Great OST. You might wanna check out Oblivion OST by M83

I’ll listen through the whole album, only ever heard that final main theme. That one is epic…I’m transported elsewhere…then suddenly my dad will be waving over to me “hey can you take those earphones out for once…we’re out of milk, can you rush to the store?”…aaaaand I never left earth.
There’s a cool thx style bass drop sound that happens at 1:05 in this clip that I always return too. I know I have enough sub-bass going only when my brain is rattling. Lot of nice touches on the sound design of the drone as well.
@domq422 definitely not crazy, I was the same. Some reviewers were too harsh and it stuck at the time…people appreciating it more now. Thankfully reviewing has been democratised across different spaces, including audio! Look out for Tron Ares coming up

The OST is a certified banger although I’m partial to the reconfigured version. In nota big OST person and the reconfigured album feels more like a musical album which is prob why I like it more

Yeh I can appreciate that…mine was separated across multiple discs (and there deluxe editions etc…it got confusing hunting for it all).
Not sure if the reconfigured version has one of my favourites, sea of simulation (more a bonus track really but cool sound)

I knew I wasn’t nuts, I think the movie does a fantastic job at being what it needs to be, and that’s a visual and acoustic spectacle with some characters and easy to follow story thrown in there for good measure lol I personally thought the visuals were ahead of its time with the de-aging of the dude. By today’s standards, obviously it doesn’t hold up very well, but they’re in a video game, man lol people take movies too seriously sometimes.
Sea of simulation is a fantastic track. I just have a sour taste regarding the reconfigured version of the album, Thomas and Guy did not sign off on it and Disney released regardless of their approval. They were just flexing their corporate muscle on that remix album so screw them lol

Came for the sitar, stayed for the trance beat. Trippy video 
While on the electronic theme, just gonna very cheekily drop a few Indian electronica recs on the thread for the curious (and cos I can’t help myself 
). When I first heard this music I thought I was in the future…and now I’m in the future and am like nah, take me back to that special time when it was new.
Highly recommend midival punditz (veterans of the indian electronica scene). Also Talvin Singh, Badmarsh & Shri (DnB-ish) out of the UK. Here’s a couple favourites
Nitin Sawhney - Nadia - broad and eclectic artist
This below is the ultimate electronic chill track (elec nicely steps in towards end). Produced by 1 giant leap (UK electronic duo, one member from faithless). Featuring my favourite, Michael Stipe of REM and Asha Bhosle (famous Indian playback singer).
Lyrics with the Sanskrit Translation
Only Silence remains because I have to listen to him,
I have to listen to the silence. I have to experience him.
(Asha Bhosle)
Karmany evaadhikaraste ma phalesu kadacana
Ma karma phala hetur bhur ma te sango′stv akarmani
Paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam
Dharma samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge
(Translation:)
You have Adhikara (ability, choice) over your respective duty only,
But no control or claim over the results.
The fruits of work should not be your motive.
You should never be inactive.
Whenever there is a decline of Dharma (world order) and the rise of Adharma,
O Arjuna, then I appear (or manifest myself).
I appear from time to time for protecting the good,
For transforming the wicked, and for establishing Dharma, the world order.
Stipe:
Fall over myself don’t mean to interrupt
I was miles away
Things I forgot are the footstools of God.
That′s how I behaved
I frighten myself and folded my hand as you talked to god.
I love the way you dream. (x9)
Even my most base complaint my sweet, my aims were lower
And even though all my restraint my sweet my aim was clumsy.
And even if there’s only one thing I want for you… I want for you.
I love the way you dream (x 3)
I love, love the way you dream
I love the way you love the way
Even if there’s only one thing I want for you, I want for you…
I love the way you love the way you dream, one for me one for you, one for me,
One for you…

When scrolling up on the thread…I somehow got flicked straight up on to this post like its fate telling me to bring it up, to be reminded of what it’s all about. Appreciate the story.

I’m going to have to check some of these out once I get the chance, thanks so much for the recs, dude. My wife and I have always enjoyed music and culture out of India. For about 3 weeks straight we watched a YouTuber walk through the major cities in India from a tourists POV and it was so fascinating.
That story about my pops was almost a year ago now and I can’t believe it’s been that long. Since then I’ve had him over to have dinner and experience the Sundaras on the desktop stack and he was blown away. It’s all about the experience is right, brother.

Nice finish 
I’ve also had a bad experience at the airport (cracked instrument) and observed instruments being thrown across the air into cargo. Soul-breaking

Hey everyone!
I hope you guys are chilling, having fun listening to gear and music, and having a good 2024 so far.
It’s that time of the year again, CanJam NYC! I’ll be going again this year and I cannot wait, I am so pumped to be able to go back in with a previous experience under my belt and navigate the showroom in a more cohesive way. I’ll definitely be checking out more sources this time around, and managing my time in a way where I don’t feel rushed. I already have a little list I’ve compiled with all the brands and IEMs I’d like to spend more time with, along with a few Brands I’d like to touch base with but is there anything in the audio world you’d like impressions of? I did the same thing last year and writing down my thoughts and sharing it with the community was the best part of the whole experience. It was very memorable to me and I’d like to continue the tradition this year.
Drop me a line, let me know what you’d listen to if you went to CanJam and I’ll do my best to relay those impressions.

My most anticipated brand of 2024; Ziigaat
Thanks to @hawaiibadboy for the graphs of course
I cannot think of another brand in the IEM space right now that appeals to me as much as Ziigaat. Thieaudio has always been a brand that’s been able to capture my attention completely with their releases, but as of late, it just seems they’re doing their best to release multiple sets with similar sound profiles with just changing up the driver config. Ziigaat seems to be doing the opposite; Using a similar driver config. but with different profiles appealing to different folks.
The Nuo is a great budget set
The Cinno is one of my favorite IEMs of 2023, It’s become my EDC
And the Cincotres and the Doscinco has been met with good words across the hobby.
Just going by the graphs, the Jupiter might just be my ideal IEM… Little more bass body and less pinna gain while maintaining treble extension compared to the Monarch MK2? Yup. Sign me up, chief.
I’m hoping Linsoul brings a pair this weekend to CanJam so that I can put my theory to the test. I’ll make sure to share my thoughts on Sunday, Boys.
I hope everyone is doing well, I just wanted to stop by and get some thoughts out.
Cheers

Looking forward to hearing more - fingers crossed they are there. I’m right there with you on Ziigaat (with some slight reservations about the jankiness of certain elements of the Cinno externals/accessories, which in some ways were sub-Nuo - but, counterpoint, I know where I want a builder to put the real moneez). Really hoping Ziigaat doesn’t join the Silent Retune Brigade, bc I’m trying to stay master of my domain until after the harvest is in, lol.
