I can’t believe I have not yet posted the video for Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights”. Above is the first version; in the official us version of the video for the song (below) her madness shines just as bright, and while the flow of her Ausdruckstanz can be considered psychedelic anyways, the first version video emphasizes that aspect perfectly.
Another epic display of well-mannered madness by the lovely (early prog version of) Genesis. (also: witness Peter Gabriel transform from a very early proto goth into a beautiful flower)
trippy acid house track from the recent nite-glo ep by experimental synth artist Stellar OM Source.
This is a restoration of the 1903 Alice in Wonderland movie that was unearthed just a few years ago. The restoration was done by the BFI (British Film Institute) National Archive. You will recognize all your favourite characters pretty well, since all them are based closely on Sir John Tenniel’s famous illustrations of Lewis’ book.
The song is taken from the 1969 album “An Electric Storm” by White Noise. The group started as a project between members of the notorious (not only for the Dr. Who theme) BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Among the composers who worked with David Vorhaus on the project was Delia Derbyshire. The state of the art tape manipulation techniques that were used on the album result in a highly psychedelic listening experience (similar techniques have been used on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, but not to the extend that can be found here).
Enjoy!
The Mighty Boosh is an hilarious, surreal, mystical and highly psychedelic BBC comedy show created by Julian Barrat and Noel Fielding. Besides featuring a talking gorilla, the show’s cast of characters also includes a variety of shamans and drug dealers.
Somewhat surprisingly perhaps, The Mighty Boosh, has not only gained a cult status, but also attracted massive following with over one million people watching the first episode of the show’s third season.
Most of the episodes are available to watch on YouTube, and if you are a fan of psychedelic comedy, you’ve got to watch at least a few episodes. You won’t regret it.
Here is one of the classic episodes from the series, The Legend of Old Gregg:
The beautiful videos of Jack Dubben make excellent, hyper-psychedelic use of morphing effects.
And here is another delightful animation by Dubben.
