Okay so I don't know who else in here gets this, but... for any new period in my life or any vacation, there's a "flavor" associated with it. You know, the kind you can recall nostalgically by a sound or smell or whatever?

What tracks do you guys think are good at exerting a distinct, powerful flavor? For example, I think Wavy Gravy has that kind of pre-nostalgic feel.

Or do you think all tracks do that? I'm going on a camping trip soon and I wanna remember it trancefully

not sure what you mean...
kind of lost me on the whole wavy gravy being "pre-nostalgic"
it makes more sense if you mean that wavy gravy has a rather
"pre-historic" sense to it.

everyone's going to have a distinct track for each sense but anyways.
but solid globe- south pole gives me a numb flavor

I believe the phenomenon you are referring to is synaesthesia.

You're going to spend forever trying to define flavors of songs. For example, in order for wavy gravy to be "pre-nostalgic" as you put it you better at least define what "pre-nostalgic" is as I am quite lost on the compounding of those two terms. You might also want to enlighten everyone as to what makes wavy gravy "pre-nostalgic" as you put it.

In any event the linkage of periods of time/tracks to tastes is likely not due to synaesthesia but a forced association in your mind of sorts. Even if it was synaesthesia every synaesthetic person quantitizes the way it works quite differently so while you might think wavy gravy sounds "pre-nostalgic" others who share this "sound to taste" linkage will probably find it to have a quite different "taste".

Haha whoa... my bad. I could have worded that MUCH better. I certainly don't mean synaesthesia (although I'd love to experience it as a literal flavor!). By "flavor" I meant the set of emotional associations a person has to a particular time period.

"Pre-nostalgic" is quite certainly a stupid term. Instead, I quite simply mean a track that is likely to evoke nostalgia upon later listening. Now, it's probably true that ANY song *can* evoke nostalgia, but I'm looking for tracks that are particularly good at it-- it seems to me that there is variance here.

"Wavy Gravy" seems to have a quality to it (especially that piano melody) that makes it seem particularly well-suited. It's just got that FEEL. Sorry, I'm no good at expressing the ineffable.

not sure how nostalgic these would be to you but, for me, they evoke that emotion...:
