I thought you'd all like to hear my latest and greatest ambient poem.
Here goes.....
Great isn't it?????
I'm thinking of putting my collected works together, spanning nine volumes so far.

Not bad, but could we have some ambient lighting, changing subtly but sensually in time with the rhythm of your poem?

Sergeant Pluck Posted Jul 10, 1999
Apologies, I realise now the lighting is already there - I missed its subtlety, so engrossed was I in the ineffable lyric of the work.
More, please.

sure thing serg...I particularly like the cadence and the metaphysical imagery of this little piece....

......doesn't that just say it all??? It's called "Ripples in a lily choked pond".

....sorry, I made a spelling mistake. Here it is again...

....in all it's glory.

What can I say, but that I'm at least as choked as the pond after those experiences.
But I wouldn't have been pedantic about the speeling.

As I never make spooling moskates, I now feel confident enough to attempt my first ambient poem composition.
Here it is...

I know it's a bit short, but I like the rhyme, though I'm not sure of the rhythm. Would you care to be critical (in the most constructive way, please)?

A latter day classic of the genre, it echoes subtly through an atonal landscape and yet is brutal in it's clarity. Punctuated by a series of otherworldly alliterative devices, this great work has the power to both warm the heart and freeze the soul, like a delicately crafted snowflake.
As for the spooling wistakes, thise uuaslly ocur efter ahv hed a phew...bat ahm nut as thunk as drinkle peep i am...

Hey, I saw an Ambient version of the bible at my local bookstore today!

Yeah I know that one. In my opinion, this edition of the great book conveys the christian teachings in their truest, purest form.

Another good work to check out is "10000 years of human culture compressed into a 6" by 4" brick".

And if we might diversfy into ambient music, ther's the classic Jean-Michel JamJar's "waiting for custard" (original title "en attendant moutarde" denoting a slightly hotter and creamier version) - on 365 CDs (though soon to be re-released as a 5k MP3 file, I've heard)

...Aahhh yes, his magnum opus....sonic cathedrals....sublime soundscapes....there's a guy who really knows how to raise his modulation frequency at the twiddle of a knob.

Also available soon: Jeffrey Archer's entire oevre ( that's french for egg isn't it? ) on the back of a stamp.

Thanks for the invite: The man in the shack
I must admit I have never seen such a large collection of Bull**** dressed so delicately in such a psychedelic form that could cause such euphoria. The creation of such intense and distorted perceptions. It reminds me of the symphony of 4 minutes silence which was released in the 70's on the old 45 record. This allowed the listener to enjoy the piece in peace and tranquility that only silence can give, especially if played in a public house.

Would that be scrambled oeuvre? Or if it was "borrowed" from another source, poached oeuvre?
I don't remember hearing of a Geoffrey in the Archers.

Euphoria, mephorthere... I'm sure it's all just a matter of taste in the end. Or would that be distaste in the end?

Half-baked oeuvres, left to go cold, then fed to the sheep, I should say. You must remember Geoffrey, the corrupt mayor of Ambridge. He was involved in the powdered sheep brains fiasco and had his hands in the pockets of all the farmers for a good few years. He was eventually lynched, hanged at the cross-roads and can still be found there, gibbet bound, to this day, providing sustenance to carrion feeders from many miles around.

Just to clarify, is this a critique of this conversation, or of ambient media in general?
