Dark Matter eLiquid

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators

Description

For the first time in 40 years, here it is in dangerously powerful MONO, exactly as it was intended: the stupefying debut album by Texas' heroic psychedelic point-men, the 13th Floor Elevators, on Sundazed's uncannily accurate high-definition vinyl! The unearthly banshee howl of Roky Erickson, the blistering guitar of Stacy Sutherland and the demented electric jug of Tommy Hall haven't sounded this scary since their glory days in the third eye of the lysergic hurricane!

Forget about San Francisco: The American capitol of psychedelic rock was Austin, Texas, and no band soared higher than Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. In addition to acid-tinged garage rockers such as the crazed-love anthem, "You're Gonna Miss Me," the Elevators' debut included tracks such as "Reverberation (Doubt)," "Roller Coaster," and "Splash 1," which viscerally evoked the sounds of their titles while offering lyrics that provided a philosophical structure for the psychedelic experience. The lyrics were written by Tommy Hall, who also played amplified jug. Hard as it may be to believe now, that jug created a weird sound that predicted that burbling synthesizers of modern-day techno. --Jim Derogatis

Summary: "amazing sound"

This reissue blows all other versions of this album out of the water. Every other version of this album I have heard sounds muddy. This LP is so clear if you crank it up it sounds like the band is right there in the room with you. Don't miss out on this garage psych classic sounding better than it ever has before.

Summary: "Devistating MONO!!!"

Justice for this garage/psychedlic CLASSIC has finally been served! Collectables reissued this on CD (in stereo) a while back and the sound quality was HORRIBLE to say the least, it sounded like it was mastered off a 2nd generation cassette tape. Then Italy's Get Back Records (a label known for it's shadiness) reissued it on LP (also in stereo) with slightly better results but still not quite up to par with other classic LP reissues. THEN Sundazed (bless their souls)reissues it in MONO from the best available mint copy of the original and it sounds AWESOME! I never realized the power of this LP until I heard it in this version, it's a whole new experience (really). The guitars are much more upfront in the mix, the electric jug is buried more in the backround (thank god!) and Roky's vocals sound better than ever! I can't say enough good things about the reissue. THANK YOU SUNDAZED!
Avoid any other reissue of this album if you can and get this one. You won't be sorry...

Summary: "Goin' Up!"

'Frisco was cool and all, but anyone who knows anything knows that the true birthplace of psychedelia was Austin, Texas, home of the fab-tacular 13th Floor Elevators. In its prime, this band of inspired weirdos recorded some of the most superbly deranged rock 'n' roll of all time, cranking out song after song of mutant, LSD-charred garage rock. Released in 1966, the Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators is the group's debut, a collection of heroically whacked-out tunes that are nothing less than the budding seeds of a movement.

What's most surprising about this album (and the band, really) is how they manage to sound truly trippy and wonderfully weird without astronomical production values or even a surplus of technical skill. They really were a garage band, with all of the usual trappings of such a group: Their songs were rooted in basic, grease-coated rock n roll, complete with chunky guitar riffs (courtesy of Stacy Sutherland) and snarled vocals (thanks to wildman lead singer Roky Erickson, one of the great unheralded heroes of 60s rock). They just took things a little further than most bands: Their lyrics were pure gonzo poetry, heavy with mysticism and druggy imagery (and accented, of course, with a healthy dose of good old fashioned teenage bad attitude). The guitar chords are at the mercy of Sutherland's effects pedal, and there are plenty of acid-soaked solos flying around all over the place. Riffs and melodies are perched somewhere between blues-based garage punk and dream-addled death dirge. The most notable experimental flourish is Tommy Hall's "electric jug," a bizarre rhythmic instrument that garnishes several of these songs. It's hard to describe the sound of the instrumrent, but suffice to say it can be compared to the protestations of a series of uncooperative suction cups. Just listen to some of these songs! "You're Gonna Miss Me" is a deranged slice of teenage snarl with a meaner-than-mean guitar line and a meaner-than-meaner-than-mean vocal, with Hall's jug floating menacingly in the background. "Roller Coaster" is an "epic" (over FOUR MINUTES!) mindbender with an absolutely archetypal guitar drone and a ghostly vocal from Erickson. "Don't Fall Down," with its chugging bass line and woozy backing vocals, is out-and-out hypnotic, and "Fire Engine" moves into full-on rock out territory.

The result is a wigged-out classic that bridges the gap between rock and the world beyond. It's the sound of a bunch of zitfaced teenagers formerly obsessed with cheeseburgers 'n' fast cars stumbling upon the myrsteries of the universe. It's the sound of the 60s lurching into overdrive. It's the psychedelic sound, baby!

Summary: "Best Psychadelic Group Ever"

The powerful yet simple guitar and the novel sounding jug provide the perfect backdrop fop Roky Ericson's erie and melancholy voice spouting lyrics that resonate to this day. Way before their time and a nice blast from the past for me. I remember seeing them while still in high school at various venues around Houston. Good then, good now.

Summary: "Annoying Dissapointment"

I waited 20 years since hearing "You're Gonna Miss Me" to finally say "What A Dissapointment" Mind you it's still better than when Roky recorded it with The Spades, but it was ruined with Roky's wailing, and the god-awful harmonica. Roky didn't need to wail like he did his vocals were enough to get my attention his words were enough to get my attention, and now his wailing that tormented me as a teenager/young adult now have come to haunt my middle age in the form of a Dell commercial. The next song "Roller Coaster" is somewhat decent, and also "Don't Look Down", "You Don't Know" is probably the strongest song on here. The rest is either forgettable, or just terrible. I was disappointed with this as it was a interesting piece of music, but lack of strong songs, and unecessary wailing just made this a annoying album, and gives me a headache. You see with me psychedelic is where you make your guitar do all kinds of fuzzy/wah-wah, or make it sound like sitar. The harmonica has no place in psychedelia as far as I'm concerned. There's no need for it; I would figure any rational thinking person would not be tripping out on the sound of a harmonica, so don't do that.
