Psychedelic Indie Gaming: Spheres of Chaos

21 Aug

Another secret classic of psychedelic independent pc-gaming. At first glance Spheres of Chaos might be just another Asteroids clone. But after playing it for only a few minutes one realizes that this one is aiming  for your brain… to burst into millions of colorful pieces.

From a review found on the games homepage:
“Imagine a world where instead of using his experiences with LSD to become an evangelist of therapeutic psychadelia, Timothy Leary had instead opted to learn assembler and program low-budget shmups for pc-download.”

The Day of The Subgenius (2001)

19 Aug

A Bolex Brothers production exploring the cult called The Church of Subgenius. The preaching has a megalomanic cocaine rush kind of vibe.

Gathering of the tribe: OZORA

Come on everybody, let’s have a merry apocalypse! And what would an apocalypse be without our dear friends the mushroom-planting UFOs?

The dark side of psychedelia… Brought to you by Andy Warhol

15 Aug

The pop artist Andy Warhol created in the mid-Sixties the “Exploding Plastic Inevitable”, a series of multimedia shows featuring his experimental films, dancers (and actors) from his Factory, and performances by the band The Velvet Underground, who were managed by him.

The show, as it was seen live, must have been a very trippy, freaky experience. This did fit the experimental attitude of The Velvet Underground who, in an age of the “flower power” and “Peace & Love”, touched darker and edgier subjects in their lyrics and avant-garde sounds in their music.

Gems from the German Psychedelic Underground: Amon Düül II

14 Aug

This is one remarkable find in the youtube galaxy: early footage of Amon Düül II performing psychedelic punk freak-outs blended with beautiful shots of a strangely solemn german countryside. As far as I know the camera is operated by a young Wim Wenders.

Bonus track:
