A MONSTROUS PSYCHEDELIC BUBBLE

Amorphous Androgynous - A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble [2008-2015] (8 x CD's) + Bonus

Since the late 90s, Amorphous Androgynous AKA The Future Sound Of London AKA Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans have been weaving together two-hour broadcasts of their favourite records that could be loosely classed as 'Cosmic Space Music'. After ten years of messing with our heads via the wireless, they now pick their choicest mind-melting moments on what is a fine series of double CD's. It's a collection that perfectly runs the gauntlet from kitsch (Lord Sitar's I Am The Walrus) to uber cool (Miles Davis or Can).

Okay, Noel Gallagher swears by the first volume (and it is GREAT) but the second and third are also wonderful listens. Then there is the Australian tribute to Psychedelic music odessey fromm 1966 to now. "The Wizards Of Oz" is devoted exclusively to the rich heritage of cosmic space music from Australia and New Zealand. In keeping with previous volumes of this acclaimed series, it traces the lineage from the sixties to the present day, reappraising the meaning of the term 'psychedelic' along the way, The tracks are expertly woven and mashed together to form a trip as enjoyable as it is both enlightening and educational. (Amazon)


A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble is a trip (man). The pleasure is in the bumps, twists and turns. Here you get 4 sets of Amorphous Androgynous' "A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble" series Vol. 01 Cosmic Space Music, Vol. 02 Pagen Love Vibrations, Vol. 03 The 3rd Ear and wonderful The Wizards Of Oz,  plus as a bonus the Mojo Presents - A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble.

    1. Hi blureu.
      Glad to hear you like this.
      I have a bunch of Future Sound of London's recordings but never thought to pull a compilation together. I really like their song "Domain".
      Cheers.
