New claims have emerged that music composed in the right way can have a similar effect on your mind to various narcotics:

Doesn't even sound that clever. Mind you, La Monte Young used to say that if he didn't transport you to heaven, he was failing. But perhaps that's a different, er, trip ?

I've known music at a live concert make my eyes mist up, not sad music, just beautifully played, and not just classical, even a very fine electric guitar solo! So what is going on there?? What are the mental processes ? (I'm a bloke).
