It was like being in a continuous blur and i kept wishing the bus ride would never end. The most intense feeling on a night bus was playing Monolake - Cinemascope for a whole winter.

It feels good not to be a one genre nazi for a change.

Too many vocals and not enough bass. Once you come to London you'll have to check out some of the dubstep nights such as DMZ, FWD>> and Rinse among others. There's still so much energy even after two years... far more than most techno nights. Crowd is always really friendly and drug free (apart of weed of course), which is a welcome change and kind of takes the pressure off if you're not up for having a big night.

I've played it a fair bit but it never gave me that feeling of _demanding_ to be played. Did you get your hood up while listening to the headphones on the bus at night aswell Ronan!? I agree that listening to music at night has a special quality to the experience, but I guess I do it a lot. The most interesting listening experience I've had in recent months was a couple of weeks back while off work sick I spent a few hours on an almost completely deserted vast expanse of pristine sandy beach on the west coast of Ireland on my own with "From Here We Go Sublime" in my 'phones. The sky was immaculately blue and it was a perfectly clear, sunny, cold day with no wind and beautiful mountains and scenery facing the Atlantic all around. I think that experience felt so special because the music helped me feel different in the way that it helped blur the edges between the ego and external world for a feeling of oneness and being less cognisant of your own self as a discrete entity. At night time I think as has already been alluded to music can help you to a special experience in the opposite direction, where you feel a heightened awareness of the ego, yourself and the music alone & tightly wound together versus the separate external world.

This probably draws us into the music a bit more. A sunny day will see a bit more skip in your step or you might roll down the car window and turn up the volume. It just means you have more to take in, on a multi-sensory level. And, maybe, there's something banal about every day goings on that fail to move you in the same way as a nightscape. The excitement of anything a person does can be, in my view, multiplied by doing the same thing at night time. Especially in a city, with the different lights and reflections, things like the music you're listening seem to take on a completely different resonance.

It's really nice to have an album (as opposed to just a selection of various different tracks) to listen to that you can just get immersed in for those long wet journeys to and from college. I've heard lots of talk that about Boxcutter album recently so that could well be my next step into the world of dubstep.

I was put off by the hype a significant amount, but when I finally relented and got a copy I was glad I did. Great stuff. I thought that while you could very obviously see the musical roots, classifying it into a genre is impossible (if that's your game) - it's the pure sound of the past and future. Try the Boxcutter album (Glyphic) if you're interested in listening to any more dubstep/related music.
