Title: What Album/Artist/Group Sends Your Mind To A Far Away Place? Post by: Newguy562 on May 26, 2012, 11:11:54 PM Everytime you hear them you picture yourself in a different world a beautiful(sometimes dark place) :) in a distant plateau..
Idk if anyone really knows what I mean..like a far away area away from earth..that if you close your eyes you can feel like your above it all or in a fairytale..(even a dream) I guess I feel that way when I listen to genesis & pink floyd :) how about you? which album or group or artist gives you this feeling every time you listen to them/it? These are my 2 examples : 1. Genesis - Happy the Man 2. Pink Floyd - A Pillow of Winds Title: Re: What album/artist sends your mind to a far away place?

To me, It's very night-timey and I approach it as a specific song cycle that describes a twilight view of the world, hence my mind shuffles off to this different plane. Similarly so with Doolittle by Pixies - again, these songs are very evocative and open you to a vision of a different earth. Title: Re: What album/artist sends your mind to a far away place?

Post by: Alan Smith on May 26, 2012, 11:39:39 PM I'm talkin' the whole album (although it's a close call for Stand), I rarely listen to individual cuts.
Ditto for Doolittle. Title: Re: What Album/Artist/Group Sends Your Mind To A Far Away Place?

I close my eyes and consentrate only on the music. By the fade out at the end, I'm so into it that it's like I'm floating. I literally lose my sense of touch/feeling. I also lose touch of where I am. I just totally zone out into another world. The solo section in Feel Flows does it too, but not as strong as in Till I Die.

Title: Re: What Album/Artist/Group Sends Your Mind To A Far Away Place? Post by: buddhahat on May 30, 2012, 05:14:18 AM John Barry's theme to the Nic Roeg film Walkabout does it every time. I find it an incredibly emotive piece of music. Maybe because the imagery in the film is so powerful too - not sure. Definitely my favourite Barry tune.

Even the more down-to-earth tracks ("Cowboy Movie", "What Are Their Names") have something otherworldly about them... Title: Re: What Album/Artist/Group Sends Your Mind To A Far Away Place? Post by: Peter Reum on September 04, 2013, 07:24:32 PM Kava Kon
