THE REVIEW

A liter of kava-kava leaf infusion.

Let us prepare to wear traditional Aboriginal costumes. We paint our bodies for the Corroboree.

The effects are rising, and the dances have started, the senses are dazed. "Accelerator" transports us to the farthest islands of the Pacific.

The superhuman acidity of "Expander" opens the path to an immense forest. We run half-naked towards the place designated for the sacred tribal ceremonies, officiated by "Stolen Documents" and "Moscow".

The passing of wooden bowls containing high doses of mescaline begins, while "Calcium" plays nearby. Ready for the Dream World experience.

An excerpt of Lisa Gerrard's voice becomes increasingly clear, joined by the enchanted notes of a piano... we move through the air to the ecstatic rhythm of "Papua New Guinea".

This initially dreamy world is not what it seems: it is an electronic world inhabited by cyborgs moving to the beat of "Pulse State", and crowded with gray factories, producing to the sound of "Central Industrial".

And it is only the beginning of the Future Sound of London.
