I find funny little man depressing

nannou for some readon, but I like depressing music so it
might just be me


 

Euphoriacid from www.mp3.com/ea on 2001-04-02 23:09 [#00002379]



Pigeon Street. It's so happy that when it's over I'm sad.
Prolly cuz I remember I can't ever be as happy as it sounds.
Or maybe. I dunno. And some tracks on SAW2, they just sound
so isolating. And I'm like claustrophobic. That's just my
overactive imagination, but I like it.


 

rob aka bucephalus from aus on 2001-04-03 01:35 [#00002384]



probly rhubarb from saw2

or maybe icct hedral (just cos its so disturbing...)

or maybe ventolin, cos i cant listen to it without getting a
headache :(


 

tekn010G from Australia on 2001-04-03 05:48 [#00002394]



nannou definitely is depressing


 

tekn010G from Australia on 2001-04-03 05:48 [#00002395]



nannou definitely is depressing

I dont know if you guys have tried this, but me and some
buddies take these cold pills and we get pretty fucked up on
them. Anyways, they make oneself very sensitive to music.
I popped on rhubarb and it was the most moving piece of
music i have ever heard in my life. It sounded so perfect
at the time. usually i find that song depressing, but that
night it seemed like i was in a movie or soemthing....it was
absolutely beautiful.


 

mescon from Sweden on 2001-04-03 06:49 [#00002402]



GAK3 and Nannou....


 

tekn010G from Australia on 2001-04-03 07:20 [#00002406]



whats the name of these cold pills? and what is the main
ingredient on the side (eg. paracetomol) this seems like an
interesting discovery, wouldn't mind trying it myself


 

mescon from Sweden on 2001-04-03 07:24 [#00002407]



White blur and "Blur" from SAW2... depressing or what?

If you want any other depressing songs, try and find one of
the following:
Counting Crows - Colorblind
Moby - Guitar Flute & String
Dune - Little princess
Dune - Variations
Dune - Works
Coldplay - We Never Change...

Some depressing songs... I was stunned that Dune made songs
like that... only him and a piano set.... I though he only
made cheap rave/trance shit.. obviously, I was wrong.

// Erik


 

nano from malmö/sweden on 2001-04-03 09:38 [#00002410]



the dune albums "Forever" and "Forever and Ever" are nice,
especialy the piano-only-thingies. go get it!


 

WooferAttack!!! on 2001-04-03 10:44 [#00002414]



One depressing and obsessive song It's "HEDPHELYM" from SAW
(85-92).

In this period I think It's depressive also "QUINO-PHEC"
from POLYGON WINDOW.

...........................................................
............................... woofy


 

AcridWave from Inside the Mind of Val Donican on 2001-04-03 12:35 [#00002419]



I think that Dodecahedronn is depressing due to the almost
werewolf noise that runs through it, the poor creature
sounds in great bloody pain! Also the D-scape remix from ON
(remixes).

And of course the "nothingness" feel from SAW II.


 

D-Hex from KC Missouri on 2001-04-03 20:12 [#00002447]



The cold pills are called corididan. Im not sure what all
the ingredients are but it contains a drug called dxm, also
found in robitussin. Take 8 pills to start out with, work
your way up to the whole box, 16. Oh, and dont forget to
get the cold and cough, non of the other stuff or youll get
sick. Coricidan, cold and cough.


 

D-Hex from KC Missouri on 2001-04-03 20:12 [#00002448]



Coricidan, not corididan.


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-04-03 20:21 [#00002450]



yeah tek, a friend of mine said that if you take a whole
bottle of cold medice, it gets you hella fucked up. he
called it robot tripin'

anywho, Its funny that this topic arose, because i thought
about it one day earlier when i mentioned that i have to
turn to other genre's of music for depressing shit.

My most depressing aphex twin song:

Yellow Calx. the break in the middle when all the snare
rushes stop, and it's just those simple aphex sounding bells
playing that sweet melody.... it breaks my heart.


 

JuniorJones on 2001-04-03 20:45 [#00002452]



Just for the record Its Robo Tripping...Referring to
Robotussin (cough syrup)...


 

Euphoriacid from www.mp3.com/ea on 2001-04-03 22:50 [#00002466]



Robo Tripping is fucking dumb, you'll be fucked up for life.
Just tellin ya. Same thing with those cold pills. I do do
drugs, just not that.

Man... I need to memorize the track names for SAW2 like yall
have...I always have to refer to this damn printout of a
discog...lol.


 

tekn010G from Australia on 2001-04-03 23:25 [#00002471]



robo trippin eh,.. sounds like it's a more popular thing
than I thought,


 

LtAirComStarscream from NEW YORK on 2001-04-04 05:32 [#00002502]



yo dont do robotrippin it messes with ur brain BADLY. its
not the greatest feeling and it does more damage then xtc
and/or acid.



 

ClobeSmith from southern california on 2001-04-04 05:41 [#00002503]



i listened to selected ambient works 2 (the first disc)
after smoking a few bowls right before bed. i thought if i
went to sleep, i'd die. that's got to count for something
...


 

D-Hex from KC Missouri on 2001-04-04 07:10 [#00002506]



Well i heard the opposite about robo trippin. I heard from
a couple people that its the safest way to trip. But who
knows, maybe your right.


 

XePhA88 from San Jose, CA on 2001-04-04 09:33 [#00002516]



okay first of all, i do drugs too, just like most of us (it
seems), but I've learned one thing from it... DON"T do
drugs. and if you are going to do them, learn about them.
personally i haven't researched this robo trippin' thing at
all (thanks for the correction), but i've never done it
either. and if you are going to do drugs, just try to stick
to the psychodelics... the uppers are the scary ones,
because you get addicted. trust me, it's not a fun thing to
be. i don't want to sound all parental, but fUCK. if i
could just stop one of you when you ever faced with the
decision, it's worth it.

anywho... another depressing song I want to mention...
Lichen of SAWII. Now that one is probably the most touching
one out there. sober, stoned, gaked, whatever.. it
reminds me of the color orange... and a warm peace.


 

canny-bag-o-tudor from Perth, Scotland on 2001-04-04 19:39 [#00002557]



Dont know if depressing is the correct term, i mean no one
enjoys being depressed, do they? But Ventolin does make my
ears bleed, thats a bit depressing.


 

JOHNjayMCdeX from h-town-tex on 2001-05-07 20:56 [#00005839]



Tripping on DXM (syrup) is better than other drugs in my
opinion. I have done other "illegal" drugs in the past but
this is a different experience. It's more of a mind fuck
than anything else i have done. By the way...CORRICIDAN COLD
CAPS contain harmful active ingredients besides DXM so DO
NOT do it. ROBITUSSIN containing only DXM is the best way to
go.

Fatboy Slim songs sound kind of depressing to me (especially
when tripping).


 

[REFLEX] from Western Canada on 2001-05-07 21:29 [#00005842]



Downers are very addictive, if not more than uppers, such as
Meth. Either way I don't do them anymore.


 

Chris Ochre from rhymes with bum (www.mp3.com/ochre) on 2001-05-07 22:55 [#00005848]



The most depressing Aphex song surely has to be 'At The
Heart Of It All', from NIN's 'Further Down The Spiral'.
Fucking ace, though. I wouldn't call SAW II depressing. I
reckon Nannou is quite a sweet little song...
I don't do drugs because they fuck you up. End of story.
Never been tempted either. Shit, when will people learn...

Chris.


 

[REFLEX] from Western Canada on 2001-05-08 00:27 [#00005852]



Chris: good call.. ive been clean for almost a year now.


 

od from perth on 2001-05-08 03:24 [#00005859]



i thingk that they can be good depending on the person
personally they made me paranoid as fuck, but im not gonna
stop, coz theyve had other benefits. but im only on basics
at the moment. i wanna robotrip sounds liek fun. the best
story was my mate on these laced billies. we all went a
little over the top and he went mad for 17 hrs.


 

[REFLEX] from Western Canada on 2001-05-08 03:53 [#00005865]



od: ive done many billies.... we tried to do them with hash,
but it didn't really work.. so we had to smoke feathered
hash in a bowl and joints.. we have a brick the size of my
fist... which is big. And we had an ounce of weed... it was
all gone in 5 hours.. we all felt ILL. But in a good..
relaxed way.. sorta. :]


 

5is6 from +-=0 on 2001-05-08 05:39 [#00005868]



CORICIDAN PILLS CAN AND WILL KILL YOU!
If you want to try DXM, get a bottle of Vicks cough syrup
with DXM as the only active ingredient. Other active
ingredients can make you vomet or will take your life so I
suggest reading up on the issue anyways.


 

trybohexonhophonallycedrine extracts on 2001-05-08 07:21 [#00005870]



CORICIDAN PILLS CAN AND WILL KILL YOU! ...?

No they cannot, people kill people. Everything else is
either coincidence or accident.


 

-=[MC PhuQheAd]=- from Frankfurt/Germany on 2001-05-08 08:25 [#00005876]



Counting Crows - Colorblind, from the "Cruel
Intentions"-Soundtrack


 

-=[MC PhuQheAd]=- from Frankfurt/Germany on 2001-05-08 08:28 [#00005877]



oh sorry, aphex related...

well, i guess "rhubarb" (track 3, cd1) from saw2.


 

Arch Rival from NY on 2001-05-08 10:56 [#00005879]



XePhA88 I feel exactly the same way as you!!! Lichen is
definitly a ORAnge track and its nice and mellow.

Why do yall take drugs?
What do yall think of good ol booze and beer? I only drink
firewater and Heineken.


 

phiz from Amsterdam on 2001-05-08 11:05 [#00005880]



its not aphex but,
Ennio Morricone-Once upon a time in America
makes me burst into tears every time i hear the bit where
Bob Deniro sees his childhood sweetheart(who he raped) again
after so many years.
Ooh the Strings! Heartbreaker!!!


 

rubbish john from your local supermarket on 2001-05-08 11:45 [#00005881]



one of the most depressing SONGS i've ever heard is "washer"
by slint.
always brings a tear to my eye.


 

reverend blood red from Florida, USA on 2001-05-08 22:54 [#00005930]



yeah, or 'good morning captain' by slint


 

JOHNjayMCdeX from h-town-tex on 2001-05-08 23:03 [#00005931]



Non-Electronic Music Depression is best found by STAIN'D. I
listen to their CD and am left feeling lonely and slightly
depressed. LOVE IT THOUGH!
By the way...DXM is nifty. =oP


 

rubbish john from a washing machine stuffed full of daz. on 2001-05-09 11:59 [#00005967]



'good morning captain.' is a huge big piece of quality.
fucking amazing. although i think it has a more dark eerie
feel to it rather than being a depressing tune, that said
though, it isn't exactly a party tune.


 

Netlon Sentinel from beyond on 2001-05-09 19:56 [#00005992]



2 of the most depressing songs EVER:

draun quarter by autechre
mayonaise by the smashing pumpkins


 

Joyeboy from California on 2001-05-09 21:06 [#00006009]



Well, define depressing. Cause I really don't think Draun
Quarter is depressing, rather uplifting actually. Rae on
the other hand, can be depressing, methinks.


 

Auspex from CA, USA on 2001-05-10 00:32 [#00006021]



"Grass" from SAWII
Disk 1 : Track 4

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever done.


 

Craig from Philadelphia on 2001-07-20 07:53 [#00016721]



IZ-US from the Come To Daddy EP or, i forget the name of it,
but track 7 on Ambeint 85-92...both very moving


 

Clobe Smith from over here on 2001-07-20 07:59 [#00016723]



hehe, this was the first thread i ever posted in.


 

|REFLEX| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-07-20 08:11 [#00016725]



Depressing songs? This is old too. hm... Dodecaheedron is
good.


 

walt from europe on 2001-07-20 15:24 [#00016823]



hey, what about 'icct hedral' (philip glass orchestration)?
it is really dark and depressing, bordering on madness, like
a nightmare... i love it!

nannou and iz-us are very melancholic pieces, but i think
it's a light melancholy (kind of agreeable despair, to quote
an erik satie piece), a kind of european city suburb on a
rainy day - melancholy.

and funny little man is fantastic, i guess its more insane
than depressing, something which is already beyond a
depression. i always have the picture of a little boy in
mind who tortures a little man (in the size of a mouse).
could be a great video in the style of chris cunningham. and
depressing, that's for sure.


 

Lt. Gerbal Malone from the Woodchip Cage on 2001-07-20 17:20 [#00016843]



I don't know about Aphex Twin tracks, but the new Toothcock
track "Daddy, I can't be a coal miner no more" is pretty
depressing. It's ironic really, but at the same time
depressing. Listening to it you feel that it's not to late
to better ourselves, a universal message, really.


 

\/\/ooƒerAttack²_____ from Milan on 2001-07-20 17:48 [#00016848]



Oh yeah, it's nice to find some old topic...
I find the CD1 of SAWII enough depressive.
