Hmmm - sorry to disagree but that voice grates like fingernails down
a blackboard. YES the music *is* great and... I am yet to do this,
but I think I'll play the thing through a ProLogic system and pull
the levels on the centre right down to phase out the vocals and see
what happens.
I can actually loop the track "Joga" over and over a few times and it
is chillingly goosebumpy, but for the rest, even though it has a
short running time (what? something like 43 minutes total?) it's
just TOO much of that voice swooping and diving doing my head in.
As for IDM music that touches you in a special place...
Squarepusher's Beep Street just does something for me. No, it's not
a tear jerky emotion - more an elation that goes beyond clarity;
it's like all the bits and pieces falling into place.
Allright, I'll shut up now!
