In my first „musical”
post I’d like to present an album of a Swedish duo – Carbon Based Lifeforms
called "Hydroponic Garden” released in 2003. It’s kind of a special album
for me, because it got me into electronic music in general.
At the time (2006 I
think) I was listening only to drum and bass, if we are talking about
electronic stuff that is. One day, my friend, who also liked to dedicate his
free time listening to music, started talking about a track that he had
discovered by accident on youtube. It was the third track of this album – MOS
6581. Then he showed it to me and, like him, I was blown away by it. We
listened to it a couple of times saying “Do you hear that?! That’s awesome!”
(well, I’m sure we used different words, but you get the idea).
Few days before writing this post I’ve listened to this album again to refresh my memory and I must admit that, after a couple of years, it is still great. I was listening to it at the train station and in the train and it was a nice travel. The delicate sounds of the tracks provoked a sensation of being a witness of this “theatrum mundi” instead of the normal perspective of participation in it, of being an actor playing his role. Such calmness, change of a viewpoint and temporary transcendence of the ego is a sign of great art, isn’t it?
