what exactly is the benefit to the forum of banning someone like this person?

"Agree"?

I adore plainchant. :up: I grew up on this shit.

Film composers emulating Philip Glass.

I've never loved spoken word over music, but you're definitely a poet. :clap: It's purely personal preference, but I'd love to read the text as a poem. I always enjoy a little lo-fi (music) though, so I enjoyed it overall. The backing music reminded me of simpler times in my life.

Take care! I can now imagine your actual voice saying "so long, Philosophy Forum!" (also love your Pittsburg accent).

Derivative.

Us mystics are only allotted one curtesy thread per every six months. It's in the site guidelines somewhere.

when there's no hip music left to sample, will music exist?

:up: Crazy dude.

You could describe it as post-rock adjacent, but you got a long way to go...

If you listen, you need to commit to at least 7 minutes. Trust me

My intro. Looking good so far.

Hard-boiled Wonderland And The End Of The Word - Haruki Murakami

He got his start with Pharaoh Sanders I think.

Aha.

Dave Stewart the producer?

@jamalrob The synth solo in that Hatfield track rips btw.

That's putting it mildly. :party: Alien sounds. :death:

:ok:

Hey I have the attention span of a gnat, don't blame me. The media button is the camera in between the eye and the twitter bird. Just highlight the youtube link in the text box and click the camera button.

*bird flits wings apprehensively*

Y'all do realize you just have to highlight the youtube link you copied and hit the "media" button in order to create an image link, right? I've literally not listened to any music either of you have posted for this reason.

Majestic stuff:

Whatever you say...

Do you think experiences can be shared?

You tried to explain the taste of honey using other shared experiences. — hope

That's fine with me.

"Sweet like sugar, thick and sticky, and slightly floral". Easy.

"If you can't explain it to a forum of cantankerous autodidact philosophers, you still don't understand it."

Quality stuff.

:up:

@Hanover

Agreed.

Technically it's not a sect, it's the original church, to my understanding. Correct me if I'm wrong.

A song lost under the noise of how much this band is made fun of:

An interesting article:

Besides, accusations of cultism have been levelled at secular or semi-secular organisations as well as metaphysically inclined ones. Any organisation offering identity-building rituals and a coherent narrative of the world and how to live in it is a target, from Alcoholics Anonymous to the vegan restaurant chain the Loving Hut, founded by the Vietnamese entrepreneur-cum-spiritual leader Ching Hai, to the practice of yoga (itself rife with structural issues of spiritual and sexual abuse), to the modern phenomenon of the popular, paleo-associated sport-exercise programme CrossFit, which a Harvard Divinity School study used as an example of contemporary ‘religious’ identity. If the boundaries between cult and religion are already slippery, those between religion and culture are more porous still.
