Many people might remember Timothy Leary as a man who encouraged them to "tune in, turn on, drop out". Some might think of him as "that freaked out drug guy", but David Silver and Jim Wilson, the producers of this album, encourage us to think of him as a ground-breaking philosopher and scientist with his own take on life.
Beyond Life With Timothy Leary is primarily dance/trance music set to Tim talking about various subjects. Some of the music is performed by producer Jim Wilson, and some is taken from Tim's late-60's album. The rest of the album features astrophysicist Dr. Fiorella Terenzi guesting on a spoken-word piece with Tim, The Moody Blues, Allen Ginsberg, and Ministry's Al Jourgensen and friends.
Dr. Timothy Leary died on May 31, 1996, of terminal prostate cancer. He will forever be remembered as one of the most influential and inspirational people of the twentieth century. The purpose of this album is to preserve his thoughts and ideas for generations to come. If you'd like to take an intellectual trip, give this album a listen.
