Who ever you will talk with about trance parties will mention The Vibe. It’s hard to define what creates The Vibe, and it’s not that easy to find it. It’s a magical moment when enough people but no too many meet and share magic. On the dance floor you die and reborn every few minutes. It’s happenning probably right now, somwehre around you, in the desert, in the woods, on a hill, in a squat, look for it, be the vibe you want see!

24 OctA few recent works revisiting psychedelic tropes by visual artist Jimmy Joe Roche.
Pink Floyd – The Wall
13 OctEmpty Spaces as an example:
The complete movie:
Pink Floyd’s the Wall is arguably one of the most intriguing and imaginative albums in the history of rock music. Since its release in 1979, and the subsequent movie of 1982, the Wall has become synonymous with, if not the very definition of, the term “concept album.” Aureally explosive on record and visually explosive on the screen, the Wall traces the life of the fictional protagoinst, Pink Floyd, from his boyhood days in war-torn England to his self-imposed isolation as a world-renownedrock star, leading to a climax that is as questionably cathartic as it is destructive.

I am The Walrus – Across the universe
6 Oct
(Directed and written by: JULIE TAYMOR, 2007)
At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, Revolution Studios’ Across the Universe is an original movie musical springing from the imagination of renowned director Julie Taymor (Frida, Titus, and the Broadway smash hit musical “The Lion King”) and writers Dick Clement & Ian La Frenais (The Commitments).
A love story set against the backdrop of the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and rock ‘n roll, the film moves from the dockyards of Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam. The star-crossed lovers, Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements, with “Dr. Robert” (Bono) and “Mr. Kite” (Eddie Izzard) as their guides. Tumultuous forces outside their control ultimately tear the young lovers apart, forcing Jude and Lucy – against all odds – to find their own way back to each other.
Alifib- Trip trip Pip pippy pippy pip pip
30 SepIn almost every powerful trip, there is a moment when the language collapses. Words turn into sounds, sounds turn into colors, textures, and wordless thoughts. When we leave our language behind, we leave ours sense of “self” behind. It’s a beautiful moment of true joy, of unity with the world, of love. Robert Wyatt has a great talent to describe psychedelic situations in a very delicate way. Lately I find it hard to connect with the ultra colorful descriptions and manifestations of the psychedelic state. That colorful visualization or description is true in some way, but it reduces the essence of the psychedelic state-serenity.
In this song, Wyatt documents that moment when language collapses, or as he describes it here: Trip trip Pip pippy pippy pip pip.
