[sdiy] Essential listening?

[jbv]

Wow... I'm afraid you just opened the Pandora box...
This thread will probably end up with tons of references,
from ugly (and painful) TD/KS... to the dullest techno crap...

If you allow me one advice : if you're building your 1st modular,
just keep your mind blank of any reference, and just explore the
field with as much naivety and opendmindness as possible...
This is your best chance to inject new blood in the synth music
field, instead of re-using the same old tired recipes from the 60's
and 70's...

This is just my personal opinion of course.
