Bardo Pond - Amanita

Many will be turned off by their first listen to Bardo Pond. The constant droning of the guitar feedback may not be to everyone's taste, but given time you may grow to like it, even love it, as I have. Amanita dates from 1996 and refers to hallucinogenic mushrooms and the psychedelic moods they induce. The word bardo comes from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. According to the Matador website, "Bardo is where a Soul arrives upon its corporal self dying. While in the bardo, the soul negotiates different stages and encounters various visions, created from the souls prior life experience. The soul either ascends to nirvana or returns to another corporal existence." If you want to have a spiritual musical experience, free your mind, and open your ears to Bardo Pond's Amanita.
