    I've been pondering it for a fair few years now but, I think I can comfortably say this is my favourite tune. The twinkles, drums, ethereal gasps, it all just culminates into an otherworldly eleven minutes and 40 seconds. What.A.Fucking.Chugger!

      sadly its not music of the future, shitty composers are slowly taking over and with older generations dying its gonna eventually disappear :( its sad because im 93' and i always choose such classics over commercial tracks full of stolen ideas just composed in fl studio....but im just one in a thousand, i dont know any single person of my gen who shares the love for 90s electronica wih me

    • @J43rv1

      da23injulecz The good stuff's still there, you just have to sift through a lot more rubbish to find it. Same goes with older records as well, just because they're from the 80's or 90's does not make them automatically great.
      Find your local scene and you'll meet others who share your taste, trust me.

    My favorite thing is UR . The guys knew how to make a masterpiece out of nothing.
    And through time it is heard as a kind of revelation.
    A bunch of emotions and thoughts when listening. Turns the soul.
    Give something modern without soul and imagination.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
    RUS:Моя любимая вещь UR. Ребята умели из ничего сделать шедевр.
    И сквозь время слушается как некое откровение.
    Куча эмоций и мыслей при прослушивании . Переворачивает душу.
    Дайте что нибудь современное без души и воображения.
    Отдаю вам должное, пацаны!
