(Book). Turn On Your Mind: Four Decades of Great Psychedelic Rock is a history and critical examination of rocks most inventive genre. Whether or not psychedelic drugs played a role (and as many musicians say theyve used them as not); psychedelic rock has consistently charted brave new worlds that exist only in the space between the headphones. The history books tell us the musics high point was the Haight-Ashbury scene of 1967; but the genre didnt start in San Francisco; and its evolution didnt end with the Summer of Love. A line can be drawn from the hypnotic drones of the Velvet Underground to the disorienting swirl of My Bloody Valentine; from the artful experiments of the Beatles Revolver to the flowing; otherworldly samples of rappers P.M. Dawn; from the dementia of the 13th Floor Elevators to the grungy lunacy of the Flaming Lips; and from the sounds and sights at Ken Keseys 60s Acid Tests to those at present-day raves. Turn On Your Mind is an attempt to connect the dots from the very first groups who turned on; tuned in; and dropped out; to such new-millennial practitioners as Wilco; the Elephant 6 bands; Moby; the Super Furry Animals; and the so-called "stoner-rock" and "ork-pop" scenes.
