music of smaller spheres

Lou Reed, both his solo stuff and The Velvet Underground, is remarkably effective to get you into the mood for Torchwood.

After skipping the "Metal Machine Music," at least. Though I imagine that if the Rift had a sound, it would sound a bit like that. Everyday sounds set in a maelstrom and surrounded by static.

I guess the Time Vortex might sound that way as well, but I think it's more of cyclical thing stretched out so it wouldn't sound like a circle at all.

Jack, of course, would be a single steady note. I'm unsure of the Doctor.

I like that description.

Interesting thing about "sounding like a circle": The original album had sound in the terminal loop, so it would hit the end and always play that last bit.

I keep wavering back and forth on the last groove being continuous, as on one hand it's a really cool idea. On the other, listening to Metal Machine Music for infinity is probably what the muzzak in hell is.

Oh wow...

I hadn't thought of that before and I'm a huge fan but yes. Very much yes.

Lou Reed. Just yes.

Now I feel the need to make a Torchwood VU/Lou song playlist.

Especially "The Summation."
