I had the cd shuttle on repeat all night, and when I woke up, Solvent's "Wig $1.00" started playing just as the sun was barely coming up. That was such a perfect and beautiful song for that moment. Anybody else experience something like that or have a song that coincidentally captured a haiku-like moment they were experiencing so perfectly? -- S H A D O W D W E L L E R S clever mc-noahdeeakili-jamal amin-shep P S A L M 9 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

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). -- nuutti-iivari meriläinen gordon at diversion dot org http colon slash slash www dot diversion dot org slash --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
