Gemstones of the far out albums too pure to classify
The list we submit you is just a personal first run through the dark side of the following composers’ art.
Compiling, i noticed that the albums here introduced have benn mostly recorded by one single person (sometimes multitracking instruments by him/herself) or by a bunch of people under the complete spell and complete of one single soul.
I easily realized that it might have been impossible any other way.
No one would have shared such strong utopistic music (and art in general)’s vision.
For some reason i point 1969 as the year of the “first implosion”. Maybe it is because the man on the moon…
As a matter of fact in year 1969, some of the most pure souls of the early psychedelic era after two solid years of excesses (plus previous various years of trying) evaporated into something intangible and musically too pure to classify.
For some of them it would have been a one way trip with no return.
In the years after 1969 many pure souls crashed and imploded with no chance to come back. We may even say we have been lucky it happened that way.
For our own’s sake and luck what’s left on vinyls and cds is enough to appreciate them and ruminate it for a long long time to come waiting for more pure exploding souls to add to this list
