What was the last piece of music to totally blow your mind?

[tangerinedream]

As in, the last piece of music that felt utterly different and hit a spot in your head no other music had ever reached, that made you think 'Fuck me, this is good, in a way I didn't know I could feel.'

Mine was probably some Arvo Part stuff, which I'd really liked but one night I played it loud and it was a physically incredible thing. Not this track per se, but the whole CD as an experience.



Always here with up to the minute pop tips.

 

[Supine]

This



Sounds ok / normal for a while. Then goes amazing especially on a big soundsystem

 

[corieltauvi]

Less introspective but I was blown away by this short piece by Anda Union - Galloping Horses seen at Womad last year.
Turn the volume up.

 

[Blagsta]

when I first heard this



I couldn't stop listening to it for ages


New Swans album also

 

[Firky]

A long forgotten and recently rediscovered classic:

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Probably something by Mika Vainio.



(Needs decent sound and volume to work.)

 

[danski]

I gushed a little about this on here somewhere. I blame the vodka

 

[rutabowa]

this is pretty awesome

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Got to admit Lana sounds fantastic on this track.

414 Club last Thursday with two of the best sax players I've ever heard.

Last night when i saw this thread i was blank.... its a tall order: " hit a spot in your head no other music had ever reached, that made you think 'Fuck me, this is good, in a way I didn't know I could feel.'" Those kind of moments are rarer and rarer.....

but last year I found out about and went to see this Brazillian genius, Hermeto Pascoal. The live show was great, but I particularly love this video of him and his friends playing pipes in waterfalls...its a beautiful (spacecadet) thing,....



going to put my headphones and listen to the tunes in the thread...looks great...

 

[Orang Utan]

This crazy excess of proto re-edit/sampling loopines from Terry Riley:

 

[killer b]

oh yeah. That too.

A long forgotten and recently rediscovered classic:

[DJ Squelch]

I hadn't heard this til the other day, trippy acidy techno.
Butch - Nomad

 

[krtek a houby]

Gorgeous; dub got me with this one which has totally got into my head:



Can't find the album for love nor money (well a lot of money anyway)

 

[boing!]

Last thing to really blow my mind was watching Jonty Harrison perform a live diffusion of his electroacoustic pieces. Doesn't have quite the same effect listening to it at home on youtube though...

(not sure if that is actually Jonty Harrison either, but it's the closest thing I could find)

 

[killer b]

also, this - i've posted it before countless times, but in case anyone hasn't heard it: minimal acid techno. but made in 1973.

 

[Libertad]

Good little drone that, redolent of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" on Weld.

 

[AverageJoe]

The first time I heard M83, which was years ago in Australia when I bought this album. Here's the first track



And this, which is just brilliant

 

[Zac Stardust]

Nine Inch Nails, Ghosts I
