D. Trance 27

D-Trance 27!It was 1996.

There were just two sentences in English. Spoken with a very strong German accent. “Metamorphose is a physical and mental process able to genetically disfigure the starting structure. So as to tune your body into musical energy… this is metamorphose.”

The text did not make a lot of sense, but the strong German accent compensated for my lack of understanding. This was a song from my first (and Gary D.’s fourth) D.Trance CD.

Now, 8 years have past and the 27th D.Trance CD is being released. I’m happy because I can spend some happy times in my car driving and listening to the new beats.

Lucid Dreams scent inhaler

Lucid Dreams!In the US I had bought a scent inhaler in a bar where I spend 15 minutes sniffing up oxygen. I thought it would be a nice thing because I’m interested in dreams, but normally I don’t dream or I don’t remind what I have dreamed. Before I bought the inhaler I already enjoyed two strange dreams while I was traveling across America, so I figured that was something I would like to improve on.

Ever since I have the inhaler I sometimes sniff it before going to sleep, but until now the effect is absent. There is a different strange effect happening and that is that now sometimes I have some kind of smell flashback. It is just like I smell the inhaler even though if has a very strange smell that you normally don’t encounter.

Koyaanisqatsi

In the US I bought a DVD by Francis Ford Coppola… Koyaanisqatsi – Life Out Of Balance. The music on the DVD is by Philip Glass, and this music is quite depressing but watching the movie at the same time quickly takes you to a special emotional state. All this because some ex colleague once told me about Philip Glass.

It is almost unimaginable that a movie that only contains images and music, without any spoken text, can point out so clearly that we are working hard to destroy our planet. It is probably better to focus on the description of the DVD cover. “Koyaanisqatsi contrasts the tranquil beauty of nature with the frenzied hum of contemporary urban society.”

Oh well, I’ll just go and sit in the sun for a while. :-p

Lasciami qui
Lasciami stare
Lasciami così
Non dire una parola che
Non sia d’amore
Per me
Per la mia vita che
E’ tutto quello che ho
E’ tutto quello che io ho e non è ancora
Finita
Finita…

Slowmotion 4 Me

In America on the side of New York there was one song being played on the radio every day, and sometimes even more then once.. Juvenile. But the bad thing was it was a special edited version with a lot of ‘holes’ in the lyrics. I was curious about these holes so I searched for the song on KaZaA and this resulted in a surprise. The holes in the edited version were not so bad at all.

Other nice songs I remember from America:
Gap Band – Ride the White Pony
B52’s – Love Shack
Goo Goo Dolls – Iris

Goo Goo Dolls!!

:-D

Today I did a tour over an aircraft carrier that was docked here in the harbor of San Diego. On the aircraft carrier they had constructed a very big stage. After informing about the stage I was told that there would be a concert tonight by the Goo Goo Dolls. Sadly it is for some private party and I was unable to arrange a ticket, but still I think I’ll pass by the docks tonight to see if I can enjoy a little of the concert.

Update: Okay, the Goo Goo Dolls are okay, but the gross of their songs is just regular. They only have one good song and this song is what made them famous. It did sound very good being played on a massive boat.

Oxygen (O2)

Yesterday I visited by first oxygen bar. For a mere $12 they supplied you with 15 minutes of oxygen. It was a strange experience. A little tube under your nose and four columns with colored liquid that adds an aroma to the oxygen that flows through it. Meanwhile you got massaged by all kinds of strange things. A strange spider like thing that they moved over the skin of your head and many strange apparatus to massage your back.

The enriched oxygen did seem to have an effect… When I left the oxygen bar I noticed my senses were a bit clearer and sharper than normal for about one minute. After this single minute the effect was gone.

Before leaving the oxygen bar I did buy a lucent dreams nose inhaler. It was an inhaler with a typical smell, that should cause dreams to become more lucent. The only thing I noticed was that when I wake up the next day I was unaware of any dream…. but I was also still wearing my clothes and had my contacts in my eyes.

Conclusion… the sleep effect works, but the dreams still need to arrive.
