Superstition (psychedelic version)

[bruno]

What the f**k have I just done! I really love this song - sorry Stevie.

Okay. This is where I admit, I thought I knew what psychedelic music was/is, until I tried to produce some. After all, I listened to "Pipers at the gate of dawn" - however listening to other source, I couldn't work out what it is that makes it psychedelic. So, hypnotic, repetitive, spacey sounds. I'm not convinced I came anywhere close, however the next one will be better (probably). I did learn that I'm not built for ambient music.

This is the closest I've come to, to my mythical wall of sound. This one has a lot of sound! This has the kitchen sink thrown at it, the Boss SY1 on guitar and bass, the JHS fuzz (the replacement unit has come), the Digitech Freq Out pedal, and some severe quad delay and ambient reverbs on the kemper. Beat loop and the Electribe for double set of beats - some played in real time. Not sure of the vocals, some what over-effected and a bit Dread Zeppelin, but it is as it is!

Enjoy/grimace/throw hands up in the air/over your ears)....

I needed to do this as there has been no takers for this fest so far.

Really well done Bruno - I liked the vocals too!

[Flash Harry]

Now this is really tasty - like the Mondays found a happy stash and shared them with the Stone Roses.

love the authentic drum track and the glorious guitar cacophony and such a cool bass line.

I think it's a nice psychedelic atmosphere.
...it's not easy to really understand the so-called psychedelic music" ...I'm in the process of finding out about WIKI what it was really like in the seventies...

this is absolutely pshychadelic IMO.... very big palette of sounds and I really like that... you sound a bit like Jim Morrison perhaps... I was wondering though which Stevie you were apologizing to?  Wonder or Vaughn? 
I loved Stevie Wonders version of this and SRV was good as well...but that original was something fantastic to me...
I think these fests have been slow because they aren't exactly easy to figure out what to do...

I'm struggling with the nebulous "what makes it psychedelic?" question too (and my last gig before lockdown was the Hawkwind 50th anniversary tour).

I love this though and it does transport me to a dark crowded space where this song is filling the room. Hypnotic.

I think you nailed a neo-psychedelia vibe here very well Bruno, it's a trippy, spacey updated psychedelic piece that reminds me a lot of Steve Hillage's System 7. This is right up my alley - I love the soundscape and all the effects. Gotta love the SY1! You did a really good job here, you used the original as a starting point but came up with something totally unique. Really enjoyed this, well done.

You may need to wind back a few years JP, the psychedelic era was really the 60s (Timothy Leary and all that), the height of psychedelic music IMO was 67 to 69. Things started to shift in the 70s towards prog rock, heavy metal, space rock and electronic music, all of which owe a lot to psychedelia.

They were my formative musical years as a kid and I still have a deep love for early Floyd and much music from that era.

Great version! It's nice to hear how songs work on another genre. Got Stone Roses vibe on places...that's just a good thing
