Alien Dreamtime

Recorded live at a “multimedia event” in San Fransisco in 1993, this is the sine qua non of trippy, “zippie” techno optimism in musical form. The rabble rouser, “ethnobotanist” and DMT evangelist McKenna holds forth over Johnah Sharp’s 303 gurgles, digeridoo samples, jungle sounds and general swoops and chirrups, about metaphysics, mushrooms, aliens, the fifth dimension, global awakenings and so forth – and incredibly it still sounds amazing. A fascinating relic of a time when guys doing acid in Silicon Valley was actually interesting.
