This Is IT

by Alan Watts

This Is IT cover art

Issued by the obscure MEA label, this bizarre, highly experimental release features British philosopher Alan Watts engaging in ritualistic chanting and free-associative vocalizations. Accompanied by abstract percussion and tape manipulations, the album is a wildly surreal artifact of the nascent West Coast psychedelic counterculture.
