Psychedelic Miles Davis – Live Bootleg 1989 Hollywood Florida

9 Nov

bitchesMiles Davis might have been more into heroin than into LSD, but the renowned trumpet player was also becoming increasingly psychedelic by the end of the 1960s as any glance at the 1968 Bitches Brew album cover by Matti Klarwein can reveal.

Yet, even though Miles initially wanted Hendrix to play guitar for his album, he never got around to making a psychedelic music clip. This  video which mixes Davis’s music with some 1960’s LSD film footage amends this historical injustice.

Eye – Optical illusion

28 Oct

I’ve watched a number of videos which attempted to emulate the optical effects of psychedelics  through the use of optical geometry in the past, but this is by far the superior one. Watch the clip for 2 minutes, and you’ll be amazed at how transformed your vision will be.

 

A Taste of Freedom

26 Oct

“A Taste of Freedom” is a somewhat unusual documentary film  by Dutch filmmaker Jan Beddegenoodts. The film is unusual in bringing together two disparate worlds: the lively Israeli trance party scene on the hand, and Palestinian West-bank demonstrations on the other hand. It provides some uneasy perspectives on the political position of the psychedelic underground, especially in a place like Israel, where talking about “Peace and Love” is more problematic due to a highly repressive political situation.  The film is not without it’s flaws, and the comparison between the two worlds of ravers and activists, stand at the danger of becoming overly simplistic at times, yet Beddegenoodts largely avoids this by remaining evocative and descriptive rather than judgmental or prescriptive. Overall, the film is well worth watching.
