Tongues, sex, fingertips, hips, celestial travels, intergalactic visions, love. That is what this song is made of. Exactly in that order, as the track goes.
sometimes in certain moments when im walking the street while listening to this song, other bonobo songs and other songs wit this unexplainable genre, i wished the whole world could listen to this song and just stood still for a moment and appreciate all the things we've got in this life
I watched Crazy Stupid Love last night and i heard this song on there and flipped! lol I Couldnt believe bonobo was on there! Ive been listening to them for years and never heard them on anything big like that glad to see they are being heard
this and black sands are my two favourite songs. whether im on a come down, driving late at night, trying to concentrate, getting ready to go out, chilling in the garden, sunny, rain, hot, cold ANY time...this song fits perfectly.
Dam... yesterday I was watching National Geographic, there was this program about an island that is almost untouched by humans, its very clean there, no cars, bad gasses and such, they showed the underwater live there, all kinds of colourful fish and coral and stuff, and there was this nice music, I fell asleep on the couch.
i was listening to this song in the work and a guy told me to put more happy songs...???? what!!?? this music makes me very happy and chill and confortable how can he tell somethin like that??
i always imagine traveling through this city scape at night.. warm air stars out.. either in the back seat of a car or on the skytrain.. something smooth and fast.. watching the city go by
@mattfreedom2002 just found Bonobo a couple days ago and that's EXACTLY what I've been thinking - he's on par with RJD2 and Prefuse and all that. What a perfect theme: A skate vid shot and compiled like "The Collective" MTB docs - with Bonobo, RJD2, and Pref. featured... Gahh, that'd be so down.
@idiotjerkimbecile I love Prefuse 73, RJD2, and Bonobo, but Simon (Bonobo) has a greater variety of sound overall and in my opinion more enjoyable. RJD2 is more fitting to a skate video because he is more soulful and punchy then Prefuse and Bonobo. You just have to find the right song by him that is not too repetitive. Its not his fault, its that most of his songs are the instrumentals to rap songs by other artists like Aceyalone. Also check out Amon Tobin, Quantic, and Thievery Corporation!
why?, from the fact that your querying, the authentication of brilliance on this track, makes me not want to try to justify why this song is simply magical, so I doubt there is any real point in trying to give an in depth effigy on it, obviously the track itself doesn't constitute what makes a great song to you, but it does to almost 700 others so, i think I rest my case, the proof is in the pudding so to speak!!
this song gives me chills. ride the subway by yourself at 3 in the morning listening to this and start dancing... shit will send tingles up your spine.
Man people shouldn't act like you need drugs to have a spiritual experience.
ya sure it can thrust you, but you can achieve more clarity and bliss from studying your consciousness alone. You take drugs and you get tossed into a place and you don't know what to make of it, you aren't ready to be there. You need to work your way there.
Someone once said you can get much higher without drugs then with them. Duke and his attorney never accepted that notion..lol
Ye man i can see exactly where your coming from, but takin drugs is a different experience for everyone, maybe spiritual, maybe not. As you said you can take drugs and get tossed into a place where you don't know what to think of it, but if you do know what to think of it that place cant be the most beautiful place in the world, in which you would not be able to go there without that "thrust". I respect what your sayin, and i guess its all just a matter of opinion.
@woodwhips True, but you're never going to see people's aura's or feel their energy the way you can on mushrooms. I'm sorry, you just can't. Studying your consciousness will bring to the edge of clarity, but what about the clarity in chaos. Fucking indescribable. It is true though, that you can achieve things mentally sober you could never ever achieve whilst on drugs.
I agree it can be very chaotic and clear at the same time.. haha weird that way.
But also, I'm willing to say I can get "higher" from rare meditation experiences and my lucid dreams, though the chaotic factor is definitely not present.
@mcnultyfrank you must notbe able to here the relation between the music and the drums. very subtle it is. place close attention to the bass, it's the driving force of the song. if they go together, (drum&bass) then nohting else matters
It's not out of rhythm. It's called syncopation man, it's still perfectly in time, the emphasis is just on the off-beat. Speaking as a drummer, I think the beat is absolutely phenomenal and I'd much rather listen to this than the standard Kicksnarekickkicksnare variety.
@venusasaboy1991 Yeah i know man. Wrote this comment back in the day when i was a slight retard, still getting a lot of hate over it lol. Fair enough though, it was a stupid comment and this is a great tune!
....and if you want to get even more music-nerdy about it, it breaks into a hemiola pattern at 0:45. You can feel the bassline in a slower 4 pattern, and at the same time feel the drums at a fast 3+3+3+3+4 pattern (or feel it in syncopation). Two different rhythm groupings going at the same time = hemiola. Brilliant. :)
i hit dislike because it cuts short at the end. great great track. not so great upload. apparently youtube does this from time to time so you need to leave a bit of extra blank time at the end. x
Yep, it's trip hop. need to find out when I can go to one of his gigs as I don't think I've been to any trip hop gigs and I've known about him for years : (
