Comments:
This masterpiece is definatelly unique in that i know of not even a single other album which is remotely similiar. It isn't music - and it's not about melody - it's sole purpose is to to facilate certain states of mind via minimal synthetic drones - layered and interacting with each other. The only way i could describe it with words is like expressing being under anaesthetic with audio. It's no coincidence that all tracks are chemical names for hallucinogens. I've had multiple strange experiences throughout my life with this album - including a case where i drifted into a deep sleep during the first track, and slowly woke up during the 4min long fadeout of the album. And its the album which i choose when everything else fails to get me into a relaxed and concentrated state of mind. |
