Lots of 60’s style psychedelic effects in this one, but it is actually quite contemporary, done by the Belgian band “Michel Drucker Experience”.

Go Speed Racer go!
11 MayThe Wachowsky brothers’ Speed Racer failed as a movie, but was arguably one of the greatest achievements of psychedelic aesthetics in the the history of cinema. The “Go Speed Racer Go” song clip is just stunning.

MGMT – Time to Pretend
7 May
This one has the whole trip: it begins with a group tribal hunter-gatherers dancing around a fire, shooting giraffes, beating on tribal drums and riding shamanistic power animals in the astral, the psychedelic realm. Andrew VanWyngarden shooting down his inner monsters with glowing fire arrows. Things get even more psychedelic when MGMT group members kneel down to receive a pill on the tongue in what appears to be a highly psychoactive sacrament. Then comes a homage to a scene from Alexander Jodrowsky’s avant-garde esoteric film the holy mountain, where the heroes throw stacks of money into an enflamed hole in the centre of a round table. Then Maya temples and the vision begins a new. Post-modern computer generated psychedelic aesthetics with primitivist, esoteric, and mythical themes – what more could you ask for!

REM – Imitation of Life
1 May
Not your typical psychedelic clip, but aside for the interesting techniques used to make this one, I find the changes in perspectives to be pretty psychedelic. One pool party, but multiple realities coexisting one near another. This video clip give us a nice illustration of the multiple universes surrounding us in life.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
28 Apr“Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain/ Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies / Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers/ That grow so incredibly high.” John Lennon and the Beatles get joyously lost within the vast landscapes of radiating consciousness in this classic psychedelic music clip from the movie “Yellow Submarine”.
