Yah I am a gemini. Its basically my current flavor of listening pleasure, aside from those Phish guys.

I’m a cancer (damn that sounds bad said like that)…but I have no idea how that effects my musical tastes.

As for now…

Gemini- a wee bit sporadic and all over the place… Cancer- introspective, emotional… hence the Radiohead. I have trouble listening to them for any extended period of time, they are truly amazing, but the music reaches way too deep into me.

James Taylor.

my favorite Beasties album

@Mr. Macphisto

Last night I put on Brian Eno: Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks.

I really think this is a great album, and it really has become one of my favorite Eno albums. Though I imagine most people wouldn’t like it… just because the music is too sparce.
Eno points out, in the liner notes, that his intention in creating the soundtrack music for the film was to avoid the more melodramatic and uptempo way in which the original broadcasts of lunar landings were presented. Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks suggests that the collective zeitgeist, arising from the first lunar landings, might have been another thing entirely had it been treated with the more humbling view of the how the achievement truly expanded the boundaries of human experience in an infinite universe.
With that in mind, its a tremendous album. It isn’t until you get to the 5th song “an ending (ascent)” that there is actually any chord structure, but when you really listen to the space and simple oscillator waves you can tell how much treatment everything was given and how textured it actually is.

Anyway, I like it… I tend to think of space when I listen to it. Its like a Journey to the moon and back. I put it on last night going to bed after partaking in some green… I was actively listening to it then somewhere around track 4-5 I must have fell asleep but I was still listening to it… then I was startled by one of the noises on the track and only then did I realize that I had actually fallen asleep. It was like losing radio contact on the dark side of the moon for a few minutes. Very fitting.
An ending (ascent)- The song as it is was created by accident… it was a whole piece of music that was accidentally reversed and he liked it better that was so kept it like that.

as much as i love all of eno’s ambient work, for me, nothing beats the albums through Before and After Science. his first handful are killer.

today’s “other” listening:

because someone started a thread called “hey now” a few days ago. it’s been years since i’ve listened to this, and it is glorious.

i’m also a Cancer. and a lot of people in my family have died from that.

[El_Bastarde]

^i like “Like a Prayer”. the album. and the song. so i won’t laugh at you.

[El_Bastarde]

^Ah, thank you. Dear Jessie off that album is probably one of my favorite Madonna tunes. I also like her “Ray of Light” album. Quality stuff.
