Master Wilburn Burchette's Psychic Meditation Music+ (Complete Electronic Music Recordings) [CP-172]
After a series largely guitar-centric releases - with titles like "Master Wilburn Burchette Opens The Seven Gates Of Transcendental Consciousness" & "Occult Concert" - "Psychic Meditation Music" was the 1974 debut of obscure Psychedelic tradesman Burchette's Electronic Music, realized by the Composer himself on an array of early Analog Synthesizers & taking form as a pair of side-length extrapolations on a continuous modal tonality.
Much like the "Pythagoron™" outing - with which this shares more than just a passing aesthetic resemblance - the use of this music for purposes of healing & recovery is its sole purpose; its enjoyment as music secondary. As Burchette's digits coax out chill runs of overdubbed, echo-laden figures - all hand-played & in a rather lovely rubato not unlike a more severe Angel Rada - his own Alpha-waves & Theta-rhythm energies are transmitted via sound into your cortex where they take root, forming images & concepts - such as the cover-image's third-eyed Strieber-lineage alien-fellow - & ultimately sending your consciousness into the background.
Musically, the gently wafting tonalities have a darker edge to them; while I'm reminded of fellow C.P. alum Steve Birchall's epic "Reality Gates," I can also hear a kindred approach to Maurizio Bianchi's more chilled-out early 80s work. Regardless, this is a fascinating and elusive entrant into the canon of self-issued, "Private" Electronic Music that should appeal to the more Psychedelically-minded.
This 2015 edition includes all four of Burchette's synth-centric privately-issued LPs on two handy discs, adding "Music of the Godhead", "Transcendental Music for Meditation", and "Mind Storm".

Overwhelming and transcendent in its stark simplicity and spatial placements. Listen when you're really stoned.
I cannot imagine what it would have been like hearing this in 1969. That's over half a fricken century ago.
Waay ahead of their time....this music is a masterpiece!
I was 12 when I first heard this music. I am now 75 years old. It was interesting to hear it again and bring me back all of those years, at a time, for some reason, when I appreciated this music.

I absolutely love this.
Exceptionally good..atmospheric.

what an excellent description. feel bad for being flippantly reductive now
I studied Renaissance counterpoint with Michael Czajkowski at Juilliard in 1973-74. He was an inspired teacher. Regularly wore dapper, doubled-breasted suits to class.
thanks Dom. 🎉
what a bullshit is this
I know that rumor has it that only 20 copies of Greek Electronic Music Vol 1 were sold and the rest were destroyed. But is it really so ? Look at the Discogs platform for it.

I have also loved this album for years ❤
It''s not his first record, though. Although the original "Party" record (1953) is impossible to find at all. It doesn't really matter, though: it's a pretty unsignificant work of musique concrete by a student. I bought ten copies of this 1975 album from Proprius at original list price sometime around 1990 to keep two for myself and give the rest to friends. "Predestination" is the best electroacoustic album to come out of Sweden and in terms of raw expression and magic it puts all of the masters of the Düsseldorf school to shame. It's Lindblad's absolute prime.
Yes, you're right; I hadn't seen the Bruno Epstein split single from 1957 when I wrote this back then, still haven't come across a copy out in the wild!
santo que hermoso
I already knew Labat from his involvement on the first Utopia album and the 1973 album he did on Bearsville. I never realized he released any more albums after he left Utopia.
While the M. Frog LPs are fun, synthploitation-styled LPs, it's here on this LP under his own name (issued both as "Underwater Electronic Orchestra" & "Transition-1") that he really shines.
one of the greatest compilations in this "genre" i've heard
Fascinating and mysterious sounds and thoughts. Love it!
Tell me more about this... I'm amazed! Leave me some informations & if you like,contact me. Im a fan of electronic rock music & experimental sounds. I was doing similar work with my Korg Poli Six,my Yamaha PRT 1000 and some effects years ago. Nice to know that there are other musicians that dont do it for money. Its all about the world of sounds,isnt it? Cool video...hell of a work i guess!🧔🏼😎😊🎉😂❤🤗
amazing.
iconic piece
Wow, merci!
Speechless ! !!
Rest in peace Harry Gilbert Trythall Jr.
very nice. these closely miked mouth noises (is he using a gasmask?) sounds like something aaron dilloway would do
I bought this back when it came out and still have it.
muy bueno
I was fortunate enough to study composition and, later, the Moog synth with William Hoskins in that same Jacksonville University Fine Arta Electronic Music Studio beginning in 1979 when he kindly helped me fix the construction of the awful cello concerto I timidly showed him. He later gave me an autographed copy of this very LP when it came out along with a kind dedication and memento of our sessions together. I listened to it for years afterward and then finally found it on CD from Mimaroglu Music. As a result of my association with Hoskins, I was also lucky enough to Meet Bob Moog and his family when Bob came through in 1980 to perform one of his periodic synth inspection/consultations with Professor Hoskins who, himself, was *incandescently brilliant* and humorous and knowledgeable to an amazing degree about an astounding variety of subject areas besides music - and he was in fact a fine composer. William Hoskins was also very much a DIY sort of fellow. The JU EM studio (as we called it) was tricked out with all manner of objects and devices that Hoskins had built himself to facilitate the student's work in the studio. From custom-made plywood patch cord trees on mike stands, to tons of patch cords he made himself, to his own home-made ribbon controller and telegraph key. I think he also built his own mixer. The EM Studio at the time was further equipped with a 4-track, a 2-track, and a mono Ampeg tape deck that we often used for making tape loops. The EM studio also had an Elka string synth, a MiniMoog, some excellent Klipsch speakers, and a rickety old upright piano crammed in the corner by the few student desks which could manage to also fit in that cramped corner studio space upstairs in the Fine Arts building at JU. Hoskins also had an even larger studio and Modular Moog synth installed at his house as well - and that's where this recording was made. His knowledge of synthesis in general and the Modular Moog synthesizer in particular was Galactic. In a lesson I once saw him set up a really complicated patch on the Moog and then when he hit the home-made keyboard and didn't hear *precisely* what he expected to hear, he ran his eyes over the patch real quick making sure that the levels were correct and such, then he squeezed into the very cramped space behind the synth and pulled out a specific board and peerer carefully at it. He said, "Just as I thought, got a few smoked components there. I wonder when *that* happened. I'll have to replace it". Then he re-routed the patch around the bad component and got the sound he was after in short order. You can also get a good idea of him from his lively response to an article in the Journal Of Music Theory from 1959: libgen.li/ads.php?md5=3da4bbcb8209d51ddd0a0e7c471f6716&downloadname=10.2307/843006 I admired William Hoskins very much, and I will always appreciate his frightfully vast knowledge of the world in and around music, and his kindness in freely sharing it with me.
This should required listening in every high-school music room across Aotearoa. Thank you so much for digging out and uploading!
Wild flip!
Great !!!
Discogs says that William Burroughs wrote liner notes for this. Can anyone confirm this and - ideally - point me toward a text somewhere online?
"Intensidad y Altura" (1964) del peruano César Bolaños, "Un-X-2" (1971) del brasileño José María Neves, "Parca" (1974) del argentino Oscar Bazán, y "La panadería" (1970) del argentino Eduardo Kusnir. La pieza de Bolaños y la de Kusnir fueron compuestas en el laboratorio del CLAEM-ITDT en Buenos Aires. La pieza de Bazán fue compuesta en el CICMAT (Bs As.). La pieza de Neves fue compuesta en el Centre Culturel Américain (París).
It would be good to identify the pieces.
Amazing!
What would be even more great if we ever got studio footage. Cuz im too immersed in it to believe humans made this lol. But obviously thats the mystery in great music , sometimes all you can do is listen
This is very cool

Very interesting, thanks for posting. Incidentally, I have been looking for years for music scores by this composer for the movies UFO Syndrome (1980), UFO Journals (1978), and Lost City of Atlantis (1978). Don't know if anyone reading this may be able to help/advise with this, but, if you could, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I came across this at a local thrift store today wedged between some Isao Tomita vinyl, I'd never heard of Meyers or the Catholic University of America beforehand but I'm very glad I impulse bought it (also picked up Tomita's interpretation of Pictures at an Exhibition and a Steve Reich record so good haul overall)
Thanks! I was on the 1986 volume. It was a great class.
Where is Tom now? This is my TOP Want vinyl!!!
Una Belleza.....desde México....
I played drums on the first track. It was a beautiful jazz blues waltz. I consider it ruined with all the swirling electronics mixed way too high.
Incredible; I've heard many rumors about Dunstan over the years but nothing I can substantiate online; care to elaborate on how this record came to be? It's fascinating.
