La morte E' spaventosa, non c'è religione che ne possa attenuare lo sconvolgimento che mi provoca...

Anyone know what picture that is? Is that a Bosch?

Play this to someone tripping. Welcome to hell.

It is known that Kubrick experienced psychedelic drugs (e.g. LSD) in the 60s

More than half of his Space Odissey's soundtrack is Ligeti's music :-)

@theprof1958 I was talking about the music. I don't think you can say that death is frightening like it's a fact. That's a personal opinion. I'm arbitrary if it comes to things like that. I can not know for sure whether there is life after death. No one can. We can just guess. It's human to be afraid of the unknown, and through history this stereotyped image of death has been created; horror, anxiety etc. Death is presented as something horrbile, which it may not be, so why be scared?

Scary music

[sErgEantaEgis12]

Every single note of this is a testament to the madness of mankind's existance.

This music is gonna give me nightmares. I was thinking due to the photo that it would be upbeat. Something I could shake me ass to. Boy was I wrong. I could only listen to a minute of it before I had to stop it so I could add in my little two cents. : )
