Gathering up the strands of sound and music left hanging by bands like Spacemen 3, Loop, and Jessamine and compounding them into a final, dark matter amalgam of extreme psychedelic exploration was an essential task undertaken by American band Bardo Pond. Tantric is a lengthy 2-CD double album of tracks recorded by this band in 1996, a lodestar of effects-heavy terminal psych-rock as intoxicating as sonic psilocybin crushed from mushrooms of the reverberating void. Most tracks were also included on their album Amanita.
