“Space is Everything” — TxK by Jeff Minter (llamesoft)

21 Dec

Jeff Minter has been designing video games since the early days of the medium. And since the very beginning an air of anarchy and trippyness has been a constant in his creations. Since Tempest 2000 he has been refining what I’d like to call the psychedelic “space” shooter (look here for Space Giraffe).

But he has released a game/ “light synthesizer” that is actually called Psychedelia as early as 1984.

Check out the man’s work! You won’t be disappointed.

“The Bath Tube Session” (Berlin, 1969) by Tangerine Dream

I want to add this to baba samas’ recent post of Tangerine Dream videos.

This video of Tangerine Dream’s “Bath Tube Session” in Berlin in 1969 might not have fancy animations or effects, but it really expresses (and documents) the psychedelic spirit like no other (just look at that trippin’ crowd).

“Love Without Sound” by White Noise

19 Oct

 

The song is taken from the 1969 album “An Electric Storm” by White Noise. The group started as a project between members of the notorious (not only for the Dr. Who theme) BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Among the composers who worked with David Vorhaus on the project was Delia Derbyshire. The state of the art tape manipulation techniques that were used on the album result in a highly psychedelic listening experience (similar techniques have been used on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, but not to the extend that can be found here).

Enjoy!
