76:14 is an ambient music album by Global Communication, released in 1994. Originally released on Dedicated, the album has been re-issued a number of times, most recently in 2005 in an expanded and remastered version.

The title of the album is the total length of the album in minutes and seconds. Each track on the album is titled simply with the length of the song. The artists state in the sleeve notes of the album that this was intended to avoid implying any specific meaning in the music, and thus leave listeners completely free to interpret the music according to their own imaginations.

In 2005, the album was reissued with a bonus disc featuring singles released before and after the album, as well as enhanced packaging and new liner notes from the group and notable fans of the album. The bonus tracks are notably much more in the vein of house and jazzy techno than the more ambient, mostly beatless album.

The album is featured in The Guardian's 1,000 Albums to Hear Before You Die list. It is described as an "unfathomably beautiful out-of-time masterpiece."^[2]
