Full performer name: Space Time Continuum With Terence McKenna. Personnel includes: Terence McKenna (vocals). Recorded live at a rave in San Francisco, California, in February, 1993. A meeting of the minds merging the arcane texts and psilocybic ruminations of acid guru Terence McKenna with San Francisco's own ambient scribe Jonah Sharp is one of the more inspired pairings in electronica's convoluted landscape. Here Sharp cranks up the analog synths, breaks out the didjeridoos (courtesy of Stephen Kent of Lights in a Fat City fame) and sets up some great, expansive, warbling electronic tundras over which McKenna espouses his lambent text. Recorded live, this is one of the classic ambient documents, full of varied pulses and oozing atmospheres, all metaphorically glazed with McKenna's measured, obfuscating voice. Just wrap yourself in the ambient gauze that is "Archaic Revival" and prepare for a descent into a maelstrom where the progressivism of the '60s meets the technological miasma of the '90s head-on |
