I was a dumb kid driving to work one day in my parents minivan. I was approaching a blind turn and while I went through the intersection a motorcycle was flying through. He hit me on the drivers side door, smashed my window and left my car basically totaled. He survived and is fine but I thought I killed that man. My window shattered and I remember looking at the blood all over my face through the rearview mirror and "Dazed and Awake," eerily kept playing through my radio. Listening to this album used to put me in a trance like state and I love it so much. Ever since that accident I can't listen to it the same. This is my first time listening to it in awhile and it makes me grateful to be able to type this comment here. I still think of the motorcyclist who had it way worse than me but it was such a deep and hard lesson to learn at 17.
Hello,just reading your comment which has struck a chord with me. I had a similar accident in 1992.A kid on a motorcycle hit the side of my car narrowly missing my friend in the front passenger seat....it was dark and the lad didnt have his lights on,a life altering event for everyone that seemingly came out of the blue.The lad suffered life changing injuries as a result. Situations like this move with you for years,finding it's own resolve but never quite leaving the questions fully answered....Peace to you in 2024
bumping the DAVID PAJO mention, because Aerial M is his solo project and it would be a shame to not know that. Pajo played with Slint, Tortoise, Stereolab, Royal Trux, King Kong, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol among others. Props.
I was at that show. So amazing. I had just played at Metro with Jim O'Rourke's band opening for Stereolab, and most of us high-tailed it over to Empty Bottle for this stellar show. That was my first time seeing Alan Licht, and I said some dumb adoring fan thing to him after.
It's new years right now. No one's at my house because my siblings all have different parties they've gone to. My mother is getting drunk with the neighbors. And my dad left a long time ago. This music both soothes my soul and breaks my heart. This music means so much to me. Thank you David. Happy new years.
Hey joe. Belated New Years bro. I have been a loner all my life. Music is the only long standing friend of my life. It will go with you anywhere you want no matter what. Here’s to another sunrise my friend.
Such a great album. The soundtrack of uncertainty with a dash of distant hopefulness. It's hard to listen without being reminded of your formative years, whenever they were.
To be honest, not knowing the names of the songs and just listening alone makes it feel all the more of a hidden gem to me, like it's unknown, a song from another place and destination calling out to me. I love music from way long ago..
Why is there some pro-depression pile on every downtempo introspective style music vid on UA-cam ? I get dappled afternoon light on a back porch from it, not longing for death
@@systemlfo because life sucks bro and acting like it doesn't won't change that also david pajo was severely depressed, so that's why its more apparent here than other places
@@mr.nazareth4501 - I didn't know he suffered from depression but I'm still not getting a defeatist vibe from this album. Every downtempo/shoe gaze vid has a depression pile on in the comments, like it's more of a trend than an affliction for most
@@systemlfo your life experiences definitely change how you perceive things for one, but I will agree with you that the sad boy shit (and mental health issues as a whole) is becoming a trend. i cried to this album my first listen because the second track sounds like the guitar just wants to lay down and die, which is a feeling i relate to heavily. i don't know the music theory of what makes things sound sad, but I'm sure somebody more educated than I could explain that to you.
@@mr.nazareth4501 - thanks mate but I'm a professional musician of 20+ years, the compositions on this album are relatively simple. Life experiences ? Maybe. I grew up with a pathological liar, manic depressive and violent father - so I tend not to wallow in murky depths of self loathing or I might never come out. It can be done
Fun fact that I just discovered with Audacity. Compassion for M is the first tune "Dazed and Awake" in reverse (different recording, but exactly the same tune).
it’s night time, it’s raining outside my window. I keep thinking about the movie vanilla sky, and the 90’s. late musicians, peace and hope. idk some things that came to mind. thank you for this upload
Not heard this before - makes me feel like it's a little like very early period Mogwai, just more mellow and a little more free n easy! - Whatever it is I LIKE IT! :D
21:00 sounds like they trainwrecked, and then 30 seconds later they bring it all back together tight. I don't know if that was on purpose but it sounds cool.

two dramatic stories to remember how music and life often cannot be separated
Got in a car crash to Botch. Nothing will be the same as before. And so we rebuild.
now that's quite a life story.
bumping the DAVID PAJO mention, because Aerial M is his solo project and it would be a shame to not know that. Pajo played with Slint, Tortoise, Stereolab, Royal Trux, King Kong, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol among others. Props.
david is my hero :) his music has been so influential in my life, everytime I remember him I'm grateful he's alive
You forgot to mention ZWAN
Thanks dude
I learned something new today
I love slint and tortoise and I had no idea
I saw Papa M in 2000 at Empty Bottle in Chicago. Alan Licht was also on guitar. Fucking great. Pajo is one of my favorite guitarists.
I was at that show. So amazing. I had just played at Metro with Jim O'Rourke's band opening for Stereolab, and most of us high-tailed it over to Empty Bottle for this stellar show. That was my first time seeing Alan Licht, and I said some dumb adoring fan thing to him after.
まだネット購入も出来ない時代、日本の田舎でこの作品を聴きたかった忘れかけていた思い出が今ふと叶えられました。みさき君のパスのような贈り物、ありがとう。パホよいですよね。
This album makes me want to sit and play guitar all day. Such an inventive player
Same. Pajo is ACTUALLY criminally underrated. A gentle and sweet human, too.
It's new years right now. No one's at my house because my siblings all have different parties they've gone to. My mother is getting drunk with the neighbors. And my dad left a long time ago.

wow seeing this comment on new year’s eve, time flies !
Holy shit. I just realised that this is David Pajo, who was guitarist in Slint.
Looks like I found a new slow-core masterpiece to obsess over.
its a bit post rock-ish too i feel like
The music doesn't demand too much from you, however the unusual sounds cast your mind in all kinds of directions. I love this album.
Such a great album. The soundtrack of uncertainty with a dash of distant hopefulness. It's hard to listen without being reminded of your formative years, whenever they were.
2069
Pure nostalgia. This album will forever remain a reflection of my introspective 17 year old self.
In retrospect do you find your name needed more consonants?
I wanna be with a girl to this track...just anywhere
Not to mention I am handsome 😊
Me too 🥺
@@FluxFreemanmake sure it is consentual
it's a summer evening and everything is drowsy and dreamy
That description fits as I read this
Three seconds in I already knew this album's gonna be amazing
Indeed, just like I saw your profile pic and I knew this comment was gonna be good
I was born in 1997 and I love this.
This music is so beautiful I use it as a lullaby for my 7 month old son
I haven't heard this in at least 2 decades. Stumbled upon it here. Thanks for posting!
the "up next" algorithm is treating me well tonight
music is just the gift that keeps on giving. slowcore is so beautiful yet so accessible.
Listening to this is like feeling like a kid again
this comment made me sad
The drumming REALLY sticks out on this !!
pun intended!
un artiste discret, sensible, merveilleux... Chacune de ses oeuvres est comme un cadeau, une réjouissance. Merci!
this reminds me of Duster's Stratosphere, and I love that album. I would recommend that one as well to any who enjoy this.
I've been listening to Duster for years and just found this. Super stoked.
Mr. Slowdeath I'm a massive duster fan and I just found this, hopefully I'll like it :)
did you know this is david pajo?
so would the youtube algorithm, which is cool.
Honestly duster is an amazing band
I am so happy to find this. 2024. Kinda late but still so so amazing!
BRILLANT ET TELLEMENT AU DELà de tout ce qu'on peut entendre aujourd'hui./..tellement plus en avant, toujours en avant..RARE
One of the saddest albums i've ever heard.
Saddest for me, hits hard back when I was in rough times
(insert meme) i know that feel bro
hits hard right now. rough times
you should turn this round into something good. Sadness preys on us all. try Beach Houses Soiree de Poche#14
I'm so happy to have stumbled upon this album.
Mindlessly flipping through 90's post rock at 3AM on UA-cam and I find this. Modern era ain't so bad.
me too! totally beautiful
What a lovely and soothing music! I like it a lot!
track 1 instantly made me think of when the sun hits by slowdive not completely sure why
I love finding things I somehow missed
this sounds like every indie band from now, truly ahead of there time
Like who
@@jamesdoctor8079 all of them
@They have NO AUTHORITY bro u gotta chill let us enjoy this amazing album
well just found this and absolutely love it
So good, great find, thanks.

isn’t AASS a geometry term?
:)
Otra noche de insomnio y encuentro música espectacular para el momento. 😁
Amazing album
Catharsis in the form of music. Pajo really knows what the struggles of human existence are meant to sound like.

i still trip out on it haha, it sounds like a ocmpletely different song almost
Tracking down my records that got left out in the rain. Thank you so much. 🌿🕊️🌿
This is lovely!
Still lovely ✨
this album really rescues me!
Anh Lê me too
it’s night time, it’s raining outside my window. I keep thinking about the movie vanilla sky, and the 90’s. late musicians, peace and hope. idk some things that came to mind. thank you for this upload
my best friend in ‘98 in his black Volkswagen
One of my faves!
Great lp. Many hours listening to this in my early 20s
so glad i found this album.
Cried to this album ALOT in my 20's.
With you there.
what an album simply amazing
Love, love, love this. Especially that first track Dazed and Awake
Wow so much unexpected nostalgia. I love Aerial M.
No sé como pude vivir tantos años sin este album!
Really good find right here.
I remember loving this LP when I living in Brighton, off my head
Not heard this before
- makes me feel like it's a little like very early period Mogwai,
just more mellow and a little more free n easy!
- Whatever it is I LIKE IT! :D
acabo de descubrir esto, siendo las 2.08 a.m, con 40 grados de calor, y un ventilador que no funciona bien... felicidad!
Siempre David Pajo, en este caso Aerial M, te hace la vida un poco mejor.
buy an a/c, but the music is still v. good
siempre ocurren descubrimientos interesantes al procrastinar en la madrugada
Siempre
Curioso son las 2 am también y vaya sorpresa 🌻😁
Gnarly stoked on this brahs
my first time coming across this.. i love it
Memories... ♥️
Obrigado, thanks... from Brazil!
shattered glass on the street didn't feel like shining today
How am I just hearing this now…incredible
one of the most influential unknown artists of the last 30 or so years
This is awesome ❤
wow this is amazing!
this is amazing
Talk sbout hitting the right notes. Love it.
Saw them perform in 1999 supporting (mogwai) it was amazing!!
tremendo
Mil gracias
This is fantastic. Got to this by listening to a Jim O'Rourke exhibition piece. How have I not heard this (as he thinks of several plausible reasons)?
i remember the first times i listened to this album back in 2001,,, its still Great,,,
Une merveille, magnifique. Merci
love this, album art is great too
So good
good stuff
Mesmerizing
recién la descubro, lastima no haberla conocido antes....
Dave rocks the phat beats
My biggest guitar inspiration
This is nice. Updooted!
Lovely
This is great
EYE RLY LYK THIS
.
The last minute and a half of Wedding Song 2 makes me feel a way that no other song has ever made me feel
wonderful time walking NYC for the first time
Great album
Una perla de David Pajo
This album should be in a museum. From it, the rest of this kind are nothing more than variations.
Legendary 👍
21:00 sounds like they trainwrecked, and then 30 seconds later they bring it all back together tight. I don't know if that was on purpose but it sounds cool.
I really like this
lindo disco !!
Kept playing Slint and got this. Cool. I like it.
thanks God I could see Dave Pajo live
This album is a perfect album
Nice profile pic
Impressing.
Feelings.
belleza!
an album just as important as many other Louisville favorites. a masterpiece
tremenda banda, muy buena
Buenísimo❤
