Welcome to another two hours of psychedelic music on Global Psychedelia.  I’m your host The New Elastic Infinite, and today’s show is Chinese psychedelic, noise, and shoegaze music.  At first I found it pretty difficult to find this music.  It’s no surprise that in a country with such media strictures since the cultural revolution it would be hard to find rad psychedelic bands.  But it’s also no surprise that such strictures would produce some really rad music.  I actually found it easier to find Chinese noise music, and a lot of harsh noise.  Some of you might think that Torturing Nurse is missing from the list, but I honestly think it’s a shame to listen and not see their music performed.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Torturing Nurse I have a video posted at the end of this list for your audio-visual pleasure–if you like harsh noise and bondage, that is.

The labels that carry the most Chinese psychedelia of many varieties are tenzenmen, Maybe Mars, and Genjing Records.  Chinese Noise and experimental music can be found at Sub Rosa.  And finally, one of my favorite labels of all time, particularly because Japanese psychedelic music is my all time favorite music, is P.S.F Records, which also releases Li Jianhong (and his band D!O!D!O!D!).
