I do this with Circle's 'Brilliant Colours with Bright Ideas', and after
only four minutes or so, I'm pretty freaked out by the experience.  But it
dissapates quickly as 'Valerian' jars you back into consciousness...I think
that was intentional on their part, so as not to be sued by someone going
insane.  Might be dangerous to do with gybe! because their tracks go on
about 10 or 20 minutes.  Like my mother said, if you keep crossing your eyes
all the time, they're going to get stuck like that.

(BTW, treble is triple?)

I like this stuff better than the F#a#oo thingy, but others disagree,
sometimes citing the street banter on Track 2 as a distraction.  I don't
have the new one, though I saw them play some of this stuff live, which
sounded quite good. The amazing thing was how they got all of those people
onto one tiny stage.
