Some good music.

Just spent an evening getting wasted with one of my old raving buds. Now suddenly reminded of this album.


Future Sound of London: ISDN

Jeez, I remember when ISDN was something futuristic...

Fucking great album. I was never a pot head, but I always imagined it'd be a great one to get stoned to a 3am. "Egypt" is the signature track for me, but the whole album is great, third favorite album of theirs behind Lifeforms and Dead Cities. Then FSOL... changed. 2002's The Isness really didn't click with me, and I stopped actively following them, but maybe it's time to check out what they've done since. I'm not going to lie, a lot of artists I loved in the '90s are still active, but they peaked 20 years ago. I heard Orbital was back after breaking up after The Blue Album in 2004, and as excited as I wanted to be, there's more reticence than anticipation.

Lifeforms was my first introduction to ambient IIRC...or maybe it was Deep Forest, or maybe Selected Ambient Works vol II. It's all a bit of a blur honestly. But anyway, point is, Lifeforms was absolutely a formative album for me. Dead Cities was the Last FSOL album I bought or heard of. My tastes just narrowed and they fell off the radar.

Yeah, most of the old rave systems and producers are still going, still putting out the odd tune, putting on the odd party. A lot of them still produce some good stuff, but I'm not the person I was 20 years ago, I'm old and tired, by 2am I'm very much ready to go home to bed and those trecks back are even less appealing.

I am pissed that this song came out a decade ago and I did not even know it existed.

This remix of Frankie goes to Hollywood M's remix legitimately causes goosebumps at times, not sure why. It'll have to make do for the lack of a DnB version.

This gem. I use it to psych myself up all the time.

This always puts me in a good mood

What kind of music is this? Most music is designed to convey a thought or feeling, it's meant to make your thoughts focus on something but there's also this kind of music that's designed to make your thoughts stop, where the point is that the music in and of itself is what is in your head so your brain can rest.

While am not confident with identifying the countless subgenres of music much, those do sound very close to, or exactly like Trip Hop, a genre which I've collected many hours worth of over the years as it's a bit of an ddiction. It can be really helpful when struggling to know what to do or listen to under depression too.

An example of a mix that may provide context or even inspiration if lucky
