Droid knows hundreds of totally exquisite bits, maybe thousands, but he feels picking them out would be superficial and disrespectful.
 
almost like a delicately curated artifact hanging there in virtual space glittering and transparent and angular

burrowing into the depths, hacking through thick and thorny vines til the point of exhaustion, then a gap in the trees, sunlight breaks through to reveal the forbidden fruit, or a deep ravine, or a psychedelic toad

yeah i didn't know where the dj dextrous intro came from when i first heard it.

it's funny how everyone talks about how with sampling you can make something better than the original--but sometimes sampling can also make the original better, if that makes any sense.

like hearing the fucked up jungle-ified version of the synth first makes me appreciate the mood of the original song more than i would if i'd only heard the song in that form. (and maybe in a different way.) when you hear the sampled version first, the original version becomes the remix.

this is all exquisite bits


but there's a bit at 3.44 when a synth rises up like heat-haze off a two-lane blacktop in August

it also fits the obscured epic category and the "a whole path this music could have gone down but it didn't"

also best ever use of the Alison Moyet laugh

Yes it feels hot humid, that close muggy reverberation makes the snares wet and the laugh throaty, I think the same thing mvuent was getting at with rust and water.

Rust and water... Im getting into those colours at the moment. Dirty red pushing into brown. Brilliant blue with flecks of white and grey.
 
He deleted the post I think? Don't know why the tunes were great and so were the descriptions. He said one of thew intros sounded both like rusty metal and water

That thing of one producing the other, and the colours themselves being opposites. The red and the blue as ends of a spectrum. Like the night sky with sodium lamps or a sunset.
 

woops

catching up on this thread and wondering why i have wasted time listening to other music
