While I don't review much these day, people seem to dig it when I follow my own musical tangents. I've got a new iPad and dove headfirst into doing the video creation myself. So do have a look at my psychedelic dive though the energy vibrations of some temples in Japan. It sort of doubles as my book review for Jane Roberts' book, The 'Unknown' Reality, which you should have a read into.And get into the full album here.
I can be a free-for-all, but if you want to contribute to the cause, even that single dollar brings a smile to my starving artist heart.The 'Unknown' Reality by Electrick Sages. Following down the razor-edge Katahdin path from rock n' roll to plastic soul on this continuing psychedelic journey. The 'Unknown' Reality was a book by Jane Roberts and her husband while she 'channelled' the non-physical entity Seth.
You don't have to buy than - but you should read the book. And you should listen to this album.Here's a kind of formal intro:Take a psychedelic, plastic soul journey into the 'Unknown' Reality with the Electrick Sages.
Scott Atkinson (AUS) and Matt Comegys (US) have been setting the controls to 'groovy' in the heart of Japan for more than a decade. The duo made straight-up psychedelic rock as Glaze of Cathexis and electronica as Damaged Tape before careening off into deep space on the good ship Funkinstein, with the ghost of David Bowie at the helm and George Clinton in the captain's chair.This new collection includes the electrode stomp of the title track, the leisure suit footstompin' of 'Underground Wonderland,' a trip of the mind to the edge of our solar system with 'O'muamua,' and the fractured, yet poppy soundscapes of 'Flash in my Wingspan' and 'Heat and Light.' The 'Unknown' Reality by Electrick Sages. I haven't been in much of a reviewing mood, but we're certainly in a music making mood out here. New Electrick Sages and even a Glaze release will be trompsing your way soon, but for now, how about a journey into the past down this psychedelic road?This compiles the trippier spoken word instrumentals and instrumentals that inhabited the corners of the proper Glaze albums. Run this way, though - and you'll find a metaphysical swirl of astral bubbles, infinite guitars, and bongo bonks.Atlantean Vibrational Sounds by Glaze of Cathexis. May you been hanging around the Psychedelic Garage these late October days?
Or any other time, really?Peel back the veil, focus past the illusions of werewolves, witches, and vampires, to join the Electrick Sages through a grimoire of sound through the ethereal unknown. Let them introduce you to The Electrick Book of the Dead. May their electronic tones serve as a stimulus to blast your mind between the bardos – between waking life and dream, life and death, samsara and samhadi. They’re wrapping threads of Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre, the Orb, and Gas around the science of the Egyptians and Tibetans to dive headlong into that perennial groove.Electrick Sages Scott Atkinson and Matt Comegys hail from Australia and the U.S.
Respectively, but they decamped to Japan around 15 years ago. Scott weaves tales and produces the visual content of the Sages from his perch above the Tokyo skyline while Matt darts through rice fields and between mountains in the center of Japan, painting aural pictures with synthesizers, guitars, and a tambourine. Under their Roving Sage Media banner, the pair has touched upon the electronic vibe found here, as well as extended forays into psychedelic rock, post punk, and plastic soul.Do note that tracks 3-10 are basically a reading list. It wouldn't do you wrong to look those books up for some metaphysical literary fireworks.The Electrick Book of the Dead by Electrick Sages. Now, this one is not music. Of course, music is the central vortex of my life, but there are so many other realms of thought to consider. A bit of personal info: I weighed 92km a year or two after this site began, swooped down to 75kg, and I'm now inhabiting around 78kg because I've got nasty habits and take tea at three.
Anyway, they keystone here is that I try to walk between 8 and 15 (or more) kilometers a day, and I accompany myself with podcasts for a lot of that time. I have been mainlining this one.Greg Carlwood is a midwestern feller transplanted to San Diego (which I believe was discovered by the Germans in 1904) who talks to the trippiest sorts of people, apparently from the foot of his bed with a joint in hand. I'm a little jealous since I now live in Japan and haven't had a joint in my hand since the theatrical premier of Iron Man 2, but that's neither here nor there.Greg touches on every topic that should pick the ire of a psychonaut - the conspiratorial, the transcendental, and the multi-dimensional just to name a few.
If you've got your face square in the physical d/illusion, some of it is going to piss you off. Do note that Greg will typically address the wilder claims with a Dude-like 'Fair enough.' But if you want to hear some folks go on about Hollow Earth Nazi UFOs, or century-spanning magical spells (among a myriad of other topics), this is the place to be.Now, I have zero connection with Greg Carlwood. I did send some of my own music along with the hopes it might show up in an episode, but judging by the opening and closing tunes, we've got different tastes (this only accounts for 1% of the show). SInce we've got 99% left, though, that doesn't matter. What does matter is that only half of the show is free, and the other half requires a subscription.
This goes from $5 a month to $8 a month on August 1st. I'm putting in for another six months before the price hike takes place, and you may want to train your ear on this as well. A price hike is always a mountain of dinosaur poo, but if there is any place to support one, this is it.Here's a link to that extended show.
You can still find the one-hour version on itunes ore other podcast hosts. I think it's becoming increasingly clear to the long time reader that I'm more interested in making music than writing about it these days (although I still get that occasional urge). So my main hope is that you will resonate with my carefully-crafted, often psychedelic constructions.
I'd be honored of you'd join us over at Patreon, where I'm trying to air out this process in real-time and would love to interact with you on subtle levels of art and metaphysics. Check it out here:I don't know why I can't embed the link, so I'll just leave this picture here. I've got a fifty minutes train ride to and from my workplace, so I've got a lot of time each day to roll whatever way. I often read a book while delving into the weird world of binaural beats. This is where you radiate slightly different frequencies in each ear to create a weird ghost frequency in the center of your head.
Nikola Tesla said frequency was at the core of existence, so following subtle air of the binaural beat can lead you places.We're focusing on the Sonic Elevator today, but there are myriad paths to take and I may even trace along a few of those in the future. But today you're getting links to a few of the ones that have been psychedelicizing my train time as of late. Cranking out some sounds from the Garage:Putin's got his missiles and we have a different sort of sonic weapon to unleash today. Dig into these twelve tracks of warped psychedelic chrome and plastic soul concocted deep in the mountains of central Japan.As the world's getting weirder, many more of us are seeing the dream for what it is. Break on through the illusions on this cosmic exploration of dimensional jumps, colonization, those pesky conspiracies, and inner lights.Head on over to Bandcamp to induce the engroovied vibes. While we do dig your support, the price is whatever.Weapons of Mass Instruction by Electrick SagesOr head to this link. If you are into it, maybe have a re-visit at the Bandcamp, where we added on some videos to the package.
I covered some of Iasos' 70's releases a few years back. I rated them pretty highly at the time, and I'd probably kick up the score a few notches these days. Here are those links:They have permeated my life more and more over the years. I've only got an 8GB iPod these days (a pink one just like Zootopia's Judy Hopps, but with an apple instead of a carrot - it used to be my wife's) and Iasos always makes the cut.Now - the school I work at tends to play terrible pop music in the lobby.
Sometimes I sneak to the computer and switch it to something groovier. Last week I threw in Miles Davis' 'In a Silent Way' and a Bob Marley best of. And then I thought to put in Iasos. Y'know, something good to study too.I found that the man has produced plenty more music all the way up to the present, and has some fantastic Youtube lectures on music to boot. The music was absolutely groovy in the lobby, and I had to contact the man himself. He came across as a very enlightened being over email and got me set up with some of his more modern music.You could look him up on Youtube for whatever, but I'm going to share with a full-on wealth of Atlantean vibrational tones that the man has been putting out for decades now. There's a bit more of the digital nowadays, but if you can put the soul behind those virtual instruments, then the ends justify the means.
Iasos is aurally enlightening souls and doing no harm as far as I can tell, so the digital ends can justify the absolutely engroovied ends in this case.Now - you may think that's cool, but dear Doctor, Iasos is just recycling New Age tropes. Let's reiterate that this guy invented most of those tropes. If you are familiar with Jane Roberts' Seth Material, I have pretty much considered Iasos' 70's recordings as the soundtrack to that. Now I've got more. And so do you!I'd head for 'Essence of Lemuria' to start with, and I'm embedding that one. Click on the banner and you can scroll down for the links to the aforementioned 'Inter-Dimensional Music' or 'Angelic Sound,' along with plenty of other tones to vibrate the Great Pyramid.Essence of Lemuria by IasosI went rapping about metaphysics with Iasos as well, and he directed me to the metaphysics page at his website. It's a fun primer to head into a playground of the mind.
Again, I'm a sucker for Jane Roberts and Seth and I've handed out 'The Nature of Personal Reality' to folks multiple times (most recently to dear old Dad). Did I ever tell you that the Doctor is an absolute Trekkie? I don't go to conventions or do cosplay (unless it's Spider Man), but I do watch the show in the movies on a regular basis. I can answer most intermediate trivia questions about anything Trek.Anyway, I've been getting into the Mission Log podcast enough to blast a somewhat politically charged message their way a month or so ago. They read it and answered it in depth on last week's episode starting at 27 minutes deep. Do note that I go by 'Matt' when you're in the same room. Here's a link, although I'd personally head for my itunes, where you can also find it.And here I am as Spider Man (don't own Star Fleet digs).
Alpha to omega means from beginning to end, since omega was the last greek letter. This must have been a common (pretentious) saying back then because so many progressive bands or albums have the same title.
I haven't heard someone say it since I was in university, which was a long time ago, and I doubt any person on the street would understand if the saying was used in ordinary conversation, although I think I'll try it later this week, just to get that ' wha? ' In fact, human brain size as measured by anthropologists has decreased of the order of 10 percent since cro-magnon times (about 30,000 years ago). Moreover, neanderthals, who died out in competition to humans, had larger brain volumes than our species. Is this reduction a consequence of better organization on the premise of more efficient energy use or improvement of maternal and fetal outcomes at birth - given the large energy requirements of the brain and large size of the human head? We must at least entertain the possibility that compared to hunter-gatherer times, it is possible humans have become less intelligent in some respects- perhaps for ex. Our memories, because the lifestyle of the pre-neolithic people required a huge amount of mental power, remembering social groups of up to 100 individuals, remembering foods to eat and not to, prey habits, etc.

And in agricultural times, intelligence was not in favour for many reasons. We see this in domesticated animals (such as cows) that have lost a great deal of ' intelligence' compared to the wild counterparts, thank god for them. Temporally continuing on, is it possible humans could devolve?
Of course, particularly in the setting where less energy is available for the brain (i.e. Food), or perhaps the world really does overheat to the 4-6 degrees (I mean in 100-1000 years) currently predicted in 'business as usual' scenarios, along with a fracturing of the ecological niche a group occupies. Because for one thing neither in this world nor in any previous society, has pure intelligence been rewarded. A very interesting study along those lines was carried out with birds, selecting the more intelligent ones in certain tests, they were tagged, rereleased, and it was seen they were not able to outcompete the stupider ones- on the contrary.
I would go so far as to say, the only time it was rewarded was when homo sapiens was in competition with the other hominids all over the old world, 100,000 years ago. The observation that the poor have so many children is as true today as it was 500 years ago and goes a long way towards explaining why poverty is still with us to an evolutionist. With the long perspective of geological time, a million years from now, it may be seen intelligence was indeed an evol. Error, since it committed its holder to a very short species lifespan and doomed a large part of the biosphere in the process. Instead of asking why more species aren't more intelligent, as is usual to ask today, the question can than be, why should it ever evolve since it is an evolutionary dead end. Although this is heresy to a physicist or mathematician, it is common sense to the biologist.I am very happy to present this new rip from master shige of Alpha Omega, an album whose style is impossible to pin down, in fact I would say it's sui generis.
You might even call it chamber fusion, to make a new genre. It always reminds me of Italians Orch. Njervudarov's brilliant classic. Especially the first song's riff really recalls the angularity of their album. Notice that although Steve Maxwell plays all keys, the composing (which is the n e plus ultra of this work) is credited to John Bellamy. I don't find much information about him at all, I would like to know if he composed more or if this is his one-off masterpiece.
Another good point of reference would be the midnight madness phase did, or fusion quartet comprovisations, very composed jazz rock incorporating a lot of orchestral-style elements. When I listen to some of his guitar riffs, they are so chromatic and fast I have a lot of trouble following the notes, of course I'm not a professional musician, but I have no problem with standard radio fare. Consider for ex. The title track, starting with a dzyan-like guitar riff repeated in different keys, then the bass keeps going up and down by minor seconds as the others riff on top. I guarantee no other fusion record from the period has such an oddball chart. It sounds improvised, but I doubt it is.
Or consider the track Dawning, with perhaps the oddest melody in all fusion history, played by a guitar and a sax an octave apart, sax with great wah-wah effects. Only in the last acoustic song do we get some more 'conventional' songwriting, with its straight-up E minor.Or consider the first track, after the drum solo, the re-intro guitar riff is first played a minor 3rd above on the keys, but then again he plays it a minor 2nd above- I'm like, 'Could it be-?' Is it a mistake? It couldn't be, it's the same riff but a half-tone above.
Totally against any god-fearing compositional rule there. Then near the end of same song, he plays a D octave up in the pattern: duh dee duh duh dee, a dead giveaway that he had a classical education, which almost of all them did back then, of course. I want to thank master shige again for this incredible-sounding new rip, despite the slightly scratchy record, I love you bro (and your work). And finally, I won't even get into the crazy guitar solos Bellamy plays, which are so off the blues scales or any scales they are functionally atonal in the Arnie Schoenberg way.And I would love to say, John Bellamy, if ever you read this, please comment and tell us more! I love this work of yours.A1 Constellations 9:32A2 Silent Voices 6:33A3 Sundance 5:56B1 Alpha Omega 8:40B2 Dawning 9:25B3 ReflectionsCreditsBass – Tony HargreavesGuitar – John BellamyPercussion – Ray DickSaxophone – Dave BrownSynthesizer – Stephen Maxwell Von Braund.Finally check out the band picture, esp.

Anonymoussaid.A wise man's opinions and comments are always informative and inspiring to bystanders!Evolution and devolution in an evolutionary dead end! Interesting point, indeed! Maybe physicists would accept that the conservation law of universal intelligence which means some get smarter while others move on the opposite way. This model might explain some phenomena we observed in the evolution consequence. Just saying, never mind!Love this album and the voice-over (in writing off course)!
Thanks a lot, Shige & Tristan!duran.
