Review

Tempering the industrial tilt of their previous Reload material with slower, more graceful rhythms and an ear for melody unmatched by any in the downtempo crowd, Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton produced the single best work in the ambient house canon. The tick-tock beats and tidal flair of "14:31" are proof of the duo's superb balance of beauty with a haunting quality more in line with Vangelis than Larry Heard (though both producers were heavy influences on the album). On several tracks the darkside appears to take over -- the pinging ambience of "9:39" -- but for most of 76:14 the melodies and slow-moving rhythms chart a course toward the upbeat and positive. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

(1995)

76:14 is a 1994 ambient music album by Global Communication. 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 untitled, or, more accurately, titled simply with the length of the song.

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 "1000 albums to hear before you die" list. It is described as an "unfathomably beautiful out-of-time masterpiece"[1].

Notes

  • The track "14 31" was originally released on The Cyberdon EP by Mystic Institute (Paul Kent and Mark Pritchard) and titled "Ob-Selon-Mi-Nos (Re-Painted by Global Communication)".
  • The track "5 23" was included in the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV and appears on the soundtrack album The Music of Grand Theft Auto IV. It also sounds similar to the song "Love On A Real Train" by Tangerine Dream.
  • The track "9 39" uses a sound clip from the movie THX-1138 by George Lucas
  • The track "8 07" is very similar to parts of Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians
