This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Advertised as a nice little cottage, appeared it used to be a meth-lab.

is true amounts to nothing more than banging the table for emphasis while talking. In No Harm, Faust reverse the idea and allow a kind of meaning to emerge from just such a banging, insistent action. Just as you can turn any phrase into nonsense by repeating it to yourself often enough, it turns out that you can turn nonsense into sense if you insist on it having a meaning and repeat it insistently enough - though it emerges only half-way,
as a kind of intuited, pre-conceptual ‘sense’. The louder the lyric is barked, the more its absurd command is transformed into a categorical imperative, as if there were nothing more natural than the idea of taking a banana ‘because’ tomorrow is Sunday.
At a push this is related to the techniques Buddhists use to ‘point out the true nature of mind’. The Zen master clouts his student’s head to wrench him out of regular habits of thought, allowing him for an instant to see into the nature of things beyond verbal categories. Alternatively, the student might be set an insoluble puzzle, a koan, where the aim is to confront the student’s ideas directly and consistently with recalcitrant reality until those ideas evaporate in a flash of insight. In some schools of Sufism alchemy was used like this - as an impossible praxis whose aim is not the wealth of the profane world but a new- found richness of vision.
In No Harm, the more Jean-Hervé shouts, the more you feel clouted. The intention is not to bludgeon you senseless into a pre-conceptual, hippy community with the cosmos, but to open a chink in the armour of habitual perception through which you might get a glimpse of something new."
