Turn on, tune in and drop out with this out-of-ordinary selection of psychedelic covers. Expect musical hallucinations, changes of perception on classic
tracks you thought you knew, adventitious synesthesia, an altered state of awareness of pop culture, some mystical rediscovery of your inner well-being, and a bit of slight psychosis concerning this Molesting Laura series and its broad use of music covers. This is heavy shit for the cultural and intellectual elite of Paris DJs' secret order. Is there anybody out there?
