    Now he can potentially shift all the resources he wasted in life into something useful like fertilizer and maybe a small patch of the Earth he ripped off gets some compensation!

    Yeah that was under my "emotionally heavy" list right? 

    I guess that's where I am not seeing emotionally heavy films as good recommendations for films that "won't break the brain". There's always the potential for viewer immersion and one never knows when it will happen (even if they're just looking for escapism).

    Thinking about it a bit more though, Kalatozov's film after The Cranes are Flying, Letters Never Sent, that one would be a good recommendation for this list. It's almost as visually appealing as The Cranes are Flying (def. would still count as "eye-candy", all Kalatozov films do), but the story is frankly dumb and not nearly as profound. Still engaging, but yeah not devastating.

    The Cranes Are Flying

    Can't agree with this one and have to point to an anecdote. An ex (who I was with for many years), one of our first dates was watching The Cranes are Flying together. My thought process didn't go far enough and I thought it would be a good date film. She wound up bawling by the last scene. 

    Great call on Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Made me think of another recommendation here:  any Karel Zeman film (Wes Anderson, Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton are all vocal and avid fans).

    +1 for the Qatsi trilogy (Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi) particularly the first two. also check out Baraka and Samsara with cinematographer Ron Fricke directing.

    they are beautiful, very easy films to watch.

    Good call on Baraka and Samsara. I got lucky and got to see Samsara in the theater. Very very cool.

    That does sound really nice, I wonder if Behringer will ever get on the MPE train because a poly, especially an 8+ voice poly, really should have that today.

    Would doubt it due to their existing MIDI integration on the copycat synths (Model D, K-2 at least for sure) are very limited. Note velocity is the most I've seen. Guessing there will be clock support for anything with an arpeggiator on it (LFO's don't sync to clock on mine). Not sure about the drum machines, just talking the synths.

    edit:  Both the Pro-800 and the Solina copycats sound wonderful btw.

    Mike D and Milk D actually kinda sound alike anyway but yeah I've always thought it was Milk D sampled for the track. Even the beat is vaguely similar to "Top Billin"
