The way a song is crossing your path, makes it feel different?

I don't know how to say this but I will do my best. ..
when I walked inside the music area at Paradiso last
saturday the Warp DJ played VI Scose Poise which sounded
very cool, I did know the song and also played it like 8
times before, but combined with the ambiance and the full
sound this song sounded very warm and different than at
home, somehow it has another dimension added to it.
when I play the song now I like it much more and ofcourse
that is because of the memory I have now, but it is still
the same song.

Does it make sence?

i can remember listening to screamadelica tripping my face
off on acid.

i couldn't listen to slip inside this house for about 2
years after because of all the flashbacks.

so i would say that you do make sense.

hearing songs in a different context does affect you.

Yes, that makes sense to me. I find the setting/location you
are in while playing a song will greatly affect the way you
perceive it. Aldo lighting, ambient sounds, mood etc have an
effect.

That is why a lot of people who don't go to clubs or Ibiza
can't see the appeal in commercial dance.

I do actually see your point there but i think even if i
went i wouldn't like it as i never have and never will.

Dance music is less about music appreciation and more about
using music to trigger memories and feelings. There are
certain dance tracks I love though.

I heard the first song off draft played loud in a club, gave
me a whole new perspective on it :)

yes, I understand your point... music that I have link to
some part of my life always sounds better and means more to
me then other music that hasn't been link in the same sort
of way...

and yeah, I love a lot of fairly cheesy and cheap 80's songs
just because they're very nostalgic and stuff...

i defintely understand what you mean.

like you there are certain tracks i just didn't "get" til i
heard them in the right environment. and its not just as
straightforward as a clubs/drugs thing. it can be a
headphones moment - you finally hear the intensity of the
track when nothing else can interfere. or when you hear
something in a certain mood/place/with certain people -
somehow, it always manages to capture that feeling you had.
so you can live it again. if you see what i mean.

Yup, I never really enjoyed Autechre's Garbage E.P. until I
was on the train with my girlfriend in the early evening the
other week... weirdly fitting.

yeah I see what you mean, I also do that, and when I play
that song again after 5 years I hope I will be
mindtransported back to Paradiso ;) (what a night btw)

"headphone moment" is also a good description, like for
example Squarepusher - Tetra-sync sounds very chaotic on
speakers but on headphones it just sound super and
everything fits perfectly, this also has something to do
with the way a song is brought to you.

-crazone is that ment for me? if it is, I didn't use a thing
at that moment

this is also why I think that ppl could appreciate IDM, just
if it is brought to them in the right circumstances.

Songs always change their spots depending on how happy/sad I
am, how hungry I am, where I am, how loud I'm listening to
it, etc. And first impressions are important. Albums
eternally remind me of the location and state of mind I was
in when I either listened to it for the first time. Maybe
not literally the first listen, but the initial
''honeymoon'' period when I'm getting to know the album.
This goes for most people though, I'd assume. So hopefully
I'm in a suitable and compatible mood when I hear something
for the first time.
