Oh man. Discman on the bus. Those words punch me right in the memory.
Likewise, I had a period of time listening to daft punk’s discovery that was fairly transformative. It completely, with no exaggeration, overhauled my understanding and appreciation of music.
- donatj 6y agoGuessing the numbers on your username to be significant, we’re of the same vintage. Discovery, Radiohead’s Kid A, and Bjork’s Vespertine defined my late teens - an age that basically defined my musical tastes. It’s interesting how music does such an amazing job of worming itself into your brain.
- steve_adams_86 6y agoHaha, you're speaking my language. Kid A was just as high impact as Discovery. What a beautiful album. I agree. Those songs are so deeply ingrained in me that if I heard 100ms of them I could probably tell you which song I heard. I can barely remember how to pour myself a glass of water some days, but that music is deep in my brain.
- fumar 6y ago100% carrying around my prized possessions, discman + CDs or minidisc, was pivotal to who I am now. And always with me was Daft Punk's Discovery. At that age, the songs felt long but in a good way. I couldn't wrap my head around the undulating changes and how it they made music. I also love Homework but Discovery has been a top album for me since I was 12. Veridis Quo captured my imagination and was a big influence which I believe led me to enjoy artists like Sigur Ros.
