The "Psycho Babble" Experiment:

Frank Alcazar - Drums, Voices
Jimbo Toews - Keyboards, Voices

The "Psycho Babble" Experiment is more than just the seemingly maniacal musings of two twisted musicians. It is art; a creative scape honoring the brilliance, the beauty, the psychoses - of a mind inundated with random, psychotic thoughts... swirling about the brain. How would you like to live in there?!
Jimbo and I played the music in one live pass, and created 2 overdubs of voices to create the inane, and insane, ramblings that you shall experience. Recorded one afternoon, in the summer of 1991, at our old rehearsal digs... only to be rescued from the only copy in existence - on cassette - some 17 years later, and burned to digital media for posterity... Thanks, Jimbo.

Enjoy.

You all inspire me; every last one of you.

"Many people feel they are powerless to do anything effective with their lives. It takes courage to break out of the settled mold, but most find conformity more comfortable. This is why the opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it's conformity."
- Rollo May

"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter."
- Max Planck

“We must see that consciousness is neither an isolated soul nor the mere function of a single nervous system, but of that totality of interrelated stars and galaxies which makes a nervous system possible.”
- Alan Watts

"You are an explorer, and you represent our species. And the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness. And so, to what ever degree, any one of us can bring back a small piece of the picture, and contribute it to the building of the new paradigm - then we participate in the redemption of the human spirit. And THAT, after all, is what it's REALLY all about."
- Terrence McKenna

"Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.' "
- Edgar Allan Poe

"It’s better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb."
- George Rodriguez

"If a band ever finds that it is not giving their best effort and playing at the edge of their abilities at all times, then they are not playing the kind of music that they should be playing."
- Patrick T. Daly

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
- Mark Twain

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
- Jimi Hendrix

"You see things; and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?'"
- George Bernard Shaw

"Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be."
- George Carlin

"It's very difficult for me to dislike an artist. No matter what he's creating, the fact that he's experiencing the joy of creation makes me feel like we're in a brotherhood of some kind... we're in it together."
- Chick Corea

"The best way to see Faith is to shut the eye of Reason."
- Benjamin Franklin

"To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am..."
- "As I Am", by Dream Theater

"Before we received this form, We had another face, Our original face. We can't see it with our eyes. We can only know it with wisdom."
- Chi-ch'eng

"My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought, cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives."
- Hedley Lamarr
