Saw this yesterday...

Pretty amazing. Also shows how perception is affected by context, although, my 
feeling is this was genius rather than luck. Also, that "experimental dance 
music" has some timeless qualities that have less to do with "drugs of choice" 
and more to do with the same stuff Bach et al were messing with. And people 
thousands of years before anything we know about, and, thousands of years from now.

If we could just get rid of this need to conform, then there would probably be 
one or two more Delia Derbyshires about, but, only one or two ;)
