............INTRODUCED TO EACH OTHER BY A MUTUAL FRIEND ( BREN ),WHO SUGGESTED WE GET TOGETHER AND TRY TO MAKE SOME MUSIC, ME AND THE HIDDEN TRIPTAMYND SIMON, DECIDED TO SAIL THROUGH THE NORM AND TRY TO CREATE SOMETHING WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN HEARD, UNLESS YOU DIG DIG DIG DIG VERY DEEP INTO THE PSYCHEDELIC BACK PAGES OF TIME
... IT IS A LOVE OF LABOUR, A LOVE OF MUSIC AND A LOVE PRESENTED TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE ( OR PAIN )........
THE TRIPTAMYNDS CD'S BASIC CONCEPT IS IT'S A COLLECTION OF 8 SONGS ABOUT TRIPPING. BE IT LSD, DMT, MUSHROOMS, THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT, HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE TRACKS, READ THE LYRICS AND RELATE TO WHAT YOU HEAR.........MAYBE FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OR IF YOU'VE NEVER TAKEN PSYCHEDELICS MAYBE YOU CAN JUST DIG THE SONGS FORWHAT THEY ARE.......ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY SURE IF YOU WERE TO INDULGE IN SO CALLED PSYCHEDELICS WHILE LISTENING TO THE CD IN A DARKENED ROOM, I SHOULD HAVE A FAIR FEW HIDDEN DEPTHS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND TELL ME OF YOU'RE EXPERIENCE.......GOOD OR BAD......
.........THERE IS ALSO A 3 TRACK BONUS EP WHICH DIDN'T REALLY FIT WITH THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT BUT IT HAS THE SAME LYRICAL CONTEXT, PLUS IN TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT MAN ARTHUR LEE, THERE IS A COVER VERSION OF SIGNED D.C......
....RUMOUR HAS IT THAT THERE ALSO COULD BE A TRIBUTE TO SYD BARRETT
SOMEWHERE ON THE BONUS DISC..........?
........FOR EVERYONE THAT BUYS THE CD AND ENJOYS IT OR JUST SIMPLY ENJOYS THE POOR QUALITY MP3'S POST ON THE SITE I SAY THANK YOU, JOB DONE, IN A TIME OF PLASTIC POP, MANUFACTURED PAP AND KARAOKE CONTESTS AS THE CENTRAL POINT OF THE FAMILY'S SATURDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT I HOPE YOU'LL DIG THE THOUGHT AND EFFORT THAT HAS GONE INTO THE CD, SLEEPLESS DRUNKEN NIGHTS, VOCAL PARANOIA OF THE LARGEST SCALE, THE CONSTANT MAD RANTINGS AND EMBARASSING EARLY DEMOS PLAYED TO FRIENDS, IT'S BEEN 11 MONTHS IN THE MAKING, WHICH IS LONGER THAN THE SHELF LIFE OF MOST OF TODAY'S "POPULAR MUSIC ACTS"........
...SO KICK BACK AND ENJOY, I KNOW I CERTAINLY CAN NOW IT'S DONE !!
STAY GROOVY

Hey man, hows it going over there across the pond. Im having me a little family day, thinkin of recording some new tracks. Wrote them after a doc decided to prescribe me prozac. Hasnt done much yet, but its only been a week. So have ya done anything with the i am scared riff yet? Well have one on me cause I only smokes the weed now.
I had a listen to the Triptamynds again last night after a long layoff & Wow!
It Still blows my mind!
The Triptamynds, imo, are an entity unto themselves.
Your new band is a New band, not that the former will never be heard from again...
I can dig where everything has to be just right for that to happen, though.
Just stopping by to say hello and to hopefully put a smile on your face.
