Man, if I were listening to this on headphones, I'd want to do it lying down. If I listened to it while riding a bicycle, I'd definitely fall over. It's a really vivid musical fog.
What is it about certain music that it can mess with your inner ear and make you feel like your balance is unsteady? It's definitely partly due to the fact that you never settle on a tonal center, so your mind starts wondering what key its in. And the reverb has to contribute, too. But I wonder what else triggers that sensation.
