"We loosen our anxieties with the help of deafening sounds in a temple of fragmentation. These assaults on our senses all have one purpose: to smash the separateness of everyone present; to expose feeling and break through thinking; to make us live, in the phrase of Alan Watts, ‘a perpetual uncalculated life in the present'; a sort of electronic Buddhism in place of sequential perception." - Alan Harrington, 1969
