Review by Mar 13, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Some vinyls' comes from another universe, this is one of them. Way ahead of it's time Simon Posford produced a rave anthem. For me "LSD" is the greatest song in it's genre, with haunting lyrics and melody. "What is it about it that scares people so deeply? - They are afraid that there is more to reality than they have ever confronted."
Not easy to stand up against the b-side, but track A is also a masterpiece. Put a blotter in your mouth while listening to this song, and i guarantee you'll end up on alpha centauri in some hours!
One of those vinyl's you can't live without. Perfect for acid/shrooms trips.

I have had few experiences as powerful as the first time I heard this track at sunrise on a remote beach with 200 crazed party people. Nearly 10 years later, this track sends sends chills through my body. When the bassline hits in the second half, it brings tears to my eyes still. Probably the best Goa/Psy-trance track ever made, because so few understand how really difficult it is to make an authentically positive and uplifting track without being cheesy. It's too easy to make something dark and heavy.
