lol...i have that track and the video. i cant watch the vid though. brings back old / bad memories. espically the part where the girl blows her nose and the snot is all green and blue... )-:

I guess i've had a similar idea about spirituality and EDM, especially with prog and trance. I think there's definitely something spiritual about some older (and newer) trance and prog tunes. I really don't find the songs played in church week after week that spiritual. Sure there's some really inspiring stuff and beautiful stuff, but I don't see it as awe inspiring or stuff that will just take you away. I just find instrumental music to have this feeling that vocal music doesn't, it just lets you imagine things without giving you anything, the message is up to you. I know some people hate it when I or other people on here talk this way about this music. If you don't like the way I talk about it, don't worry, it's none of your business to tell me how or what I can feel. I think it requires you to look beyond it being strictly this music associated with drugs, drinking or clubbing. I guess there's just something theraputic about some music and the overall experience with it.

The one that always comes to mind is Hydra's "Affinity (Thrillseekers Dub)", that tune gets me everytime. Yeah it's a few years old, but the whole atmosphere and melody and beauty in that track would definitely work in a spiritual-dance setting. I can just picture the early morning hours, as the sunrises and hearing that tune blasted in a half outdoor/indoor event, with people dancing, waving their hands in the air and just this sense of awe. I think this is an incredible feeling. I don't even think a church is the best place for this, unless it's really big. I can just picture this place by a lake or ocean, with a temple-like place overlooking the water. This place would have some big windows like some churches have. The sun would come through the cracks in the ceiling and windows, as waves crash upon the shore. This is just a lil bit of idea I have for an event in a place that is a mixture of a club and a spiritual/transpersonal retreat center. I tried starting a thread like this when I first joined here, it went okay but I think this is an approriate thread to mention it again after a year. I think it's a cool idea...even if it never really happens, but who knows...

Cool club, yeah I have something like this in mind but not so traditionally churchey. More like a tall, multi-level place that sort of resembles a temple or church, with different levels with different types of music, like a chill out room, mainfloor and some places just for quiet meditation and workshops when there is no event going on...

4 strings - revelation

kind of fits, I think.

um...wow...i agree with 100% of what you just said. i feel exactly the same way about trance and electronic music as a whole. This is the main reason that I feel that EDM is not like any other form of music. Actually…it could even be argued that its more then music. Its audio stimulation that creates visual cognitive images. When a simple melody or series of sounds can latterly take you away to another place without words that is TRUE ART.
…I love affinity… the breakbeat dub is one of my all-time favorite mixes. I have like 10 versions of the track. (-:

Cool, glad to find someone who shares some the same sentiments about this music. There is definitely something about this music that appeals to your sensory abilities. The stuff I love the most is the dream-like, emotional and melodic, stuff that just takes you away from reality for a while. Like a moment of zen if you will. It's also mostly instrumental so that just makes it even more universal, so people can get different things from the music. The experience will be largely subjective, as this music and most music is. There's nothing dogmatic about it, it just gives you this release, that I feel is theraputic and could be used in a spiritual or transpersonal setting. Transpersonal psychology is an area i'm getting into, which explores the relationship between psychology and spirituality and transcendent or mystical experience. Your from Detroit eh? I am too, well Farmington, like 30 or 40 minutes or so away.
