Holy Kelvin - From Being to Nothingness (1968) [Full Album]

*Holy Kelvin* is an enigmatic musical figure, an artist of the late 1960s and early 1970s who attracted attention for his spiritual journeys. Kelvin began his musical career combining psychedelic rock and mystical folk sounds, and is known for his wandering spirit and spiritual quests. Throughout his life, he has experienced different cultures from Tibet to Peru, from India to Zen monasteries, and has brought these experiences to his music with a deep philosophical subtext Holy Kelvin’s album *“From Being to Nothingness”* is a masterpiece, recorded in 1968 in the depths of a spiritual and musical quest in the midst of hardship. The album is a combination of psychedelic acid rock and mystical folk elements, in the spirit of the counterculture of the time, while bearing the traces of the artist’s philosophical and spiritual journey. Although Holy Kelvin released this album with financial difficulties and the various challenges faced by independent music producers, the album soon became a cult classic *1. I Am Someone Else* The album opens with “I Am Someone Else”. This track deals with a young soul’s existential crisis and search for identity. Holy Kelvin reflects the dramatic, neurotic and psychotic thoughts of a teenager on the verge of an inner conflict. In the lyrics, this journey into the depths of the subconscious inevitably confronts existential emptiness. *2. Who the Muck is OSHO?* The second track, “Who the Muck is OSHO?”, ironically and humorously deals with Holy Kelvin’s spiritual experiences in India, especially his encounter with OSHO. The song is a sarcastic commentary on OSHO’s provocative personality and the depth of his spiritual teachings. *3. Limitless Sensory Dreams (LSD)* “Limitless Sensory Dreams” is about the artist’s first LSD experience. The title of the track represents LSD with its initials, and throughout the song, the transformation of the artist’s subconscious and the opening of different doors of perception. This long piece is composed of four sections, with each section dealing with a different psychedelic phase: Ascension, hallucinations, fear, and finally a unifying epiphany. Holy Kelvin successfully conveys the complexity of a mind under the influence of LSD through the use of intricate rhythms and improvisations on the instruments. *4. The Last Mushroom* The fourth track, “The Last Mushroom”, reflects the artist’s experience of the magic mushroom. This song deals with the integration with nature, discovering the depth of existence and a mystical state of unity. The soft timbres and mystical atmosphere of the track strengthen the human connection to nature and the universe. *5. RUMI is My Teacher* One of the album’s most profound and philosophical tracks, “RUMI is My Teacher” is inspired by the artist’s acquaintance with Mevlana’s teachings and his interest in Sufism. This song depicts the journey of taming one’s ego, an inner purification and the spiritual depth of the whirling dervish dance. *6. Third Eye Activation in Tibet* “Third Eye Activation in Tibet” is about the artist’s experience of third eye activation in a monastery in Tibet. *7. Divinity Meeting Transcendence (DMT)* “Divinity Meeting Transcendence” is a song of death and rebirth, describing the ayahuasca rituals the artist experienced in Peru. *8. Shiva the Dance King* “Shiva the Dance King”, one of the most energetic tracks on the album, describes a psychedelic experience at a GOA festival in India. *9. Zero Effort Nirvana (ZEN)* This track is about the artist’s time in a Zen monastery in Japan. The lyrics are full of koans and paradoxes that reflect the essence of Zen. *10. I Am Nothingness* The album’s closing track “I Am Nothingness” was written after the artist realized that he was nothingness after all the spiritual and mystical experiences he had gone through. This album takes the listener on a mystical journey as an album that describes Holy Kelvin’s life, spiritual transformation and existential questions in a deep musical language. - *Tracklist:* 00:00 I Am Someone Else 06:32 Who the Muck is OSHO? 11:26 Limitless Sensory Dreams (LSD) 17:25 The Last Mushroom 21:14 RUMI is My Teacher 28:51 Third Eye Activation in Tibet 35:24 Divinity Meeting Transcendence (DMT) 41:23 Shiva the Dance King 47:21 Zero Effort Nirvana (ZEN) 51:42 I Am Nothingness - *WARNING:* “Everything that happens on this channel is fiction.
