BT

Hi,

I sometimes read some interesting posts on this forum and have finally reactivated my old account :-)

I just wanted to gauge the popularity of BT in Ireland... I have been a fan since his Ima album, and have seen him go through lots of phases of change in direction, ranging from progressive trance through to pop (producing N-Sync) to scoring movies (Monster)

His new album has just been announced for release on Feb 2nd, and he seems to be going for a more dancier version of his last one (This Binary Universe)

I have only heard two songs from this new album, one being 'Rose of Jericho', which does't impress me at all really, and this one 'Every Other Way':

..which to me is the sound of BT that I have become to love... beautiful song, amazing voice on the singer... however maybe a little too much 'stutter' effects..

...so, are there any other BT fans from Ireland?

I got the chance to catch him live in London in August, which practically completed a long list of electronica artists I wanted to see..

I was a fan by default due to his great dance music years ago though haven't really paid much attention to him in ages. There's no doubting his talent - his productions are amazing as is his attention to detail.

I quite like that track linked though.

I have 'This Binary Universe' - stunning album. I've yet to listen to the disc in 5.1 due to the lack of a 5.1 system Actually have several CDs with 5.1 versions, should really pick up the system to play them.

I haven't been a big fan of BT in quite a while, but IMA is probably in my top 10 albums of all time, so BT for me will always bring back a lot of memories for me from around that time (summer of '95, hottest summer in the last 20 years, leaving cert done and freedom!). I'd heard Nocturnal Transmission and Embracing the Sunshine before it was released, bought the album on vinyl and was just blown away by the journeys in it (Divinity!).
I've ESCM on vinyl which was good but in fairness it wasn't a patch on IMA and never could be. In terms of singles I've Embracing the Sunshine (2 versions), Blue Skies, Flaming June, Godspeed, Mercury and Solace, and Remember - so my latest BT vinyl purchase was 10 years ago. Since then I've followed him on and off - have a couple of CDs and downloads, I think he's moved in a different direction and fair play to him for still making music that he thinks is important, but personally I haven't really been interested in a lot of it.

EDIT:
Oh, I also forgot this one - didn't realise till later that BT was involved - GTB - Entropy / Kotex

Have been a fan since I first heard flaming June and Godspeed... Movement in still life has some quality tracks on it (going to have to throw it on now, actually!:))
10 years in the life is a decent collection as well

Kind of interesting looking through some of the films and games that he's scored.. Tiger woods PGA tour 2005 o_Ó

With Sasha!

My favourite BT track would have to be Mercury & Solace, last one I bought was Remember, I did hear one of his newer tracks recently and was surprised he was still making the same kind of sounds.....

Took me a long time to track down the vinyl, eventually got my grubby mitts on it, ill never forget the first time I heard it, was in the Temple Theatre "back in the dizz-ay"....

Used to love this a fair few years ago...
