Vapourspace - Gravitational Arch Of Ten 

I was on acid and witnessed this performed live for 5000 people at the NY Colosseum in Manhattan in 1994. He was headlining along with Aphex Twin, Moby and Orbital. It was complete pandemonium! In the history of electronic music that would be equatable to seeing Jimi Hendrix headline with Cream, the Stones and The Doors. If I am alive by the time they create the holodeck I will go back to that exact moment. 👽

It was , i think, 1995 or so when i searched for this record and couldn't find it.There was a record store who bought old record and sold them again. I asked if they had this record. They said, " No, but we can put you on a the list, when we get it we call you". I said ok and left.. 4 or 5 years later when i totally forgot about it, someone called me; "We have a record for you". I was like, huh, which record, i could not remember the title, but i went there to get the record. When i got home and listened to the record i realised it was this one!!. I was soooo happy! :)

One of the most Epic techno track of all time

I count myself as one of the lucky people who got to listen to this in the OMEN Frankfurt in like '94 or sth. Darkness, smoke, sweat, everyone shirtless and high as fuck. Magical

It's been emotional. When I here this, and other classic tunes from this era makes me feel like F* crying. Never got over it all :-)

25 years later this is still a huge record.

This track changed my life.

almost 48 years old ... In love when i heard it for the first time .... timeless

I was lucky to be 22 in 1987 when all this started . A friend of mine, who's parents had a big ass club, asked me if I wanted to join him at the dj booth, as a Licht Jockey. I said yes, and from that moment on, my life changed. Every friday, every saturday and every sunday evening I worked there from early in the evening till 8 or 9 in the morning. We had no closing hours, as only country in the world, I think. Monday mornings, after closing our club, we went home, refreshed ourselves and went out, clubbing. I kid you not. I lived this life for over 20 years and boy, the things I experienced, I could whrite a few books about it. If there's a god, I would like to say to him; thank you Lord, for all these fine moments.

My mate copied this onto a tape for me as he thought I was listening to too much 'simple' rave in 93 94? . Put this on the cassette in my old Nissan Micra driving across some misty moors on the way back from a funeral in Glasgow to Derby. Went apeshit. Had to stop the car and share the experience with the emptiness. Awe inspiring!

Grâce aux champignons je voyais tout les sons en couleurs, expérience inoubliable 🍄❤️❤️❤️

The best 5 minutes and 9 seconds intro ... ever! Patience is truly a virtue.

Was treated to this in Space, Ibiza, in the early 90s, at about 10am, after a hard night in Ku. The whole place was pitch black - apart from the strobing roof - with this masterpiece clicking, soaring and throbbing away in the background as glowing silhouettes waved all around. Happy daze.

Man, this takes me back! Lost, looking for love, looking for redemption, looking for meaning, wandering the mad nights, and then bang. This tune hits. Glorious.

Eines der besten Stücke aller Zeiten. Unfassbar gut. Was für geile Zeiten das waren

Back in a time where techno music in general was so much simpler and was not just about the latest plugins and the most loud compressor to use, but pure composition, vibe and atmosphere were the goal.

Always, every single time I hear this track, I get goosebumps. It’s legendary!

Funny story: the name was supposed to be "Gravitational arch of Io". As in "io" the innermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Not sure what the deal with its gravitational arch is, but one thing is for sure, Richie Hawtin (boss behind Plus 8 records) read the name wrong and the rest is history. I have this stomper on vinyl, wax rules.

I saw him playing this live at The Arches in Glasgow in 1994. He was sitting on the stage with synths and drum machines on the floor around him. Fantastic night!

Geile Zeit damals - unzerstörbar - ewig in Erinnerung! Rave on!

I'm 31 now and I only got into electronic music when I was 24. I was clueless, until my first rave and what comes with it I could not imagine what people would find appealing in this kind of music. Now, when I listen to classics like this, I tend to think that if there was one experience I could share with all the people I know that just don't get it, it would be tripping balls on ecstasy raving to this track. There's so much elegance, intelligence, layered abstraction in the sound and title and yet it's so primal and tribal; it's simply an all-encompassing masterpiece that makes you reflect on the themes and schemes of the universe. Otherwise I so wish I had been a young adult in the early nineties.

I've had a built-in love of electronic music that was first triggered by Tubeway Army's "Are Friends Electric" when I was 5 years old. This is my favourite piece of music, full-stop

The orbit, morley, leeds nuff said.

back in '93: Me and my friend took some Acid 1 hour ago... standing on the Dancefloor.... listened to this special stuff.... blowing mind.... big eyes.... big ears.... biggest smile.... fantastic sound!!! Thanx for uploading, thanx for remember a very special moment in my life! :-)

Always special when it was dropped at the Orbit Morley! Still gives me goosebumps! Great days and even greater music.

Trekked over to Orbit, Morley in the early 1990s to experience Sven Vath, in an overloaded Ford Fiesta. Wandered in, and in between the blurred eyes and smoke, we were slightly surprised to see something banging drums in cages and several MC's chanting, then this masterpiece began, and rolled around the deck at 200dB for 10 minutes. Such moments are forever gravitated into your brain.

Huge banger during first months of Fuse Brussels, legendary place!

Aus einer Zeit als Tracks noch kleine Geschichten erzählten.

First experienced love parade 1996. Sven Väth ripped it off the wagon near Tresor. Sunny morning days..

This really is an exceptional piece of music. The production is incredible if compared to many other tracks of that time. Rich, wide and heavy. Beautiful.

Oh how I miss the 90's!

Original and best version ever. This is what electronic music is all about.

First SONAR in Barcelona (Apolo Club) a guy with a "mallot" sponsored by Roland, Korg on stage LIVE ACT ! Mindblowing

OMEN Frankfurt. The master himself on the decks. Crowded floor. Nothing but sweat and pure xtc in the air. Best times ever had ♥️

Modern producers can learn from this tune, especially the dynamic range of the track. there is a beautiful mix of quiet here. meanwhile all new music is competing to be the loudest tune in the club. the quite is what really draws me into this track. when finally it open up I'm lit.

IM JUST TURNED 64 AN THIS CHOON IS BANGIN GOD THE GOOD OLD DAYS BRING THEM BACK NOT THIS NEW AGE C---P PEACE 2 U ALL

best vinyl ever

Saw MArk play this live in Club UK in 1994. The intro left a room of a very lost ravers, looking for some measure of a beat and when the sirens started climbing, smiles started appearing. by the time that first kick drum 'kicked in' the place synchronised. It was, and is, magic!!

Für alle Liebhaber elektronischer Musik....sucht nicht weiter.....das ist euer Zuhause ❤

Saw vapourspace live in 1995 or 95 at PURE in glasgow at the barrowlands still gets the goosebumps going that siren with a decent Ecstasy grest memories 😎👌⚪💚

Back when trance was just the hippie age of love close relative from techno, food for the body and soul!!!!!

Danced to this in the hacienda in Manchester on Friday night “shine” in 1993, (i think!) it was mind blowing!

Masterpiece fullstop 🔊🌟❤️

Will wie ever... A cosmogen...

this is what we are missing these days in music production...

When i was researching records playing backwards, (what a joke btw) i discovered the first two minutes of this awesome track sounds exacly the same as forwards..... awesome production...

My favorite techno track of ALL TIME - gives me goosebumps every time 👏

Had this track on tape, for long, but first time it hit me, was in Borealis 97/98, in Montpellier, France, played by the master, Laurent Garnier, himself, and then, the dancefloor went absolutely mad😎😎😎!

best time ever.. this song and secret cycles lazonby ..

Poison Club Düsseldorf🥰Wenn die schöne Discokugel runter kam.Was würd ich geben, das nochmal zu fühlen.

Just a note: It's actually "Gravitational Arch of Io", as in the moon of Jupiter.

A-MAZING! What a tune! Takes me back. 10mins of absolute bliss 🙌

I'm a metalhead at heart,techno got a hold of me and completely changed my life,this is one of the amazing tracks I witnessed in clubs and party's , amazing time 🤘👌💙

I remember hearing this for the first time about 7 years ago, just started listening to electronic music. Me and my friend sitting in my apartment high as fuck and just scrolling through youtube and listening to this unbeliavable music. At one point this starts, and we just went completely silent, total relax and chill of the intro, an absolute mindblowing sensation and journey through your innerself...

Amazing!!

Simply the most overlooked work of genius in all techno . universe Laurent garner 1993

Epic Track! Always in my box!

Just timeless

People dont understand it was about the connection to ourselves and each other, as well as the sound that made this all so fuckin special. So fuckin special it was literally outlawed and broken up..... Because after all....who wants a world of beings lost together in a trance of love and adoration for one equal goal

just speechless, discovered this track after forgetting about it. Mindblowing !!! Unbelievable and sooo powerful intro...

Haunting beautiful

Timeless !

Eclipse - the second phase. Perth, 1993. Still have this on wax. I love life.
