This song totally rocks. 

 

Circumstances beyond my control forced me to take down all my VNVN videos for a while yet more... ;( In retrospect, uploading Transnational a few days before its official release wasn't such a great idea... :facepalm:

It's always fun seeing artwork you scanned yourself show up in other places. :D

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

Very very short track. I feel sure many folks here will enjoy it.

tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Enoch, I picked up Sextant on your recommendation - great album.

 

Glad you like it!  It's my favorite of that particular Herbie group, largely because it's the most experimentally synth-forward.  The other 2 albums released from with that personnel-- Mwandishi and Crossings-- are worth a listen, too. 

 

Of course, none of those albums made a whole lot of money, and touring with a full early-'70s synth setup was a pain in the ass.  So, eventually, Herbie got frustrated and decided to do something a bit more mainstream, which I'm sure you're familiar with:

Thanks Enoch - I'll check out Mwandishi and Crossings as well.

So totally my theme song when I was a teen. :lol:

(I still can't tell if the "genres" they list are actual genres, or if they're making fun of themselves...)
