Terence McKenna - Alien Dreamtime (full album)

This is a recording of a series of lectures that Terence McKenna gave in rave chill rooms in San Fransisco in 1993.

From Wikipedia: "'Alien Dreamtime', featured a live recording of ethnobotanist, writer and psychedelic researcher Terence McKenna delivering a series of lectures to the accompaniment of Spacetime Continuum music."

Fantastic dreamy ambient music, amazing expert didgeridoo playing, and one of the most out there speakers of our time, this CD was absolutely one of my most prised finds ever. While clearly everything McKenna says must be taken with a large grain of salt, the WAY he says it is just so... groovy. :) According to Wikipedia, Timothy Leary once referred to McKenna as 'The real Timothy Leary'. High praise indeed.

Though at first glance this video may seem to be just so much computer generated visuals, at various times you can definitely see McKenna delivering his speech into a microphone, weaving in and out amongst the trippiness. :)

Highlights:
9:14 - "I think of going to the grave without having a psychedelic experience like going to the grave without having sex."
10:04 - McKenna explains the three enemies of the people: Hegemony, Monogamy and Monotony
16:15 - "I remember the very, very first time I smoked DMT..." McKenna begins his description a journey to the trippiest drug on earth...
23:37 - He begins speaking in tongues- some crazy crazy sounds :)
