Turn On Your Mind: Four Decades of Great Psychedelic Rock

Book description Turn On Your Mind: Four Decades of Great Psychedelic Rock is a history and critical examination of rock's most inventive genre. Whether or not psychedelic drugs played a role (and as many musicians say they've used them as not), psychedelic rock has consistently charted brave new worlds that exist only in the space between the headphones. The history books tell us the music's high point was the Haight-Ashbury scene of 1967, but the genre didn't start in San Francisco, and its evolution didn't end with the Summer of Love. A line can be drawn from the hypnotic drones of the Velvet Underground to the disorienting swirl of My Bloody Valentine; from the artful experiments of the Beatles' Revolver…
Book review: Great read. This is a must read for all interested in psychedelic rock. It is a solid book for reference and is a very interesting read, with Deragotis' style easy to digest. He does shy away from the Grateful… thorough, solid, entertaining and long over due analysis that takes us into and beyond the dark side of the moon. |
