RIYL: Sleep's Dopesmoker, DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE

If you were following Sleep's advice in their (EPIC) song Dopesmoker / Jerusalem, then you would know to "Drop out of life with bong in hand; follow the smoke to the riff-filled land". Well folk, YOU HAVE ARRIVED!!! This is epic one-note guitar drooooooone with some soft slow moving guitar melodies and occasional drums beneath it. No singing, but some voices at times. Beats are slow and tame enough (you can't tap your foot to them) that I say this qualifies as minimum entropy.

THIS IS SPARSE, BEAUTIFUL, AND MEDITATIVE. ENJOY!!!

1.) (36:53) male monologue at 21:00, about two minutes long. Last minute is silence
2.) (37:33) at 7:00 quasi-chanted male voice…lamenting about his failings. Phasered effects come in at 20:00. Extended echoing male chants "ohhhhhhhhhhhhh". Fades out about 3 minutes early.
