Oh you want it even darker!? | Psych Noir, A Journey Through Shadowed Psychedelia | Butterboy

%20ALL.jpg)
Another fascinating thesis from Butterboy on the darker side of pop! As Butterboy says ‘shadowed psychedelia' . . .the bulk of which I already seem to own! Especially the first album sine of the second and intriguingly (for me!) most of the third too
Enjoy! I did
PSYCH NOIR
VA - Psych Noir, A Journey Through Shadowed Psychedelia (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)
Psychedelic music has always existed between light and darkness. While its most familiar image is one of colour, freedom and expanded consciousness, there has always been another side, a stranger, more mysterious world where experimentation turned inward and sound became a reflection of dreams, uncertainty and the human imagination.
Psych Noir, A Journey Through Shadowed Psychedelia explores that hidden landscape.
This collection is not simply a gathering of obscure psychedelic recordings. It is a journey through an alternative history of music — one where atmosphere, emotion and imagination are as important as melody and rhythm. These are recordings that explore the spaces between reality and illusion: haunting guitar textures, hypnotic rhythms, surreal arrangements and performances that create entire worlds within a few minutes of recorded sound.
The artists represented here followed a different path. Some emerged from the psychedelic explosion of the late 1960s; others appeared in underground scenes where experimentation existed away from mainstream attention. Many created music that was too unusual for commercial success but too compelling to be forgotten. Their recordings became time capsules — discoveries waiting for future generations of listeners and collectors.
Psych Noir celebrates those hidden corners of musical history.
It traces the evolution of psychedelic music beyond its colourful reputation and reveals a deeper, more cinematic tradition. This is psychedelia as mystery rather than celebration; as exploration rather than escape. These recordings often feel like musical films without images — soundtracks to imagined journeys, forgotten memories and places that exist somewhere between dreams and reality.
The importance of these recordings lies not only in their rarity, but in their creativity. They demonstrate the freedom that existed when musicians treated the studio as a laboratory and sound itself as a form of storytelling. Echo, distortion, unusual instrumentation and experimental arrangements became tools for expressing emotions that conventional songwriting could not capture.
For collectors, this is part of the enduring fascination. Each discovery represents a piece of a larger puzzle, a forgotten artist, an independent release, a lost moment of inspiration preserved against time.
Psych Noir, A Journey Through Shadowed Psychedelia is therefore more than a compilation. It is an exploration of the hidden currents that have flowed beneath popular music for more than half a century. It honours the artists who embraced uncertainty, challenged expectations and transformed darkness into something beautiful. It is music that rewards patience and close listening. Across these eighty recordings, the listener travels through the hidden corners of perception, where shadow and imagination meet. (Butterboy)

SO BACK TO SOME REAL MUSIC?! Playing For Change with John Paul Jones and others : WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS [Memphis Minnie & Kansas Joe]
Oh you want it darker . . . and more REAL?!
Led Zeppelin made this song famous… but they didn’t write it. 🎶 Do you know who originally wrote it? 👀👇💛 Support the music: https://playingforchange.com/join
They asked who wrote it! Memphis Minnie and her husband Kansas Joe [both McCoys)
“When The Levee Breaks” is a powerful, thought-provoking and emotionally-charged classic by Led Zeppelin, from their Led Zeppelin IV album. The song is a rework of the 1929 original release by Kansas Joe Mccoy and Memphis Minnie about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927; the most destructive river flooding in U.S. history. “It seems that little has changed since 1927, or even 2005 with Katrina. It’s still a really powerful track, both musically and lyrically.”- John Paul Jones
