REQUIEM FOR BHOPAL

GHQ

Indo-Prog/Raga Rock

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

drone music seems to lend itself to a completely altered state of mind, and easily at that... there is something utterly, unspeakably psychedelic about the psychology of a drone, the vast and aching stretches of barren, desolate soundscape, yet somehow simultaneously overgrown with vines, flowering with life, teeming with feelings of hope, love, despair, solitude, isolation, somehow, sometimes even desire and lust.

this kind of music taps directly into your consciousness, and it does so quietly, gently, painlessly, artfully, skilfully. The thick haze in which you find yourself when you listen to a record like this is suffocating, but it is warm and it is calming. It's like smoking opium.

Requiem for Bhopal is a very short, two track record on meditative drones, evoking images of distant movement on the ridge of a foggy, misty valley at sunset... something of that sort without sounding to "pretentious".

not everyone can understand music like this. little changes, no recognizable or hummable melodies... this is not pop music. This is celestial music, the sound of planets and stars colliding with each other in 1000x slow motion.

listen carefully.
