There a really crystalline sounding bit (is it in O.O.B.E.?) where everything just started whirling and dissolving into shiny things :-) Orbus Terrarum worked pretty well too. Yes, UFOrb as well. More dancey but still a brain swizzler. I saw them live quite a few times during that whole era and much of the time I didn't know where my head was at. Few all-nighters at Brixton Academy, mainly on E but the way they played twisted the usual E vibe into a much more trippy realm. With the lights and visuals entertaining the grey matter as well it made for quite a full on experience. I'm pretty sure I saw a dog running around on stage at one point but never had it confirmed by the people with me. Ah, such good days & nights. I didn't get to see The Orb live until later - the RFH show with Gong & Acid Mothers. What a fab night that was...

This morning it's the wonderous 5000 Spirits Or The Layers Of The Onion by The incredible String Band. Perfect with the morning herbal.

Those all nighters were awesome (so were the pills too though). Andy Weatherall DJing as well as Alex Patterson - Primal Scream as well as The Orb. All night long. I remember the visuals on screen were the best that I have seen to this day. Also remember Brixton being this most beautiful place at 6 in the morning. Hmmm.

You'd get DJ's playing up in the cloakroom area by the stairs. People all over the place. Brixton Academy was a great place for it, seemed to be very decadent and huge, lots of nooks and crannies. New Yorkers or Doves in your sock on the way in. I can remember seeing Primal Scream around the Screamadelica album and after they played I think Weatherall DJ'd and the screens they had up had some amazing visuals on them. Neil Cassidy flipping his hammer on a film loop along with some Fantasia footage. The Orb used to hang big white circular disc screens from the ceiling and project onto them as well. Those nights were as much about the before and after than the headline act itself. Wish I could go back in time and experience one again. I used to hate it when the lights came up, negotiating the cloakroom queue and all the 'normal' people on the tube. That's when the fear kicked in. Knowing I was sat there all sweaty and gaunt with huge eyes and a dancing leg. Haha.

espsummer wrote: i think its more of an idea of "what sounds good to you on psychedelics". no, it was left open ended but the most psychedelic record would almost neccessarily sound as good/out there without having to take anything to accentuate it. think other comments in this thread have almost got it in describing what 'psychedelic' effects are. The kind of thing that creates its own world or something, opens the synaesthetic portals and so on. Stevo

yeah, i see what you are saying. there were so many posts i didn't get to read them all and see what the general consensus of what psychedelic is. Its hard boil down that term to an essence. I love the seeds, the strawberry alarm clock and tommy james and the shondells and they all are a different type of psychedelia. Even though "crimson and clover" is often described as "bubblegum" i think that is a great psychedelic song.
