Zhala’s Slippin’ Around remixed by Aerea Negrot

12 Aug

If you already did like Zhala’s original track you should check out the remix by Aerea Negrot. Makode Linde’s original video got an edit by Moneymake Pagoda. And that edit adds even more of that heavy psychedelic flavour.

[Again, many thanks to Karo]

Psychedelic TV Wonderland: Nirvana on The Word

5 Aug

Remember the early 90’s? Yeah, Nirvana, music shows on television, mosh pits and… psychedelic blue screen freak-outs! Not that there is anything wrong with it…

There are some strange things going on in this video…  eerie and beautiful.

[Thank you, Karo!]

“H20” (Hot Chip Remix) by Dominik Eulberg

22 Jul

The effect of the panoramic view in this video is wonderful. It makes you feel like spying into a vast alien world that is continuously revealed and hidden. This strengthens the impression of an artificial nature that is constantly changing before you can grasp it.

Video produced by AUTO64 (Tom Phillipson)

Apocalypse Now: The Explosion of the Kurtz Compound Set

15 Jul

“Of course we thought, well, lets blow it up and photograph it…” (Coppola’s comment on his obligation to remove the structure build for the set of the Kurz Compound)

I suggest Apocalypse Now as another classic of psychedelic cinema.

One of the strongest psychedelic scenes was not even a part of the movie. You actually see the set for the Kurz Compound being blown up after the shooting of the movie was finished. Using the footage for the ending credits let to a lot of speculation about an alternative ending (check out Coppola’s comment in the link above for more information – also for better video quality).

“Needles” and “What?” by Bodi Bill

8 Jul

Two psychedelic videos by the Berlin based group Bodi Bill. Enjoy!
