Day 17: I used to watch 120 Minutes on MTV2 when I was going through phases when I couldn& #39;t sleep. Svefn-g-englar came on & awestruck. Have escaped with this record many times over the years & it& #39;s still full of wonder.

Day 20: It& #39;s a cliche, but as a teenager my listening was dominated by guitars until I stumbled across this EP. Discovering the joy distorted bleeps & drum machines can bring was life changing.
