Eluvium - Indoor Swimming at the Space Station

[ADugas661]

The title is probably referring to the swimming pool used to train astronauts, one of the largest pools in the world I believe, (the space station being on Earth).

[MrOldestPerson]

to the people of the internet, im glad to be living at the same time as you guys, one day we will go, i dont know how will the future be then, but im thankful for living once in my life with you people, may we live and leave in peace

[CyborgNinja442]

@MrOldestPerson This comment would have been nice to read anytime, however I just happened to see it on christmas morning. Nice, very nice :).

[bluetigerltd]

I must have listened to Copia a hundred times, it's still breathtaking.

[Igosama]

Best song ever. Really peacefully.

[4Nightfox4]

I hope to god I get the chance to swim in a pool at a glass walled space station with this playing one day.

[Eagle1Division2]

@4Nightfox4 Wait... A pool in mircro gravity? How does that work? O.o

More importantly, what's the point?

You float around normally. And you can even breathe while you float, too, without the pool :D

[ToeKnee1512]

@Eagle1Division2 I'm guessing he's saying that he hopes to relax at a pool inside a space station (where gravity can somehow exist in the future) with the view of the vast space with this song playing one day, which i would imagine would be amazing :)

[Eagle1Division2]

@ToeKnee1512 The reason a pool is so comfortable is because you float in it, so why not forgo the pool and gravity machine and just enjoy the current, real ISS? :P

Someone should suggest to the astronauts that they try listening to this while in the Cupola on the ISS xD

(Artificial gravity done by making the space station a torus shape and spinning it, very possible)

[MorkaGraven]

@Eagle1Division2 You don't need water to swim. I think what he was emphasizing was the lack of gravity and apparent dream-like body-weight, matched with the soft and ethereal music, creates a vision of floating about inside a room void of gravity.

[SufferingLuka]

My question is, how can someone dislike this?

[lonesoldier91]

definition of ambient. one of the best songs i've ever heard.

[soldier4670]

@skulleton Okay whatever, you obviously didn't read my comment properly. I might as well delete it.

[soldier4670]

Next up, we have 'Outdoor swimming at the space station', oh wait, no sound in space.

[Poopfistful]

@soldier4670

Space STATION. There's sound in space stations!

[soldier4670]

@Poopfistful don't you get the joke 'OUTDOOR swimming' in space?

[Poopfistful]

@soldier4670

Oh! I should have read more closely. Now I feel silly.

[fetfahyogh]

I'm seeing eluvium on wensday with explosions in the sky. ahhh!. its going to be an amazing concert.

[G3aR04]

"No description available" never has a description been more descriptive.

[MrScubasuit]

If you like Eluvium, Helios, Hammock, Goldmund, Rachel's, The Album Leaf, Boards of Canada, and other similar artists, you might like my stuff. I'd love some support! :)

[dazeilinger]

what a great sound

[jjjeahh]

I'm 16 and listening to Eluvium. I honestly have absolutely no care that I listen to what my friends regard as obscure music. Quite honestly, I'm proud of the fact I am a free thinker who has the mental capacity to discover music that isn't quite mainstream and is suited towards my taste instead of following what others regard as 'cool'. Fuck those guys. I have actual taste in what I believe to be absolute musical genius.

[G3aR04]

@jjjeahh you have your own taste. You're right. fuck your friends and what they call music. Music is your own. Never let anyone tell you what you like. Let your taste grow. Sample everything you can. It's the only way to experience life. This coming from a 25 year old and someone who learned the hard way to like what they want.

[Rashy3000]

@jjjeahh what gave you the idea to tell everybody your 16? really man.. who cares what music you listen to when youre 16.. music doesnt half an age limit.. so eyah, dont give a fuck what they think of your music taste, if they dont like it well then thats immature of them.. and stupid, keep liking what you like and keep free thinkin bai :P

[MrScubasuit]

If you like Eluvium, Helios, Rachel's, Hammock, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, and other similar artists, you may like my stuff. I'd love some support. :)

[bluefrog17]

6 fags drowned.

[TheLeilisa]

swimming would help you grow taller ?

[lacerdatech]

What Eluvium be far touching?

beatfully,

bravissimo

[madtom1337]

Man wtf, levels... TURN THE PIANO UP SLIGHTLY PLZ. I mean it's nice and everything, don't get me wrong. The levels just kind of irritate me though.

[HarderMindStyle]

@madtom1337 it's supposed to be space, not levels and times

[madtom1337]

@HarderMindStyle What? Lol... I'm talking about the EQing... Seems like the piano's not loud enough... And I'm on Sennheiser HD25s

[HarderMindStyle]

@madtom1337 alright there pro calm down. music is a compilation of sounds, more or less sound waves; to your ears may be different to others.

[madtom1337]

@HarderMindStyle Lol. Why are you trying to define music? I just made the point that I think the piano needs turning up throughout the tune, is all. I think the composition is very good, I like it a lot, but when I listen to this I find the production really disappointing tbh. I think the same composition produced differently could be epic, whereas I think this is just ok really. The piano really needs to hit home more imo. But yeah, all opinions I guess...

[skulleton]

@madtom1337

Its supposed to subtle. For me it is epic, the imagery I get while listening to it is just incredible.

[halisray]

@madtom1337 I believe Eluvium is trying to develop some sort of atmospheric sound where all the sounds mix together rather than the piano taking lead, yet everyone is entitled to their opinions. Personally, I make similar music, and I have my piano volume a bit higher than this track.

[teentitans0789]

the end of this is scray!!! great song thou

[FloridaCarClubcom]

awesome track

[StricklyPhone]

Candidate for best track title ever?

[reshapingwork]

wonderful feelings..

thank you

[saad295]

I dunno why, but this track reminds me of the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". Would have fit in perfectly on the soundtrack.

[weeryan2008]

This is the most peaceful thing I've ever heard.

[Paulywhore]

@weeryan2008 This would be up in the tops but my personal fav would be The Dead Texan - La Ballade d'Alain Georges. Check it out.

[Instrumentals4Sale]

best track off the album,

beautiful track ..I'm guessing theyre influenced by Eno.

[mkl0202]

Woaw!!!!

[quirkyquirkey]

they are fairly boring

[quirkyquirkey]

needs better visuals.

[cw1980cw]

@quirkyquirkey

the music ARE the visuals, maaaannnnn....

[mrmattw95]

OMG!! Been searching for this for a long time since hearing it in Dead Set, like a few others here. 5 stars, faves.

[cw1980cw]

reminds me of heartbroken stuffed animals walking across endless rolling hills to find their childhood owners

[mrmattw95]

That's really beautiful. I can imagine that perfectly. :)

[BdizzleFaReal]

@cw1980cw That's a very interesting line man

[Arlitto]

what are you smoking and where can i find it??

[Akheil]

@Arlitto Grandy Daddy Greens from the Medical Marijuana store down the street...

[Brambleiah]

Please make a flip book starting in black and white and ending in color and film it with your video camera and add this song to it and then post in on Youtube. PLEASE.

[mrmattw95]

Why don't you? :@

[Brambleiah]

Not my idea. But, maybe I will... :|)?

[oliverjdavis]

@cw1980cw Thanks, you just made me cry!lol. Perfect image for the song.

[mosherdude91]

Heard it on the TV show 'Dead Set' last year, and I've been searching for it ever since. Finally found it, a phenomenal piece of music!

[kristinepheyre]

haha, i meant genius and the thieves, my god. ;p

[kristinepheyre]

personally, genius and the trees is my favorite eluvium track, but this is nice too. :)

[occamsrazor930]

amazing. simply amazing. a phenomenal track from one of the best ambient artists around.

[kimberlily1983]

My favorite Eluvium track.

[AngelsInFlight22]

I can't wait to get into bed and listen to Copia! Phenomenal track.

[claregarrity117]

i love this song but it makes me cry

[spookypig]

so why the but, just go with it.

[leshtricity]

hmm, interesting. crying can be cathartic i suppose.

[SilinceEverett]

Likewise. It has a strong effect on me also.

[Enceladux]

@claregarrity117 It's beautiful but also contains pain, as the most beautiful things do :)

[28summerland]

@Enceladux so very true. 

[shindakami]

it's like an out of body experience in slow mo...peaceful, beautiful, so good

[Uzixk]

I'm proud to say that I fall asleep to this song and also Calm of the Cast-Light Cloud every night.

[TanjaM6]

it took my breath away....just amazing!

[dawnuld1]

Fantastic. Matt Cooper is a genius.

[elusiveweirdo]

I doubt Deadpool will be uploading this track anymore, so might as well favorite it from here. It's so wonderfully atmospheric and dim, with that romantic and cinematic feel to it.
