#20songs
Tripping through memories, musical history. This is probably true for many musicians and non-musicians alike: there are just some moments in personaly history of everyone that are emotionally and experientially connected to a music recording - at least in 20th/21st century.
On fediverse/mastodon there's currently a meme/trend/hashtag #20books:
"Book Challenge: 20 Books that have had an impact on who you are. One book a day for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just book covers, with alt text."
And, of course, there's a music equivalent:
Offizielle Regeln:
"Song Challenge: 20 Lieder, die Dich geprägt haben. Ein Lied pro Tag. 20 Tage lang. Keine Erklärungen. Keine Bewertungen. Nur Titel/Cover."
or in english:
Song Challenge: 20 songs that changed who you are. One song per day. For 20 days. No explanations. No evaluations. Just titles and maybe covers/links.
Well, creativity is a relentless pain in our minds. So, I'd like to post actual audio files. I will be posting them to sonomu.club, and write explanations here.

01
Kraftwerk: Boing Boom Tschak/Techno Pop/Musique Non Stop (Electric Cafe, 1986)
I had this on cassette tape when I was something like 9 (that's 1986). I don't know who gave me the tape, it was most probably my (11years) older sister who was around the Ljubljana's avantgarde like Neue Slowenishe Kunst, Laibach and Dragan Živadinov. The succession of there three tracks just left lasting impression on me. The combination of synthetic and industrial sounds on one hand, and electronic melodies on the other, continuous variations while staying and relentless electro beat just held me in a special place. I have edited all three tracks in one file.
