| Musical Synesthesia
Whenever I listen to music, the way I visualize it always plays a big role. My mind usually
generates a color to sort of match the atmosphere of the record and it always impacts the way I
listen. Props to sniper for the list idea. | | 1 |  | Belong
October Language
Pink. The harsh, yet airy electronics build up a ridiculously dense atmosphere similar to the fuzzyness of
Loveless. | | 2 |  | Fugazi
The Argument
Dull blue. The guitars are really light and many of the songs sort of build quietly, sometimes even getting
lost in the eclectic atmosphere | | 3 |  | The Mars Volta
Frances The Mute
Bold, dark red. The sprawling cinematic mess of this record triggers an epic, brooding sound that shines
boldly and is always dense. | | 4 |  | Max Richter
The Blue Notebooks
Somber dark blue. The strings and main motifs generate the sad sound, with electronics and trickling
ambience providing a dark atmosphere that makes this record. | | 5 |  | The Microphones
The Glow pt.2
Pale yellow. The lo-fi, multi-tracked sound to this record creates a sparse, light atmosphere that gently
presents the dark songwriting of phil elvrum. | | 6 |  | Unwound
Leaves Turn Inside You
Dark Green. This album has an impersonal, yet thick character that can be disturbing but never fully lets go. | | 7 |  | Meat Puppets
Meat Puppets II
A mix of autumn colors, particularly orange and brown. The countryish, agreeable minimalism of this
album reminds me of autumn, particularly "plateau". | | 8 |  | Dan Deacon
Bromst
Multi-colored. Just ridiculous build-ups that culminate in lovable communal sing-a-alongs and quirky
electronics, a sound that hits home but always humors. Just a sweeping, colorful album. | |

08.27.10 | fixing the album art. i know the concept is weird, but right down your thoughts if you approach music somewhat like moi.
also I won't be deleting comments on my list. | accompliceofmydeath
08.27.10 | This is pretty cool. I agree with 7 and now I'm gonna bust that out today. | Enotron
08.27.10 | i'm pretty sure 7 was the first thing i rated and commented on on sputnik | Gmork89
08.27.10 | Good list/idea. | ButcheredChildren
08.27.10 | never really pictured colours, my mind creates paintings or pictures to match the atmosphere of the music | Enotron
08.27.10 | i used to picture exactly the album cover, but while listening I tend to forget the specifics of the album cover and the visual aspects become more abstract over time for me. | accompliceofmydeath
08.27.10 | I usually imagine what it would be like to be at one of their shows. | Enotron
08.27.10 | accomplice: i usually get that with more hardcore sort of bands. |
