I like electronic No Wave and New Wave stuff from the end of the 70s' to the mid 80s', dark stuff, and psychedelic music from the end of the 60s' to the 70s'.

The concept of karma is a beautiful concept in Sanskrit. The whole idea of karma is that every being has an innate tendency - the karma of ice is to be cold, the karma of fire is to burn, the karma of the trees is to grow and bear fruit.
