i got the 4 cd's some months ago and i can easily say they're awesome. my favorite is cd III. really emotional and moving imo. i heard that "watermusic" will be reissued shortly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not saying it's not good music - just that the narrative helps it find a wider audience. "any attention at all" is of course an exaggeration. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it's a nice story, well not nice but you know what i mean. I have yet to comment on the (disintegrating) music though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first 10 minutes I heard this I liked it, then as I listened longer I liked it less and less. In the end it bored me so much I deleted it from my harddrive. It's just goes on for far too long and makes me feel depressed. |

i guess there are people like that, although i find it a bit hard to imagine how one could listen to such a repetitive track they wouldn't like the sound of, no matter what the story behind it is..hmm i already downloaded 4 albums by this guy (two of this disintegrating series - just couldn't wait for cds :) i very much agree with what is said in that pitchfork review - if there is heaven this is how it would sound like! |

That's funny, I thought it might be more in line with the soundtrack to Dante's Inferno - Level 1 :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could be both, that is why it is so interesting :-) so pleasant but so scary at the same time.. |

Its something that you need on in the background. Like most ambient music, close listening tends to ruin the experience, while when left on in the background, it lends to the atmosphere, altering and strengthening your mood. Music like this can be life changing in this reguard, and it makes it all the more powerfull when it actually means something. That is what makes music like this so powerfull. |

hmm, i can listen to it focused and it sounds just as awesome to me...i get completly melted :) |
||||||||

|
|
sure you can focus on repetitive music, it's the thing to do to get the most of it. but it very much needs the right frame of mind. |

check out john hudak - room with sky if you're into basinski it's not entirely the same kind of music. but it's eerie & soothing at the same time too |

BASINSKI, WILLIAM - Silent Night Basinski's long anticipated followup to The Disintegration Loops series. Elegant and mind-numbingly good, what the world has been waiting for. "Newest work by Basinski. Very tranquil, somnolent ambient meditation, 60 min. Composed using the Voyetra 8 synthesizer. In clear plastic sleeve with ink jet printed folder featuring a drawing by James Elaine." anyone heard this one yet? |

Where would i find it tolstoyed??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is so incredibly beautiful, especially the parts that sound a bit darker..perfect sound to my ears. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it gives me shivers all over!! what are everyones favourite pieces? i would have to say my absolute fav one is the one that was posted earlier in this thread 'dlp2.1', and then 'dlp 2.2' and 'dlp 6'. ohh ahh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dlp 4 and 5 remind me of the music at the end of Lord of the Rings. It's sad and sweet and haunting, like the end of an epic journey. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dlp 4 is my fave one. gonna check out his new stuff immediatly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just got the originals today (can't say i ever waited this long for any albums) and i can't wait to give them a listen in proper quality :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you buy them from WB himself ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, not the originals since those were apperantly disintegrated :) that dlp 4 sure does sound beautiful, i forgot about it above.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course not the originals hehe. |
||||||||
|
|

i discovered this about a year ago and was fascinated. sometimes i just put it on and let it lead my day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you like to keep stuff to your self don't you? |
||||||||

|
i heard an excerpt of this on the radio a week ago - it was really beautiful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey tolstoyed im almost 100% i told you about it. anyhow, its really beautiful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you must have told me in a non interesting way or else i'd look into it :) (although, maybe, perhaps i thought i shouldn't trust a vsnares fan) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is the most relaxing music ever i think..no matter how bad or stressed i feel, this always relaxes me totally. and it's weird because it has that certain uncomfortable feel to it at the same time.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im still lovin it too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I havent listened to the entire series, but i enjoyed what i heard |

they're pretty easy to fend off, except when in groups as depicted above. then the key is to move slowly and step away.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I take it you learned this by trial and error. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
primarily error. |
||||||||
|

right now I'm finding this pretty god damned awesome! the concept itself somehow redeems the (initial) repetitiveness, and when you listen it isn't repetitive, so it doesn't matter! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
word! can't wait to get the rest of 'em! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hah, I bet you do :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awesome speeds! |
