(Book). Turn On Your Mind: Four Decades of Great Psychedelic Rock
is a history and critical examination of rock's most inventive
genre. Whether or not psychedelic drugs played a role (and as many
musicians say they've 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 music's high
point was the Haight-Ashbury scene of 1967, but the genre didn't
start in San Francisco, and its evolution didn't 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 Kesey's '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.
