THE 13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS Your Gonna Miss Me - Subtítulos

The Essential Albums: “THE PSYCHEDELIC SOUND of The 13Th Floor Elevators” and

“… it’s a paranoid and essentially perverse record… the music of the Elevators is breathless, claustrophobic, and oppressive. As if the doors of that elevator never really opened. suffocating like a cotton ball soaked in paraffin stuffed down your throat. No one smiles in the hallways of the thirteenth floor but it’s in the belly of this skyscraper in Austin that the elevator flows, bringing up the most insane and delirious psychedelic music of the sixties.”

Oh I, Rev, I also find it amusing, it’s more exhilarating than oppressive… these are personal feelings, savansadir.

More than the word (the album comes out simultaneously with Psychedelic Lollipop, just to say), in my opinion, it’s really the sound… what it should mean to be psychedelic. A word abused recklessly like few others. I can’t define it, let alone… for me it’s not a genre but an aura that assimilates with other sounds, giving particular “effects” both to the sound and to the listener.

This is the ALBUM… like few others.
Garage-Beat-R&B and Psychedelia… Psychedelia and Melody perfectly blended. Not some guitar effect or a computer left on randomly for 5 minutes… that’s crap, not Psychedelia.

Well… one of the 10, 5, 3 garage-psycho-beat anthems… you figure it out.
