wonderful album, spot-on review

I've been looking for the movie for a while... but I can't seem to find it. As for the soundtrack, you're absolutely right... sublime and heartbreaking... magnificent. Congratulations on the review.

P.S: the dispute you are having is just ridiculous...

R.E.M. are not one of the bands that drive me crazy; they belong to that kind of groups that have never managed to make an album I completely liked. However, I always keep a playlist of R.E.M. close at hand, as their discography contains individual songs of incredible beauty... anyway, a great band...

this discussion is a treasure trove of useful advice... I will make sure to listen to what I don't know about what has been said...

note in my personal planner: "to listen to"...

but I haven't voted for the review yet...sorry for the slip...

Now it's you misunderstanding Dante... don't take me for some expert in the field who criticizes from the height of his erudition. I'm someone who has always listened to more traditional music, coming from the realms of alternative rock, and who, like you, is only now approaching electronic music. Perhaps that's why I felt the need to speak out about Music For Airports; it was one of the albums that opened my mind to this kind of work. Anyway, I also agree with you about Eluvium, a remarkable artist, but he doesn't tell me anything new, he moves in the already-done, and reminds me of that new-age meditation music that I so hated in the past. Anyway, a little advice from an inexperienced person: while I'm writing, I'm savoring Geogaddi by Boards Of Canada, I haven't digested it yet, and maybe I'm talking about an album you know very well, but I'm really enjoying it (even if it's not exactly in line with what we're discussing here)... let me know.

I'm not specifically familiar with this work by Basinsky, but in general, I truly consider him an essential pillar of contemporary music. As for the doubts regarding Eno's works, I must respectfully disagree. The good old Brian with Music For Airports has indeed left his mark in the pantheon of music. Today, it’s easy, from the heights of the technologies we have at our disposal, to see the works that opened highways for those who came after as naive. It might also be a subjective idealization, but I will never tire of listening to that album, which, in my personal and modest opinion, aside from the idea and the concept, is also aesthetically and formally stunning...

I can't get into the specifics of the songs in question, as I know Tori but not this album... Anyway, in my opinion, making pop doesn't equate to making bad music; pop can also be refined and of quality. Bands like Sigur Ròs, Mùm, and many others turn pop into an art that is by no means to be despised...
