What are some tracks that make you feel so small and insigificant like you have been ingulfed by them and they won't let you out? :) Two I can think of right now: Orbital - The Box (long version/parts 1-4): This is such an amazing tune, my favorite part starts at about 9:05. I can listen to this track all day long. Not so much IDM but, John Digweed - Heaven Scent: This track definatly makes me feel like I'm surrounded. Well it sounded like a good topic when I thought of it I just wish I could have thought of some better examples. So what are your favorite 'epic' tracks?

I'm bored, so here are they : In no real order ( and so much varying styles ... ) and mostly ambient ... Most of them must be listen to on a large Sound System ... DreamFish's Hymn ( Pete Namlook and Mix Master Morris ) Spacetime Continuum's "Alien DreamTime" Theses two go together, with the vocals and the sounds, so deep, I love them ... Atom Heart Track one of "B2 Live at Berlin/Barcelona" Monochrome Ambient with a touch just make me happy ... Banco de Gaia's Last Train To Lhasa most of the 2nd CD ... Miranda Sex Garden's "Fairy Tales of Slavery" ( the last track ) Gothic, Sexy and you just want to dive in and be a slave of those voices ... Daniel Pemberton "Bedroom" with the "Antartica" track. So Clean and Cold ...

okay I'll bite Isolee - Beau Mot Plage (freeform remix) not necessarily engulfing, but it makes me feel insignificant to the amount of music in that track -i --- Adam Wendt <billyjoeray@netzero.net> wrote:

Have to admit about The Box of Orbital... Track 7. on Surfing on Sinewaves (Polygon Window) Psy 9 of Air Liquide but the 12" verion... very important because there is a "blank" right in the middle of the track which is SO important that is not on the CD version... There was also a track of I (Atom Heart) live somewhere (can't remember... my record has been stolen) on an old Trance compilation of Rising High... alx -----Original Message----- From: Adam Wendt [mailto:billyjoeray@netzero.net] Sent: August 6, 2001 4:34 PM To: idm@hyperreal.org Subject: [idm] Epic Tracks What are some tracks that make you feel so small and insigificant like you have been ingulfed by them and they won't let you out? :) Two I can think of right now: Orbital - The Box (long version/parts 1-4): This is such an amazing tune, my favorite part starts at about 9:05.

The only one I can think of at the moment would be Richard Devine's track on the Lily of the Valley Compilation. That monstrous 12 minute opener. Excellent tune that engulfs anything within audible distance of the stereo its spitting out of. -mark Adam Wendt wrote:

> Not even the obligatory Robert Rich mention? (Can we say multi-hour > sleep concerts recorded on video-tape?) Just for starters....

I'm always perversely fascinated by this 'non-art' stuff...(eg everybody sleeps, and watching someone else sleep is not very interesting...I first came across the idea in a Warhol film). Someone once made a very boring video of driving round and round the ring road which surrounds London, and it sold like hot cakes. Myself I have a strange obsession with washing machines. They entrance me. I mention this only because every now and again I design a weirdo synth patch or set up some odd effects combo with my few pieces of gear, and then happily spend an hour or more listening to the resulting noises while adjusting the parameters. I rarely bother to record any of this because a) I don't have much disk space, but mainly b) I feel like 'it's not really music' if I can't (or don't want to) sync it up with a beat or suchlike. I like the variety of sounds that can be pulled out of a setup like this, but I always assumed that that was because I am basically a synth nerd :-) However sometimes I'll make an mp3 or the like for a friend to show off something we've been talking about (eg weird things to do with delays) and people seem to quite like these recordings of me just tweaking about rather than trying to actively write a track. It's not my idea of IDM, since it is often neither danceable nor deliberately musical, I don't know what to call it...electronic improvisation or something? Does anyone else like listening to this sort of stuff? Or am I just weird? Anig Browl _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
