Meditation Music purports to produce music and accompanying visual effects, presumably to place the user in a meditative mood. The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew into OpenGL-rendered windows, accompanied by frenzied drumming. Although the auto-generated ragas aren’t too bad, somehow the floating orbs containing flute players profoundly disturbed me. I mean, nobody really wants to see a horde of multi-colored sphere-enclosed flute players lunging at them, do they?
Perhaps this is a thinly concealed attempt by the primate conspirators to implant control directives into our minds, thru the power of hypno-flute-orb suggestion? Plus it’s not really fair — considering the variety of instruments, I think it would be entirely reasonably for musicians other than the flutist to also appear, each with their own unique musical action.
It is clear that santoor players should be wrapped, pig-in-a-blanket style in some sort of bun, while they grope at their instrument with those curved wooden sticks. Perhaps they could spin about so rapidly that they begin to vomit, with the resulting chunks floating around in the sky.
The guitar players, on the other hand, would be best covered in yogurt, and should collide heavily with each other on a frequent basis, producing a discordant array of string-breaking noises. Instead of a steel bar, they should use a New York strip steak, for maximum meditative effect.
Only two sitar players would be appear at any time, and would engage in “mortal sitar,” whereby they attempt to bludgeon the other musician with the gourd portion of the instrument and/or gouge their eyes with the special plectrum. Naturally, they would be equipped with rocket packs, to increase the excitement factor, as they fight to a horrifying and gore-spattered death in this soothing cloudscape.
Tabla players would principally keep up a jungle rhythm of 180 BPM, and wouldn’t provide much other excitement, other than occasional bursts of obnoxious snorting laughter, while muttering “heh heh.. he said ‘phakawaj’ … ‘phakawaj’, heh heh”
Finally, the violin players could double as the drill sergeants of this nirvanic application, and would frequently scream “ARE YOU AT ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE YET?? ANSWER ME, MAGGOT!!”
With these small enhancements, David Ahmed’s application could skyrocket from its current 8.4 rating to above a 10.

Posted by: John Wehr on March 16, 2003 09:53 PMAnd this is my problem, how?
Buy a Mac, buddy.
Posted by: Ladd on March 16, 2003 10:00 PMYeah. Like a web site reviewing Mac Software is going to care about the ability of PC users to read the reviews. Wait a minute, maybe those PC users are really Mac users who are forced to use the evil MicroSloth software at work and having been forever contaminated, they want to impose the same type of dreadful experience on their home Macs. Obviously the only place to turn to is PerversionTracker - the site that helps make your Mac experience as bad as your Windows worklife.
Hey PerversionTracker, you have isolated the perfect target environment, maybe some of these terible software vendors could pay for adverts once they realise how many of their target users are readers of PT?

Jesus. Thanks for making me wet myself at work. Sadly, I am using IE 5pointsomething for the PC as I write this, yearning for my iBook (and the love of my family, of course) at home. Thanks for the way you handle the PC browser "problems", it is nice to know that someone is willing to just work with standards. Too bad the geniuses who complain don't seem to realize that the problem is the browser, not the page...
