If you want something else...

This movie is a kaleidoscopic journey in 3D, or more like it - you wear special spectacles - but they give you something else than 3D. The music's adequate, mesmerizing ambient tunes accompanying the color changes onscreen.

You may watch this in a completely dark room with the included incense glowing - for an enjoyable hour.

A full hour of sitting

I bought this in a discount bin for a dollar. What a find! If I had seen it in advance, I would've been more than happy paying the full price! Just one of those videos that been passed around my friend circle and never gets old. I recommend some techno music to play instead of the videos mellow ambiatic music. Whatever music you use, will work great. I had even tried classical music and it had a nice effect. I just visited their site, and apparently a sequel is coming out.

Now This Is Definitely Something Different!

This has to be the most unique VHS tape I've ever owned. When viewed with special prism glasses (two came with the video), the television screen is transformed into a kaleidoscope....one colorful vision after another! I found that when you tilt your head, the TV image stands out even more and you get 3-D- like image in the background. All this is accompanied by psychedelic-type instrumental music, kind of mellow Jerry Garcia sounds and slower "trance music" of today.

The problem I found was that after 10-20 minutes, that's enough. As colorful as it is, it gets routine after awhile. Of course, I never tried this under any influence of anything and perhaps that's the secret to staying with the longer. In my younger days, I probably would have loved this.

In the last five minutes, the kaleidoscope images switched to just those of colorful balls. Gosh, I wonder if this film was made for "stoners." Ya think??
