Carbon Based Lifeforms -MOS 6581

[greeneggsandcram]

I like to crank this song, close my eyes, and soak in it.

[Bulldetektor83]

Stars are speaking to me!

[howmando4]

+1 for sidchips

[mjp407]

CBL have produced a number of excellent songs, but for me, this one will always be their #1. The feelings that this brings about inside of me are just very mysterious and special.

[windatekili]

@mjp407 it is the #1 in its kind

[theKonfusion]

this tune always put a smile up my face, whatever happens in my life, cant wait to see you live this summer.

[adamisajoker]

Fucking hate Fred.

[MrGsterify]

@adamisajoker Nobody gives a shit

[mikovable]

One of the best things of Carbon Based Lifeforms, but I enjoy "Central Plains" much more.

[illusive0224]

my new song for night driving through those city lights and bridges

except the siren trips me out

[mjp407]

This song always takes me to like the Middle Ages or something. It really is quite something

[burt2800]

Does anyone know what MOS 6581 stands for or what it is?

[molotovbliss]

@burt2800 The MOS Technology 6581/8580 SID (Sound Interface Device) is the built-in Programmable Sound Generator chip of Commodore's CBM-II, Commodore 64, Commodore 128 and Commodore MAX Machine home computers. It was one of the first sound chips of its kind to be included in a home computer prior to the digital sound revolution.

[burt2800]

@molotovbliss Wow, thanks for the great answer! :D

[PGHolmes]

@burt2800 Its a type of MOSFET used in sound boards.

[burt2800]

@PGHolmes Thanks dude =)

[mjp407]

holy fucking meep i love carbon based lifeforms

[orange8pie]

We as humans do not deserve this kind of music. Maybe a more peaceful species should.

[doug781]

This peas of art will never die,im in love,thank u artist and uploader ;)

[Mhg01jw00]

Wenn man einen schönen Tag beginnen möchte, dann diese Musik, großartig!!!

[101dontgetmestarted]

DEEP!!!! l'amour......

[60sjukebox]

This band has something nobody has, they make you glance into the deep heart of rhythm rooted in the universe, dive into the collective unconscious in which to find rest, peace and tranquility. Meditation insights and crystal dreams of pure water is what I recall listening to their songs

[rjdrays288]

@60sjukebox well said

[spaceabyss47]

There is no gay music.Only gay people.Music always takes you to unknown fantastic places.So take a ride!

[thereck24]

uhhhh Casey Anthony VEVO? GTFOH

[yh3e]

This music cures stress. But its weird that all my friends call this music 'gay' and boring. They don't understand I guess. Its frustrating but whatever

[JamesJablonski2008]

@yh3e there lost souls

[Xenodemic]

@thell878 Fuck them!

[boubalos101]

play this tune along with CBL - Comsat! sounds good!

[Astroghouls]

oh man, I'm feeling this one.

[Irremotus]

Where are the vocals for this taken from?

They sound so familiar.

[ernyzaz]

music industry exposed bought me in here :D

[likthug]

@ernyzaz hahaha me too

[ernyzaz]

searched for this track like 1 yer (: now i found it

[drostify]

nice

[underpass79]

excellent !

[patison4ik5]

Listening to this track makes me feel perfect... makes me fly away to the stars... out of this universe.. out of this world.... and only police alarm turns me back to the mother earth. Just awesome feelings.

[60sjukebox]

The most beautiful thing I found in youtube is that in the comments of ambient music videos people don't care about dislike and never say offensive things. All we need is love

[maxwellpassion]

@60sjukebox :)

[Truthseeker153]

@60sjukebox I agree friend

[vatinac]

@60sjukebox why can every comment be like your"s.??

[DarkNemesis25]

@60sjukebox so true! i love you man!

[xxxlOvEemOgIrLxxx]

I listen to Carbon Based Lifeforms whenever i need to concentrate, it helps me alot. They are unique, I absolutely love them.

[MrL602]

@xxxlOvEemOgIrLxxx interesting tracks as helping to focus and relax...

[Trentyboi]

What makes Carbon Based Lifeforms so different to everyone else? For months I've been searching for something similar to satiate my yearning for music like CBL, but to no avail. Asura, Bluetech, Aes Dana, Solar Fields etc., it just isn't the same.... Are they that unique there is nothing comparable to them?

[Ayevee39]

@Trentyboi Because they're the best in this genre, it's hard to find anything else like it. Have you tried Tycho? Let's just say if CBL is space, then Tycho is water.

[OPalmeiro]

@Trentyboi you should try Solar Quest. Its not the exact same thing but they are really good too.

[inachu]

I love CBL music but I really think there needs to be like a CBL Alternative version made for certain activities. For the lot load CBL sounds great for sleeping or getting ready to slow down for the day but then drum beats enter.....grrrr I'll see if I can make my own version of CBL using sound forge loops and also would edit teh loudness so it does not get overly loud. At volume three I should not have to turn down the volume to sleep! LOL

[Bubblenugget]

i thought this was going to be some alien shit

[cg8ball]

"this music is amazing" is right

[lawnmowerdude]

This music is amazing...

[unrealnils]

Shadowloo sent me here !!! 

[Italianlad69]

fuck the illuminati

[EikC]

@Italianlad69

All hail the illuminati. May the NWO destroy you.

[briggsley]

The sheeple are waking ;) kill your ego before it kills you!!!! And eat the RICH.

[TheFinlandnator]

I want this to play in my head forever or otherwise I might go insane.

[pr0zaccch]

Ads on Carbon Based Lifeforms 0.o

[ManicMike26]

thumbs up if the illuminati fully exposed brought you here

[TheFinlandnator]

@ManicMike26 The what now..?

[ManicMike26]

@TheFinlandnator hahaha

[WombleMan]

The female voice sounds like a Pokédex. Beautiful track otherwise.

[Nuthane]

@WombleMan ...whats wrong with pokedex's

[WombleMan]

@Nuthane I don't even know. I just hated it's voice. : (

[crooked1195]

where do you download this album please answer

[cactusjack901]

@crooked1195 You don't, you buy it.

[thefreehater]

DAY9

[zykour]

reminds me a lot of alan parson's a valid path :o

[psyexaile]

einer der geilsten chillout tracks überhaupt, flyyyyyyyy

[CaseyAnthonyVEVO]

This always makes me want to melt straight into the carpet.

[ToffeeTrees]

@CaseyAnthonyVEVO You are a god amongst men for that comment! =D

[zighacker1]

at 3:55 remembers me of mushrooms

[Epyx911]

MOS 6581...all hail the mighty Sid Chip...rip C64...

[harkonnen1981]

THIS IS ONE HELL OF A FVCKING SOUND!!! sorry for the caps...

[MaxeMouse]

Most people on youtube fell into the trap of 12 trolls.

[poiislifelifeispoi]

always good to go back to roots...

i love meditating to this song......

[MartianManhunter1987]

There's not many songs I continually revisit, but this is one of them. Made an instant impact upon me and continues to do so. These guys know how to turn music into something else, something undefinable.

[gargantuanrave]

This track reminds me of DEUS EX

[Xaq03]

@gargantuanrave

Royksopp - The Fear is Deus Ex sounding too, also search for "Granny's Spaghetti 3kliksphilip" on youtube for 3 songs that definitely have a Deus Ex sound to them.

[gargantuanrave]

"Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized within the week!"

[sawfan25]

yay horses

[natashawalker67]

Love the Music Simply Awesome!

[PsyRibz89]

NEW ALBUM watch?v=HZ7zkzXpf54

[msweat33]

Lost my ego to this song, it was amazing

[MartianManhunter1987]

this is downtempo music

[AryaSravaka]

@MartianManhunter1987 downtempo, mainly if u search for " Psychill" or "Psybient" u will find a whole lot of similar artists..heard CBL for the first time in Goa beach vol 5

[ShowsomeFury]

@AryaSravaka psybient? i've never heard the genre or parts of the genre called that. i'd consider it more ambient/electronica/newwave. but i'll try searching your psybient and see what i get. the more the merrier.

[sillybilly972]

@ShowsomeFury Psychedelic ambient - psybient. Normally it's psytrance with a little more chill and a little less repetitive beats

[gothicamind]

Ambient J love you :D:D

[angerrusland]

Ambient)))

[miloxo15]

@TheN1mj4

Im happy that this comment has so many likes!

[BeelaTeismar]

Minimal is great.



[GatherumSPD]

Gettin' mah swagga back with shit like this. LAWD HAVE MERCEH! <3

[shanny101]

really do not care the slightest who 'Day9' is, i just got here from similar artists to 'CBL', and i must say this song is fucking epic.

[PanORotta]

the fk is this?

[xanocide]

This shit is amazing stoned.

[Exiphi]

@xanocide Its amazing sober too

[walkeraj]

@Ayevee39: It's taken from a video called "Maintaining the Eastern Steppes Ecosystem in Mongolia"

[MartianManhunter1987]

can anyone transcribe what the girl/woman is saying in this song. Know its something about horse racing.

[Irrdial]

@MartianManhunter1987 To a Mongol, horses represent not only wealth and status,

They provide food and transportation.

To clearly see the Mongol's almost mythic relationship

With the horse just watch a horse race

The jockeys are children

The race course can be as long as 30 kilometers.

Magic powers are attributed to the winning horse

And spectators scramble to touch it

Hoping some will rub off.

Magic powers are attributed to the winning horse

[Ayevee39]

@Irrdial Wow, thanks for that, I've always wondered what she said.

[MartianManhunter1987]

@Irrdial

Cheers. Thanks for your help.

[gregrutz]

this video is broke.

[bobchillaxd]

i heard the beginning of this song in my dream, which i awoke from less than an hour ago. it was a trip.. totally changed the road.

[Yarnukin]

@bobchillaxd Some Dream huh :p

[TamedShadow]

I love this song, and I am growing tired of people connecting expression to drugs. I will say two things that completely negate any of this assnine acid nonsense.

Music brings us closer to ourselves.

Drugs turn us away from ourselves.

Get it? Now shut the fuck up about your way fo dealing with life, and listen to this work of art. Kthxbai

[RocketSpecialist]

@TamedShadow Well said! :)

[TamedShadow]

@RocketSpecialist If only I didn't typo it :P. I was too deep into my rant - aswell as this magnificent atmosphere. When you listen to a soundscape like this one; it's hard to notice benign errors when reality melts away through clear understanding. Sometimes I believe reality never existed in its own self, but through our ways of noticing only the bad things. When you hear something like this, it forms a catalyst that allow us to see something different. It breaks our tunnel vision as you will.

[Phonosinnthese]

@TamedShadow dont be so rude about 'drugs', it's all about the person who takes em! or tell that to some old native-american shaman and he will laugh his ass off u know.. but i perfectly match with your opinion about typing every single impression in youtube, folks, there are better places to be whilst on a voyage than the internet! just enjoy the music and better share the feeling of being connected! ;) =))) peace

[triplights]

@TamedShadow man if you haven't tried it then can you really say? the psychedelic experience can be a truly spiritual connection

[sunslastphase]

@TamedShadow im not trying to troll you, just want to give some food for thought. All things being equal, who's to say that you know better than them? Life is 100% edited and interpreted for your perspective, you can't get around the way your own unique past allowed you to grow mentally and independently of others. Now being that everyone's view on life is entirely based on their own perspective of it; how can anyone ever tell another what the right way to live their own life is?

[TamedShadow]

@sunslastphase I admire your opposition, and I do believe that there is no sense of 'right' and 'wrong'. There is, indeed, problems that people can avoid; but persist to keep promoting that problem as if it wasn't a problem. When clearly it is a problem. When everything you say can be contradicted--when everything you say can be shut-down by an answer that is as whole as a hole can be.. You realise that your 'opinion' is nothing but a blanket statement that is nothing compared to an 'answer'.

[LoneSoldierRyan]

i want this played at my funeral

[neurotek44]

great track

[MarkShadowWolf]

I love so much this composition... I am new in the world of electronic music, never listened to it before. This piece moves me so much. Any suggestion of something like this one? I heard south china sea, and it was really good, I listend to the "World of Sleepers" album, I've listened to "interloper"... I also like Kyoto - Forest Trip and Aural float - The Deep

[SirionRD]

Listen Cell.Hanging Masses. CD



[ausmitty99]

@MarkShadowWolf Check out Boards of Canada. They are by far my favorite chill electronic band. Songs similar to this: Left side Drive (masterpiece if you listen closely) - Satellite anthem icarus - In a beautiful place out in the country - Dayvan Cowboy - 5.9.78  - last walk around mirror lake - macquarie ridge - hey saturday sun - buckie high...just to name a few. Some of these are obscure and hard to find for purchase, but all are on youtube.

[bobchillaxd]

trip

[NakedPancake]

Yes Day 9 does have this kind of power.

[Tenshionnanoko128]

Addictive - I wish there was more of this kind of music

[Ayevee39]

CBL is the best Minecraft music. Thumbs up if you agree!

[narfplate]

So beautiful and atmospheric.

[waterspindle]

one of my all-time faves <3

[TheN1nj4]

10 people chose to express their own opinion.

why does everyone fucking make fun of people who dislike something. Who cares.

[matsutakneatche]

@TheN1nj4 I think it is a phenomena that happens when a tune is so effin SICK it just seems incomprehensible to some that a person would actually make an effort to dislike it.

[GodlikeGuitar]

@TheN1nj4 This is one of the most intelligent remarks I've read in all my time on YouTube

[lawnmowerdude]

@TheN1nj4 because its fun, I don't wright those comments but I enjoy reading them lol.

[Stangy6705]

sky high right now, bout 10000000080348 feet up, smoked some good green. god this musical masterpeice really just allows you to stop thinking about EVERYTHING in life and it just takes you somewhere beautiful

[666767]

@Stangy6705 nice try the super lemon haze ma friend

[FantastyckplastycK]

10 ppl r ass based lifeforms

[mjp407]

oh yes

[ahitra]

i think i will die!!!

[jockojonson17]

You SC2 guys who haven't heard CBL before, do yourselves a favor and get all 3 of their albums. They are inspirational. Nobody else makes spacey ambient stuff anywhere close to this good.

[Psyrius88]

CBL is a true inspiration for me when I create music. Please check my latest song called Fluorescent watch?v=AhrXGHDNOCM

[orioneriksen]

the winning horse gets the magic powers...

[WangTheGardener]

roll up a fat one. and listen to this..

[AKMETAL666]

@WangTheGardener ...And walk in the forest in the black of night haha. I just did this last night, it's fucking amazing.

[Tenshionnanoko128]

LSD in video format

[Kalj4]

so beautiful

[TheReapersSon]

I really feel that this is what driving through the city streets at night in a cyber metropolis ALA Blade Runner sounds like, but when you're high as fuck.

[TheReapersSon]

I've owned this album for a few years now. Who or what in the fuck is "Day 9"?

[PGHolmes]

@TheReapersSon

Hes a shoutcaster for starcraft2

[sugilith70]

this sound deserves more, than just a cover, me thinks.

[LeafySuburb]

Carbon Based Lifeforms? Aes Dana and Solar Fields Re far more impressive.

[lovedubpt]

Who the fuck is DAY9 ??

[The61648173]

@lovedubpt its a gay porn site

[neanderstalin]

@lovedubpt He... he is your father.

[kaine180]

@lovedubpt Day 9 is a video game commentator for the game starcraft 2... what that has to do with this song i don't know though ;/

[GINGreDesign]

@kaine180 Because every day he tweets some really awesome ambient/ minimal song.

[TheHmmster]

@lovedubpt Day9 is awesome, that's who he is.

[FFScantgetadamnname]

@lovedubpt

hahahaha i really didn't expect to see day9 anywhere near this video.

did he play this in a preshow or something?

[mocthegame]

@lovedubpt It's Sean Plott. Wikipédia it.

[skyaftermath]

@lovedubpt wat r u talkin bout ??

:S

Jus wondering y dis is the top rated comment

[SerbiaPsyTrance]

listen this on ecstasy and you will know what i mean !!!

[027Karunesh]

I remember myself looking for this music and found CBL's "Abiogenesis" and I guessed that I was close enough :D Wonderful music :)

[ddstar]

lol, all you noobs saying day 9 sent you here. How pathetic. You should of already knew this song, its a legend!

[theinflatableman]

@ddstar lol, all you idiotic music elitists are pathetic. You should go shoot yourself in the head. Legend.

[witzig89]

@ddstar Should have*

'Should of' is grammatical nonsense based on an auditory misunderstanding.

[CiaranMcVeigh]

I want this played at my funeral....

[lethiac]

If anyone here could point me to some other music analogous to this song it would be much appreciated.

[andrewneedsalawn]

@lethiac Solar Fields, listen to the album Movements.

[lethiac]

@andrewneedsalawn Good music, I appreciate it.

[lethiac]

Day 9 is a Starcraft master who likes carbon based lifeforms. EPIC, I would like to play a game with him.

[numbuh801]

I love how this song reminds me of Deus Ex :')
