      I learnt a deeper love of music by listening to it as going to sleep. The mid point between awake and not being aware was the most amazing zone for the music to fire up the imagination wonder and phenomena of our experience of reality.

      aidan mullarney so pretentious. chill bro, Martin enjoyed the music. You do realize that this stuff isn't sacred, right? I mean, Weiss used to get roaring drunk and fight. Once in a brawl, his thumb was almost bit off.
      Get out of here with that attitude.
