Psychedelic Music โ€“ Is It Next?
By Rochelle Reed, pp 22-23


 

  Frank Zappa, a Mother of Invention – "I don't play psychedelic music. It's for dopers. I don't want to be labelled that way. We call our music the "new free music." . . . Yes, I really do think this will be the next big influence on the pop scene . . . music is now freed from the past." 

Herb Cohen is a producer who agrees with John Beck and feels the term "psychedelic" is totally useless because there is no such thing, or "only if you have no mind. There's nothing mind-bending or earth-shattering about it. No psyche is attached to it. I'm not putting it down, but most (current music labeled as psychedelic) gives the impression of a pseudo-narcotic state."

'Hip' Burdon Talking Split
By ?, p 3


 ... Burdon's psychedelic notions appear to be more than just a passing fancy. In his last trip to the United States, Burdon recorded some material with Frank Zappa โ€“ the leader of the Mothers of Invention and foremost musician in the psychedelic field.

Burdon predicts a hit for the single, "Another Side Of Life," to be released in the States soon. He doesn't, however, expect either his psychedelic records of the psychedelic scene in general to spread to England.

"I don't think it will catch on as a musical form in England because the humor and language used in the lyrics of 'freak-out' music are very 'in' thing closely tied to the U.S. scene," he said.
