I've noticed this same "exaclty" response to quite a few things in my
collection. Much of it may not be subliminal, per se, but it does trigger
something deeper than what you experience on first, sober listen...offhand, I
can think of:
KLF - Chill Out (especially those Tuvan throat singers...wow)
Namlook - Escape (disk 2 with that haunting little girl's voice)
Tone Tales From Tomorrow
Bola - Soup (especially deep and convoluted when you least expect it)
Hrm...there are more but as I'm at work and can't look at my CDs, I can't
think of anything else right now.
Any suggestions for other powerful stuff for those...hrm...more parallel
moments? Anyone?
