Hypnogogia is a well described neurological phenomenon that can occur when one is waking up (hypnopompic) or going to sleep (hypnogogic).
Hypnogogia is a well understood neurological phenomenon which provides a compelling and elegant mundane explanation for many claims of alien or supernatural visitations.
Hypnogogia is therefore an excellent example of how resisting the temptation to accept emotionally appealing and fantastical explanations even for very bizarre experiences, and determinedly searching for a scientific explanation, can lead us out of superstition and into the light of reason.

 LUCKY PIERRE - Hypnogogia
Containing a richly textured brew of strings and often classical backdrops, Hypnogogia is brilliantly accentuated by the warm analogue tones of its eighties linn drums and moog squelches, with a dash of modern electronica thrown in.
There is nothing flashy or contrived about Hypnogogia, just pure simple ideas reaching their maximum potential through the use of well crafted and considered musicianship.
Tracks such as ‘Ghost Two’ pull on the heart strings achingly, whilst ‘The Heart Of All That Is’ and ‘Nurse Flamingo’ are just perfect for sitting in front of a log fire with a sherry in your hand and passing out in a state of contemplative bliss.

Hypnogogia is a documented physiological condition in which a person is part-way between sleeping and waking
During Hypnogogia, a person can be conscious and aware of their environment, but also in a dream like state where they can perceive images from their subconscious.
Hypnogogia is sometimes known as ‘the faces in the dark phenomenon’

mixing samples, drum machines and loops to a great effect; to say hypnogogia had an affect is a slight understatement, whilst becoming melodic’s biggest selling record yet, it also managed to shoot to the top of many a chart becoming a favourite of both dance dj’s and rock magazines alike.
so for its follow up you might expect the weight to be on moffat’s shoulders to deliver, but he seems to have shrugged it off with ease as “touchpool” lives up to and surpasses hypnogogia.
whereas hypnogogia used entirely artificial sounds, touchpool seamlessly blends real life musicians with samples and this gives the album a richer warmer sound on which to build upon; the recruitment of malcolm middleton, moffat’s partner in arab strap, ideally provides the grandly epic “baby breeze” with its flowing guitar melody.

 DOTSHOP.SE - Lucky Pierre: Touchpool
L Pierre's debut album "Hypnogogia", released in September 2002, was greeted with all round critical acclaim from the dance fraternity (Gilles Peterson and Nick Warren in particular) as well as the rock monthlies and broadsheet press.
Where Hypnogogia was a collection Moffat's spare studio hours messing with samples, drum machines and loops over a period of around 5 years, Touchpool was formed and recorded in one go.
Hypnogogia became the Melodic label's best-selling release to date and the subsequent audience that was created for Lucky Pierre had an effect on Aidan, 'Your approach to music always changes after you know you've got an audience, whether it's 100 or 10,000 it doesn't matter.

Hypnogogia is a Perth based band formed in early 2006.
The name Hypnogogia (pronounced as pretentiously as possible) is based on the phenomenon of vivid dream-like auditory and visual hallucinations that some people experience in the moments between waking and sleeping.
Hypnogogia's music is often dark but always beautiful and gripping as it conveys a range of human conditions and possible futures from tales of lost love and ambition to waking from a cryonic sleep to find you are spiralling towards a sun.

 Hypnogogia: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
Throughout, Moffat utilizes the style of leisurely paced, bass-heavy hip-hop beats heard in many an Arab Strap song and casts a somewhat limited range of moods -- sadness to eeriness to outright terror -- with the use of sighing cellos, twinkling melodies, and plaintive pianos.
Despite the absence of Moffat's mate, Malcolm Middleton (the man usually credited in the duo's liner notes as "most things musical"), and despite the absence of Moffat's slurred miserablisms, Hypnogogia could've been released as a proper Arab Strap album without blemishing the reputation the name carries.
More importantly, Hypnogogia shows that Moffat is adept at conveying his feelings without the use of words.

The fact that those who experience hypnogogia and hypnopompia are frozen and powerless can make the experience absolutely terrifying.
Studies show that sleep paralysis and hypnogogia are common among night-workers, whose sleep patterns have been disturbed.
Perhaps the most important thing to remember if you suffer from hypnogogia is not to be scared of them.

Hypnogogia - that strange state between wakefulness and sleep - is exactly what this album strives to bring you.
Though Hypnogogia also gains a lot of its relaxing qualities from its repetitiveness, this album is capable of allowing a climaxing rumble to vanish into a hushed, echoed piano key at any point, without warning.
By the time 'The Heart of All That Is' comes along, the LP has already established itself as an unclouded, soothing tranquiliser.

 * Dusted Reviews - Lucky Pierre *
Unremitting mumbled miserablism is Moffat's forté but he doesn't say a word on Hypnogogia; this is an album of instrumental moodscapes largely built around symphonic strings and simple beats, laced with piano, horns, woodwind, guitar, and the occasional sampled voice.
While Hypnogogia's sweeping string arrangements tend to wash over you and the addition of Bontempi organ-style beats can feel a tad awkward, the major problem is that this material often sounds disappointingly generic; even when the arrangements are varied or expanded, they rarely seem to rise above the level of run-of-the-mill mood music.
What Hypnogogia illustrates is that there's a fine line between music that helps you sleep and music that puts you to sleep.

I have suffered from Hypnogogia for quite a while and as a child, suffered from Hypnopompia, this is common within my family as children.
One of my ideas was that the subconsciousness exists on another plane, parallell to ours and information is passed up to it from us, I thought that maybe that peoples subconsciousness's are able to communicate with each other without you even being aware of it, hense disliking someone you have never even met.
The night after writing this I attempted to face the paranoia from the perspective of it being Hypnogogia, and I must say, that although it took a big part of my consciousness to do it, I managed to turn negative statements into nice statements, just by thought.

 Textura
Following upon 2002's Hypnogogia, Touchpool is the second L Pierre release from Arab Strap member Aidan Moffat.
While the debut was cobbled together from pieces created over a five-year period, Moffat approached Touchpool with the clear concept of an album in mind.
The album's appeal doesn't stem from the complexity of its construction, however, but the quality of its results and, in that regard, the release makes a memorable impression.

They both released their solo debuts years before Arab Strap split, with Lucky Pierre’s Hypnogogia releasing in 2002 and Malcolm Middleton’s 5:14 Fluoxytine Seagull Alcohol John Nicotine releasing in 2003.
Both tend to remain in the mold of Arab Strap, constructing typically downbeat songs that are played with sharp emotion and admiration.
Hypnogogia was actually recorded while Moffat had quite a severe case of insomnia and he considered the album a vital component that helped him with his struggles.

 L Pierre - Touchpool : album review
The first Lucky Pierre album, Hypnogogia, was released in 2002 to some fairly widespread critical acclaim.
Hypnogogia's instrumental, sample-rich, orchestral-looping sounds came from five years of spare time work by Moffat, and quickly became Melodic's best selling record.
The first thing you'll notice about Touchpool is that it harnesses together the two faculties of beauty and melancholia - too often kept apart in modern music - and simply flows out the speakers.

Touchpool is the second stunning album from L Pierre aka Aidan Moffat, one half of Arab Strap.
Touchpool provides more of the same, and fortunately for the listener that means more of the same grand, sampladelic, atmospheric strings interwoven with light and dark only a member of Arab Strap could bring.
I find it comes naturally to hate everything you do after it's been released, because you constantly want to improve, so I'm already thinking about the next album, which will have more musicians and no drums whatsoever.
