The alternatives still held considerable potential
The essential sway or ppphhhhooot!
He felt completely vulnerable
The protection of the narcotic curse was gone
and the inclusive was only empty, black and total
Measuring boundaries is human but...
Faking dreams was God-like...
All purpose stimulated
All presence amplified
It was like this
That was understandable

TOUNGE's strongest, most compelling moments are those where the known is made unfamiliar. Commonplace vocal utterances are remade into alien sounds that initially seem as if new territories are being discovered, infrequent semblance to didgeridoo or Tuvan singing notwithstanding.
