Master Wilburn Burchette’s – psychic meditation music
This record consists of two 18 minute cosmic new age tracks entitled “yin” and “yang”. From the liner notes: Observe and become aware of the music as a flow of pure feeling. Allow the music to touch you so that you may feel and become aware. Let it penetrate to your psychic self. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE MUSIC, FEEL IT. Feel what you hear and the universe will say its name.

“PS: don’t listen to Fripp and Eno’s ‘No Pussyfooting’ or you’ll know where I ripped-off this sound from.”
Derivative, but it is good…
I just found another copy of this choice piece of vinyl. I was in high school when his music was released. It was totally hot shit at the time. Sounds a bit dated now but for a blast of 70’s psych it is kind of cool.
hi jeremy i want to trade with you a copy of this album with other ones by burchette (copies of “open the seven gates”, “music for the godhead”, “transcendental music…”) . please let me know if you’re agree…(valeriocosi@hotmail.com)
More reminiscent to me of Tangerine Dream and Edgar Froese of the time. A bit meandering but not the worst vintage synth-nugget out there . . .
I have been looking for a copy of “opening the 7 gates ” on vinyl or as a download – any ideas on where to find it ? This is music was esoteric even in 1971 – I never knew another soul who had even heard of Burchette- playing the 7 gates really freaked some people but I loved it – not for the faint of heart when seriously stoned on a strong dose of acid. I dont think anyone has hit the intensity of frequencies as Burchette did on the 7 gates except Master Charles or Robert Monroe in their works years later.
you can download some albums of his here,
