For this long, long experimental journey, you need to first prepare yourself to be extra patient and expect things that are odd, but also drawn out. 'Transporting Salt' is crude and seems low-effort, but is far from it. Its effects are supposed to be hallucinatory and otherworldly. You could also use some complimenting substances (or if you are particularly zany, energetic and sensitive, then you might not need those at all). The album is slow-pace, draws its inspiration from many, many, many genres and styles and throws it into a heavily meditative psychedelic mix, partially improvised, partially live played, partially rehearsed and studio mixed. The results are weird to say the least, unappealing to some, transcendental to others. Can't say I belong to the latter, but I did find the experience engaging and stimulating.
