The idea for starting the project allegedly came to Raja Ram while he was hallucinating in his hammock in Brazil. Thus, their first, self-titled album featured 9 tracks about Ayahuasca, DMT, Mescaline, LSD, Marijuana, Hashish, Ecstasy, Magic Mushrooms and Salvia Divinorum.

The second album, Heroes of the Imagination, was dedicated to famous inventors and scientists who dramatically contributed to, or changed, the course of history, including Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Michael Faraday, Albert Einstein, Charles Babbage, Albert Hofmann, Francis Crick, James D.

This album also contains the 2003 party hit, Acid for Nothing; a trance remix of Dire Straits’ Money for Nothing which samples lines from the movie Waking Life (the track also replaced the phrase “I want my MTV” with “I want my LSD”).
The 3rd album was called The Time Machine. Its songs were influenced by famous places and times in the past — The Creation of the Universe, Stonehenge, Ancient India and Egypt and Greece.
