Altered (States) Images




This is suitably niche, but here are all twelve of the Monthly Altered States: Live Video Selection VHS tapes released on Zenbei between March 1995 and February 1996. The images are all great but let's say that some of the camera angles don't work so well ... you'll see what I mean.

Vol. 2 - Live at Silver Elephant. ZEN-V002

Vol. 3 - Live at Dampfzentrale. ZEN-V003

    The performance in the first video is AMAZING. The three of them are complete geniuses. The camera angle is appropriate for mere mortals like us. Can't wait to watch the rest---thank you!

    Been enjoying your blog for a long time, It seems Altered States VHS tapes volume 7-12 are no longer available for download. Will you be reposting them? Keep up the great work you do here

    frankly ffs.

    this host lets me post large files but they randomly disappear with no apparent logic ... so i could end up on the same repeat cycle of "link dead" "can you re-up" comments

    the only answer for the big stuff like this is to buy into a subscription ... we have always wanted this to be as free and convenient for people who might be interested in this art/culture/stuff ... but then i pay so it stays free and convenient?

    i've got cats to feed and bills to pay and music and books to buy and ye olde english grog shoppe to support ...

    i have sums to do ... but there will not be a donate button on here, so if anyone thinks that's a bright idea, don't bother.
