Andy Stott has outlined a list of thirteen albums that have shaped his musical outlook, ranging from 1980s synth‑pop and 1990s trip‑hop to more experimental, glitch‑laden electronic works. The selection provides a snapshot of the sounds that have informed his approach over a career spanning more than two decades.
The Quietus notes that Stott’s catalogue includes early releases such as Passed Me By and Luxury Problems, which featured dub‑inspired minimalism and gritty rhythms, while later projects like Too Many Voices (2016) and It Should Be Us (2019) incorporated elements of dream‑pop into his signature style. The upcoming record, Late Loop, marks his first full‑length studio album in five years and continues his exploration of these varied influences.
