Just reading the year-end Dissensus music picks and Woebots Top100 rex and all, and I'm just curious to know whether most/least Dissensus smoke the magical herb (which I beleive makes perfect transcendent synergy with music listening/appreciation) for their musical appreciation.
Sure the tastes of most, if not all Dissensans seems to follow that WireMagazine-dub-world-beat-psych-artrock (Blisspop/Eshun afro) lineage-o (with rock pushed way back, coz yeah it duz get boar-ing)...but unremimittingly there IS always a link to the PSYCHADELIC aspect of all the sounds/timbres/yodels in the picks, which is why I asked the question to begin with.
Me personaly, yes, I like to have a spliff and put on some rex and just GO with what they offer and the layers they offer (or lack to offer). The psychadelic experience HAS opened vista of sonic possibility some otherwise inpenetrable stuff like free-jazz (makes alota sense - esp sonically under the influence) and of course Krautrock. Many aspects of dance music and the shoegaze sound come completely undone under the influence (due to their overt surface sonic) but others unlock a dense polyrhytmic/sonic texture (Afro muzaks, free-jazz, free-form electronica - Sun Ra espesh)..
Anyway, jez curious to know how big a part being *psychadelicatised* (or stoned/blissed/pissed/kissed) play in yr music appreciation, is the question..
