Mira Aroyo of the much-admired electro group Ladytron, has told the Metro which six tracks living in her iPod are her very favourite.
None of the artists or songs selected are anywhere near to being mainstream or pop, with the tracks like Bolton Wanderer by Planningtorock, Transpiralo by Panice and Ave Lucifer by Os Mutantes featuring on the list.
The compelling Bulgarian vocalist also chose Power to the Pixies by Circulus, Lions by Tones on Tail and A Dream Goes On Forever by electronic pioneer Todd Rundgren.
Of A Dream Goes On Forever, Aroyo told the Metro: "It's romantic, summery and has a beautiful melody with interesting synth solos and percussion.
"It was on the Virgin Suicides soundtrack. Rundgren is prolific, producing people such as Patti Smith."
Based in Liverpool, but with their members hailing from Hong Kong, Bulgaria and London, Ladytron, usually categorized as electroclash, has released four successful albums.
Some of their lyrics are penned in Bulgarian by Aroyo.
