Inspired by frequent LSD use, the record features a wide range of musical styles that might all fit under the umbrella terms of “groovy’’ and “out there”, constantly shifting between stretches of coherent rhythmic groove and structural collapse.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Here are some descriptive review excerpts of from an essay on the album:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “The record feels very live and alive.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Sounds like Crazy Horse covering Popul Vuh.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Where the band jams remains the land of the sunset.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “The exuberant freedom expressed by the band whether it’s a ten minute, two chord ramble tamble, or laying into feedback and chimes like it’s a sauna, it inspires pride and courage. It takes guts to survive in the wilderness of the American imagination and by my reckon, Mystic 100’s must talk to the birds,like Saint Francis did, to remain so deeply in the dew.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Every 3-5 years Milk Music has sounded Mystical and now the Mystic’s sound magical.” \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (Anthony Boruch-Comstock, Mystic Manifesto, Jan ’23)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Track list:\u003cbr\u003e 01 On a Micro Diet\u003cbr\u003e 02 Message From Lonnie\u003cbr\u003e 03 Drug Man\u003cbr\u003e 04 Windowpane\u003cbr\u003e 05 Two Souls\u003cbr\u003e 06 Have You Ever Chased a Lightbeam?\u003cbr\u003e 07 On a Micro Diet II\u003cbr\u003e 08 Food for the Boogieman\u003cbr\u003e 09 First Day of Peace (Short Version)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Mystic 100's Infomercial\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NNXxrG_qmf8\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Listening House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42448775479452,"sku":"LH01LP","price":44.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_88274cac-dd37-474f-bb77-d204549591e2.jpg?v=1681370095","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/mystic-100s-on-a-micro-diet-2lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
