    I read Kevin took a sample from a Turkish belly-dancing cassette he found, and turned it into this. Brilliant.

      For me it's like waking up from a fever dream as a kid, and still having that warm on the head. And there's a glass of water that's a little warm because it's been there for so long (plus the house is empty / quiet)

    This track, 'Blown a Wish', 'I Only Said' and others make me feel a strange kind of excitement; one of those crazy, disruptive ones, where I would turn into a tidal wave of energy and destroy everything around me, until I would trespass into the universe and explode in a bright glow... and all with joy in my body, orgasm in my heart and a smile on my mouth. That's something indescribable, almost unhealthy, perhaps even perverse. And at the same time it's of an intoxicating and sublime ecstasy 💜

    Three years later, they actually do let you share the video, and ads are now attached to pretty much everything you see online. I see the video itself as advertising...encourages discovery of new music, increases sales of music. That's the whole point of a music video, to increase awareness of the band and music. That's why I always thought it was dumb to disable embedding. Increased sharing equals increased awareness, which theoretically should lead to increased music sales.

      @My Jade Buddha Yes, I know. But there are more complex reasons having to do with brainwave entrainment. Kevin has stated that they purposely craft their music to entrance people with certain repetitive patterns, which is a way of sharing entire perceptual experiences with a person through music; the feelings and sensations they associate with their music are transmitted directly into the brains of their audience. It's an experience that borders on telepathy. So synesthesia wouldn't be necessary.
      It's something I do with my own music. My genre is different, but it's still part of the same neo-psychedelic movement that popped up in the late 80's when I was developing my sound. Shoegaze and gothic metal both morphed out of gothic rock. Gothic rock morphed out of 60's psychedelic rock.

      "Then we got our first proper sampler, an old Akai, which were quite common by '89 because dance music had exploded. The Tremolo EP was where we really got lost in sampling. That's got loads of sampled feedback played on a keyboard, stuff from round that time... there's a song called 'Swallow', which has a belly dancing tape from Berlin, Turkish music, a sample just taken off the cassette. But I think we used technology much less than people imagine. Like I said, I was just fascinated by the sounds of things taken from the living world and made immortal, but kind of damaged or mummified in the process." - Kevin Shields

    • @thomascraymer8712
      @thomascraymer8712 2 года назад

      Not sure, but other comments seem to suggest it was a sample, and to me it sounds more like a synthesizer with a horn sound applied than an actual horn... actually a friend of mine had a microtonal synthesizer which could get similar sounds to this, I just discovered this song a few days ago and the sample reminded me of that!

    The 80's music had less competition and was better exposed I suppose through one or two medea channels radio as a promotional. Half music notes 🎶🎵🎼🎸are typical to eastern songs. Some bands use it even now. Westerners typically use whole notes. And it could be a main instrument theme like MBV or just a sound effect with the glimps of flavour in the vocals like Tame Impala.
