It was one of those rare moments when your actions and your music just seem to coincide so perfectly that all you're left with is this blissful feeling of being complete. I hadn't experienced anything on that magnitude since I first heard "Marquee Moon" by Television over 3 years ago, but by ED! Karma delivered it flawlessly. I decided to load up another bowl and threw the album on from the beginning and just drifted off into reverie. Such an amazing blend of electronic beats, ambient sounds, something similar to Gregorian Chant, and Middle Eastern music. Don't believe me, listen for yourself:

Oh my goodness. The memories I have associated with that album. Replace bong hit with some X, replace the "laying back" with erotic sex, and there you have it.
I played that album to death, eventually wearing my self out on it and never listened to any of their other albums. It's kind of out of character for me to like something like this (aside from the Skinny Puppy connection), but somehow it worked. It worked really well.
