Contact your trusted dealer, tell them you need the good stuff, make yourself comfortable, consume it, and let go. Al Cisneros* and Chris Hakius, the duo managing a "mind travel" agency in Oakland, California, will take care of the rest.
Already the rhythmic base of Sleep (their importance in the development and growth of stoner music is immeasurable), the two separated from the "hard" Matt Pike and offer forty-five minutes of bass, drums, and voice under the name of the primordial sound that gave rise to creation, according to Hindu religion. Bass loops repeated endlessly that never tire, pounding drums that seem to set the pace for about 20 rowers without being annoying, a slow and whining voice but extremely hypnotizing—in short, a whole series of musical taboos broken. Be free of prejudices toward music with just these two instruments, because the sound that comes out of Cisneros' bass is something you don't hear every day, thrilling!
Don't worry if you feel like you're flying through the Grand Canyon, it's normal, and if you feel like you've fallen and severely hurt yourself by crashing to the ground, don't worry, nothing happened, the record just ended!
I'm betting my next review that your (puzzled) expression will be: WOW!
Side effects: you might feel stunned, or rather stoned, for the rest of the day.
