Ben Frost - Theory of Machines 2006

the title track is the most deeply affecting 9 minutes and 30 seconds i have ever experienced. it is like 9 minutes and 30 seconds of that moment when you get hurt and everything gets blanked out of your head. listen to it at full volume, with nice headphones or a really good bass-y stereo. it sounds like god humming.

update: turns out its exactly like 9 minutes and 30 seconds of the scene in apocalypse now redux where willard is talking to the french family at their table and then the main french guy leaves and its just willard and the woman and the sun has set behind her and shes all lit up and shes kind of looking around and then abruptly looks directly into the camera and her eyes like, fucking flash and its incredible to see, even though its only a split second. so 9.5 minutes of that.


update 2: this is it. this is the only song i ever want to hear again. i know it really doesnt do much, it doesnt go far, and it relies upon standard post rock formulas, but this is it. this song is fucking it. the only thing i may ever need. a lot of people dont agree, or at least dont feel it, and thats totally cool. this song is mine, and this is everything that i can still truly feel.
