Earth (Gaia) by The Orb (1993)



My epiphany came in late 1993. I was at a rave in the forest outside Sydney. While I was sober at the time, the scene around me resembled a dream by a chemically enhanced Fellini. I was lying on a small foot bridge over a stream enjoying the early morning sunshine (this was a three-day occasion) watching the clouds in the sky floating over me. Suddenly 'Gaia' began on the decks, I realised there was water passing under my body, water passing over my body (as clouds) and my body was largely composed of water. Three in One. Everything was going to be OK.
The mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall melt....
