True dissociative sound

    Lot's of different electronic music genres.

    A sound to really "take me away" though - I'm up there, amongst the stars, a higher state of being.

    No chemicals (at least not synthesized ones).

    That's what this song really conveys to me.

    Lots of electronic music compositions I love but, this one is just - true dissociation;



    I think it's the high pitch vocals, affective lyrics, and perfect harmony.

    Amsterdam trance is consistently turning out a series of winners.

    Dissociation via sound.

    Couple of tracks that spring to mind for me when you say the above,





    I did have Dissociative experiences in the Asylum, full of chemicals mind you, but its experiences that will stay with me for life, i can still recall the 'feeling' (Thats not even an accurate description) of the experience, it was like i touched on something other worldly.

    The way i think it can be described best is a line from the Shamen song - De-Evolution that was narrated by Terence McKenna,see the red text below, or you could look for the track a listen, it is one that has stuck with me always,

    De:evolution-Shamen

    "If the truth can be told so as
    to be understood it will be believed"
    Human history represents such a radical break
    with the natural systems of biological
    organisation that preceded it that it must be
    the response to a kind of attractor or dwell
    point that lies ahead in the temporal dimension.
    Persistently western religions have
    integrated into their theologies the notion of
    a kind of end of the world. And I think that a
    lot of psychedelic experimentation sort
    of confirms this intuition. I mean it isn't
    going to happen according to any of the scenarios
    of orthodox religion, but the basic intuition
    that the universe seeks closure in a kind of Omega
    point of transcendence is confirmed. It's almost
    as though this object in hyperspace, glittering
    in hyperspace, throws off reflections of itself,
    which actually ricochet into the past, illuminating
    this mystic, inspiring that saint or visionary,
    and that out of these fragmentary glimpses of
    Eternity we can build a kind of a map of not only
    the past universe and the evolutionary ingression
    into novelty, but a kind of map of the future.
    This is what Shamanism has always been about.
    A Shaman is someone who has been to the
    end It is someone who knows how the world really
    works, and knowing how the world really works,
    means to have risen outside, above, beyond the
    dimensions of ordinary spacetime and cozooistry
    and actually seen the wiring under the board:

    stepped outside the confines of learned culture
    and learned and embedded language into the
    domain of Wittgenstein called the unspeakable,
    the Transcendental presence of the Other, which
    can be sectioned in various ways to yield Systems
    of Knowledge which can be brought back into
    ordinary social space for the good of the
    Community. So in the context of 90% of human
    culture, the Shaman has been the Agent of
    Evolution, because the Shaman learns techniques
    to go between ordinary reality and the domain of
    the ideas: this higher dimensional continuum that
    is somehow parallel to us, available to us and yet
    ordinarily occluded to us by cultural convention
    out of the fear of the Mystery, I believe, and what
    the Shamans are, are people who have been able to
    de-condition themselves from the community's
    instinctual distrust of the Mystery, and go into
    this bewildering Higher Dimension, and gain
    Knowledge, recover the jewel lost at the Beginning
    of Time, save souls, cure, commune with the
    Ancestors and so forth and so on.
    Shamanism is not a religion - its a set of
    techniques, and the Principle Technique is the
    use of psychedelic plants.What psychedelics do is
    they dissolve boundaries; and in the presence
    of dissolved boundaries One cannot continue to
    close One's eyes to the ruination of the Earth,
    the poisoning of the Seas and the
    consequences of two thousand years of
    unchallenged Dominator culture,
    based on Monotheism, hatred of Nature,
    suppression of the Female and so forth and so on.
    So, what Shamans have to do is act as exemplars
    by making this cosmic journey to the domain of
    the Gaian Ideas, and then bringing them back in
    the form of Art, to the struggle to Save the World.
    The Planet has a kind of intelligence, that
    it can actually Open a Channel of communication
    with an individual human being. The message that
    Nature sends is transform your language through a
    synergy between Electronic culture and the
    Psychedelic Imagination; a synergy between
    Dance and Idea; a synergy between Understanding
    and Intuition, and dissolve the boundaries
    which your culture has sanctioned between you.
    Become part of this Gaian Supermind.
    I mean I think it's fairly
    profound, it's fairly Apocalyptic. History is
    ending, I mean we are to be the generation that
    witnesses the Revelation of the purpose of the
    Cosmos. History is the shock wave of the Eschaton.
    History is the shock wave of Eschatology. And
    what this means for those of us who will live
    through this transition into Hyperspace is that
    we will be privileged to see the greatest release
    of Concressed Change probably since the birth of
    the Universe. The twentieth Century is the shudder
    that announces the approaching Cataracts
    of Time over which our Species and the destiny
    of this Planet is about to be swept.
    "If the truth can be told so as to be
    understood it will be believed".
    The emphasis in House music and rave culture
    on physiologically compatible rhythms, and
    this sort of thing, is really the
    re-discovery of the art of Natural Magic with
    sound. That sound, properly understood,
    especially percussive sound, can actually change
    neurological states, and large groups of people
    getting together in the presence of this kind of
    music are creating a telepathic community, a bonding,
    that hopefully will be strong enough to carry the
    Vision out into the main stream of Society. I
    think the Youth culture that is emerging in the
    nineties is an End of the Millennium culture that
    is actually summing up Western Civilisation, and
    pointing us in an entirely different direction; that
    we are going to arrive in the Third Millennium in
    the middle of an Archaic revival which will mean
    a revival of these physiologically empowering rhythm
    signatures, a new Art, a new Social Vision, a
    new relationship to Nature, to Feminism, to Ego -
    all of these things are taking hold,
    and not a Moment too Soon.
