I can remember listening to Muslimgauze albums sober, where it sounded like nothing was going on. Then under the influence of psycho-active chemicals, I would hear all sorts of drones and shifting layers underneath the repetitive surface. The difference in my perception of what was or was not happening in the music changed dramatically. I don’t know whether Bryn worked this angle of his music consciously, or from an “experienced” perspective. His music was so good at creating “bad vibes” in me, that even sober, his music could induce all the familiar sensations of a bad trip in me. Powerful juju.
