 Topic: Obscure old prog films?
Posted: August 23 2005 at 08:14 |
yeah nice! I've worked on an article a few months ago about the current use of drugs in central & south America. I arrived at the conclusion that the way to consume hallucinogenic plants is by far different that ours. Over there every use of plants, mushrooms is strictly codified and resonates as a mystical experience with higher divinites and sacred kinships. I think that for use these these drugs procure no "trancendental" visions, just an other state of consciousness. The reason is that we haven't got a structured imaginary to receive dreamings interpretations. We can only live "vibrations", "flip" but not passing the frontieer of the travel to communicate directly with the cosmos and the nature

good call Friede. Great psych music too! I love that movie!
fairly acurate description of an acid trip! In the same genre but much later , Altered states depicts Peyotl trips! Scary but the only two time I did that , I certainly had no nightmarish dreams/visions but halucinate I did!

I love "the trip" and "psych out"
You talk about a movie called "altered states"?
Lt's start a discussion about our respectives power-plants experiences!
i never did peyotl, but LSA |
Salut Olivier, ca faisait longtemps!
I only had the chance to do Peyotl twice in my life. deeply hallucinogenic. I was on the Hopi Indian reserve in SW US for a wedding as one of my buddies was getting married. I stayed on different reseves for two weeks at the time , being treated with the utmost respect as Amerindians have for Europeans-caucasians that are sympathetic to their plights.
It is a cactus that you chew to suck out the juice and spit out the pulp (I think you may have serious problem if you swallow it. Some 45 mins later , your trip starts for roughly 12 hours going by a phase of sleep or two.
In Mexico , they do another cactus part called Jikuri, I think it is either the flower or a sort of fruit , but can lead people to really crazy acts , sometimes pushing to violence if not properly assisted. I never tried that one although I spent about one year in Mexico , (either for the job or holidays) but I was a little wary also.

There's the "Tommy" movie, I guess. It's really cheesy, though. It's pretty funny to see Roger Daltrey get smacked about, though.

there was a German tv-serial whodunnit of 2 or 3 parts named "Das
Messer" ("The Knife"), that had "Spoon" by Can as title melody. seems
they got confused about which piece of cutlery they used; I have never
seen anyone killed by a spoon

"Alice in the cities" (by wenders at his beginnings) is not prog at all, but it's a lovely road movie (one of my favorites) which contains a very emotional/ repetitive guitar soundtrack by CAN

A history of porn music:
70's - really bad jazz
80's - really bad techno
90's - really bad metal
so is the next logical step for the 2000's really bad prog. (no offense to Klaus Schulze, I'm sure he did a fine job, but could prog be the next genre to be bastardized into bad porno soundtracks?)
Hey wait a second, now you all know what a pervert I am!

Koyaanisqatsi is a real head spinner. Music is by Phillip Glass. Not exactly prog, but comes close.
If you're not familiar with this film, it's basically a collage of natural and industrial images from around the U.S. Some done in time lapse (speeded up). The title is the Hopi Indian word for "life out of balance". Highly acclaimed and recommended.

There is a German tv-movie from 1976 called "Notwehr" ("Self-Defense").
It features Guru Guru as actors, who basically play themselves, only
they are named "Rattenfänger" ("Rat Catchers") in the movie. The
line-up is drummer Mani Neumeier (whose acting is superb, by the way!),
Sepp Jandrisits on guitar, Jogi Karpenkiel on bass and Roland Schaeffer
on saxes and guitar.
The story is this: The Ratttenfänger band moves into a rural area (into
a lonely farm house), but the conservative inhabitants of the village
they moved to distrust them. Tension arises, and finally one of the
associated members of the band (the girl friend of their manager, who
also lives with the band in the movie) is shot by one of the people in
the village. Of course there is a lot of music in the movie, and seeng
the acting of Mani Neumeier is alone worth watching the movie.

Pink Floyd did the soundtrack to a movie called "More" in 1969.
Excruciatingly boring movie, but good music of course. Apparently they have
an unreleased soundtrack to a movie called "The Committee", some kind of
surreal thriller from 1968.

the movie version of "Twin Peaks" has a scene in a kind of bar in which
a band plays some kind of "space blues". the scene is about 15 minutes
long, and all that time this wild space blues is playing. the rest of
the soundtrack is not of any interest, but these 15 minutes really rock.
the movie "The Trip", starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, also has
a scene with some wild psychedelic music towards the end (featuring
some nude female dancers with painted bodies , and I think the "Twin Peak" scene is influenced by this one)

Cool out , my young friend ! From memory, you do not see that much because their skins are covered in sand, but its suggestive enough! I should see it again some time, last time was some 15 years ago!
Not really prog , but Easy Rider is one hall of a movie!
I always wondered about that Schulze tracked porno flick, though !
Is the music any good?
