Preferred music :

Any music that stands. The key-words would be : intense, inspiring, surprising, dark. No prejudice. No labeling. Respect to any music that displays originality, and to all people showing a high ‘fuck you’-level to what others may think of them or their music.

Favourites :

Black Sabbath : How heavy can one go ? How much drive can one put into a song ? How important can one be for a later generation ?
Brian Eno : Listen to his ‘Apollo’ and let him take you out there.
Led Zeppelin : Intense, inspiring, experimentally surprising. Perhaps Plant rules.
Tool : All of the above, plus giving new meaning to the word ‘Dark’. Perhaps Maynard James Keenan rules.
Others : Jefferson airplane, Massive attack, Cypress hill, Kyuss, Marley
