Krylda Timothy Leary was as an oracle of the psychedelic era, which was fundamentally underpinned with the sounds of psychedelic rock, Hindu instruments, and the Moog synthesizer, all of which defined a generation. This album captures the exotic sounds of the time in a modern way to pay homage to this unforgettable time. Turn on, tune in, and drop out, in this dynamizing musical trip! Favorite track: Turn off your mind, float downstream.

🍃🍄🍃🍃🍄🍃🍃🍄🍃🍃🍄🍃🍃🍄🍃🍃🍄🍃🍃🍄🍃🍃🍄🍃
Black Tape For A Blue Girl’s Sam Rosenthal collaborates with his Projekt label’s electronic space music artists to commemorate the centennial of Timothy Leary’s birth. Digipak includes a 6-page insert with lovely artwork commissioned just for this release.

The album celebrates a pioneer of consciousness expansion using his own words accompanied by international artists exploring those same realms via their music.

Rosenthal works with Projekt space music artists Steve Roach, Erik Wollo, Mark Seelig, Forrest Fang, and others, and recorded Timothy Leary trip narrations from Alex Cox (director of Repo Man and Sid & Nancy), Reggie Watts (bandleader on CBS' The Late Late Show with James Corden), Lee Ranaldo (of Sonic Youth) and others.

With the permission and encouragement of Timothy Leary’s son Zach and the Leary estate, the album’s 13 tracks contain 4 spoken word “trips” with text excerpted and cut-up from Tim’s first LSD and DMT experiences chronicled in his 1968 book HIGH PRIEST.

As founder of 37-year-old Portland-based Projekt Records, Rosenthal helms the label as well as his band Black Tape For A Blue Girl (with 12 albums in the gothic, ambient & art rock genres). Synthesist, songwriter, lyricist and main collaborator, he’s released 8 albums of his music in the last half-decade. For TIM, WHERE ARE YOU NOW? Rosenthal collected musical textures & sources from Projekt label electronic artists, sonically painting with their colors and his ethereal electronics to create the concept album he envisioned.

“Tim was a chieftain. He stomped on the terra, and he left his elegant hoof prints on all our lives.” — Hunter S. Thompson

Ambient Music Guide Jan 2021

Best Albums of 2020
This year marked the centenary of the birth of LSD and DMT guru Timothy Leary (1920-1996). This tribute album celebrates his chemically-fueled flights into expanded consciousness and it’s a multi-coloured wonder, focused on spacey electronic music-of-the-spheres with Eastern drone influences and retro sounds like the Moog and Mellotron. Sam Rosenthal’s long-running alt music label Projekt Records certainly has all the connections to make a tribute like this work; old-school ambient artists like Steve Roach, Erik Wollo, Mark Seelig and Forrest Fang all make contributions alongside Sam himself. There are also guests like film director Alex Cox and Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo who can be heard reading short Leary-penned accounts of memorable trips. This is my kind of Leary tribute; not raucous noise bands or crashing Krautrock but a proper ambient trip, contemplative and deep.
