Brilliant to hear this on RP. I have been listending to a lot of OT lately. And headphones are essential.

Bill, you made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a LOT.

At my next colonoscopy, I'm going to ask the Doc for a note for my wife that says he in fact did not find my head up there. 

Hopefully he won't have to lie.  {#Lol}

Just had a flashback of being at a rave... not necessarily a bad thing (although those days are LONG behind me).  I'll give it a 7.

Now on the other Tentacle, the Small Greys are a lot more, ummmm, "humanesque" should I say.  Providing a dreamy sort o'sleep while carrying out their experiments.  The dreamy state is certainly important, particularly when the Probes are removed after obtaining the Necessary Precious Bodily Fluids. 

As for me, the several Abduction Experiences which I have had were quite akin to this particular track.  The transportation motivator device enclosure from the Viewing Area over to the Implantation Area was accompanied by such sounds playing softly in the backgrounds.

Ah, such times we had, eh?  Not only at Area 51, but at the like totally out there Area 53 ... OMG! who would have ever guessed that about Elvis?

Say, were you able to figure out what kind of that Very Special Lubricant was used by those Aliens.  No matter what I use, I just simply do not get that same smooth glide ...  You know, the same glide feeling you get from the very fresh Shick Single Edge Razor Blade when Cutting bits of my Naughty Flesh.

Er... I love this song, so I looked the album up on Amazon, and it turns out this song isn't on Spirals in Hyperspace, or at least not on the version linked to!

I found out it's really from Waterfall Cities.

Actually, I bought the album after listening to this song here on RP.  When I got the album I yelled "Yaaaaa, what is this ?", thinking I would get more "ambient" pieces like this one.  Woah! {#Eyes}  It sounded like Mahavishnu Orchestra on steroids!

But "Spirals in Hyperspace" is one my favorite albums now.{#Jump}

Doh! Search the page I linked and find that the album is really "Waterfall Cities" Which information is wrong, though? Album title or song title? Anyone?


Just noticed this when I went to buy the song in iTunes—You can buy all of "Spirals in Hyperspace" but it doesn't have "Aura Borealis". If this song really is Aura Borealis, it is on Waterfall Cities.

Or Aurora Borealis was already taken by Meat Puppets. . .. I prefer the MP song to this, but this does remind me more of the Lights.
It has been years since I have seen them. I live too far south, now and haven't been far enough up at the right times to see them.

Good, even though I much prefer their earlier stuff which was much more of a live "jam" band rather than studio knob twiddling.

Or perhaps the author (Ozrics) chose the word for a specific meaning?

au·ra /ˈɔrə/
1. a distinctive and pervasive quality or character; air; atmosphere: an aura of respectability; an aura of friendliness.
2. a subtly pervasive quality or atmosphere seen as emanating from a person, place, or thing.
3. Pathology. a sensation, as of lights or a current of warm or cold air, preceding an attack of migraine or epilepsy.

or perhaps they were being drunk twits one day and said "no no no.. lets F with some english teacher's mind and spell it differently..."

Nice...First time I've caught Ozric on RP. Should play Waterfall Cities from the same album. Much more energetic that this cut; although, this is certainly a nice piece of music too.
