Not a particular song, but old rave footage does it for me. I guess any acid house/early techno track would fit. That sweet spot between the popularization of ecstacy and before 9/11 was the closest we've ever been to world peace.

I was a part of this, my friend. I used to envy that my dad was a part of the hippy thing in the 60s, but the rave culture of the 90s was its continuation. Just pulled another cd I used to listen to back in the day out of the vault.

It was a good time for sure.

Ahhh I'm so jealous. It was definitely a continuation of the first summer of love. The rave underground today doesn't even compare.

I'm pretty into retro tech and video games, especially stuff of the late 70's and early 80's. And as I watch videos and learn about these old computers, and what Silicon Valley was like back in that period, I feel a deep nostalgia and melancholy. Sort of a home sickness for a time and place I've never been. Similar feelings when I see pictures/video of the forests of the pacific northwest. And early 80's arcades. I get this feeling like that's when/where I really belong.

If I were the type to believe in reincarnation I'd wonder if maybe that was my previous life. A late 70's/early 80's programmer out west, who died late one night in 84 and was reborn in a hospital 2500 miles away. I'm not the type to believe in that sort of thing. But the nostalgia is real. (There's also a certain smell I've never been able to identify that triggers similar, even stronger, nostalgic emotions. Whenever I get a whiff it recalls hazy images of thick leaves and glass, maybe the inside of a greenhouse. I've occasionally pondered if it's touching a memory from when I was very young, or if the memory is even older than that.)

This is all quite ironic because today I hate California, everything it stands for, and everything/everyone that comes from it.
I and I hate the modern tech industry with a fiery passion.
I eagerly await the promised "BIG ONE" of my childhood that should have cleansed the filth from our planet by now.

This specific era of late 90s to mid 2000s J-Rock. I try to avoid putting on those Japan-tinted internet goggles, but the idea of being a layabout skating around '00s Tokyo sounds fucking awesome sometimes. Although I'd probably be homeless by now.

[Hadrian Hardrada Cicero]

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here!

Orbital's got a real talent for evoking this, don't they?

Also the track Banstyle/Sappy's Curry by Underworld puts me in that odd atemporally contemplative zone.

There goes, top to bottom. My own lane of memories I won't have.

Probably Branikald's Blikk av Kald, anemoic for an unkown land that never was.

Other than that Eldrig's Kali invokes a similar feeling with a stronger touch of mystery.
