I've had similar eperiences with some modern instrumental "Electronica" (errgh. I hate that word like "Trip-hop" and "IDM," but what else am i going to use?): being moved by pure sounds to a near-crying state. (I'm a bit old-fashioned, and it's much more likely to happen with vocal music), but i have four tracks that have done it to me just with sound: Seefeel "Utreat (complete)" Fila Brazillia "A Zed and two L's" Aphex Twin: whichever SAWII track he played live in Mpls. Irresistible Force "Nepalese Bliss (DJ Food Mix)" With the first three, it was just a wash of pure loneliness. I am always in awe of producers who can do this to me, especially seefeel, who worked it with a simple repitition. np: Fila Brazillia "Old Codes/New Chaos" At 09:40 AM 4/13/99 -0500, you wrote: >The 3'22" track was the most stand-out. >It seriously brought back feelings of loss I've had to deal with recently, >and brought me some peace. It totally caught me by surprise--IDM isn't >supposed to be this soulful. ;] _________________________________ Adam Roesch / xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx Augsburg College / Minneapolis / MN / USA http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/ The world's most complete Pork Recordings/Fila Brazillia site: http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/pork/ "The only disease we need in our blood is love" TRICKY
