Just a lighthearted, pop-flavored fantasy from the musician MIKA.
Have a fun day :^)

It’s All Too Much
25 Jul
A colorful and imaginative clip for the Beatles’ psychedelic song, It’s All Too Much. Have fun in Pepperland :^)
Rendezvous – C Sharp
18 Jul
This is the music video for the first single from this new electronic band, Rendezvous.
The clip is animated in a very surreal style, full with bright colors and fantastical action, and also seems to hide in it some obscure message…
LSD dream emulator
11 Jul
“LSD Dream Emulator” is a PS 1-era game, it became cult classic for it being released only in Japan, and remaining widely unknown up till today. In the game you have to achieve no goal,there are no battles, nothing but exploring completely random environments. The main appeal for players is its insanity.
The only thing you have to do in it is to wander deeper and deeper into your simulated consciousness. Daring to face hallucinations that get more and more messed-up – without getting killed. Do you really want to get yourself into that trip?
The upper video was taken at the beginning of the game, while the bottom one (featuring the narration by the YouTube user who uploaded it), is from the final part of it.
Slit-Scan Carnival
4 Jul
This highly weird and trippy clip was produced using the same technique like the amazing Stargate sequence in “2001: A Space Odyssey”, slit-scan photography/animation.
Sailor Moon
27 JunSailor Moon is one of the super-successful Japanese anime series of the 90’s (It also has a whole franchise of manga, merchandise and other stuff). It demonstrates the popular genre of “Magical girl warrior”, in which girl warriors release their magical or psychic powers through transformation sequences that mostly include magic rituals like… changing clothes.
Yes, you heard that right. In this genre (That has already spread out of Japan), controlling supernatural magic is done by changing to the the right outfit. It’s hard to understand what is the idea behind this. Does it try to convey a commercial message? Or does it symbolize an inner mental transformation, like in “Synchronization” in Neon Genesis Evangelion (Another famed anime series from the 90’s)?
It’s only purpose is probably to look cool in the eyes of the girls that form the show’s audience. But as long as it is presented with psychedelic-like visuals of glowing colors and surreal images, it satisfies me! If you are looking for more clips like these, Youtube is just loaded with them.
Doctor Who?
20 JunWhat 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:
Tomorrow Never Knows
13 JunHi 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!
