Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I just bought a re-mastered version of this album, and I'm ashamed I didn't pick it up before. It's one of the most beautiful CDs I've listened to in recent times, with lovely melodies, uplifting ambient tracks, and some nice etheral techno thrown too. I'm not sure how the remaster compares with the original, but the bonus CD is also pretty good (though not as magical as the album imho.) I really miss this early/mid 90's sound in general. |

This is a fantastic album. Bought the remastered version for my ex's 30th birthday. I love this album. Definately in my top 10. |

you should listen to my music. someone told me apparantly its quite similar :P |
||||||||

Yeah, your latest ambient track and snippets remind me of Global Communication's music in some ways. So many classics come from that period; the early Autechre albums, the 2nd and 3rd Orbital albums, FSOL's "Lifeforms", The Orb's stuff, etc... |

You seem entirely too cheerful. Did you forget to suckle from the teat of bitterness again? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
why would i be bitter? |
||||||||
|
|

i have never heard this album. |

#10 is especially awesome. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Because of your retarded-ass low dopamine wrist slitting fuck-cunted bitterness, I guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Listen to CD1 of "Lifeforms", "Dead Cities", and "My Kingdom". |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
you're fucking stupid. i pity you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you pity me enough to let me join your gang, or do I have to be even more pitiable to stoop that low? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't actually give a fuck. |

|

Wow! Was that the initiation ritual? |

|

I bought this the other day actually. To be honest its not hitting me much yet. I like the first track but I get a bit bored as it goes on. It sounds very much like FSOL to my ears, and they are another band I've only had limited affection for. I don't think I have the attention span I once had, to listen to these sprawling ambienty albums. I hope it will change as I miss this sort of stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I can understand that. It certainly requires some effort to listen to; for example, I wouldn't just put it on for some immediate enjoyment or even in most moods. But if you've got the time to spare, or need something that feels like a "journey", those albums work well imo. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

bought it first time round, but I thought and still think it's a bit too fluffy for my tastes. First and second tracks are nice though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, I don't think this is such the landmark that people make out. And it's nothing like FSOL at all. And it requires about as much effort to listen to as scratching your arse, it's nice, very nice, but ... I don't know, not all that rewarding. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep its not instantly rewarding, I don't think. Its bloooy long, too, I'm getting too weary for long albums I've found :( Yes there is some nice bits though. I like the whispering track. I am a bit disapointed so far, having read the fantastic comments in the inlay before hand. 'Ranks alongside Eno's best' - no, not really. It is lush, but its not timeless like Eno's stuff. Still, I'll give it time. DB - its totally like FSOL! It reminds me very much of Lifeforms. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm, I wouldn't agree.... Lifeforms has a lot more going on, and creates its own world, it's a lot more varied I think than 76:14 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes as an album I imagine they are quite different... but the synths sounds and general pace kinda strike me as similar. I prefer Lifeforms I think, so far... got that whole psychadelic rainforest thing going on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, I didn't mean it required effort in that it was "difficult" sounding, but the tracks take a fair while to evolve, and I personally think you need to listen to the whole thing in one sitting as each track builds on the previous one. I find Lifeforms more varied, but also more "messy" in comparison to this. It's not quite as satisfying or structured (but that's probably the whole point.) |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

|
|
i also only heard this lately and it's one of the best things i've heard in ages and ages. it's almost like a cross between saw85-92 and sawv2. i love it to death |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If i want to not think about much at then this is perfect music to think of nothing too. Thinking of nothing is something iw ant to do quite alot recently, so i will be enjoying this for a while. It is quite similar to lifeforms buit this is cheesier. Yep, that's right cheesier. Still good though, reminds me of some of the stuff on ambient by moby. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I often find "cheesier" stuff more obviously satisfying. Nothing wrong with some actual memorable melodies and nice climaxes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is there anything else close to these (Lifeforms and 76:14; 90s ambient) out there? Im all over this stuff right now as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld and UF orb are sort of along the same lines, i guess. both are excellent! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, me too. I found some of the material a bit too hippy dippy ambient in places. This album would be very unremarkable if those melodies were any different. |
