Topic: I-doser: next step, electronic music will be illegal?

Hi guys,

I was reading the online version of one of the italian biggest newspaper, I found an interesting article about a company who is selling audio files with binaural beats that should simulate the "psychedelic" effect of drugs. Mind you, they even named the files with real drug names..

What's wrong with this? So far, nothing, except that it can be considered a great fraud... But if you read the newspaper article it gets quite
serious:
http://www.repubblica.it/2008/10/sezion … tuale.html
(It's in italian, sorry... Google translate can try to be your friend)

The point is that the main insitution for science research got involved and they are now saying that this is bad and can really be compared to
illegal drugs... and this brings to me the fact that electronic music is most of the time based on experimental sounds...
So if they make a statement like "electronic sounds can seriously damage your health" and even pass a law against this, then this means the  end of electronic music at all.

I would like to hear your opinion about this, maybe post as well some other newspapers articles from somewhere else in the world...

Alex

Non-Italians see this ridiculous article:

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/ … htm?stoner

probably has the same tendency.

edit:
Here a blogpost which sums up a lot of criticism on the article;

All your child needs is a music player and headphones.

But it doesn't end there. You'll find doses that purportedly mimic the effects of LSD, crack, heroin and other hard drugs. There are also doses of a sexual nature. I even found ones that supposedly simulate heaven and hell.

lol

I think if Kim Kommando would read VURT she'd feel something like analy raped and would eventually try to get it banned.

Why not just try it? I have those I-dose audio files on my computer for some time now and tried XTC, LSD and Cocaine.  Simply put on your headphones, turn up the volume and close your eyes. Basically you're just exposed to slowly phasing soundwaves. Maybe it's just the idea of getting high but some shit really did it for me.

Re: I-doser: next step, electronic music will be illegal?

well i started out with just marijuana and now it's lead me to trying other drugs. i've moved on to crack as well as methamphetamine . i just sit here on my computer for days with meth on constant repeat on the player. all my friends and family say they notice mood swings and schizophrenic behavior but i said fuck that and then i played the sound of hell really loud on my speakers so everyone could see what it feels like! muhaha
