A special version; thanks.

Do Marxists still exist?

I probably posted this already. A good snapshot of my musical brain at the moment

Returning Jesus in general has more of a Talk Talk vibe for me. To each their own. Cool New Grass sample in this track (last off topic track I promise)

Bohren & der Club of Gore — Jamal

Don't know them but appears to be something that I need to check out. On the list it goes.

In the spirit of unbearably poignant nostalgia, this is probably my top No-Man track. Wrong thread, whoops



"The hollow thump of life that has no taste."

In retrospect No-Man would probably be my favorite project of his, maybe aside from Bass Communion. I like No-Man, although it does have recently-widowed-40-something vibes to it at times. And the Talk Talk/David Sylvian/Scott Walker influence can be a little heavy-handed. The No-Man catalogue is deep, though.

Good idea.

This song reminds me that America isn't quite the anti-christ our Australian lovelies would make it out to be:



"We're all just walking through this darkness on our own."

I recently found “The Album Years” with Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness. — Jamal

Ironically I've listened to this one, since I used to be a Wilson-head back in high school.

I suppose I can give it a shot. I'm not really sure how podcasts would fit into my schedule. I'm a true millennial; I just watch youtube channels.

I don't understand podcasts. I used to love listening to terrestrial radio because it was live, and you just had to see what was on and go with it. Choosing to listen to someone talk for an hour feels weird. I guess it's like reading.

Stay classy. — Streetlight

:rofl: :vomit:

I shouldn't have to spell this out, X.

I don't war crime apologies
— Olivier5

Pre-edit.

Lol. — Streetlight

A classic example of why you are not a trustworthy human being and have the sense of humor of a child. Thank Cthulhu you're no longer a mod.

:up:

Give thoughtful, substantive responses and I'll be happy to have a conversation.

Not really.

There is a certain kind of mindset which finds this new universe not exhilarating — hypericin

How would anyone find their "God's falling like meteors from the sky" exhilarating? You're describing a complete paradigm shift in which the universe is no longer safe but rather alien. It's total existential crisis. As @Hanover mentioned, the whole thing smacks of personal projection, a rationalization of a personal experience.

Ahead of it's time, released in 1997:

The drumming is so certain to itself. — Paine

Danny Carey is a jazz drummer by trade. I always felt his playing was as emotional as it is technical, a rarity, especially among metal drummers. I think you can see that here:

I'm in the process of answering you by asking a question.

A beautiful sunset is meaningful. — Jackson

How so?

I’m currently no more inclined to try to define “the aesthetic” than I am to define either “beauty” or “art”. — javra

:ok:



Ultimately, beauty and meaning are the same thing.

Lovely stuff here my friends:

I imagine the human voice slightly predates the wooden stick as the first musical instrument. There's a reason pop music is/was arguably the most successful art form in history (I guess that's a whole different can of worms).

They're apparently that tight live as well; no studio wizardry required.

Indeed. Also love this track and this album in general, I feel like it's pretty underrated. The production alone is a lot more detailed.

Interesting choice. Lateralus might be the best metal track ever recorded.

hhhhhhhhhhhh

Candide might be the worst novel I read in college. :sweat:

Although I did love the "One must tend one's own garden" sentiment at the end.

Wow

I think hip hop production has moved pretty far beyond concepts of percussion and melody...

Jeezus

Haven't read Miller, no. I suppose this thread is just an opportunity for unenlightened to enlighten us? As MU mentioned, we all do consider you god, myself included.

To quote Jung: "I needn't believe. I know."

Why am I listening to Madonna someone please help me

All of this was a parody of y'all, which I think wasn't apparent.

Ukrainians are nothing but intellectual sex toys to them. — StreetlightX

Did you add this on?
