Just got 'eye of every storm', yesterday, didnt have it before now. 'Eye' seems more 'restrained' than I was expecting, interestingly. My yardstick, it has to be said, is 'Given to the Rising', which is also consistently bus-journey fodder.Dean Aka Nekro wrote: Impeccible taste and yes it is an album that I listen to much to often but it never gets old, It possibly made 'The eye of every storm' the master piece it is. I can not wait for their new one,
Been alternating it with the Fever Ray album, which is one which surprised me.

In no particular order:
Adrian Belew's guitar in Elephant Talk
Bass line intro in Chameleon on Herbie Hancock Headhunters (and all the rest of the synths on the album too...)
Being in a really heavy snowfall in a forest with no wind when you can actually hear the sound millions of snowflakes make landing.
George Duke's Rhodes on John Klemmer's Touch album.
Waterfalls.
Fish jumping in an alpine lake in the evening.
Redwing Blackbirds.
Annie Haslam singing.
A cacophony of tree frogs and crickets on a summer night.
Piano arpeggios in Beethoven's Fourth Piano concerto.

Chick Corea Elektric Bands, first record. The song was called "India Town". That has some of the best synth sounds I've heard. Anyone know what synths he used for those recordings?

Good thread.
That wild high synth/instrument/whatever in the first half of Godspeed You Black Emperor!'s "Sleep". I've spent many hours listening to that sound.
"Hjartao Hamast" by Sigur Ros, along with many other tracks from "Agaetis Byrjun"...simply mind-blowing.
Also, the sound effect that the giant worm makes in Transformers 3.

Hypnotoad!
Seriously! The first time I heard it, a chill went up my spine... Very unexpected sound design too.
And live frippertronics...

That would be the plucked synth on Underworld Born Slippy. Just that whole chord sequence gives me a headrush.

The sound fx at the beginning of the track "cimmerian shaft" by biosphere. Also, several parts of the song "hyperborea" by biosphere, which is my all-time favorite song, if there is such a thing.
Also, the sounds of the bells and tibetan bowls in an untitled track by klaus wiese and ted de jong.

currently
letting the cat out and sitting on the back step for a while in the sun
the combination of gentle wind in the trees, distant traffic and local kids playing somewhere in the vicinity
all togetherr makes for a wonderful natural soundscape
could just be that in my last place it would be constantly interrupted by neihbours screaming at each other, not so distant traffic and booming bass from passing cars plus i couldnt tell you where the nearest trees where, or any greenery for that matter.
life is so much more relaxed here and the soundscape shows it
