    This piece from Ekkehard Ehlers puts me in mind of a full-on, untethered attack. The tubular sound distortion. A world suddenly alien and cruel. The repetitive insanity. The incessant swirl of a carousel ride you can't alight from.

    Yep - that's it alright. Just like Van Gogh's art is how it feels inside my head most days. Also enjoy your informative posts by the way. It helps tremendously to cope and understand.

    Similar dynamics are found in the aptly titled Radiohead song "Like Spinning Plates".

    A cover, also, stitched to suitable visuals.

    That Orfeo song reminds me of the 4 hour slow spinning come-down after a fast spinning 7 hour attack. When you're in & out of sleep, in a daze, vaguely wondering "is this really my life now? Is this really happening?" Radiohead convey that alienated wonderment really well. Good link Nathan.

    Here's one that puts me in mind of when you're finally able to wobble out of bed. But perhaps you stay in bed anyway as the fog is still too thick. I live by myself and am always alone during and after my attacks. Urged by sheer hunger I may try and wend my way downstairs for a piece of toast. But when I get near, the extra 10 feet to my kitchen seems too much and I flop onto the sofa and just stare. The house is barely lit and silent. One feels very distant from the outside world. Again, that sense of pensive alienation as you think of your life with a kind of innocent awe at what's befallen you.

    It hurt my ears to listen to that! I can't get lower frequencies to sound right. Bass sounds awful and background noise causes my head to explode.
