5. Cluster & EnoCluster & Eno

I live in California so there’s a lot of health and a lot of mystical things here, and there’s also a lot of woo-woo stuff, as well. I belong to this place where you can go and you can do what they call ‘contrast therapy’. You basically submerge in an ice thing up to your neck for a few minutes. And then, when you can’t stand it, you get out and you sit in an infrared sauna. It sounds like torture – and it kind of is at the beginning – but it’s great because all those old bones start to feel so much better. It’s like jumping in a mountain stream and then sitting on a rock.

They have a little thing where they say, ‘Bring your phone and you can hook up Bluetooth and listen to whatever you like because it’s a private room.’ So me and my wife will go and we’ll do an hour-long session in there. And Cluster & Eno is what we listen to, because it’s absolutely wonderful for that. It’s like your mind is floating off away. But what I really like about it is that it’s happy-sad. That’s what I love. Because it’s not just like, ‘Oh, well, let’s take this melody for a walk and we’ll come back 10 minutes later.’ They’ve really thought about how this kosmische music works.
