I remember attending a disco circa 1977 and the DJ played 'I Feel Love' by Donna Summer. I'd never heard anything like it before. The lights and dry ice may have helped but the throbbing electronic pulse was something I'd never experienced. I felt as if this record had been beamed in from outer space!

Just wondering if anyone else remembers hearing a totally new sound for the first time?

Flicking through the stations, I hear the sound of a group called The Prodigy for the first time. I'd heard of them before but this was the first time I'd properly listened to them, and the song - one called 'Out of Space' - was mindblowing to my 16 year old brain, slightly unable to believe that what I was hearing was actually 'music' but loving everyone of the million beats per minute. I kept listening, heard some similar songs (including Opus III's 'It's a Fine Day') and by the time I was listening to SL2's 'On A Ragga Tip' I was won over. Things musical taste-wise would never be the same again.

And hilariously, all this happened in 2004, over a decade after said sound was actually considered new.

I actually heard 'Down in the Park' first, also from the 'Replicas' album by the Tubeway Army.

The biggest game changer though was 'The Message' by Grandmaster Flash (1982)...I knew that it was the beginning of the end for rock music after that.

Listen to their first EP, What Evil Lurks.
