The primordial aspect brings that subject of the origin of music again which was in that other thread. While it was said by me and others that music was about communication there is also another aspect that of losing oneself in the rhythms and sound of the music. Tribes could use music as part of rituals as well where they might take potions or inhale things to reach what they considered another state. In that sense they could use it to leave the world as they knew it and to feel some other kind of connection outside of themselves (which they would interpret as they wished).
