Within the infinite shadings of tension and release, will and surrender. The inbreath is a sucking at the nipple. Warm, enveloping, humid, close, hot colours, oranges, reds, CARNATION PINK. This is the erotic world of everlasting delight. Squirming, sliding, very lovely and lubricious. BOTH MEANINGS INTENDED.
Yet! When I asked them, who is the puppeteer who pulls the strings? Who is behind the RED VELVET CURTAIN? I arrived instantaneously in a White, bright, Nordic bath house, mind was very clear with the white steady flame of Intellect. THERE ARE OTHER WORLDS.

"Thule" (Greek: Θούλη) was a land located by Greco-Roman geographers in the farthest north (often displayed as Iceland).[12] The Latin term "Ultima Thule" is also mentioned by Roman poet Virgil in his pastoral poems called the Georgics.[13] Thule originally was probably the name for Scandinavia, although Virgil simply uses it as a proverbial expression for the edge of the known world, and his mention should not be taken as a substantial reference to Scandinavia.[14] The Thule Society identified Ultima Thule as a lost ancient landmass in the extreme north, near Greenland or Iceland,[15] said by Nazi mystics to be the capital of ancient Hyperborea.

Another metaphor for the psychedelic phenomenon I’m talking about is that the world gets an electrical current through it. You can almost see this underlying electrical buzz through the world (hence the new age preoccupation with Om). The garishness I was talking about is when this charge gets too much to process; it’s often how bad trips happen. Your heightened awareness is no longer helping you focus, but rather suffocating you with too much stimuli.
Sitars, shenai’s and pungis are all great at capturing that kind of electricity and crystalline sharpness. In the last 10 years we’ve seen the whiny shenaification of dancehall vocals (0.57):
Which brings us back to this thread via big knob bliss blog’s auto-tune piece:
“The phrase “I can’t break through” turned crystalline, like the singer suddenly disappeared behind frosted glass.”

Mapping the synesthesia a bit, I’d say the difference between ‘the surface’ and that Bukem track is the type of light it evokes. The surface is artificial lighting (computer screens, shopping center lights, sun lamps) whereas ‘horizons’ is sunlight.
That’s where you get the emotional divergence; the former’s is a bleak caricature of capitalism whereas the latter’s got all these cosmic connotations.

the triangle geometry also evokes vanishing points.
the big bang. atomic facts.
it's no coincidence that kubric often used vanishing points; his aesthetic is very much glacial.

The atomic bomb is in that season of Twin Peaks luka was on about too and Kubrick in Strangelove. It acts as a sort of big bang in TP as well because it opens a gateway and births something.
