Doctor Who?

What we are dealing with here in this batch of clips, is not the program “Doctor Who” itself, but with the various main title sequences that were produced for it since it was launchec in 1963 and were always styled with spacey/psychedelic visuals… But the program also offers some far-out ideas to fuel your imagination with (like time travel, communication with aliens, etc.)

Well, here are the opening titles from the original 1963 production, one version in black and white and one colorized version which looks even better:

And a web clip which compiles all the opening sequences from the show’s history, and provide different styles of sci-fi inspired animation:

1990s X Rave – Amazing footage

17 Jun

Watching other people on drugs is fun and interesting even when you are totally sober. Sometimes, it can bring you back to the way it felt for you when you were buzzing. At other times it is just plain funny and weird to watch.

This 15 minutes movie is taken from a security camera from installed in a 1992 rave where most of the people must haven going on incredibly high doses of ecstasy (Check out the incredible jaw movement of the dude at 2:10).

Ecstasy, incidentally, is not really a psychedelic, only a semi-psychedelic, and is linked to many adverse affects, so it’s best to learn about it before thinking of giving it a try.

The 1990s D.J. who uploaded this video writes some pretty moving words on YouTube, reminiscing about the times:

“In this video which is actually 4 hour long cut down, you will see how some of the people enjoyed the best music in rave culture. Some people will never see these days and some will have lived them so I dedicate this to you and the friends gained and lost through good and bad times. enjoy…

If you was there say your shout outs as you would have wanted…
If you have lost friends maybe you can add a tribute.

If you want to put a bad comment have some respect and keep it for your self..

This video is surely about the good times… Its about Peace & Love”

Cocorosie

16 Jun

Watching videos by the music group Cocorosie it is clear that there is a psychedelic aesthetic that exists in all of them. Their gender bending performance and twisted lyrics join beautifully created videos to create ultra-short film masterpieces. I was not surprised when I found out that in their childhood the sisters, Bianca and Sierra, joined their father who explored the traditions of American Indian to vision quests. In their videos they succeed in creating twisted realms of alien beauty with a dark side to them…

Tomorrow Never Knows

13 Jun

Hi there. This is my first post as a new contributor and I’m glad to meet you!

This is a very cool home made music clip for this amazing psychedelic song by the Beatles. The music is very trippy while the lyrics are some of the deepest I’ve known.

There is nothing like a bored bunch of teenagers to make for an exciting video clip. However it is open to decide if this particular one is subversive, or to be more exact – what it subverts: mainstream culture, or psychedelic culture. This clip mixes psychedelic imagery from suburbia with long scenes of eating a burger in McDonalds. It is hard to realize what its supposed to mean or of it even is supposed to mean something, but it smells like teen spirit, and I like it!

So enjoy!

Die Reise ins Glück by Wenzel Storch

12 Jun

Die Reise ins Glück (2004) – that is the german original title of “A Journey Into Bliss”, – is a german underground movie by Wenzel Storch. When the credits were running I turned around in the cinema because I wanted to see if there were others who had witnessed this madness. This is a work of love and anarchic spirit. It’s kitsch and bad taste on lsd. It’s the end of psychoanalysis and most other ways of making sense. It’s something that should not even exist, something that needs you to confirm it’s very own way of resistance.

Thanks to Arjan for reminding me of it.
