Hallway Of The Gods
''Hallway of the Gods'' is an album by the Legendary Pink Dots, released in 1997. Critical reception ''The Columbus Dispatch'' thought that "the acoustic, Bowie-esque 'Lucifer Landed', with its grandiose strings and woodwinds, is mesmerizing, and the psychedelic 'The Hanged Man' feels like a musical out-of-body experience."

AllMusic AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the databas ... wrote that "this 1997 entry from the band's continuing exploration in dark psychedelia is, like so many of the Legendary Pink Dots' efforts, a winner in both quiet and overwhelming modes."

Psychedelic Music
Psychedelic music (sometimes called psychedelia) is a wide range of popular music styles and genres influenced by 1960s psychedelia, a subculture of people who used psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, mescaline, and cannabis to experience synesthesia and altered states of consciousness. Psychedelic music may also aim to enhance the experience of using these drugs and has been found to have a significant influence on psychedelic therapy. Psychedelia embraces visual art, movies, and literature, as well as music. Psychedelic music emerged during the 1960s among folk and rock bands in the United States and the United Kingdom, creating the subgenres of psychedelic folk, psychedelic rock, acid rock, and psychedelic pop before declining in the early 1970s. Numerous spiritual successors followed in the ensuing decades, including progressive rock, krautrock, and heavy metal. Since the 1970s, revivals have included psychedelic funk, neo-psychedelia, and stoner rock as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Space Rock
Space rock is a music genre characterized by loose and lengthy song structures centered on instrumental textures that typically produce a hypnotic, otherworldly sound. It may feature distorted and reverberation-laden guitars, minimal drumming, languid vocals, synthesizers and lyrical themes of outer space and science fiction. The genre emerged in late 1960s psychedelia and progressive rock bands such as Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, and Gong who explored a "cosmic" sound. Similar sounds were pursued in the early 1970s West German ''kosmische Musik'' ("cosmic music") scene. Later, the style was taken up in the mid-1980s by Spacemen 3, whose "drone-heavy" sound was avowedly inspired by and intended to accommodate drug use. By the 1990s, space rock developed into shoegazing, stoner rock and post-rock with bands such as the Verve, Flying Saucer Attack, and Orange Goblin. History Origins: 1950s-1960s Humanity's entry into outer space provided ample subject matter for rock and roll and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nemesis Online
''Nemesis Online'' is an album by the Legendary Pink Dots, released in 1998. Critical reception ''The Washington Post'' wrote: "Using today's technology to evoke the spirit of 1972, the Legendary Pink Dots make a credible case for self-indulgent art-rock." ''Keyboard'' thought that "as talented as the band is at manipulating tonal moods through programming, sampling, and effects, they can just as easily evoke feelings of terror or tranquillity with only a piano or guitar and vocals."

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
