dmtree Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 well, you can say no to drugs of course, but the term itself, as applied to music, came up in the 60s with relation to certain rock bands who played music that was drug-friendly and induced hallucinations, etc. you can argue that it evolved past that point, but those are the origins.

Bahamut Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 For me that is something that is at least highly melodic and rhythmic at some point... and hypnotic and spacy.... and 'full', 'warm' and 'organic' sounding... Some stuff I would even describe as "organized chaos"..... it has to have a certain special touch that makes me say it's psychedelic.

seraph Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 My definition of psychedelic : Twisting the mind, expanding the soul, enlightening your senses, the music that stretches your perceptions of reality, forever bound to the beat, surrounded with chaos of sounds, noises and melodies. Psychedelic harmonies that define your perceptional cause. You move forward. You see things other people wouldn't believe. You trip. You perceive. You are swallowed by the black hole od derangeness. You are spat out on the coast of 303. You are borned again. Ressurected. You are finally fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapinho Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 who said psychedelic was an invention by leary? blasphemy! it was actually invented by dr. humphry osmond in correspondence with aldous huxley. and to be even more exact, if it had to be translated into english, the correct putting-together-of-words (what's the term i'm looking for, here?) would've been psychodelic!

Snapinho Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 if hip hop had this effect on people's perception of music, then i guess we'd be tripping on psychedelic hip-hop 397802[/snapback] listen to kool keith's albums as dr. octagon!! pretty psychedelic, if you ask me! (but youre right, that's the exception that confirms the rule... or something like that') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drosophila Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hmm psychedelic music for me is really just music that bends my mind...by it self... as simple as that... and psychelic is just when my mind bends...hmm...maybe I should'nt light this funny looking (good smelling) cigaret sitting on my hand... ahh heck Im gonna do it anyways!

echo void Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 when I listen to psychedelic music, I don't think about it as music... there are magical layers that make it seem so much more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergroover Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 actually it is (damn those 5 years of old greek at school did help!!!): psyche = soul delein = to be, to search so it would be: 'to be or search in ones soul' if you want to translate it directly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although imo manifesting seems a bit more accurate than searching.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
