The presenter may seem seem a tad hoaky at first, but bear with it because it turns into quite a lovely, poetic and emotional summary of the emerging, global psychedelic festival culture from Burning Man to psytrance. Might make a nice introduction for those who may not be familiar.

Minilogue – The Leopard (Extrawelt Remix)
3 03 2011The Minilogue/Extrawelt soundtrack to this profound video is superb and really heightens the emotional experience of the content. I played it for a friend of mine and she was letting loose the waterworks by the end.

Brian Barritt passes
20 02 2011Co-writer with Timothy Leary of Confessions of a Hope Fiend and co-developer of the Eight-Circuit Model;
The writer Brian Barritt was a lusty, Pan-like figure who sat at the heart of the counter-culture for over 50 years. A friend and collaborator to such notables as Timothy Leary, William Burroughs, Alex Trocchi and [Goa Trance and Psydub pioneer] Youth of [The Orb and] Killing Joke, he was particularly active in the Beatnik, psychedelic, Krautrock and rave scenes.

Liquid Sky & The Living Room, NYC 1994
30 11 2010From 1990 – 1999, Liquid Sky was raver headquarters for NYC. Downstairs was Satellite Records where we bought our choons, upstairs they sold LSDesign clothes and raver gear and often hosted art and DJ’s and had a lounging area. We would gather there to get on buses that took us to out-of-town massives. We were so young and enthusiastic! :D
The reporter takes us into a small rave at an underground venue called The Living Room, which is where I went to my first party.
Ahh memories.

Shpongle – I am you
23 10 2010Really stellar live performance by the Shpongle Orchestra: beautiful, trippy, entrancing music and nice video too!
Totally worth the full full 10 minutes… and check out Simon Posford’s very agreeable hat and the funky instruments Raja Ram starts playing at 6:52!
[Full screen, 720p recommended]
