And btw, real dubstep is not the shit you hear by Skrillex and crap. Look it up. Don't let them ruin the genre for you. Listen to Window Seat - Bassnectar. So beautiful.
This makes me sad, seeing all of these people hate on music. There is beautiful music in every genre. I have heard some beautiful dubstep that just blew me away, and beautiful progressive trance that brought me to tears, and stuff like this that just shatters my world. Yes, there is lots of shitty commercialized music out there. But let's not mar this wall by complaining and attacking one another. I just cried watching this, and that is the point of this music. Enjoying the beauty set before us.
Amazing how hard it is to get hold of a copy of this - I guess it must have been deleted. Real shame - one of the most amazing albums I've heard in a long while
how come this CD isn't for sale anywhere. not digitally or physically. i just want to get this CD legally, but i haven't been able to find it. if anybody knows where to get it, message me. otherwise i'll have to torrent it i guess
@EtherealEntity6 thx! better used than nothing i guess. i never understood why it was so hard to find even though it is considered one of the best electronic albums
@DaNorthernLight Yeah, to each his own, I guess. I'd make the argument that Nirvana has complex lyrics, but they really don't, and even Cobain said so. I still enjoy them though, and I love The Beatles.
I must respectfully disagree and say that, in my personal opinion, Nirvana did for music 20 years ago what The Beatles did for music 50 years ago. Granted, I am an American youth. Then again, my mom's forty year old friend who lives in Belgium loves Nirvana, so it obviously appeals to more than just the "young & frustrated generation of American youth."
Also, Slipknot is not grunge; it is shit. And dubstep is boring.
I dunno, I think the genre has a lot to offer. Even then, why does a song have to be deep to be worthy of impact? Look at bands such as Nirvana who mostly rode the popularity of their genres, they ended up making some great tunes. Generalising quality by genre [heh] is mad - it describes the sound, not the content or integrity, and least of all the quality of the artists. I don't care how popular dubstep is, I don't care people like it, I just think the squabbling is ridiculous
I love This Binary Universe - I'm not a big fan of BT's other work, but that's alright, just not my thing - But - And get this - I'm a big fan of dubstep. I'm a fan of Daft Punk. Of Deadmau5. Of Muse. Of Tool. I like a whole load of music, why must people feel it necessary to insult the tastes of other people? Everyone has their own tastes, and it's just a matter of personal preference. There's no need to be such a douche about it, y'know?
@eTranscendence woo you really have some personality issues, who fucking cares about your opinion on other music styles, dubstep has nothing to do with this, just let other music be for what it is and don't be crying on youtube in a childish "Stop liking, What I don't Like!!" kind of trend.
This music is on a level that in which most people cant understand. How can someone hate this?? This guy is a genius and is ahead of his time. YOU GOT SCHOOLED when you listened to this. Taught a lesson on the beauty of music and the endless possibilities that there are.
@jyTiliDie most people love to hate.. at least they love something.. me? well for starters I love music and this video :) Don't know how anyone can have any part of them hate something while listening to this it really is sad.. I don't know how someone can possibly have a closed mind while listening and watching something like this I just dont get it!
We have to accept that music like this never gonna be mainstream, it never was. The shit that is on the charts unfortunately is a reflection of what majority of Human kind wants.
It's truly sad that this, and the other songs on This Binary Universe have such little views. What the fuck is wrong with people? Think of how better the world would be if more people appreciated music like this, and less music like the meainstream crap they pump out now.
This is what instrumental type of music is supposed to be like. As you listen to the whole album you can feel all of the emotions the sounds portray. The videos the groups made for this album are phenomenal. The music creates a story without needing any words.
Minus the arguments. You cannot come onto a thread like this and compare a genre to BT. Appreciate the craftsmanship and let it be, because his sound is unique and something out of this world.
@musicISlyf1 haha word, I listen to dubstep, both the more classic stuff like Mala and the brostep stuff this crab listens too, and I will admit, most brostep is really easy to produce. Its not hard to throw together a track and have it come out like Rusko because....well...Rusko is a trash producer.
the iron butterfly :D man this is one of the best BT animated character ever y love the part when the iron butterfly start to inhale air with his toung out :D
Before i heard BT''s music i didn't think it was possible to find the music perfect for myself, a composer or artist who's tracks my musical soul was searching for. When i first heard this album my life was literally changed for ever. Some part of me realized that what i was listening to was truly the most evocative and powerful bodies of music i had ever and will ever hear.
It's beautiful. The music, the artwork, the intricate feeling of calm that BT puts in... if only more music was like this. You don't have to use drugs to enjoy this song to the fullest.
watching this on youtube doesn't give this video much justice. to truly appreciate the fine details you have to watch it on a blue ray disk and a 1080P tv. then it's beyond mind blowing.
Yeah, super cool bro! I bet all the hella cool people listen to just Dubstep. I wish I was as cool as you man! I bet the Dubstep you listen to is the shitty and unoriginal endless parade of "Grimey" bilge being churned out in cookie cutter fashion by dubstep artists. With pompous breakdowns, egomaniacal voice samples about how awesome their track is supposed to be and overtly in your face "Try Hard" wobble bass, that becomes a cacophony of shit.
@eTranscendence hey would it be cool if instead of arguing on youtube, we all just got along and enjoyed whatever music we like? i'm a huge fan of dubstep. This stuff is great too! I feel like neither artists would want us arguing tho. I think this music is for us to enjoy! what do you think?
@TheHandsomeCrab Your cool buddy. Go back to your fucking frat house where you belong where you guys only electronic music playing is Dubstep and the Chemical Brothers. Grow the fuck up and appreciate music when you see it.
Everything in the video is an embodiment of dynamic symmetry, along with some encompassing concepts. First you have a flock of white doves, which are symbols of peace and the Holy Spirit in Christian theology and also have references in other cultures and religions. Then you have a bio-mechanical creature in flight with them which most likely represents not only a symmetry between humanities flesh and machine but also the human spirits desire for peace and freedom.
After a long flight they come upon and island with bright lights beckoning. The lounge scene again is replete with the symmetry. Leftfield jazz robots with faces awry in a manner reminiscent of Picasso's cubism seemingly trapped in a behavioral feedback loop. The scene then changes to a man floating in water with the reflection of the full moon in symmetry with his head, much in the same way it was with the flying creature. His facial outline melting into the moon and turning into an eye
This is clearly a representation of the "Third eye" or the spiritual eye. The scene changes again to spacial formations floating the night sky with a giant cloud of eyes atop a Venus De Milo-esque body. This again, is a symmetry between art, science and humanities desire to see everything in the universe. Again symmetry is achieved with galaxies being birthed by a giant machine. It continues until the end of the video.
@eTranscendence You are very intelligent having surmised so much form this film clip. I have always wondered what BT was trying to say through this and i think you opened my eyes to it so to speak.
You know this song starts smooth with synthesizers from 0:10 then 0:55 thunder comes at 1:02 then 1:24 a baby cries and the music gets loud at 1:28 then it loud at 1:48
A night in dreamland....
This is probably my fav track on the album next to the opener and closer, and 1.618. The jazz bits in there....SO GLITCHILY SEAMLESS...:DDD
