3 to New Zealand

Soundtrack for the New Zealand generation

We are going to be armed with a creative zen micro, 3 batteries, 1 power adapter and an FM transmitter! All that is now left to do is fill a 5GB hard disk with some great tunes for the trip.

My musical influences are increadibly varied having listened to all forms of music from an early age, including UK &US rock, indie, house, drum&bass, trance, hip hop, etc etc.. basically anything that sounds good. My main likes are uk indie from early 90's to present day and house/dance music from the mid 90's to present day. I also like pretty much any acoustic/classical guitar music from anwhere in the world.

Paul has a penchant for heavy trance music and very early house of the "old skool" hardcore variety, add to this Manchester and Kiwiana and all the tunes that are 'down wid the kids and have a catchy beat!'

Lisa likes her early uk indie music and also has a strange predilection for Fleetwood mac and I reckon some other girlie skeletons ;-)

All in all we have grown up around the same music and can appreciate each others tastes. Or so we think.....

So this note is an attempt to galvanise some of our thoughts before travelling and avoid "the album i don't like" silence that so often happens when sat in the back of a car...
