Offbeat: A Red Hot Soundtrip is a compilation album from the Red Hot AIDS Benefit Series. It combines elements of ambient, spoken word, and trip hop to expand the ideas of artistic collage and spiritual transcendence of "the Beats". The album is an offshoot of a larger project called The Beat Experience, which explored the legacy of the Beat movement.
