One of the most exclusive moments in my life was a few summers ago when
I was going to town on a gray morning. I was listening to Kirk DeGiorgio's
Check One (a 2CD mix on Extreme), and the first track on the first CD is
Photek's T'raenon (from Op-Art OP1), a beautiful airy piece with a rather
long intro. As the intro ended and the stunningly subtle breaks started
rolling in after a rising resonance sweep, the clouds parted for just a
second and the sun shone quite literally on me. In rapid succession the
clouds covered the sun again and I didn't see any more sun that day. But
at that moment, I felt absolutelypositivelydefinitely alive and I still
get a backful of shivers when I listen to that song. Needless to say, the
event set the mood for the day.
I think these are things Douglas Coupland would classify as Takeaways
(if you don't know what I'm talking about, read Generation X again).
