After hearing about Iceland's ring road I had one of those out of body experiences listening to an album on my headphones once where I was flying and swooping above the landscape following the road around. It was dark and overcast with an ominous but strangely relaxing feeling and the threat of heavy thunderstorms. The whole thing was eerily similar to the first 6/7 hours of their video of the event during the night.

And the tracklisting looks familiar too

For my own reference (since the video's blocked for me): Florence + The Machine ‎– How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.

I've heard it argued that sound is our most subtle main sense which seems plausible to me. For some reason music in particular has a way of opening up and gaining access to those deep unexplored regions of the mind evoking emotions that are harder to come by through any other medium.
