He had to have done something. His music is pretty much the only music that makes me feel different.
I don't even have to be high to have really lucid images when hearing most of his stuff. Maybe he just understands conciousness really well, who knows.
By the way, To Cure A Weakling Child (Contour Regard) is the only song that can consistently bring me to tears or at least make me feel really sad.

Have you ever listened to Sigur Ros?

DreamSignals said: I'm not sure, I've listened to his stuff while tripping hard and I swear it's almost like MORE stuff is added unto it. I think the music becomes a "portal" to the subtle layers of reality, so it might be intentional, although it could also be mere coincidence. But ask yourself, say he didn't mean it to happen, does it mean the coincidence isn't significant?
Excellent observation. I think that in music, electronic music especially, sometimes its about what you don't play, or where you don't put notes and how that can be used to deliberately influence the listener and their imagination into filling in those anticipated spaces on their own. Each time will be different and the music takes on this expanding existence of its own relative to each listener. That's on top of all the subtlety built into the track to begin with

For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you'd never considered. That's the exploration that awaits you...not mapping stars and studying nebulae... but charting the unknowable possibilities of existence. To carry yourself forward and experience myriad things is delusion. That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening. -Dogen Zenji

Indeed. Several times now I've listened to Analord on acid, and I begin to hear melodies filling in the blanks, until I'm practically listening to classical music instead of acid house. Other electronic music does this too, but not with nearly the same subtlety and complexity. James is a genius.
