McKenna (08)

Hello, Sundaze remains on McKenna's tracks, there's more True Hallucinations with another two great chapters. There's an avi video that brings a lot of visual psychedelics to bare and Terence is really in good shape here. The musical component is brought to you by C Cat Trance, avant ethno/dance/electronics , a nocturnal evocation and a sax that reaches beyond. ..

Terence McKenna - Experiment At Petlauma ( AVI 29 min, 201mb)

Terence is in a philosophical mood here placing his work in larger context, this video is rather psychedelic/trippy..ah yes his fans/producers of this video forget that all those visual stimuli rather distract from whats been said, then again you can watch/listen this as often as you like..

C Cat Trance - Karadara ( ^ ogg 149mb)

In the mid eighties, after the release of anthem 'Hungry, So Angry' and album 'The Glitterhouse', Rees Lewis, the distinctive element (voice and sax) of currently obscure but hip funksters Medium Medium, left and with drummer Nigel Stone started C-Cat Trance to extend the avant dance forms of Medium Medium in a more art-pop-world direction, diminishing guitar noise, using anxious synth layers, dark pop atmospheres, traditional instruments, middle eastern influences. They were ahead of their time & albums like Khamu(1985) & Zouve(1986) presage the ethno/dance/electronic styles that was to dominate the music planet late 80`s & beyond. C Cat Trance songs express a nocturnal evocation, an anxiety proceeding from the different, the unexplored.

C-Cat Trance produced world and dance sounds ahead of their time and, with a floating membership varying between two and eight, they played infrequent gigs, beginning at Pandora's Musicbox in Rotterdam in September 1984 ( saw that), and more often in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Holland) than the UK. They released a series of records through the late eighties, and received consistent acclaim. Lewis' sax playing was described in the press as "lung emptying sax", "striking sax", "sax breaks that wail like a maitresse in nipple clamps", "and many more creative descrptions. The tracks on Karadara are selected from the first EP and the albums Zouave, Khamu, play Masenka Combo and Les Invisibles. The selection also includes five unreleased tracks recorded for an album which coincided with the demise of their label Red Flame, hence Karadara which is sinhalese for "Trouble"
