76:14 cover
Released

76:14 is often placed in all time greatest ambient album lists, with very good reason.From the grandfather clock ticking that starts the record off, to the album and track titles referring only to durations, this record is about time — and the suspension of time. It’s the absolute epitome of the sound’s early-mid 90s interzones: hidden backrooms in the rave, the after-party that has gone on past all the clocks stopping, the country hillside just before dawn. Everything hovers, drifts, rotates slowly in space. You can hear older music’s influence — Tomita, Vangelis, Steve Hillage — and you may hear the future beckoning, but when it was made it was about that total immersion in the moment. And still, if you give yourself up to it, its arpeggios, ticking clicks, low down throbs can still bring you right into the heart of the present.
