Psychedelic Mixed Bag

Music i have been listening to recently, it might take a while to get through, but the rewards are well worth the time in my opinion. Some of it may be familiar others are more obscure.

CAN - Needs no introduction, just some footage of some repetitious grooves that i hadn't yet heard. (post 1 + 2)

German Oak - Summer of 72, 5-man Düsseldorf instrumental group German Oak entered the Luftschutzbunker (Air Raid Shelter) studio to record their first, eponymous album. The purpose of recording in a bunker was to recreate the feelings experienced by German soldiers during the Allied invasion of 1944. The strange acoustic conditions in the bunker made the music, which was a series of long, spacious guitar jams, sound distant and filled with echo. (post 3 + 4)

Current 93 - are an eclectic British Experimental Music group, working since the early 1980s in folk-based musicalforms. The band was founded in 1982 by David Tibet (né David Michael Bunting, renamed 'Tibet' by Genesis P Orridge sometime prior to forming the group).

Strawberry Alarm Clock - One of my favorite SAC songs, incense and peppermints off the album off the same name.

Comus - Very beautiful psych-folk band, we played this album non stop whilst driving the Big Sur in California on our recent trip. The song is called Song to Comus.

Brainticket - Black Sand, this one just makes me loose my mind. In a good way.

Quicksilver Messenger Service - Another very poppy one, but very cool feel to this band.

Oh and the first image is the band Comus.
Good Luck.

Terence McKenna

Terence McKenna is a philosopher, psychonaut, ethno botanist and art historian amongst many other things. It's rare to find an individual so humble and so full of knowledge, yet even rarer to find one whom can articulate an abundant ocean of cosmic knowledge as well as Terence can. His level playing field approach towards educating the public on the wondrous world of psychedelics is truly something to marvel. If you haven’t already, do some research on this man. Big love Terence!

Ash Ra Tempel

"Ash Ra Tempel (also known as Ashra) are a German Krautrock group of the 1970s, and are an example of cosmic or space rock." (WIKI)

'I dreamt i was on a shuttle gearing for take off, countdown to 0, force of the rockets propel me upward, my arms starting to swell, face quashed into my seat. Then silence, the vacuum of space encompassing all, i look down at the earth hanging, floating below me.'
This song sums up that dream to a tee.

Terence McKenna- Eros and Eschaton

A friend recently gave me about 10 hours of Terence McKenna audio, i was somewhat familiar with his work, but these lectures delve a lot deeper into a gamut of issues from metamorphosis to his theory of Novelty.This is an extract from one of his lectures.
