Mystical Communication

Mystic Institute – Ob-Selon-Mi-Nos (Global Communication Mix)
Following on from Hal’s posting of Reload, here we have a track that brings together two of of Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton’s “many other guises” – the pair are AKA Global Communication, and Pritchard is also half of Mystic Institute.
This is a BIG tune and probably best categorised as “Epic Ambient”. We begin with a ticking clock… waves lap the shore… a beautifully haunting melody drifts into focus… from somewhere a piano adds to the tune… a slow, swooping synthesised bassline drops in… and all the while that clock just keeps on ticking.
I know the tune from the excellent compilation LP Narcosis, and it can also be found on the Global Communications LP 76:14, where it is simply titled 14:31.

Great post, but I suspect you downplay the awesome magnificence of this seminal work.
If I had a dollar for every time I've passed out to this track, I'd have…..well, quite a lot really.
My tip: put your headphones on, light a fat one and get horizontal.
Out…
Apologies, Adrian – I certainly didn't mean to downplay the tune at all. The track is magnificent, and you're right I could have been more gushing, and of course I've drifted off to this plenty times and it is beautiful.
In my defence, I dashed this post off on a Monday morning while I was supposed to be working, so that may be why the treatment ended up more cursory than it fully deserved.
Note to self: more hyperbole next time!
Damn that's a gorgeous song.
Thanks for posting it!
Quite simply one the best tracks ever. But I never knew it had a name other than 14:31.
