Reading this book and stumbled upon this Psytrance related segment:

”Vying for attention, forming visible languages, and in command of incomprehensible instrumentation, “machine elves” multiplied like white rabbits during the 1990s, becoming virtual mascots within psychedelic trance and ambient genres. In 1994, Space Tribe’s Olli Wisdom celebrated the advent of the Hyper Space Age with the driving “Machine Elf”—released on TIP Records’ debut LP The Yellow Compilation—featuring Mr. Spock remarking “visual contact firmly established, request permission to land.” In 1995, Belgians Mark Poysden and Stefan Osadzinski released their abstract breakbeat album Bitone under the name Self Transforming Machine Elves, a name also adopted as the moniker of a techno-chillout duo from Amsterdam. Having made his own ventures into DMT space, Simon Posford (as Hallucinogen) emerged in 1996 with “Gamma Goblins” on debut Twisted Records album Deranger. Featuring the twisted laughter of techno-sprites peeking through a spanking rhythm, the legendary track might have been the soundtrack for the hybrid habitués of hyperspace.”

This other book works well in tandem, for those who wish to delve further into the subject:

I've just started reading Big Sur, Kerouac. Been on an American trip lately.  Burroughs, Bukowski and Thompson.

Maybe I go on with Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 or something else. The Leopard and Total Chaos is tempting. Some Italian or French literature.
