno, detroit techno, noise, progressive rock, kraut rock, industrial, dub, alternative hiphop.
Anyway, I've been playing shoot em ups since 7 months ago and haning around on the swedish shmup forum STGfan.com.

Thanks:)
Well, take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krautrock , a kind of german -70 progressive rock I think.

[icycalm]

What the hell is "noise"?

I mean, really.

Haha, well, it's what the word sounds like I dont know how to describe it in english, but download any album with Merzbow, and you'll know what I mean.

[Arcatech]

Noise must be listened to LOUD for the full effect.

Damn, I thought I was the only one who had that much good taste at that age.

For shits and giggles I played some Merzbow and Steve Reich over the PA once at my old job. I cut it in between the playlist so whenever a song ended, some bits and pieces of noise would cut in at max level for a bit and then the next song would come in.

[Arcatech]

Did you have any co-workers? If so, I kind of feel sorry for them.

[PaCrappa]

Welcome. Looks like your English is at least a sgood as mine.

I wonder what the yongest member of this board is?

Welcome Nau, your addiction is just begining.

Really? Well, I know, I like being the youngest around myself and when it's about my music! If someone know who Robert Hood is (a detroit techno artist), you know it's REALLY RARE to hear a 14 year old boy listening to him

Thanks, well as always, I'm the youngest

Welcome!

[EOJ]

Welcome! What are some particular bands you like (anything like Ulrich Schnauss, Mark Van Hoen, Children's ice cream/tomorrowland, Isan, or Third Eye Foundation?)? Seems like you're into some good genres.

I didn't know anyone else knew about Ulrich Schnauss. I stumbled upon an MP3 of his somewhere (On My Own, I think it's called). I really dig it. Now, I can't seem to find too much else about him.

[EOJ]

I've been listening to Schnauss for about 4 years now, since his first LP 'far away trains passing by' was released. I really love his music. I think I like his second LP a bit more ('a strangely isolated place') though. You can thankfully buy both for cheap with bonus tracks since they were released recently in the US (I forget the record label). Schauss also did a really cool cover of Slowdive's "crazy for you" which appears on the recent Slowdive tribute album "blue skied an' clear" (on Morr records Germany).

Anyway get either of his two LPs and you'll be glad you did! Great music with a really original sound. He's working on his third LP right now, should be released sometime this year hopefully. He's done a lot of remix work lately as well (such as projects for Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead).

[EOJ]

Nau: I forgot to ask, since you're from Sweden, are you into any of the great Swedish bands like The Legends, Club 8, Acid House Kings, or The Radio Dept?

[roker]

wow

I never thought the Shiki series would bring someone to the boards

try Battle Garegga, Ibara, Under Defeat, Strikers 1945 II, Zero Gunner 2, R-Type (anyone, really), ESPGaluda, Viper Phase 1, etc. etc.

there's so much to do

[Fighter17]

Get MAME set up, that'll be the key for the future!
