VIDEO: Indian in the Machine - "Look Inside..."

The full title of this new video from Indian in the Machine is Look Inside Indian's Magical Rainbow Aura Crystal - a mesmerizing dance of colour and light.

It turns out crystals make for interesting camera filters - holding the crystal close to the lens, Indian and the Machine filmed shots of the sun to great effect. So sit back and let this mellow, meditative track set you on smooth course this week.
