Absolutely Love this song . I write similar music ( no where near a good though) and find it interesting that s many people discount this style of writing as not being music ! FLA are magnificent !
This has become my all time favorite song. ...and that REALLY says a lot because I have a pretty big list of favorites songs. It also says a lot because it's the only FLA song to make my list. There are a lot of Skinny Puppy tracks, Legendary Pinks Dots and their various side projects that occupy my favorite songs list. THIS song though... the way it weaves so many spiraling layers together and gradually builds to this massive release of energy at end... that hasn't been done so well by anyone else (that I know of). From the first note, I can hear the rest of the entire song hiding, peaking out within the negative space. The super high vibrations coupled with the deep sweeps paint a vast landscape, no starscape. The polyrhythms work their way into your brain like electric worms. I have had so many deeply visionary experiences listening to this song, usually involving layers of fractals and deep space. Moving to the beats only enhances the visions, culminating in a massive release of energy at the end. Thank you Bill, Jared and Jeremy!
This is beautiful. The people bitching about elements inspired by dubstep amaze me. Yes, discount an entire album or song just because of a few musical elements. Makes tons of sense. Music snobbery is so ridiculous.
