[TheTrancemaster90]

[JaakunaOkamiNo]

"What Do You Mean?"

[problemerfinder]

There is something hauntingly beautiful about radar stations.

[MrHekelworst]

shut up and listen to the music!

[yourownidea]

VIVA is a german station owned by mtv. it's broadcasted throughout Europe.

[jazz8000]

[agathaa9]

Unforgettable...

[dmj482]

People have had enough, the same that has been said about MTV and viacom could be applied to mainstream media outlets................

Death to the new world odor!

[anarimus]

The funny thing is MTV is the absolute worst music channel. I'm still thinking they went to reality shows and crappy dramas because they saw they were getting killed by MUCH Music on DirectTV and the onslaught of imported music channels that actually showed music and dedicated themselves to variety not vanity.

[anarimus]

Internet killed the video star.

[macusual]

Fuck MTV, we have the internet.

[DimitryNazarov]

@macusual Fuck MTV [ period ]

[weepini]

@macusual I totally agree with you! Fuck yeah!

[1292liam]

[soeshy78]

I once skipped the Red Hot Chilipeppers to see Biosphere performing. Long long time ago...

[biohazardx321]

[beebul]

All the best ambient was made in the 90's

[admirs6]

I shat bricks in my socks.

I love Biosphere.

[Ottomatik0]

Is there a way to download or buy a high quality version of this video?

[PaulfromtheWest]

Beautiful.

[dampkamel]

I can't believe MTV used to play music like this. Those were the days. Before it sank into the cesspool of commercial and politically correct fecal matter that they call tv nowadays. Lewis Black said it best: "MTV is to music what KFC is to chicken."

[371971]

@dampkamel It wasn't MTV. Its Viva, music channel from Germany. Nevertheless you're right.

[Martinofredwall100]

5 missed MTV in the 1990's.

[Actar411]

I can't remember what scene I was writing when this song came on the radio.

[StonePhill]

snwboar73 respect mate...

[MonikaJanuleviciute]

1994. will i dream?

[clrrchrd]

One word - dreamy

[bloodyrockfire]

this stuff sound very cool;perfect atmoshpere;relaxing and enjoying the silence

[BOHODEVO]

Apophis and the Shield.

Researchers at NASA/JPL, Caltech, and Arecibo Observatory have released the results of radar observations of the potentially hazardous asteroid 99942 Apophis, along with an in-depth analysis of its motion. Apophis was briefly estimated to have a 2.7% chance of impacting the Earth in 2029. What about our shield ?

[adenps]

This track is awe-smasking!

Look up a these progressive/ambient songs by Music Pollution! :) Good stuff

(Partical Revolution, the symphony) Enjoy....

[PARHARIDOU]

Perfect!

[bassbytes]

I remember them showing this video on MTV UK in the early 90s when it came out. They even featured it on MTV News - something about the Norwiegan Government giving Biosphere a grant because he made music that promoted the landscape of Norway.

[piobairenagriosai]

Will I dream?

[krzysiek120663]

genial!!

[Mayonez86]

That was on television? :O

Beautiful times...

[nwm666]

i like mtv :3

[dbsugi1]

[gabbermikegee]

Biosphere on VIVA?VJ must fired;-)

[gabbermikegee]

[gurkensexshop]

i found a song some years ago in youtube ( watch?v=LQ6auXkYhzo )

and i guess biosphere made it could any biosphere fan help me please?

someone told me it could be also from orb and aphex twin

[aerobique]

niCe

[specter130ac]

Chilllllllllllllllllllll OUT!!!!!! NOW I feel good

[Mechanix1911]

can someone tell me where is 1:55-2:10 or something like that... i know its in russia but what is it called and shit

[Lulzcaek]

Like what the computer says in reply to itself - What do you mean? - knowing that it cannot dream, but may wish to - by saying Will I dream? in the first place. Dreaming becomes a redundant ability and the word is just an empty shell.

[Lulzcaek]

I like when the SAL 9000 asks itself; Will I dream? What do you mean? It hints that dreams may become obsolete in future through possible augmentation to a sort of transhuman state, being so dependent on technology, which this video shocases - that we cannot dream, like being assimilated; Star Trek terminology, and simply use the term as an expression of wanting to.

[DementedEeyore64]

@Lulzcaek Love that movie.

[Lulzcaek]

The beginning of the song really captures isolation, isolation that is within an area of solitude. The solitude cursed through natures extreme weather patterns, yet the man made mechanical satellite dish being unaffected, and the shots of the space station show how we can counteract these harsh conditions through advancing technology, and by integrating it we ultimately pose as an unstoppable species that can adapt to almost anything.

[theUGS]

This track is stunning. Biosphere is what i aspire to when writing ambient tracks. People have lost the ability to think for more than a few seconds but this really opens your mind.

[jaketoledo]

will i dream? what do you mean?

[GlasOtNaroda]

WOW! A Global Consciousness! A Wireless Network! A Shield!

Greetings from Bulgaria!

[VasaaL]

the man, the legend ... Geir Jenssen

[xXnJoyXx1]

So deep . Just Biosphere

[Buschemi22]

+1, that deep sound is what Biosphere is all about.

[WC3POchannel10A]

I caught the voice of SAL from the film "2010." SAL, the computer sister of HAL. "Will I dream?" Just before that, hearing the Russian (?) voices made me think I was on a Soviet (if there still could be one) space ship somewhere in deep space. Nice.

[revsjef]

Biosphere is just magnificent. Norwegian electronica is really nice.

[Sweetohm55]

5 stars

[APFSDSDU]

it's -15 here now, so i felt it was fitting:)

[heatworm]

Great music!

[whatshendrix]

This makes me feel like I'm about to get abducted by aliens - gives me the creeps, but it's beautiful. Fuuck xD

[AnyColour91]

...while on some kind of legal/illegal drug!!!

[WinterTitan]

Oh this is so relaxing...

[DeepInsideMe1]

I'm speechless... :)))

[Entity1490]

It's astounding to know that MTV once featured music of this calibre, and not just mainstream hip-hop and rap which is present these days. I doubt you'd see MTV playing music like this anymore, but then again: who needs them? At least I don't.

[pod118]

@Entity1490 I say we need a worldwide TV channel playing ambient/psychedelic/chill/etc music 24 hours a day. We could end wars with that kind of peacefullness!

[snwboar73]

MTV is more like corporate music tv. They're owned by Viacom so they generally play artists that are supported by the companies viacom owns. It's why mainstream sucks these days. Have you heard the shit on the radio? Can you actually call that music???????

If music is a medicine, the shit on the radio is like Advil, it might give a quick fix but it isn't anything special. You'll forget about it in a second. Real music is like a hallucinogenic experience. It is beyond belief.

[yoootyooob]

@snwboar73 Well said !!! :D

[neocoders]

@snwboar73 Yes real music like this encourages individual interpretation, while MTV opiates just program it, intentionally, in order to keep people in commodity-mode.

[croscream]

@neocoders

Wait 5 years when the old media dies and people make the final transition to the web.

[Buskieboy]

@snwboar73

I think there is a horrible "American Idol" infection on radio these days.

It's all tasteless pablum for the teens now. You say it's Advil, I say it's worse.

It's a sugar pill; placebo. Yuck.

Mainstream radio doesn't have the balls to play this stuff. Now, you want some good listenin'? Stick to college/university radio! You'll find this and more!

[AqualinespiritPL]

@snwboar73

Actually "music for the masses" - played by MTV or VIVA is not shit. It is well designed tool for social engineering. Google - "Tittytainment".

[vef444]

@AqualinespiritPL Big thank you my friend!

[robvanmol]

@snwboar73 You formed it very good my friend.

[f1zzrawr]

@snwboar73 never heard any1 say it better. AMEN brother

[Qinuito]

@snwboar73

@snwboar73

Well said, most of the music u hear on the radio or television is a lot of crap. Music used to be an art expressing of emotions, feelings, thoughts threw sound.

Then u got today's pop music, only made for money and the performers only play music because they want to be famous. Fuck mainstream crap with their stupid hip hop and cheap dance music and all there talent shows with people having no talent.

[hobhouse1]

@snwboar73 Great comment man - spot on.

[godofwar007]

@snwboar73 holy shit man. i couldn't have said it better myself

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

@snwboar73 great comment

[ChrisGhysel]

@snwboar73 I don't think anybody will get a higher comment rating on this video ever. Prepare yourself to get comments on your comment untill the end of time... ;) Thumbs up number 93 my friend, and counting...

[OrganicThumb420]

i have decided to make it my lifes mission to open up a hundred youtube accounts just to thumbs down him back to 0. I will follow him around youtube through his recent activity log and i will make sure he never recieves the recognition he deserves. Ya thats right I am a comment hater. I hate people who get thumbs up on their comments.

[crazymarf]

@OrganicThumb420 so when you thumb down someone you love them? :)

[OrganicThumb420]

MTV is more like corporate music tv. They're owned by Viacom so they generally play artists that are supported by the companies viacom owns. It's why mainstream sucks these days. Have you heard the shit on the radio? Can you actually call that music???????

If music is a medicine, the shit on the radio is like Advil, it might give a quick fix but it isn't anything special. You'll forget about it in a second. Real music is like a hallucinogenic experience. It is beyond belief.

[OrganicThumb420]

i just came up with that off the top of my dome

[Actar411]

@snwboar73 Though I disagree with your simile comparing real music to a hallucinogenic experience, I do think that real music should invoke emotions and images in your head. If you are actually seeing images when the music is playing you may be on drugs, or you may be a synesthete. None the less Biosphere is very good.

[davestechnique2]

@snwboar73 Wow! And With That In Mind You Nailed It @snwboar73 Ha Ha Ha! You Are So Darn Right I Totaly Agree By MTV & Viacoms Bullshit. Here On The West End Of These's Divided States Are Not By Far The United States California's FM Radio Is Stuck On Pure Stupidity Always Keepin The Crap That They Claim Is Music I Call It Backword Kalifornia. That Is Why Music Of Global Underground & Of The Electronic Arts Is Why We Have YouTube & The Internet We Must & We Will Thrive In This Industry D'ss

[danicanico]

@snwboar73 thank you.

[OrganicThumb420]

all i miss is puck

[popcsev]

@Entity1490 It's not MTV. wikipedia Viva_(TV_station)

[kaipakta]

@Entity1490 ah, but the point of that was to get people who didnt know about the band to listen to them. Biosphere could change a lot of things if MTV showed it. I would love to hear this on the radio!

[Secondlifecreator]

@kaipakta

Minimalism is just not a mainstream gerne of music, MTV thinks about one thing and that is numbers as in $. A lady Gaga makes more then a Biosphere for there wallets. And to be 100% frank this is you like or totally dislike it (i got all his work) Levende Fangst is properly one of his best works i have. To bad it is not on youtube :/ . And i agree with Organicthumb, the mainstream music utterly sucks these days.

[kaipakta]

@Secondlifecreator I never said it was mainstream, I said the opposite. The point of the old MTV was to bring NEW genres of music onto the playing field. I am talking about the OLD MTV, not the new stuff.

[DarkFulanito]

wonderful!!!!!!

[DizzerJoz]

what CD was this on? Patashnik? Gotta buy it : )

[solaarr]

Exactly. It is from Patashnik :)

[MiScScully]

I love Biosphere! Everything is just so in place and makes you listen to it over and over again!

[yurt5]

Wonderful stuff - most of Patashnik is grand. Splendid they played such things. Oddly enough MTV UK used to be alright in places - they had Alternative Nation with all sorts of videos for things you'd never guessed had videos. Presented by 'Toby' in a warehouse. Probably on youtube somewhere.

[sq7ro]

max for this track!

[julianlee2]

what channel is this

[xelha24]

Viva TV from germany, when it still was an excellent music channel.

[julianlee2]

now it sucks?

[xelha24]

A lot! It is now ruled by MTV Germany.

[julianlee2]

ah fuck man....MTV SUCKS

[VasaaL]

fully dito :=)

[AlexisNembrode]

[grindcorenl]

[juddboy80]

[lardosian]

Remember this from the days when MTV actually played good music, love this track.

[FlatEric03]

Anyone ever noticed the vast amount of samples on this album are from the film 2010?

Great track and great album though!

[PullerPranke]

[Loyalbrox]

Ups, you can tell I'm at work :)

What I meant to say was that "this track deserved a better video and I'm sure it would have ruled the charts had there been one..."

[Loyalbrox]

Timeless classic. This track deserved a better video and would I'm sure it would have ruled the charts had there been one...
