RIP Mvuent

the Apotheosis of Ian.

I prefer to think of it as his Portrait... Just the beginning

I dont know if 'prescient' or 'influential' is the right term, but Enya seems like an important proto- for the modern milieu

 

[linebaugh]

the visible 'future' music of the 90's like IDM and metalheadz style jungle didnt have legs but there are still remnants of the melodies and tonal packages they were working with on top of all the wankery, which enya was already doing at the time. you could say this about all new wave music but its still impressive she managed to make the style fun

pour one out for the homies

I always thought this song was really beautiful, early Kendrick was capable of a lotta poignance

I like the idea of using Enya lyrics for the epigraphs of all my academic essays

"Who can say where the road goes? Where the road flows? Only time" —Enya

The socioeconomic realities which define our moment are threefold:

I'm sort of depressed that Enya is even getting taken seriously on this forum - she's the soundtrack to the final killing scene in serial killer movies just like Iron Butterfly ( Manhunter ), and who takes that seriously?


enya - orinoco flow - from US remake of "The Girl With The dragon tattoo"

It's OK William, no one on the board takes my taste seriously, I wouldn't take it as an indicator

 

[william_kent]

actually I love the use of In-A-Gadda-Da_Vida in manhunter, almost rivals its use in The Simpsons


The simpsons - In the garden of eden

lighters in the air!


manhunter - In a gadda da vida

they're american and also under the age of 30. the whole context is totally differnt. its like some mystical celtic plainsong to them

 

[william_kent]

but neither can rival the bargain bin disco version


Disco Circus - In A Gadda Da Vida / In The Garden of Eden

 

[william_kent]

but.. if it came to a head to head between Kate Bush & Enya, then Enya wins hands down, no coke bloat, didn't have to fuck the guitarist from Pink Floyd when she was 14 to get a record contract, and, what do you know, Enya lives in a castle

edit: Fred Vermorel wouldn't get across the drawbridge, let alone get to perve at the top of the stairs
( maybe @martin and @john eden will get that reference... )

it's a bit like me saying in another thread that arcane was the best tv show i've ever watched, sort of a joke because there are obvious reasons why it's considered very embarrassing but i also genuinely like it despite that. like craner saying he likes that one Whigfield song.

i'm worried about @entertainment tbh

thanks for worrying sufi, i'm perfectly fine.
