Sometimes I like to listen to Mahavishnu Orchestra, but other times there is too much of what people I know call noodling in their music. I feel like this is noodling, rapid dense displays of technical, almost superhuman (or in this case superhuman) musicianship. It's like an orgasm that keeps on going, which may sound great to some, but becomes no orgasm at all when sustained. Gives the time to step out of the experience and see that it's just neurons firing away, manipulating me to feel a certain way, then I realize that I can feel anyway I want and the whole world looks like a dirty lump of senseless sensation.
