VENTURE
LIFT—Futuretoreal
(Mind Expansion Records) review | By Peter Aaron
During
his brief time on the scene, however, Warren has managed to cultivate
some ties with a few friends in rather, er, high places in the neo-psych
stratosphere: Venture Lift’s first recording was for a compilation
for U.K. label Fire Records, once home to the Spacemen 3, while
Futuretoreal is out on the appropriately named Mind Expansion, a
concern run by Randall Nieman of Detroit acid eaters Asha Vida and
Füxa. A reclusive but committed inner voyager, Warren spends
much of his non-writing/recording time meditating in the Buddhist
Dzogchen tradition—not a difficult scenario to picture once
you’ve put yourself in the center of his universe for these
60 minutes. Minutes that add up to in an hour in a pretty great
place, if you ask us. Let’s go trippin.’
