I was listening to this track last night, and it made me think of an interesting question. What makes TPPR for you? If you had to pick a single aspect of the songs that really stands out and makes it great, what would it be?

Please don't say all of it, or that it's too hard to pick one. Otherwise I can see this thread just inflating.



I'll go first - I'd have to say the way the track stops, and then the drums that break it back in. That comes from seeing TPPR live, where the lights would sync with those breaks and just blow up as the track kicked back in. So much energy, it's fantastic.

I guess it's the perfect build ups and break downs, and as you said, live coupled with the visuals it does have an imense amount of enegy.

At the end where the glitch synths come in and destroy your eardrums.

That's my son's favorite part of the song. He once said it "sounds like planets in outer space." X-D



I honestly can't think of one part that makes this song... sneaker says it's the sum of the total parts and for me that's true.



I'd rather not nitpick and break apart this song because the effect it has on me is inward. I think, what I like most about The Private Psychadelic Reel journey are the feelings it invokes. It's one of those songs that gives me chills because it's so good but when it comes to the describing the feelings this song gives, I can't find the proper words.
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

live, it is just amazing, one of the best live moments ever... even as you know it's gonna be the last one to be played.

my love to that song first started with it's name, those far-east (india) elements in there, the build up, the stopping... and coming back... and the outro. omg, this must be their biggest one!!!
love is all.

Only one moment? It has to be during the intro, when you think the drums are going to kick in but the sitar goes on and on... and when the drums finally enter, you know this is one of the best songs ever :D

I love the big sax bit about half way through the song, but I will tell you which is my favourite bit on March 12th...:D

I remember listening to this for the first time and being totally engrossed in the music - I think my favourite part is the bits where you can hear the 'f1 cars' racing past your ears 8O .

Listen from 7:11 and you will hear them ;-) . They are high pitched noises that sounded like f1 cars when I first heard it.
