I was [listening to some music yesterday](http://www.kosmischerlaufer.com/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) which reminded me heavily of listening to music back in my early teen bedroom at home.

I had an Alba music system, and a small stack of vinyl. I was in a transition from the 'pop' music of my childhood, into discovering something new.

Gary Numan, John Foxx and Kraftwerk were becoming the music of choice for this teenager [from the West of London](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayes,%5FHillingdon?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk).

I tried to remember what came before. Further back than the music I chose.

I remember the music from a cassette player in my Dads car. Stevie Wonder, ELO and maybe Abba.

I remember the noise of a house party at home with family and friends dancing around the hi-fi system we had, Carl Douglas and Motown. 

So many influences. So many music memories.
