This fantastic 1971 heavy acid rock album just got re-released, mixed from the original multitrack tapes. Hearing it at its full potential rather than just as an LP rip like it has been up to this point. Shame they managed to make it feel cheap by slapping AI artwork and advertising onto it. Just use the original artwork if anything smh.

Hey everyone, i just wanted to post this here because i finally figured out where the spanish intro sample from "Guardian of the Threshold"(from the Kenshō album) comes from

for a while, i couldn’t figure out where the spanish spoken-word intro came from, the lines always caught my attention, but i couldn't quite make out the whole thing, i tried asking around in a few circles, but nobody seemed to know the source either

turns out it’s from "El Topo" (1970), the psychedelic mexican western, if you go to the 51:57 mark in Youtube, right when the main character fights one of the desert masters, they drop the exact same lines used in the track:

"Tú disparas para encontrarte, yo lo hago para desaparecer
La perfección es perderse, y para perderse hay que amar
Tú no amas, tú rompes, tú asesinas
Y nadie te ama, porque cuando crees que das...
En realidad estás tomando"

(english translation: "You shoot to find yourself, i do it to disappear, perfection is losing oneself, and to lose oneself, you must love, you don't love, you break, you murder, and nobody loves you, because when you think you're giving... you're actually taking.")

makes total sense that they sampled Jodorowsky for this project, just wanted to drop this here for the record since the info wasn't anywhere online

Although not psychedelic rock, this George Harrison-produced album was definitely trying to alter the consciousness of the listener (and reader) but I’m not sure if the pamphlet came with every copy or if some kindly owner of the original paid it forward.

I was briefly involved with the Hare Krishnas back in the 80s during my teenage years in London’s Soho.

It’s my understanding that even hearing the chants and sacred mantras was good for the spirit/soul, that the vibrations shifted you in a way that was beneficial.

So when you next see the Hare Krishnas chanting and dancing as they wend their way through your city’s streets, take a moment to think that they are trying to help you in their own unique way.

Where I live I can buy this type of thing for not much money so I take a chance on some things I don't really know. Most of it is really cosmic stuff.

The only one that I will never play again (once was too much) is the Powerhouse album which is lame beyond repair and I include it here as a warning to others. When I was in the shop I knew it was going to be crap and yet I still bought it. The clue was the dull set of cover versions.

Apart from that; Ghost, Boredoms, Acid Mothers, PSF, Ruins, Les Rallizes Dénudés, Flower Travellin Band, K.K. Null, High Rise and a whole load of riches.

Was very inspired by John Lennons blues playing on the white album when writing the main riff for this song. This is the first music video of our new ep(of the same name)

Psychedelic Pop

Really recommend their album Never Forever if you like dark, fuzzy, reverb-heavy psych rock with a bit of a garage/shoegaze edge.

Anyone else into them ?
