Visa De Censure No. X

Pierre Clementi's short film collection "Visa De Censure No. X" that he made between acting gigs during 67-1975. It was finished in 1975 and the soundtrack was provided by Clearlight. Some of that music was released by Clearlight under the name Delired Cameleon Family in 1975. That's one of their better albums. That's the album cover that features that lizard breaking out of a "cube" building, that has a pot leaf growing on the side of it.

For all these years, I could never find a washed out video of this movie. I could never find a torrent. I could never find anything. Finally, there is a dvd box set (PAL 2 only disc) that has this short film on it. You can get it from Amazon but for the expensive price of $81.


The film will be playing in NYC soon on big screen at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) on June 16. I feel like hoping on a Jet Blue flight and going to see it, on big screen it would be great and worth it all:

This colors at the start of this clip remind me of the freak out scenes in "The Trip" and the spider coming out the mouth reminds me of that "deaf puking" scene in "Psych-Out" in an odd novelty way:

13th Floor Elevators on 8-Track tapes...you pull through earth and stone

there is a blog that just posted the 13th Floor Elevators' albums taken from vintage 8-track tape cassettes. I was excited to hear this stuff, thinking that there would be lots of little sounds that I never heard before..but truthfully there is nothing new. The "Psychedelic Sounds" tape seems to be exactly the same as the stereo LP version. "Easter Everywhere" seems to be the mono mix of the album, as same as the mono LP. And "Bull Of The Woods" seem to be taken from a stereo tape, so it's the same has hearing the stereo LP/CD.

So, really this is for collector (completists) only.
