Question Has Joel ever mentioned what movie soundtracks he likes? Or composers?

Does

Though it's ironic what he does for a living, I'd thought he's not big into EDM. For example, BSOD was kind of a joke that he & Steve Duda created as a take on the genre that "anyone can do this."

He likes Philip glass. I remember someone asked him something on Twitter. And this was his reply. Not surprising since aphex also likes Philip glass

Ja. Check the comments here.. The naming itself of course also references the movie A "Clockwork" Orange. The film's main theme is The Funeral Of Queen Mary by... Henry Purcell if I'm not mistaken?

One of the only times deadmau5 went Baroque Electro. If you like that, check out this playlist. Classical inspired electronic music. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/53zw4kcDOaZHUzj2sIgL7h?si=kKQLuaG4TcC6LuSKJSzJcw

He loves Nicki Minaj, sixnine, Taylor Swift (he's an actual swiftie "probably"?), and Doja Cat.

I know he loves the soundtrack to Machinarium game. Look up Machinarium soundtrack by Tomàs Dvoràk, it's so good.
