#levitation
 
Awarded the #levitation mention to the review of 'I Often Dream of Trains' by Robyn Hitchcock written by @[supersoul] (very nice review by the way, like all the ones they used to write) I Often Dream of Trains - Robyn Hitchcock - Recensione di supersoul
 
An interview with Anton conducted just a few days ago in Austin on the occasion of the cancellation of Levitation. Interesting and original as always. You can find it here: It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine: LEVITATION 2016 CANCELED

Two fundamental passages.

1. I wanted to ask you about the last track on “Give it Back” – “Their Satanic Majesties’ Second Request”. Who is the guy ranting out a fire and brimstone type sermon on there? Is that John Hagee?

I’m going to have to think about that. The last track on this [gesturing to the album I’m holding]… I don’t know but the thing about that… That’s mistitled because that one is called “Enrique’s Dream”. It’s a piece of art. So, I’ll have to tell them that that’s wrong.

Is this a weird version that I have or something?

That’s on a label but mistakes happen. It’s like Ricky [Maymi] that plays guitar in the group was like “Listen, man. If you go and make one more recording and the band’s not on it – we are all quitting.” I said, “You have to come up to the studio then cause that’s where I write the music while I’m recording. You have to come up and wait ‘til it’s your time.” So, he did. He came out and he fell asleep so I recorded his face snoring and then built this whole soundscape. You have your lens cap on.

[Note: Yes, I was taking photos of Anton Newcombe with a lens cap on my camera! I am not a photographer. I am barely a writer. I took a few awful photos but enough to draw from. Hopefully, my illustration speaks for itself and captures the essence of Anton]

Haha. How professional of me…

So, he’s snoring and I recorded a preacher sort of ranting through a tremolo with these drones going on and… but I liked it. It’s cool. And the shit that he’s saying is out of control. He’s like “Run like an Olympian! Never been short of breath! And only Jesus knows where the last diamond mine will be found!” What are you fucking talking about? He actually says that. “And only Jesus knows where the last diamond mine will be found.” Fuckin’ who cares where the last diamond mine will be found? They have more diamonds than they could ever use. They hide them in a fuckin’ hole just to raise the price. It was cool, the mic was running directly into a Fender Vibrato horn going “bah bahbahbah!” and it was just like “merpmerpmerpmerp!” and I was playing it so loud just coming from a little black and white tv that they had in the recording studio all the way across. It was really a textural piece and I was doing all those drones just doing the knobs and in the other room of the studio Ricky was sleeping and I had all these microphones around his face and he’s just going “[snoring noise]” and I’m just mixing them. So, I just thought it was funny the juxtaposition of somebody snoring and…
 
Added mention #levitation to Dead Magik - Dead Skeletons - Recensione di Black Stardust

@[Battlegods] this is the album I was talking about, I tell you that the review does not give the right credit to an album that has truly been a cult object within the psych community in recent years.
 
I added the mention #levitation to three old reviews of the genre that I remembered having read in a past life. The first one is 'Featuring the Human Host...' by Hapshash and the Coloured Coat, written by the talented @[supersoul] Featuring The Human Host And The Heavy Metal Kids - Hapshash And The Coloured Coat - Recensione di supersoul
 
Welcome @[Battlegods], I greet you by gifting you this beautiful version of 'Anemone': The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Anemone - CARDINAL SESSIONS

In the meantime, a new review of a band that I particularly love and truly consider badass #levitation: Malamore - The Limiñanas - Recensione di sotomayor

Truth be told, I might also be in love with the vocalist, and I've told her so. Her husband knows too, as he is her 'compare.' I must say that neither of them seemed particularly impressed by it.
 
@[Buzzin' Fly], do you want to join us, buddy?
 
Welcome @[aleradio], may the force be with you, brother.
 
@[G] I need to bring to your attention what I consider a 'concern' (albeit not a burdensome one). Since various listening groups have multiplied exponentially, which I welcome with great pleasure, given that all of them are very, very active and well-used, and I don't mind being a part of them; I must, however, highlight the issue related to the increased notifications. Being a 'contemplator' and analyst, and consequently also a periodic commentator and responder to various notifications and interventions, it makes it really difficult for me to grasp the main points where I should contribute with all my wisdom and my well-known knowledge. Ultimately, is there any way to find a means to disable notifications for a particular group? I mean, a method by which I decide to be part of a group but not receive all the notifications? Like with the listens. Hello everyone.
 
#spaghetti (25) Lucio Fulci - The Four of the Apocalypse (1975)

Unconventional, transcending every genre. There’s mescaline, torture, and revenge, the myth of the West, along with psychedelic and hallucinatory scenes, crazy people talking to the dead, con artists and whores, and mining villages. Yet another masterpiece from master Lucio Fulci. As usual, featuring a fantastic Tomas Milian. Brilliant and cheeky Fabio Testi, beautiful Lynne Frederick.

One of the most beautiful soundtracks in the history of cinema. It alternates compositions and music by Bixio/Frizzi/Tempera with those from the psychedelic group Benjamin Franklin Group.

I Quattro dell'Apocalisse (FULL ALBUM) (1975)
 
#spaghetti (24) Sergio Sollima - Corri uomo corri (1968) Corri Uomo Corri

Once again Tomas Milian (now consecrated as one of the greats of the genre) takes on the role of Cuchillo Sanchez in a film by Sergio Sollima. The last of the trilogy and perhaps the least significant of the three, but nonetheless deserving of attention. An ideal sequel to the first film.

Soundtrack by Bruno Nicolai.

Penultimate chapter of a long series. We are almost at the end. Get ready...
