The Beach Soundtrack
(The trippy song from a Chris Anderson soirée that turned me on to the downbeat genre)

I agree with oddwick. The top makes me think I’m looking straight down at the ground, but the bottom makes me think I’m looking downward at an angle and the top is actually closer to the camera. Then my eyes get confused in the middle and think there’s foamy water washing up on wet sand from the bottom.. until I look at the bottom again. Is this an archway made out of sand?

Chris Anderson? sounds familiar… TED?
Hey I am totally bewildered too… My mind "understands", but my eyes don´t… yet.

My favourite version of the illusion is of a white rounded shore surrounded by a brown muddy sea.

Alieness: yes, the Chris from TED. He introduced me to my favorite albums (Thievery Corp.: Mirror Conspiracy and Delerium: Karma) among others. And some of those familiar tunes reverberated throughout the aquarium, setting the sardines to a groove….
oklo: The single or the album of that name? I very much like Hayling from that album.

I had the whole album in mind — i’ve been listening to it quite a bit. For me it evokes the same response that Underworld’s "second toughest in the infants" produced back in the day.
Delving further into semi-obscurity, try 1992’s "The Infidel" by Doubting Thomas. To 2006 ears, it relies a bit too strongly on then-still-fashionable DSP algorithms, but it’s unmatched at producing a fine grain of bleak, suggestive detail. (See also the i-Tunes review, which is remarkably perceptive).
