Aphex Twin's 1994 masterpiece Selected Ambient Works Volume II includes barely anything resembling a beat or any sign of typical song structure, yet the album continues to garner adulation generally reserved for holy music. Fans have been testifying on its behalf for nearly two decades, as if it were capable of curing ills or healing the soul. Its synthetic construction belies the intuitive, human, melancholic and uplifting nature of the music. ...
British electronics wunderkind Richard James (alias Aphex Twin, AFX, Polygon Window, etc.) claims he heard the compositions on Selected Ambient Works, Volume II in lucid dreams.

Milford3 - you got the 990's kicking again?

milford3 · « **Reply #51145 on:** 23 Nov 2012, 02:38 am »

FireGuy, my DT 990's are still in the abandoned Jersey shore condo. I'm using a laptop with the HD 555's. Boy , do I miss my system.

That's gotta be painful. If I were you, and after the ugliness of Sandy has past and just a life-adjusting story, I'd treat myself to the T1's. Seriously, it will be well deserved.

At least Novembers Doom is making me fell better.

The Pale Haunt Departure is Novembers Doom's best effort, IMO.

Joe Jackson: Will Power
An excursion into modern classical composition. Couldn't find samples. For those wanting to limit Joe as a 'pop' musician not your cup of tea. For those with an open mind, nice work imo. A taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxFX0TVRT78
