HEIDI COLLINS, CNN ANCHOR: Sonicvision, it's not your father's light show.
Here's our Jeanne Moos to take us on a trip.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It's a new kind of entertainment and if it comes across as a little alien, it's supposed to. This is the Hayden Planetarium.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The visual was really stimulating.
MOOS (on camera): Nosiy (ph), OK.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And titillating.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It sort of swept you into different worlds.
MOOS (voice-over): It used to be that sitting in the dark, looking up at a planetarium dome meant you were going to see stars. But at this launch, the star was Moby.
MOBY, RECORDING ARTIST: The guiding principle was to make something really cool.
MOOS: Moby mixed the music from groups like Audio Slave and Prodigy. Creative director Chris Harvey has a name for it.
CHRIS HARVEY, CREATIVE DIRECTOR, "SONICVISION": I call it a dream dome.
MOOS: Sonicvision is its official title. The idea is to entice a younger crowd into the planetarium for Friday and Saturday night showings.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I like the parts that were like a ride. Parts that moved me, even though I was, you know, sober.
MOOS: Computer graphics projected on a gigantic dome make for a 3-D experience that you can't fully appreciate on TV. Everybody had a favorite part.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Eyes.
MOOS (on camera): The eyes. All those eyes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
MOOS: Yes.
I've never done acid, but it seems to me that this is what acid -- an acid trip would be like.
MOBY: I don't know. I don't have much experience with psychedelic drugs.
MOOS: No.
MOBY: But friends of mine who have tried the drug DMT, I think this is a lot closer to what a DMT experience is supposed to be like.
MOOS: I don't even know what DMT stands for.
MOBY: Apparently comes from the Rain Forest. It's an intense hallucinogenic drug.
MOOS (voice-over): And like a bad trip on drugs, prepare to crash at the end of this one.
Jeanne Moos, CNN, New York.
