Listen to This Listening Club

[luka]

If you want to give me your best gabba song of all time I will play it the whole way through for you @thirdform because I value our friendship.

No. He needs to learn restraint. One gabba song.

tonight we are all going to listen to this forensically, with passion and minute focus, again and again and again until we have uncovered its every secret.

 

[luka]

maybe im being paranoid but i think it made my neighbours start laughing

 

[linebaugh]

perhaps some accompanying images- who and where this might be listened too

I see eight hundred topless, skinny, pale speed freaks with shaved heads going nuts in an abandoned factory in Poland or Rotterdam.

 

[yyaldrin]

the intro sounds a lot like the intro of this

your supposed to imagine things in your head and tell us about them.

 

[IdleRich]

the intro sounds a lot like the intro of this

You don't get many bands named after the fear of losing one's hair.

 

[linee]

your supposed to imagine things in your head and tell us about them.

 

[luka]

third if youre reading this that is a picture of a man pointing a pistol at a new age dolphin.

 

[IdleRich]

Or maybe past it at an enemy that's chasing it? Almost certainly not though.

 

[luka]

ive listened to it five times now. i like it but i dont think ive penetrated its secrets i will have to keep going.

 

[linee]

thirdform almost certainly has that dolphin image that tattooed somewhere

 

[shiels]

What’s required here is a full acceptance of the relentless mentalism gabba kick as a kind of ambience, as background. Once you afjust to that intensity the rest of the gabba song starts to Open up. Many other possibilities open up

 

[luka]

thats right its basically a plateau

 

[IdleRich]

But one you should be constantly reacting too (ie dancing) so it can't become too ambient.

 

[luka]

which means in a sense its not that mental. its not really a map of movements, its more a plane of consciousness floating above the body and all the bustling world. quite New Age in fact.

 

[IdleRich]

Well all dancing music is escape isn't it?

 

[pattycakes_]

Not exactly. Sometimes it's about travelling within

 

[IdleRich]

But it's escape from the world outside I mean. When you are in a club dancing you are not thinking about your daily life. I don't think what you're saying disagrees with that.

 

[pattycakes_]

Club music for sure but there's lots of other types of music for dancing
