The Flashbulb - Rain

[NolimitZ81]

kinda reminds me of nin - the great destroyer

[watcherthatboxer]

The last moments of the song are odd, but I like how they add to the actual idea:

The name is rain, and you can almost hear the rain dropping on the sound equipment, muddling the sound. Very clever

[ThePiercepick]

the lightning looks like an oblivion gate from elder scrolls............ yes im a fuckin nerd

[meddeyc]

Isn't 'intelligent Dance Music' a really pretentious way of describing music? It just puts a sour taste in my mouth!

[Davedz91]

@meddeyc at least it's accurate

[Jivje0is0pr0]

@meddeyc True that! Aphex Twin: ''I just think it's really funny to have terms like that. It's basically saying, 'this is intelligent and everything else is stupid.' It's really nasty to everyone else's music. (laughs) It makes me laugh, things like that. I don't use names. I just say that I like something or I don't.'' ( "Interview by Jason Gross". Perfect Sound Forever. September 1997. Retrieved 2008-06-14.)

[SadaViisteist]

this kinda relaxed me from school today... the teachers in my school are fkd up... (math, physics and a few more) but the school and classmates are good... but damn! the teachers are fkin annoying alot of the times and can get u stressed and when that happens then stuff like this is good to listen to :) works better than any other kinda music most of the time....

[nimrodms]

He totally ruined the song at that last minute.

[Smokie1306]

@nimrodms

word

[Smokie1306]

crazy shit but very nice

[sir4ki]

never heard about IDM, but its f*kin amazing!

[TYRONEBIGGLES]

INTELLIGENT DANCE MUSIC OR IMPROVISED DANCE MUSIC is good! its good to take a break from all the peruvian flute bands in the radio these days.

[roflitsjosh]

Every download I have doesn't sound as good as this one. The bitrate on the one I downloaded is 8, that is fucking shit

[ravingFUEL]

@roflitsjosh

then show him some support......BUY IT

[AoyosHolY]

last minute is terribad.

[fearlessdan777]

it sounds like glitchhop and ambient had a buttsex baby

[cheesyballs]

@fearlessdan777 that wouldnt work, you know what they say "up the bum, no babies"

[MrCatfail]

Awesome O:

[tagerdinmoedom]

can someone please tell me the legit name for this music genre?

[vvav]

@tagerdinmoedom

IDM is what it's usually called.

[jadlerhalofan]

@vvav I was thinking glitch, but I'll look up IDM.

[SubGenesis1]

@vvav did you take inspiration from BT - The Antikythera Mechanism

really nice music btw

[musicman9881]

@vvav yeah its IDM, alot of people get post, and IDM mixed up

[diekontrolleure]

@vvav STFU YOU FUCKIN IIAR ITS AMBIENT YOU POIECE OF TRAHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sillybilly972]

@vvav But you could call it Glitch Ambient if you wanted to be more accurate

[MasterExploder61]

@vvav IDM is a pompous throw-away term. This is breakcore.

[vvav]

@MasterExploder61

I'm starting to think it doesn't matter at all considering I've been corrected four times with four different genres. Fuck your arbitrary classifications. It's music.

[TheOReport1994]

@tagerdinmoedom

music genre: EPIC!!!!!!

[emersive]

@tagerdinmoedom IDM



[emersive]

If you are interested in finding more music like this some artist to look at would be: Squarepusher, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, System 7, Autechre, Jega, Ulrich Schnauss, Venetian Snares... There are tons of other artists in this genre.

[the14th]

@tagerdinmoedom Prolly go with ambient trip-hop

[yos2481]

@tagerdinmoedom i heard it was Glitch.

[tambys123]

@tagerdinmoedom glitchstep xd

[fleedermouse]

@tagerdinmoedom glitchy as all get out so glitch/glitch-step...as far as I know Aphex Twin and probably some contemporaries of his developed this sound in the mid 90's

[DubstepFox]

how could anybody dislike this. seriously?

[Robben911back]

Nice picture. It matches the song perfectly.

[Henkerxp]

sounds like tetrisphere (N64)

[sortamessedup]

@Henkerxp someone remembers that game hahaha

[dFalcStudios]

i draw a lot of inspiration from benn jordan.

take a listen. soundcloud(dot)com/aedc/nature­-loves-courage

[vulkein]

@dFalcStudios your link wasn't working so I searched for it. Was it Nature Loves Courage

Uploaded byAEDC?

[vulkein]

[dFalcStudios]

@vulkein

[av3nger3]

Sounds like Portal 1 music by Kelly Bailey.

[vilniufyu]

Thanks for making my life, Benn^^♥

[Dwetzstein]

[av3nger3]

@Dwetzstein

Your cunt?

[vulkein]

@av3nger3 it tastes like tacos!!!!!!!! o.o

[TheYeahIDo]

@Dwetzstein That was... weird, but I understand what you're saying. (:

[kklol0]

[DJRaphy]

Amazing track

[thespankbass]

V U L

[icedfirion]

the music fits nicely.. its actually raining.

[xxcdemon08]

the 9 peope that disliked this were struck by the lightning in the picture

[BlackMetalWarewolf]

@xxcdemon08 haha, what an original joke... you are

[xxcdemon08]

@BlackMetalWarewolf haha, what an original fag...you are

[zurijohn]

Not his best.

I prefer Undiscovered Colors and Tomorrow Untrodden.

[milkyhendrix]

@zurijohn brown #12 from this same album....absolute genius :)

[bohmana]

wow ´really creative

[MshizzleM]

M³ <-- isnt so hard

[Ex0rz]

I turned my sound up for the last 10 seconds to hear it properly :O Not down!

[AliceInWonderland901]

it's actually really beautiful song.. :)

[cupdrums]

sounded kinda boring at first, once 1:45 came, i was hit by a truck. fuckin awesome

[PorcupineFloyd68]

"You might want to turn down your sound for the last 10 seconds."

Never adjust the volume half way through a piece. You are physically changing the dynamics and imposing your own ideas on the artists work. It ruins the contrast of the piece, and the listening experience.

[Obiwan198]

breakcore music is breakcore

[sybow]

Such a random notes.. at least.. thats how most of flashbulbs songs sound.. but when u really listen to it.. you can easily can a good rythm out of it.. which is.. genius.

[robertcuthbert]

Soooo amazing. I want to listen to this permanently.

[shandem1000]

i love it!!!!!!!!! does anyone know what style is this?

[weatherkop]

@shandem1000 it's called whatever you want. There are no rules here. All you can use really are the artist's influences. It's like a tree with many branches that all come from the same roots, soil, conditions of nature.

[isaac0000]

@shandem1000 this sub-genre is known as IDM (Intelligent Dance Music).it's an amazing style of music!

(just to be on the safe-side before someone replies, Breakcore is part of IDM)

[theleatherface12345]

anyone know where to download this song?? its awesome

[BetaStationX]

@theleatherface12345 a bunch of his albums are still available through the artist's label : Alphabasic(dot)com you can buy em super cheap there and get it in the highest quality.

Also, Itunes tends to fuck up the tracks and take more than enough money from the purchase from themselves, so steer clear ;)

[theleatherface12345]

@BetaStationX

Thanks man i'll do that

[BetaStationX]

@theleatherface12345 Awesome, you'll find some artists that sound a lot like him too but some of his albums are not available there since they're that rare, especially the older ones from the EARLY 2000's, those you might wanna google around for, or just PM me i have a link to the ones not available for purchase.

[Ethercloud]

@BetaStationX im looking for his rare stuff, i got Binedump Ep Vinyl, Flexing Habitual, Fly!, Girls Suck but you Don't, Kirlian Selections, Lawn Funeral EP, Legacy 1995-2000, m3, Red Extensions of Me, Resent and the April Sunshine Shed, Reunion, Soundtrack to a Vacant Life, and These Open Fields. What am I missing?

[BetaStationX]

@Ethercloud Arboreal, Ephedrine EP, Drain Mode=On, That Missing Week EP, programmable Love songs, and all of the albums under his other Pseudonyms, Untitled Dj Creations, Lousiana mourning, Yencat, Sielle and a bunch more, his rare stuff is incredibly numerous

[sk8freak51392]

dude, everything i've heard from this dude is amazing

[rafalgvlog]

so good that up sick

[Ethercloud]

:_) so unbelievably awesome

[watcherthatboxer]

I absolutely love how near the end of the song, the sound deteriorates in a way like it would sound if rain was falling and glitching up the programs that produce the sound

[MusicalIllness]

Beautiful musick!!

[qwasd0r]

Perfect along with playing EVE.

[6ii9]

@qwasd0r YOU FUCKING

AWESOME GUY

i was going to say that too <.<...

[7jibber7]

what's eve?

[NinjaOnWeed]

Eve is a space themed mmo.

[7jibber7]

kind of lame

[WhenWhiteRabbitPeaks]

nah, you're gonna want to turn it up at the end, the sound cuts right through you. it feels awesome

[NSKOful]

the flashbulb make some very good music i love and i know all his tracks........but i prefer "squarepusher"....u must listen if u like flashbulb is so AMAZING!!!!!

[Schepsel]

[metaknight2550]

[ChaosUnown]

This is truly beautiful! I couldn't expect any less from The Flashbulb but this is very incredible! The mix of ambience with drill n bass is truly genius!

[RoelofKenth]

looks a little bit like Autechre.

[Joeey]

on another track, shades of Boards of Canada, which is not necessarily a detractor. this track is a little difficult to listen to.

[BannanaBeans]

[jackassjit]

I love this song so much. Can someone please send it to me or something. PLEASE

- AIM - rockinwhitey777

[robmcman]

why dont you go buy it. These people dont make all that much money, they're not on a huge label, give em some respect.  Or not, whatever

[GeoffonTour]

you can't buy it - his label is having trouble getting royalties from itunes so he says download it and if you like it donate him some money

[HorrisNorris]

actually he sais he doesnt mind downloads, but hed sooner you buy it off his website, or download and donate to his website

[macdaddymomma]

Mattt!!! It's John Caroline!!..Crazy I Found You On Youtube!

[acidmaker1980]

dream drill n bass; i will more

[The3rdPlateau]

that wasn't me posting it was my friend I love the music but he doesn't!

[The3rdPlateau]

haha i like the tags you used.

[Mmichaalek]

aaaah I like this so much! beautiful music :-)

[pia06dt]

amazing. where do you get these songs from? i've looked on amazon and itunes but only a couple of albums are available... and not this song. help!

[OpiousOverhell]

Unlike the "music" on top of the pops, you won't find this where you would normally find the rest of the trash (with the receipts), but the point is...

If you like the music then you find the music.

[breaks1200]

if you guys like this check out wisp - out of season... i like hybrid and squareousher too...

[Soolsma1]

holy fuck, eargasms

[Lolknos]

The part with the piano (1:30) made me cum :):):)

[kazzablanka]

[Ecalypse]

[mads18]
