Dead Can Dance are fantastic, I love Lisa Gerrards work, very atmospheric with a dark edge. That sort of stuff would suit me perfectly music wise, I just need to learn to skate properly.

I have always liked "Hot Buttered Popcorn" - one of the early synthesizer pieces - but be darned if I can figure out a choreography for it! Another early electronic piece was "Telstar" (I think that's right?) but I haven't found a copy.

I really like surf guitar (like Dick Dale or the Ventures) but I couldn't skate to it. It is fast and high-energy, whereas my skating is sort of more slow and plodding...

I saw a Synchro team skate to this at Pacific Coast Sectionals in the mid-1990s. They wore overlays of white cut-out fabric over yellow dresses -- really gave the look of Popcorn! And of course choreography was a bit easier, since the program was mostly formations and footwork.. but still VERY FAST! And they did a really good job... making it look like they WERE popcorn, they were not "chasing the music" but right on it.

Songs you couldn't skate to....

William Tell Overture... I'd need a mask and a broomstick horsey, before I'd even try!

Luuuve Bob Marley but it aint gonna happen on ice mon!

The General Grivous (sp?) theme from Star Wars--fast and really upbeat. Not my skating style at all.

But wouldn't it make a fabulous artistic or showcase piece??????????????
