   AMORPHOUS Androgynous, the psychedelic rock-tronic supergroup created and
   produced by the Future Sound Of London, release their second mix CD, A
   Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding In Your Mind Vol 2 – Pagan Love
   Vibrations, and duly impress.

   In keeping with the critically acclaimed first volume, this second
   mind-bending trip through four decades of archives also seeks to unearth the
   future classics of psychedelia in its many guises.

   Amorphous Androgynous consists of electronic duo Garry Cobain and Brian
   Dougans (Future Sound Of London), two men with a knack for discovering and
   giving new life to the best of the buried and the forgotten, and this second
   volume digs deeper to take listeners on an exploratory journey through the
   rich goldmine of weird and wonderful cosmic space music. They connect the
   hidden past with the future.

   Hence, the likes of David Holmes and Oasis run shoulders with Dungen and
   Hawkwind, with the odd vocal aside from Richard Harris and Kahlil Gibran, to
   create a highly trippy, even hallucogenic trip into the psychedelic that
   boasts a massive 44 songs.

   There’s plenty to savour, too, from Bo Diddley’s down and dirty funk rock
   classic Elephant Man to Dan Sebesky’s Eastern influenced, sitar and strings
   laden Guru-vin, which boasts a cinematic, Darjeeling Limited kind of quality.

   Continuing the cinematic vibe, David Holmes serves a welcome reminder of his
   Ocean’s trilogy work with the lively, upbeat and really quite hip What R We
   Stealing, while Oasis are as trippy and spaced out (and Indian) as you’re
   ever likely to hear them on the Monst. Psychedelic Bubble Mix of their recent
   hit single, Falling Down. It’s actually not as successful as it should have
   been.

   Given the variety, scope and decade-spanning nature of the album, it’s not a
   surprise that not every track resonates. While the psychedelic nature of each
   track means that some are more trippy and bizarre than others.

   But there are more hits and misses and, if nothing else, this will succeed in
   expanding your musical horizons, while giving people plenty to talk about if
   sat around a dinner table hearing each new track drop.

   Of our other personal favourites, we also recommend seeking out the likes of
   album opener Satt Att Se, by Dungen, and Naga Raga, from Dzyan, as well as
   Ultimate Spinach’s lazy (Ballad of) The Hip Death Goddess and the sitar-laden
   funky workout that is Sohail Rana’s Soul Sitars.

   On CD2, meanwhile, there’s the trippy, hippy retro throwback that is
   Melanie’s Lay Down (Candles In The Rain), Gunter Kallmann Chor’s original
   Daydream (which has often been sampled by contemporary artists), Pearls
   Before Swine’s innocent, playful Oh Dear (Miss Morse) and Amorphous
   Androgynous’ own The Onion.

   For our money, CD1 contains more gems and is the more commercial, less freaky
   of the two, but it all adds up to a really worthwhile journey.

   A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding in Your Mind: Volume 2 is a 2009
   compilation album with selections by the Amorphous Androgynous; it was
   released on CD in September 2009. It is an extensive compilation mix album
   featuring a wide variety of artists, selected and mixed by the duo. Pagan
   Love Vibrations is the second in the series, following on from the successful
   first volume Cosmic Space Music and focusses on the band's psychedelic side,
   featuring everything from 60s pop to film scores and modern psychedelia.

   Noel Gallagher of the band Oasis spoke very highly of the first album and got
   into contact with Gaz Cobain after hearing this record and asked him if the
   Amorphous Androgynous would remix the Oasis single "Falling Down" which is
   also included on this album.
