The Sleep composition “Dopesmoker” (alternately known as “Jerusalem” in a different, edited format) is the quintessential song for packing one up, lighting it and following the smoke trails to another world. Comprised of primarily one riff that deviates then returns to the source, the song/album is a drone-y, hour-long masterstroke that encourages the listener to get lost in i’s circular format, only to hear that crushing riff come back again and again. Hearing it on vinyl is a must.
