Eight Miles High - Eight Miles High

Review by Zorin Diaconescu

Eight Miles High – Eight Miles High (1969): A Sonic Brain-Fuck That Still Hits Hard Alright, let’s get this straight—this album is a trip. Not the kind where you're chilling with flowers in your hair; more like being shoved into an industrial washing machine while someone blasts techno beats at max volume. "Eight Miles High" by Eight Miles High isn’t just electronic music—it’s experimental as hell, blending ambient techno vibes with raw, unfiltered chaos. Released in 1969 outta Germany on Klang Elektronik, it feels way ahead of its time. And yeah, props to SNB for mastering this beast because holy crap, it sounds tight. Now, I gotta call out two tracks that stuck in my skull like gum under a desk: “Death Of A Braincell” and “Razorsharp.” First off, “Death Of A Braincell” hits hard right outta nowhere. It's glitchy, disorienting, and kinda makes you feel like your brain’s short-circuiting—but in a good way? You know those moments when life gets too much and everything turns fuzzy? This track captures that vibe perfectly. The layers build up slowly, almost teasing you, then BAM—it drops into something so heavy it feels like drowning but also flying. Weird combo, sure, but trust me, it works. Then there’s “Razorsharp,” which is exactly what it sounds like—a sharp-as-hell cut through all the noise. If “Braincell” is about losing control, this one grabs hold of you by the throat and doesn’t let go. The beat slams harder than most modern techno tracks, and the distorted synths? Pure fire. There’s no room for chill here—it’s relentless, aggressive, and leaves you breathless. Honestly, if they played this during a fight scene in a movie, people would lose their minds. Props to Eight Miles High (the dude/dudes behind the project) for pulling this off back in ‘69. Like, how did anyone even think to make music like this before computers were mainstream? Was everyone just huffing neon lights and dreaming big? Whatever it was, it paid off. Even now, over fifty years later, this thing still punches harder than half the stuff labeled “experimental.” But here’s the kicker—the credits list TWO versions of “Death Of A Braincell,” and both are completely different. What gives? Is it a mistake? Some avant-garde genius move? Or maybe the producer just liked messing with people’s heads? Who knows, but honestly, I’m not mad about it. Keeps things weird, keeps things real. So yeah, listening to this album feels like stepping into another dimension—one filled with broken circuits, pulsating basslines, and existential dread wrapped in beauty. It’s messy, intense, and occasionally frustrating—but damn if it ain’t unforgettable. And hey, fun fact: Bill Gates apparently hates blues music. At least according to track six. Bet he wishes he had royalties from this record instead of Windows licenses.
