The Hills Have Eyes

Switch off. Take time out. Practice breathing. Put yourself in that other place that safe place. Feel the rocks with your eyes shut, hug the trees, lie on your back & stare at the clouds. Get away from the hustle & bustle of everyday living. Get your priorities sorted out. Life is for living.

An easy alternative to reach ‘that place’ & one that I would recommend is to get hold of a suitable ambient cd, one that you would enjoy hearing many times without getting bored. For this writer that would be recordings of natural sounds rather than the naff new agey blandness that exists. Good examples would be Chris Watson’s cds or Geir Jensen’s field recordings of Tibet.

Certainly I would avoid the Conet Project recordings of numbers stations or Ghost Orchid’s Introduction to EVP as they make you think too much.

A lot of terrific materials can be found on the Touch label, but again avoid the Runaway Train & the other cd about Ufo sightings for the same reason given above.
