	Who are You
		Townshend saw Psychoderelict as a sequel of sorts - something he had tried in 1970 with a project called Lifehouse that was snuffed out by dirty dealing, although many of its songs became the guts of the classic Who's Next.
		And Psychoderelict marked a temporary return to the amplified six-string whoop-ass that made Townshend such a commanding performer.
		I think Psychoderelict is probably the best example of me creating a group of characters in which I have an investment.

		Psychoderelict was a concept album written, produced and engineered by Pete Townshend.
		June 15 is the 166th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (167th in leap years), with 199 days remaining.
		As a concept album, Psychoderelict does not have the strength of songsmithing and theme found in White City or Tommy.

	Pete Townsend - Psychoderelict
		The first song "English Boy" really does have one of the coolest B sections ever written, a disjointed atonal riff that lies somewhere in between John Zorn and Zappa with a Beatles melody on top.
		Interestingly, at the end of the Psychoderelict, Townsend’s character seems to come to the conclusion that the hippies were all right with their peace and love nonsense.
		Normally that would be all it would take to pull a cassette from my stereo and smash into several pieces, but this is the guy who once sideswiped Abbie Hoffman in the head with his axe, so I figure he’s owed a few indiscretions.

		But unlike his previous concept albums, Psychoderelict was bogged down with pointless, irritating dialogue between many of the songs, killing the album's flow.
		In a smart move, Atlantic issued two versions of Psychoderelict simultaneously, a regular version with all the dialogue, and a "music only" version which cut out all the talking and focused on the tunes (even though many assumed it would be instrumental, the "music only" version did contain vocals).
		Psychoderelict is about an aging rock superstar who brings a young female singer under his wing.

	Robert Christgau: Virtual Hep: Peter Townshend, Donald Fagen, Billy Idol
		Gibson is a mere shadow on Pete Townshend's Psychoderelict, where science fiction buffs will recognize the conceit of the "Grid" as a counterpart to both Gibson's cyberspace and the "net" of Bruce Sterling's Islands in the Net.
		And his vision of computer-generated reality is mostly background on Donald Fagen's Kamakiriad, "an album of eight related songs" set "a few years in the future, near the millennium"--the likely inspiration for such details as the holographic sex dolls and the high-tech midway where affluent thrill-seekers get to reexperience their own memories.
		Its explanation of Psychoderelict's plot--in which the Grid (a precyberpunk concept Townshend started playing with on the Who's aborted, endlessly recycled Lifehouse project) is only a figment of '60s avatar Ray High's imagination--will stand as either a model of multileveled postmodernist self-referentiality or a mess as hopeless as Quadrophenia.

		One of the defining albums of 70s hard rock from one of the 60s most successful bands, the original album includes some of The Who's best-known work, such as the anthemic "Baba O'Riley"...
		So he took a stab at it as a solo artist with Psychoderelict.
		Psychoderelict is proof there's more to music than the senseless tasteless main stream pap people buy!!

	Music : Psychoderelict
		Psychoderelict is about a washed up pop star who tries to reinvent himself though the media and a life long project.
		This can be looked at as not only a self parody (and indulgent) but as a way to bring back LifeHouse into the public eye.
		One is simply called Psychoderelict, and the other one is called Pyschoderelict (Music Only).

	RollingStone.com: PsychoDerelict : Pete Townshend : Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A tamed Tommy is a Broadway smash; with trademark willfulness, the Who's former main man gives us Psychoderelict, a rock opera that both echoes and undercuts his classic.
		Formatted as a sci-fi radio play, substituting an Orwellian air of virtual-reality apocalypse for Tommy's pinball pathway to glory, it's not the coming of age of a deaf, dumb and blind boy messiah but the comeback bid of a shutdown idol.
		A compulsive seeker whose questing sometimes recalls John Lennon's embarrassing honesty, Townshend has flourished a gift for examining life's trials as well as its instances of painful possibility – the pathos of desire, the fight for identity and community, the fanatic urge toward truth.

	Music CD Reviews: Concept Albums (Red Headed Stranger, Psychoderelict; Willie Nelson, Pete Townshend)
		I first bought Psychoderelict on cassette from a cutout bin at a discount store.
		Psychoderelict is a wonderful story with suspense, drama, comedy, and pathos.
		Psychoderelict is also simply classic Townshend and should be appreciated by all fans, if not of Pete's, then of the genre of musical radio play, of which there are regrettably few.

		PsychoDerelict evolved from LifeHouse, an aborted Who project that produced material used for Who's Next, Odds And Sods, and Townshend's first solo album, Who Came First.
		Dissatisfied with his limitations as a musician, he is exploring theater as a new avenue for expressing his ideas.
		PsychoDerelict feels like a part of a big continuum, now that Tommy is doing so well.

		Psychoderelict is Pete Townshends last solo album, released in 1993.
		In fact, one could regard Psychoderelict as the story of Pete Townshend while he was writing and producing Lifehouse.
		In the liner notes of the remastered edition of Who's Next Townshend suggests that Lifehouse may at some point be combined with Psychoderelict and finally be completed.

	PsychoDerelict - Music Only by Pete Townshend CD
		The theme, that of an aging and fading rock star struggling to find grace, is one that Townshend tackles frequently and usually with considerable aplomb.
		Though a few less-than-stellar moments borne out in the staged version of PSYCHODERELICT carry over to the music, there are indeed thrilling moments of grace in the clamor.
		The fiery "Predictable" and the storming "English Boy" are vigorous workouts with Townshend in fine defiance of the ravages of aging.

	Peter Gallagher - Theatre - Psychoderelict
		"Psychoderelict" was a workshop of a Pete Townshend idea for the stage.
		This was probably the best role I've ever had in a musical, and one of the coolest projects I've ever been involved with.
		I'm not sure how the recording got made; it's not great quality, but it's great to have a record of it.

	Psychoderelict Press Kit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Townshend is prepared for a strong reaction to “PsychoDerelict” from critics and fans, particularly his decision to use the Who-vintage “Life House” tracks as what he calls an “emotional trigger” on the album.
		With that salvo, Pete Townshend’s voice roars into “English Boy:’ the opening track of “PsychoDerelict,” his forthcoming release on Atlantic Records, which combines the dialog of a radio play, the drive of a rock’n’roll concept album, and the futuristic vision of a science- fiction tale.
		While “PsychoDerelict” is about the enduring power of a dream of unity through music, it also reflects Townshend’s concern with the elusive nature of truth in a hi-tech age.

		But the project's contrived story line - which concerns a faded rock star, his sleazy manager, a scandal-mongering rock journalist and virtual reality - is muddled to the point of incomprehensibility.
		Fortunately, he had the good sense to sandwich PsychoDerelict between two terrific sets that drew generously from both his solo career and his days as leader of The Who.
		Following PsychoDerelict, Townshend rewarded the capacity audience for its patience with another hour of music packed with punch, power and curious surprises.

	The Who Collection - The Who
		Psychoderelict is the most comprehensive of Pete's six rock operas.
		I was listening to Psychoderelict in 1995 when I connected the ideas of free information (the Lifehouse grid), a young audience and how the press work (as clearly depicted in Psychoderelict) and came up with School Sucks.
		Instead of songs painting a fantasy world, Psychoderelict (like The Who Sell Out, Who By Numbers and White City) is about the world we live in.

		The sets and special effects are also out of this world and leave you gazing with wonder at the stage.
		Some of the effects were debuted by Townshend on his Psychoderelict tour last year, apparently a trial run prior to the debut of Tommy.
		Between the sights and the sounds, the first act of the show is almost too much to handle.

		Though it appears the narrative version of this album has fallen out of print (sadly), anyone interested in Townshend's decades-in-the-making LIFEHOUSE project needs to own this album.
		PSYCHODERELICT addresses many of the LIFEHOUSE themes, telling the story of an aging rock-n-roller living in the time of The Grid.
		I've actually not heard the music-only version, but I know the original well enough to say that owning either version is better than neither.

		It's been six years since the last Pete Townshend album, the criminally overlooked Psychoderelict.
		Since then, he took what's left of The Who on the road, performing Quadrophenia--but he's only played a dozen or so solo shows.
		Let's start with the rarely played "Anyway Anyhow Anywhere." The song starts off with Townshend and a drum machine, then kicks firmly into high gear as he shouts, "nothing gets in my way, not even locked doors." Pete's voice sounds great, and his guitar work is even better.

	Twenty
		This was an out-take from Psychoderelict, and is now an out-take from Scoop 3.
		This is a good example of a song that was dumped from the Psychoderelict play at quite an early stage, and yet - in hindsight - it would seem to have provided quite a good view of the anti-hero Ray High's alcoholic narcissism, as well as his sense of dark irony.
		This is a live acoustic version of English Boy done at The Mayfair Theatre to launch the Psychoderelict CD before the cynical press.
