Album DescriptionAvailable in:
76:14 is an ambient music album by Global Communication. Initially released via Dedicated on June 1, 1994, 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 corresponds to the record's total running time in minutes and seconds. Likewise, each track on the album is correspondingly titled after its respective length. The duo has stated in the sleeve notes that this was intended to avoid implying any specific meaning to the music, thus leaving the listener completely free to interpret the music according to their own imagination.
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. Notably, the bonus tracks are more in the vein of house and jazz-influenced techno than the more ambient, mostly beatless album.
76:14 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."
