There's always Om. They're ****ing ridiculous though. Just new agey hippy nonsense. I read an interview with them where they went on and on about how their music -- along with along with lots and lots of drugs -- was supposed to somehow be a way to access the collective subconscious or some bull****. Just take a gander at their lyrics...


Quote:
Beseech choir through a grey veiled - arrival light.
And weeps no more onto the setting sun where efforts fade.
Suffuse the stream of memories and broken rays as dark recedes.
Transmute now remainder. Old Abydos. Forward the acolyte.
Summits ascendant traveler bows to celestial.
Disembodied legions salute the pilgrim seeker.
Reverentials to Lazarus echoes forth Osiric obelisk.
To leave the reborn form. Rise to freedom.
And posits the sentient onto the Nirvikalpian.
Sheds now the chrom auric shroud of untethered spirit.
Astral preceptors formate in consecration.
Transmits from minaret across beautified dawn.
Visage to auric accordant-form; in reascension.
Emits reverential tears in dhyanic refuge.
Arise perceiver.
Returns to sky; arrive home. Pilgrim seen.



WTF are they even talking about?!
