hi, i am in the process of compiling mixes for a small birthday party i am having and i want to have one of the mixes convey feelings of intense emotional sadness or joy that could almost make you weep. very overwrought and melodramatic but in a good way. also very well produced. no genre definitions required. it can be pop, or idm or techno or even country (shudder) if it fits the bill in the emotions department. examples of the vibe i am looking for would be: portishead (a few things from 'dummy') old sinead o'connor julee cruise aphex (stuff from saw I) some seefeel 'moist moss' from locust's "weathered well" i have some things in mind but i thought people on the list(s) might have some insights into songs that make them feel this way. any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot! derek... peace, love and ambience. d... d@techno.ca http://www.clo.com/~orbital

Very interesting question. Three things that immediately come to mind are: Autechre-Vletrmx21 (off of the "Garbage" e.p.) Goretski-Third Symphony (amazing ambient/classical music that recently rendered me full of tears - very emotional and overwhelming at times) SPK-Zamia Lehmanni (seminal industrial outfit, this album is an essential release and is not typically "industrial" or SPK sounding, for that matter. Dark, somber symphonic soundtrack type music <Graeme Revell is a genius>) I'm sure there are quite a few more, but my mind is blank. Good luck. -- Mr. Tangent "insert random quoted text here, for your reading pleasure"

its gorecki, and i could not agree more. the first 10 minutes or so is probably the most beautiful classical music i have ever heard. (although its not really classical, i think it was written in the early 70's about a polish ghetto during ww2) also check out everything you do is a balloon by boards of canada cl

ahh, yes, good choice, too. but leave out the last 2.30. :) i made a tape for a friend, and that's the last track. he said he almost cried himself to sleep to it, then that part started and he burst out laughing... * #### a disturbance in a system. #### laerm. @voicenet.com #### one time and you're a philosopher; two times and you're a pervert.
