And with you as well, Anton. Going through some of my darkest days right now and your music is helping to move me forward. Peace and love to you, brother.
This song is very fittingly apocalyptic. Like a chaos that unleashed throughout a long period of time and it's coming to its end. The end of the song makes me think of paradise restored. It's like a feverish dream and the you wake up early in the morning sweating and confused but feeling at the same time relieved becuase you are back to your reality and everything is good again. I love it!
- Like the end of a long weird and chaotic night and the coming of a new dawn. - "Love your comment" (Just heard the rooster at the end of the song, for the first time ever and at the same time I finished reading your comment :) Perfect timing...
This was the first ever BJM song I'd listened to - courtesy a good friend of mine. I can't thank her enough for introducing me to this universe. I remember, 6 years ago, backpacking across Europe for 3 months and having BJM as the soundtrack, while I hiked through mountains, sat beside a river/lake, ambled along cobblestoned streets, and wrote in my journal - with a flask of Jagermeister on my hip. Seems like a lifetime ago.
I just can't get enough Anton... BJM is one of the only bands that I can put on, go to sleep with a smile on my face.. sleep with swirls in my head, and wake up with a vibe like no other. So inspiring, never stop.. please never stop..
Gracias Anton, your music was a great companionship driving my bike from Vietnam to my home for a couple of years in Cambodia. Much appreciated, keep on showing the illusion, and spreading light and truth using both.
Anton gets it. As we approach the end of the Kali Yuga, the chaos intensifies - but so does the lightness and joy, for those of us who will co-create in this new world feel it in every atom of our being. Thank you Anton for all this timeless music you keep on giving.
One year passing, here I am listening to this song again, while working on the computer, not high , just normal right side awareness. Sounds fucking great!
You turn Panic in Babylon into Picnic in Babylon. Very spirit raising rythym and melodies. You inspire me to play Shenai again....even though I've never played one. You are on a roll. And I thank you very much. Derf
You know what, I'm really envious of people who has easy access to psychedelics. Living in a part of world where these substances are highly unaccessable and has serious consequences, I think it is a sin that some of us are robbed of our chance of illumination and discovering what the essence of this life is via psychedelics. I tried some of them though, to my luck. I just had the chance to see from a small opening of a big door which opens to an enormous world of peace and awakening of the soul. I love your music Anton, it kind of provides me the effects of these substances. You are truly a remarkble man and I feel that you are wishing for the best for people like me.
what country? the LSD where i live (new zealand) is always shitty. more speedy than trippy, but the Mushrooms...now lordy lordy lordy miss clawdy! they grow amazingly in my town here, and ive had some serious trips on those bad boys!
damn it.. anton you're indeed among the best musicians living, just hope it won't inflate your ego even more haha really wish you come to moscow some day
Just discovered this awesome track and Im in love, just wow. If I could describe the feeling of this music it would be transporting into another dimension or time, the tireless traveler going on a fantastic but ever unwinding journey 🍄😍🙉🐪
the picture that goes with this makes me so happy - this song makes me so happy! anton newcombe you make me so happppyyy! and not so numb when i'm sad so thank you! :D peace and big love!
I have actually only started listening to Anton’s band in the last few months and god I love The Brian Jonestown Massacre. I’ve never heard anything I haven’t liked yet.
Love this and Grace Slick's Garden Of Man with that Eastern feel as well. Please release some more of your eastern vibe psychedelic stuff. There just isn't enough of it around.
Incidentally, I recently had a conversation with the same student about my trips to Reykjavik and Akureyri. Maybe I'm actually teaching this kid something, even if it isn't American Lit. and Comp.
love your blend of trance/shoegazer rock with ethnic world music, specifically that of the east. I've always had a kindred affection with Indian instruments to the point where certain sitar notes resonate like deja vu of a former life. thanks.
If this IS Anton, then I'm grateful you've found expression through music, cause if you hadn't, then you would've definitely become an axe murderer...a terrifying one at that. Thank you for the way its turned out.
Straight up and down was the theme to Boardwalk Empire, and a few other songs appeared in other tv and film soundtracks. Slowly, BJM will burrow into the public subconscious. They're a true inspiration, such talent and originality, especially from Anton himself. The way I see it, BJM are not meant to be compared to pop culture music, but rather to rock and roll legend and myth. Though they will always have die hard fans.
the beginning is so powerful, that could well be the sound of the universe waking up.. gonna listen to this and Satanic Majesty on loop in India next summer if I get the chance to really go there
You will not achieve spiritual enlightenment in India any more so than you can where you are right now. But there might be some good drugs n parties in Goa.
The Private Psychedelic Reel off Dig Your Own Hole maybe? Both have that eastern looping vibe. Reminds me too of some Suns of Aqua or Transglobal Underground. Great fun.. Aufheben is great. Difficult to have a favourite BJM album but I think its up there with the best of them. Cant wait til the next one!
When are we gunna be penpals again Anton its been over 10 years.. Member me...i was the guy who advised you to make the who killed sgt.pepper album cover 3-D We used to talk about art and how much we loved fish.. Told me you used to sculpt .
I remember watching the making of this song (pretty much the entire record actually) on Dead TV Live, but I don't remember where Anton got the opening wind instrument sound. Anyone know or remember owt? Or better yet, recommend me some choons x Love & other crimes x
Came here because of Greg Gutfeld and Kat Timpf, go figure. Very happy I did. Haven't felt this excited to listen to a group im what seems like an eternity. Amazing music.
You are creating a new sound, Anton. Who Killed Sgt Pepper was perfect when coming down from a Shroom trip and having a sneaky joint to smooth out the ride. This is drug music, most definitely.
AWESOME! Such a hypnotic, trippy and mesmerising song! See the panorama of India and Himalayas enfolding before me in my mind's eye as I listen to this.
Anton...Buffalo would LOVE to have you, please!!! Look into Babeville! Ani Difranco rennovated an entire church to worship the power of music!!! Buffalo NEEDS Anton, Western New York needs Anton, we're craving it! C'mon just one show before you OD
@antonfjordson awesome....looking forward to it. where will the dates be released? FB, here? many places to look, but hard to pick one. btw- this is my favorite new track so far. :-) organic anton!
When is BJM next playin in the New Yawk City area? enquiring mind wants to know. Cuz i am vexin yo at the thought of dying young with out ever having seen them play live.
'Hats off' to your work. it's the little things a; distorted laughing jack-ass...'I'll never be able to enjoy a picnic in Babylon with out one again...' How do I get the most money back to you guys when buy???
Hello anton! New music sounds good! I have a question: I saw a video of you playing drums to a track that you heard through headphones while we (the viewers) were able to hear both the track you played to AND your live drums. How did you do this? I'm trying to broadcast live footage of me playing drums to a track for a band as an audition, and I'm not sure how they can hear both my drums and what I'm drumming to. Does that make sense? Just thought you might know cause you're rather tech savy.
peace be with everyone as much as it can
We love You Anton ! One day at a concert un Montpellier France you told me to keep the faith . IT s still in My Heart ! Peace
Right back to you man 😎🙏
As much as it can Anton awesome
And with you as well, Anton. Going through some of my darkest days right now and your music is helping to move me forward. Peace and love to you, brother.
@@notboundtofollowsuit7863 hope you made it through to the other side ❤️

Listened to this driving through the desert on my way back to my hometown wondering what life was all about.
That's sound fun
Best youtube comment I've read in a year.

You're Andy fuckin Warlock that's what

Quite possibly the most unexpected song I've ever fallen head-over-heels in love with.

8 years old and Panic in Babylon still hits my chest hard. Aufheben is a masterpiece.
Anton is a genius, this album is next level, listened to this through my travels in Japan.. attached to those memories with this beautiful album.
You're music has encouraged me to start playing guitar again
EARWORM! 24 hours later since I first heard it and it is still playing...
thank god...it drowns out the voices in my head.
@jemen1709 thank you.i believe being creative is more important now then ever.
I love you, Anton. Hope you’re doing good these days
One year passing, here I am listening to this song again, while working on the computer, not high , just normal right side awareness. Sounds fucking great!
what a song....I'm speechless every time I listen to this masterpiece! thank you for your great music A.Newcombe !
i discover this few day ago...masterpiece!
You turn Panic in Babylon into Picnic in Babylon. Very spirit raising rythym and melodies. You inspire me to play Shenai again....even though I've never played one. You are on a roll. And I thank you very much.

Yesterday one of my high school students asked me what I listen to. I told him I listen to The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
offcorse
Yeah. Everyone knows you do.. 😏
I haven't listened in awhile and forgot how much I love this tune! ❤❤❤
This is the music that plays in my dreams
i love austria,as far as i know our next show is in berlin,june 2013 so who knows where else we will play around that time.

Trips are awesome, I had many, then after a "bad trip" never again, each make their own path, but after the bad one, I can't recommend it.
Grow some cacti and to have your own mescaline. The San pedro cactus and many others are legal in almost every country.
what country? the LSD where i live (new zealand) is always shitty. more speedy than trippy, but the Mushrooms...now lordy lordy lordy miss clawdy! they grow amazingly in my town here, and ive had some serious trips on those bad boys!
I do love this band. So trippy and mesmerising. Brilliant!
god, can't believe this is 8 years old already. how long i been listening to these guys? timeless.
+anton newcombe Blimey A. yo ass a genius...thanks for the inspiration and positivity, no really dude ;-) It may have saved my life
damn it.. anton you're indeed among the best musicians living, just hope it won't inflate your ego even more haha
really wish you come to moscow some day
wow man...you got a oum kalthoum tune on your playlist!
I am in Marrakech quite often and once I played this for several Marrakchis and they absolutely loved it.
literally the most creative musician out there, every song you touch turns to gold
Just discovered this awesome track and Im in love, just wow. If I could describe the feeling of this music it would be transporting into another dimension or time, the tireless traveler going on a fantastic but ever unwinding journey 🍄😍🙉🐪

I wish i could see you with the BRMC on the same stage... Thanks for your music Anton.
@HeavilyArmedChild82 i'm just messing around.to me it's psychedlic and fit with the entire body of work.i've done loads of eastern atonal scales.
Love this and Grace Slick's Garden Of Man with that Eastern feel as well. Please release some more of your eastern vibe psychedelic stuff. There just isn't enough of it around.
Once drove across the West Coast listening to the album this song is on while stoned.
Incidentally, I recently had a conversation with the same student about my trips to Reykjavik and Akureyri. Maybe I'm actually teaching this kid something, even if it isn't American Lit. and Comp.
Thanks for all the beautiful music, Anton! Keep it coming, brother!
I join Emolian, thanks Anton for this vid
we are playing a few shows in switzerland soon -
Au Docks à Lausanne. .
Aves Emanuelle Seigner 2019
love those guys,they brought us on tour.so nice.
i love the stuff for the new record. and all of the new stuff on youtube in general so much. thank you anton
I could listen to this all day!!!!
I played this song on a friends birthday, shit got epic! Greetings from Stockholm, Schweden.
This song is so possitive. I really enjoy the things you do now. Iluminomi is my favourite song of last year.
I watched a video from 2011/12 of you and a dude creating this song. It was fascinating watching you two work. Great track, Anton
love your blend of trance/shoegazer rock with ethnic world music, specifically that of the east. I've always had a kindred affection with Indian instruments to the point where certain sitar notes resonate like deja vu of a former life. thanks.
Love this so much, float away with the Spirits to each tune ~
@AlBoerik :) are you in town?
If this IS Anton, then I'm grateful you've found expression through music, cause if you hadn't, then you would've definitely become an axe murderer...a terrifying one at that. Thank you for the way its turned out.
Thanks for posting Anton this is epic. Kookaburra's laughing at the end?! Roosters too?!
I’ll take it with me brother Anton - ‘pon another sun ☀️ journey. Peace ✌️ bro!

This is great ! love your music Anton !!
Anton, you are such a huge inspiration to me and my friends... Any chance you'll be anywhere around Kansas in the future???
the whole album is amazing anton!
thank you, anton--contemplative music for disconcerting times
the beginning is so powerful, that could well be the sound of the universe waking up.. gonna listen to this and Satanic Majesty on loop in India next summer if I get the chance to really go there
Lucas if you can not travel to India physically. You can travel to India via transcendentally on the astral plane
yesterdays' papers I'm trying to get into astral projection etc, but for now I have to stick to the physical plane...
It's more sound and tangible
yesterdays' papers ᏀāᏏᏒᎥᎧᏝ💆
You will not achieve spiritual enlightenment in India any more so than you can where you are right now. But there might be some good drugs n parties in Goa.
The Private Psychedelic Reel off Dig Your Own Hole maybe?
Both have that eastern looping vibe.
Reminds me too of some Suns of Aqua or Transglobal Underground. Great fun..
Aufheben is great. Difficult to have a favourite BJM album but I think its up there with the best of them. Cant wait til the next one!
Danke schoen A, ich bedanke mich fuer das Gedank und der Türkei hat auch grosse Probleme heutzutage...insbesonderes ISIL und so weiter :-(
Pre-ordered the new album on vinyl, man! Cant wait to hear it!!
@jdh2526 so nice to hear.thanks.
a is the best, most relevant, musical artist on our own planet, ignore him at your peril
brutalisimo
When are we gunna be penpals again Anton its been over 10 years..
Member me...i was the guy who advised you to make the who killed sgt.pepper album cover 3-D
We used to talk about art and how much we loved fish..
Told me you used to sculpt .
I was lucky enough to shake Anton's hand while giving him a good natured squeeze on his upper forearm before a show in Boston years ago.
Actually really psyched for this, sounds super cool. Can't wait to see you guys live in July..
Nice song
LOVE THIS! Love the different sounds you bring in. i can't wait to see you guys in DC! i want to give you a hug.
I remember watching the making of this song (pretty much the entire record actually) on Dead TV Live, but I don't remember where Anton got the opening wind instrument sound. Anyone know or remember owt? Or better yet, recommend me some choons x Love & other crimes x
Keep 'em coming dude,majestic album. New fan,loving the back-catalogue!
Can anybody tell me the name and origin of the middle-eastern instrument that comes in at the start?
Came here because of Greg Gutfeld and Kat Timpf, go figure. Very happy I did. Haven't felt this excited to listen to a group im what seems like an eternity. Amazing music.
@crappingtaco maybe what you saw was my laptop sitting next to the monitor desk while the speakers were on,sometimes i don't worry about the bleed.
Saw you in San Fransisco at the Filmore! Thanks for the memories man! The mushrooms musta been good!
my 4 year old son begin to cry when this song (10/100) was over. At first I was not sure, but when I play it again, he calmed. :)))))
... this song actually a specially on today
Das ist echt genial, Mann! 😀
You are creating a new sound, Anton. Who Killed Sgt Pepper was perfect when coming down from a Shroom trip and having a sneaky joint to smooth out the ride. This is drug music, most definitely.
AWESOME! Such a hypnotic, trippy and mesmerising song! See the panorama of India and Himalayas enfolding before me in my mind's eye as I listen to this.
I can't believe how much I love this song.
@antonfjordson Satya Yuga?

This song hard to describe except for being addictive

Damn this is like a soundtrack for a movie that plays in your head and your head alone.
Anton...Buffalo would LOVE to have you, please!!! Look into Babeville! Ani Difranco rennovated an entire church to worship the power of music!!! Buffalo NEEDS Anton, Western New York needs Anton, we're craving it! C'mon just one show before you OD

Great music Anton.
Brilliant track, already one of my favourite BJM songs. Is there an album planned for anytime soon?

When is BJM next playin in the New Yawk City area?
enquiring mind wants to know.
Cuz i am vexin yo at the thought of dying young with out ever having seen them play live.
I have to listen to this on LSD awsomee
@antonfjordson are you going to be touring the US.?
'Hats off' to your work. it's the little things a; distorted laughing jack-ass...'I'll never be able to enjoy a picnic in Babylon with out one again...'
How do I get the most money back to you guys when buy???
You are so brilliant
Does anybody know what the horn in the intro is? I love it, I wish i could find more music like this.
Shehnai.
Indian instrument.
Hey Anton, obviously sounds like exactly what's happening NOW !
Hello anton! New music sounds good! I have a question: I saw a video of you playing drums to a track that you heard through headphones while we (the viewers) were able to hear both the track you played to AND your live drums. How did you do this? I'm trying to broadcast live footage of me playing drums to a track for a band as an audition, and I'm not sure how they can hear both my drums and what I'm drumming to. Does that make sense? Just thought you might know cause you're rather tech savy.
@antonfjordson Hope you include glasgow! that would be a dream!
Its got to feel good to put something out like this these days.
Sing Anton! Love it
I think sumerians building the Babel Tower listened to this being played from the UFOs that were watching over the works.
A masterpiece
such a really good track ! is a new bjm album planned ?
Holly shit that's fuckin awesome
How do you keep making such marvelous music??!:)
