20 Songs That Insipred "Out of Orbit"

Thought I'd give some insight to the songs that directly inspired me when recording the "Out of Orbit" album.

Ultimately, there is an endless list of tunes that has captivated me over the years. My tastes are pretty eclectic, and a broad palate of sounds inspire me when creating music. However, when it came time to aim for a sound for "Out of Orbit" I knew I wanted it to have a certain vintage quality with a large scope. The drive as for this album to have as much in common with current electronica as it did with my art-rock heroes from the late 70's eary 80's.

I just created a playlist on Myspace that I was hoping to embed here on the Alphanaut Blog. Unfortunately Myspace doesn't offer an embed feature in their share options, so if you want to have a listen to what you compiled you'll have to click the link and listen on their system.
