"According to the researchers, approximately five per cent of us hear voices in the head, even if otherwise healthy. This number is based on research from several countries and surveys.

Disponibilité gratuite, sur Internet, de l’album “Vortex of the trash”, par un quartet américain ayant choisi de se baptiser : The Julian Jaynes.
Enregistré en avril 2009 au studios Thinking Dogs à Houston au Texas, l’album consiste en quatre mouvements de plus de 10 mn chacun, du jazz-rock improvisé à base de claviers et de saxophone (“Instrumental, Improvizational Jam Band with loads of Saxophone and Organ”).
Le titre “Vortex of the trash” fait référence à l’impressionnante masse de déchets qui flotte librement dans l’océan Pacifique depuis des années, loin des yeux des consommateurs que nous sommes (http://www.doobybrain.com/2008/02/08/vortex-of-trash-in-the-pacific-ocean/).
Le groupe The Julian Jaynes indique comme influences, sur son MySpace : “Psychology, sociology, philosophy, theology, conciousness, bicameralism, ancient literature, felines, monkeys, alligators, theatre, cave art, neuroscience, ritual, The Pixies.”
