soft sad techno

this thread is like manna from heaven for me.

That Modernist mix someone mentioned upthread definitely fits the criteria. Just for 'Stay' by Autobianchi. Which is one of those techno tracks with really trite lyrics ('when i heard you say/that you would leave today/i only wanted you to stay') that somehow sounds affecting. See also - No Turning Back by Gui Boratto.

vibing on these two atm:

Contriva - Next Time (Jorg Burger remix)

someone other than poor ol theblacksheep needs to post here so: home entertainment by carl craig, low-rez skyline by swayzak, r2d2 by speedy j, sharp shooting on saturn by the black dog.

Everything on Blondie by Ada needs to be in here.

a lot of this isn't really sad

to edb... i think that maybe melancholic is a more appropriate word to use for this thread than sad...

maybe...

All I can say about this thread, aside from the o_O signatures, is that less, so often, is that much more.

i'm happy to know that there are still those who glance upon this thread once in a while - i was beginning to think that all eyes were elsewhere...
