The term "psychedelic music" has some similarity to psychedelic art, but there have been changes in its form recently. Psychedelic music used extended improvisation along with audio effects such as looping and electronic distortion. The more recent psychedelic music has started to use the drone as a replacement of previous expansive freeform performance. This transition in technique can be seen as a transition from a more transcendent approach to a more immanent approach.

This system would do away with hight interest rates needed to continue fractional reserve lending, while redirecting the banks toward community economics.
