The Tetraktys - Die Brucke (2008)

Original trip album from Calgary's psychedelic wizard. Here's what Jarome Iginla has to say about it:

"It was a great period of cross pollination, of advancement, really, where the Trippers definitely heard Die Brucke loud and clear. Here’s Die Brucke to deal with. Friar Chris also told me that the Trippers specifically went in to make an album better than Die Brucke. That album turned out to be Sgt. Tripper, which Friar Chris said may or may not have been better. He wasn’t sure that it was better. He did however know that the age of the true trippers, which many had thought died in 1969, was still very much alive.

After years of spiritual trip transfers, two trip wizards were together in the physical state at last.


One thing he absolutely knew for sure was that Vibrations in C on Die Brucke, which wouldn't be what we know it to be today without the arrangement/recording advice from trip pioneer with the red balloon P.F. Sloan (best known for Secret Agent Man, Eve of Destruction, and his work with The Grassroots), was the first song to lead the trip in the direction that any future (and current) pop-artist owes a tremendous debt to. The song was recorded over a period of 3 years, with a reported 250 recording sessions, which included 88 different musicians, and an estimated total cost of $60000 to produce. Barnaby Bennett, describes the song as his "psychedelic gospel for Jehova 1". This song really will take you on a journey to the express way of your mind!"
