encym Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Just discovered this beautiful music, which ones would you suggest I get first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr12000 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'd say start with Harmony In Ultraviolet or Radio Amor. Both are great releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Enter a new display name Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Radio Amor and Harmony In Ultraviolet both come first in mind. I prefer Radio Amor for its strong nostalgic/melancholic atmosphere, though (see the video posted by Deepex above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encym Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 On first listening to the snippets, I would have favoured Ultraviolet and Country over Radio. A mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManjuShri Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do it Again was my first and what made me fall into love with him, HMHMDIA is the most freeform in structure, next is Radio Amor, and finally Harmony in Ultraviolet is pretty standard rhythmically but still great. Personally those are the only output of his that I like so deffo give those a shot and go on from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hanratty Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Radio Amor and Harmony In Ultraviolet both come first in mind. I prefer Radio Amor for its strong nostalgic/melancholic atmosphere, though (see the video posted by Deepex above). these are both great, tho I prefer ultraviolet. and do not prefer an imaginary country. The first Hecker I heard was Mirages so I still sort of like it the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

encym Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Ordered Haunt me from Alien8. Let's see how long shipping takes, but I've got the mp3s anyway. Just wanted to have this gorgeous-looking cover art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to have this gorgeous-looking cover art. Indeed. Could any one who owns it do a biggie and scan the cover? I can't find a good resolution image of it anywhere.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 As I re-listen to "100 Years Ago" and "200 Years Ago" from An Imaginary Country, it reminds me of the Vuvuzelas used by the crowd in the World Cup. This should be FIFA 2010's theme song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xdz2Vps5iXg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redruth Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 radio amor hands down! (his whole body of work is amazing though - my second favorite is an imaginary country) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
