Those of a non-Tantric disposition or those who are convinced that one can only meditate in silence may not be able to get this, but back in the Rama trip we used to meditate to this. Also to other soundtrack music of a similar nature done by Tangerine Dream or Patrick O'Hearn. It was a trip, and often deeper than meditations in silence. Go figure. Here's one of my favorite Tan Dream soundtrack clips, with visuals that are just as lovely. It's called Love On A Real Train: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk30-AtiB4M The meditations I used to have (and still do, from time to time) set to soundtracks from Tangerine Dream were among the best of my life. Far from being in the least distracting, the music seems to allow a kind of flow state that very quickly results in any conscious awareness of the music going away, leaving only a strange state of silence in activity, in which any conscious awareness of the self goes away.
