Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from May 2, 2024 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

I think the "no-blues" ethos of Velvet Underground really connected with a lot of those groups too, as they looked for a uniquely european form of psychedelic music. That and VU's free mix with avant-garde concepts really dovetailed with their proximity to Stockhausen

Nice! In my early 20s, I had heard some jazz and didn’t really know what to make of it. I remember hearing Moanin’ and feeling charged up and thinking, “Is this guy yelling AT the music?” He was. Soon after Blues & Roots, I went all-in on Mingus
