Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'. Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely. -- Katrin Eriksson Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
