Proper transcendent beauty. But remarkably it's emotionally very- grounded might be the wrong word- but relatable. It’s an interesting, very familiar, very warm, very intimate incarnation of the otherworldly. It’s clearly speaking to a higher state, it’s not of the everyday, but it’s not by virtue of blowing your mind or being alien. It’s just through the pure distillation of emotion and in doing so suddenly rendering it magical; it becomes archetypal and eternal. It’s not LSD/Dark Magus/Jungle stretching my brain across the entire parameter of the universe, it’s a magic night out or a pretty sunset or something. That very easy transcendence. An emotional transcendence rather than a cognitive one.
It's something we've brushed up against a lot recently. In the deep house thread I was talking about intoxication of the body, but not the mind; psychedelia felt but not yet thought as the drugs first start kicking in. What I was trying to reach in the 80's pop poignance thread and my 'beautiful songs' thread and seemingly what Patty's after in his best songs ever thread.. Music that can't be said to be of the world, but it's also not alien or third's 'shock of the impossible' or cognitive obliteration.
It also what I was saying in relation to Mobb Deep and Mr. Fingers; they uncovered archetypal sound worlds that weren't hugely innovative or mind-blowing, but were what you could call 'heart-blowing'.
