	The Transfiguration, Cosmic Symbolism, and the Transformation of Consciousness in the Gospel of Mark
		The Transfiguration in the Gospel of Mark, which occurs roughly at the middle of the gospel, focuses on a dramatic metamorphosis of the clothing that Jesus is wearing, in which "his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them" (9:3).
		The resonances that this array of images has with the other material we have discussed-- the transfiguration of Jesus, the clothing of Isis and Mithras, the initiation-garb of Lucius, the heavenly transformative garments of the apocalyptic seers, and so on-- are obvious and do not require further discussion.
		Thus the entire complex of late Hellenistic garment-imagery, of which Mark's transfiguration acccount is merely one example, may constitute a symbolically expressed collective intuition that the introjection of psychic energy can result in a decisive transformation of the self.

		Considering how many genres converge in "Transfiguration" it is probably safer to just say that it represents a very good example of what electroacoustic avant-garde, two terms often used to describe Electroshock releases, is or can be.
		On "Transfiguration", Artemiev and Frohmader collaborate on more familiar ground, rooted in rhythmic structures driven by synths, guitars and bass, gongs, and sampled voices and percussion, with a generous sampling of unusual electronic effects.
