Listening on my PC with 5.1 and about 29 min in my cat is looking around the room at the ceiling and walls and trying to find where that sound is coming from as it bounced off the walls. :rofl: :sunglasses:

I don’t know if there any other Todd Rundgren fans here, but the lyrics to his 1979 song ā€œRoad To Utopiaā€ reads like it was written expressly for NMS (Utopia version, of course)

:notes:
I blink my eyes and then it happens again
I lose my way but I discover a friend
It’s a typical day on the road to utopia

I walk along until my feet are sore
I rest a minute then I walk some more
There’s no time to delay on the road to utopia

And my destination is the unknown
But I’m never far away from my home
…

This was my first association with ā€˜Utopia’ from Goldfrapp’s fantastic debut album back in 2000. Quite a different, more sinister description of an Utopia or ā€œeerie, and world-wearyā€, Distopia? This song being about genetic engineering compared to fascism. I would not want to draw any comparison with the game world/lore, just a wonderful song to be reminded of. In my opinion one of the ā€˜next’ best tracks on ā€˜Felt Mountain’.

Had a mini existential crisis this morning because I realized I’ve gone through all of high school and 3 semesters of college and I still get emails about responses to this thread. Please don’t stop, I like getting reminded about this time in my life.

Well anyway, my music tastes changed completely in 5 years, although Dropkick Murphys are coming to my city for a concert and I’m stoked.

Got turned on to this lads music a few months back, which snowballed me in to a plethora of other insane musicians and realisations that I’d seen them perform with various other acts and never copped it (Snarky Puppy, Vulfpeck, cl0wnc0re)

Just goofy fun vibes but also insanely tight musicianship and song craft. A lot of studio stuff recorded with a live band which is just so rare these days too.

Wow classic indeed, that takes me back, and the video is so awesome.

Fun Fact the ā€œOpen Your Mindā€ vocal sample is taken from the Total Recall (1990) movie

I was 7 or 8 when my parents put this on thinking it was another fun Arnie action movie for silly little kids. First exposure to breasts from memory. Still confused why everyone else only has two and not the normal 3. And the only reason I do remember that is because of the big reveal/betrayal that that guy DID in fact have more hands like he wished to have XD
