Experience with Photogrammes     View Discussion as Thread
Start of Discussion Author
Me and my cousin used to part alot and go out and such. Most of the time we all ended up back at my place after the clubs. Many, many, many, many times I would throw in "Photogrammes" in when I was totally, blanked-out trashed and blare it loud as fuck. Usually everyone else would be indisposed somehow or another and I'd just let the alcohol and the whole CD take me into the inverted journey into my minds explorings my deepest anguish and anxieties in all their chaotic grotesqueness and depression. The somberlain of an infinity of thoughts. Anyone ever do anything wierd to Photogrammes?

Hell yeah!!!

One of my favourite albums of all. It makes me travel inside of my self and get in touch with my most depressing thoughts (should I say feelings, because they do not lay in my head). I love to listen that album in complete silence and loneliness, becoming a very personal matter, just like masturbation. After listening it, I am ready to keep going, but with an inspired soul.

PHOTOGRAMMES helps me to summon the Muses. They live inside my tears.

Re: Re: Experience with Photogrammes
This may sound sorta naive maybe but Photogrammes really gave me a new perspective on sadness and depression and despondency and desolation. Especially with the imagery of tears. Those big round teardrops like you could imagine only happening in fairytale tragedies. It helped to take a cold, frozen perspective on my own anguish and take it, pick it up and turn in around examining it with a detached, morbid, sadistic, dead eye like a doctor and scientist. It inspires me to strive to make something tangible out of isolated depression. A fetish or a song or an orgasmic act purified in tears for something innocence and pure and real.

Thats why I love CATODIC FUNERAL. A lot of my tears belong to that song.

Re: Experience with Photogrammes
oh...tis a bit late perhaps, but I feel like I am obliged to reply, since this is so deeply resonant...
It was the first Die Form album I ever gained knowledge of, and it shattered my conscious...like a defloration of the mind.

From then on, I like to lie awake at night, listening to it at full volume...the only other music I like to do that to is R. Schumann's "Dichterliebe".
A bitter episode occured with it in some remote Eastern-European nightclub, where the owner was kind enough to play the CD...the public became immensely uneasy as a mass, complaining of the "transcendentally negative atmosphere"...I took it back.

Au revoir, mon aimé

People are not keen to understand this culture, it frightens them.
