Music that is psychedelic

Let's Talk About Ceps
Thanks for the tip, mistersloane.

Zhao, it's cool you've linked to David Hykes again, I remember you hosted-n-posted the whole album here a while back and I DL'd it but for some reason only have tracks 5-8...could you be an absolute champion and post it again so I can get the rest of it? Pretty please?

Edit: whoops, there's a Rapidshare link on that page you posted earlier, never mind!

"Is radiation psychedelic? It's kinda the obverse of psychedelic maybe."

Not sure I get this.

"A trance state is related, maybe psychedelia is a sub-set of trance induction. Dr John, for example, for me he's sex music, coupled with - on Gris Gris - religious rites."

Yeah, it definitely ticks the religious box. Sex music, yeah, I can hear what you're saying - without getting back into the music to have sex to thread - it's loose but humid and sweaty.

"Parliament are the key for me with separating out that trance state into a psychedelic one. And that's definitely where space comes in"

Interesting. I wanted to hear (ok it's Funkadelic) Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow (for some reason I haven't go the album any more) so I was looking at it on youtube - there was a huge argument raging with a load of people going "this is the best thing ever" and an equally large contingent going "what the fuck is bollocks, it's just the same all the way through and he can't play the guitar properly". Strangely my girlfriend agreed with the second category - she's into krautrock so I thought she would dig it but she disagreed with me that there was any connection there at all.

Sunn ))), O'Malley's really into radiation and live, they're just like being irradiated with bass, it's very immersive.

I just can't imagine anyone not being into Parliament, they've been like a life force for me. I think they're too funny for most krautrock people, sometimes people mistake the humour for ineptitude or something maybe.

I have seen them actually. It was ok but I wasn't blown away - though a lot of people were or seemed to be. Earth were the support band (and Boris who were shite) but I only caught their last track or so which was a shame because what I did hear I liked more than the Sunn stuff.

I was surprised to see all these people slating them and surprised at the virulence of their reaction. And I was surprised that Louise didn't like that tune - she likes Fix Flash mind.

The drummer thought he was the tits, I thought he was a cunt.

Re Peter Hammill, sitting targets is a good album if you ask me (I really like the lyric 'it was a casual remark, not a curtain call') but Over, the one everyone raves about is a load of old balls (I really don't like the lyric 'is this what makes you happy, your excuses were so crappy', or the song title 'On Wednesdays She Did Yoga', I mean really!). Nadir's Big Chance is sort of alright too.

It's Faint Praise Night round here at STN Towers!

Unrelated PS: sloane, have you ever thought of doing a track called 'My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Father'?

yes this is probably my favorite in the sprawling and extremely dodgy mess of their/his back catalog.

back when i used to hang out with some members of the LA noise underground, veterans of the LAFMS / punk / out scene, i used to attend many shows in fucked up little dives. some of these shows, like a few Solid Eye performances for instance... imagine a gigantic dryer with a thousand different objects of varying timbres and aural textures spinning inside: complete stream of consciousness wall of a-rhythmic noise, but not drone, no sound is sustained... soundtrack for re-arranging mental furniture... like an hour of peaking on liquid L with a few DMT hits to boost.

but i could never listen to any of that stuff at home. it's not really music. they are experiments on your mind. and people in that scene regularly drop out and just disappear... a few months before leaving the US i saw one guy from that circle playing a toy guitar with sticks sitting by a rubbish bin on Hollywood blvd with that Syd Barret look in his eyes... i gave him some money. really sad.

yeah i remember first reading about Boris (and others in that scene) and was really excited. i checked out many of those bands and each was more dissapointing than the last.

hey Vim, seeing as you are down with just intonation, did you ever listen to Rod Poole's Death Adder?

Black Boned Angel (I mean the band, not the song) is good.

only checked the 3 songs on their myspace and i don't mind this at all. there is a sense of sculpting with the feedback. and not just throwing awful artless tantrums with it in the name of "psychedelic noise freak out". are these guys associated with Boris? seems to be closer to Bohren and the Happy Club of Bunnies.

Zhao, I agree about overtones.

But that's something I really love always, it's part of what I love about string instruments, I really love deliberately manipulating overtones that are dissonant (this is hard to do because overtones only appear as a sort of resonance with tones --so you have to be quick) and making them part of the song/music. Most people don't consciously hear them but they do know they're there. My bf is a cellist, I really want to try cello because it seems it would be fun to do this with really low bass frequencies even more than the higher ones of a violin. On sitar or other Indian folk instruments it obviously sounds awesomely psychedelic.

I had this professor Royal Brown who told me that someone told him that the universe vibrates at a frequency that matches the original A note that they used in Mozart's time (we've changed it and now our A is a little higher I think)...
