The Mystery of the Yeti - The Mystery of the Yeti, 1996

A true classic portion of psybient history brought to us by some big boys of psy. Utterly ambient and meditative in not only music but concept as well. One of the most chilled out records out there and an essential for any trance fans. The atmosphere is otherworldly and often overpowers the psytrance aspect of the aural journey, ruled by spiritual field recordings and psychedelic electronics and hypnotics.

this is what it's about if you wanna know

Quote:
In twelve Himalayan villages, twelve "elder mystics" each dream that there is a connection between the yeti and extraterrestrial life. With visions to guide them, the elders lead 2000 people from their upland villages higher into the mountains by starlight. At dawn, they sound bejeweled dungchen (long trumpets) to accompany the chants of om by the monks who remain in the villages below. When the echoes recede, the elders sound a gong and merrily continue their journey.

The travelers make music as they go. They cross a swiftly-flowing river in canoes, and pass through "the tunnel of Dead Spirits", where they hear strange voices and other curious sounds. After braving a fierce thunderstorm, they smoke a sacrament, resume their rhythmic music-making, and enter a trance. The music has a mysterious effect on them. The crowd of 2000 simultaneously shouts in joy. Carrying torches, they arrange themselves into a giant mandala.

Their focused attention summons a shaman who levitates above them. The shaman, radiating multicolored light, performs an ecstatic dance. Beams and discs of light pass through the people, who suddenly understand the yeti. The light fills their minds with poetry and music. Spontaneously, they awaken to the cosmic consciousness. The shaman shows them the yeti, who is a wise and compassionate extraterrestrial being. The yeti's form changes to an elaborate geometric pattern, and merges with the shaman. In a flash they disappear, replaced with a vessel that can travel through other dimensions of cosmic consciousness.

Cop Shoot Cop - Release, 1994

I can't rightly mention just one CSC album as shaping my life, when they're all flooding with nostalgia. This one is their most accessible with horns and pianos and ****. The beginning of Ambulance Song is one of my earliest memories.



Cop Shoot Cop - White Noise, 1991

Another CD we had. Really great.



Firewater - The Ponzi Scheme, 1998

After CSC my man Tod A formed Firewater, only furthering his status as a god tier songwriter in my eyes and among the musicians I admire most. Eventually they'd nail the world punk idea but this one is underdeveloped in that regard. Either way, some more early memories littered all over this album, lyrics I knew before I could even talk.



Firewater - The Man on the Burning Tightrope, 2003

Dark Days is possibly my favorite Firewater track.



Firewater - The Golden Hour, 2008

Not as instrumental in the shaping of my life as the others being that it's more recent, this is still my favorite and the one I listen to most. It's the pinnacle of their sound, shedding the ambiguous identity of prior releases and maximizing the klezmer elements.

Between CSC and Firewater, I pretty much grew up with Tod telling it how it is. Almost feels like a personal friend.

Love and Rockets - Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven, 1985

Coming from my mom's half of the collection, this was a stark contrast to Bauhaus, instead enveloping the ears in a light, lush, and psychedelic sea of coolness. It's just so nice to listen to, and I should know, I have a lot. It was one of the tapes I brought when my friend and I hitchhiked to Santa Barbara. We listened to it every night that week.

Cleric - Regressions, 2010

The debut album of Cleric was and still is unlike anything you may have heard before. It's such a bold statement, right off the bat they weren't ****ing around. It's pretty long and some material could be cut but it's hard to deny the obeliskness of Regressions. Combining noise/drone and mathcore is already a novel idea, but it's just not enough, too much and it's never enough. I've had it this since it came out but can't remember where from.

[b]Flipper - Gone Fishin, 1984[/youtube]

I listened to this before Generic Flipper and thusly it holds a more significant plot in my heart. It had me instantly with the Joy Division styled opener The Light, the Sound, the Rhythm, the Noise, always gonna be one of my favorite songs ever. Something about makes me wish it would never end.
