The goal is to achieve R.E.M. sleep.
That's the goal.... "For in dreams we enter a world that's entirely our own. Let them swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud."
--Albus Dumbldore, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (really JK Rowling).
R.E.M. sleep is when we receive the rest we so desperately need.
Before we plunge the depths and fly in the stratospheres, there's a waiting room as it were. Languishing in the antechamber is not optional. There is a waiting period. It's one of the cruelest jokes Natural Selection has played on us.....

| Vardan |
What would happen to the world you created if your personal vestibule was nothing more than a torture chamber? If every horrible thing you heard that day was then repeated to you? If there was nothing more than screams.
It would be your personal torture chamber.
There are many of us that are afflicted with just such a malady. We self medicate, seek therapy, but almost never discuss this recurring pain, no matter how acute it is.
How would you react if someone put your greatest pain to music?
Is this a pleasant idea? Do you think this can make you stronger?
Vardan has done precisely that for me. The time between closed eyes and R.E.M. sleep are the worst moments of my life.
He's even titled this album an a very insecure way. Ironically enough, that is the singular failure on this outstanding record.
It's brash and unconventional. It's painful and uplifting. It's like a stream of bat's piss.
This is the first release in a series of albums/CD Sets under the Nostalgia heading. Look out for more...
