Discography[edit]

• The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead (with Richard Alpert & Ralph Metzner) (1966)

Reissued on CD in 2003.

• L.S.D. (1966)
• Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). Mercury Records (1967). Full audio.

Ostensibly a "user manual" for a self-guided LSD "trip". While the album did poorly in general release, it has become one of the rarest "memorabilia" items from Leary's work. One track, "All The Girls Are Yours" has been performed repeatedly by others, and was re-recorded in 2004.

• Right to Fly (1996)
• Beyond Life With Timothy Leary. Mouth Almighty with Mercury Records (1996)

"Beyond Life with Timothy Leary celebrates the life, death and after-life of Timothy Leary. The spiritual quality of this album, both musically and lyrically, characterizes it as a conceptual album, one that must be experienced from start to finish, in the tradition of a Pink Floyd album. Its ethereal quality makes this album a unique collection of dance-trance masterpieces intermixed with the best of Timothy Leary. The album features the Moody Blues' new version of their classic "Legend of a Mind," a new cut by Al Jourgensen (Ministry), and a tribute from Allen Ginsberg."^[7]

Multimedia performances[edit]

• During late 1966 and early 1967, Leary toured college campuses presenting a multi-media performance called "The Death of the Mind," which attempted to artistically replicate the LSD experience.

• In the early 1990s, Leary created several films in a form of hypnosis-tape he referred to as "Retinal Logic". These included Think for Yourself, How to Operate your Brain, and How to Operate your Brain Show (the final being a Public Access Television version of its namesake). Each video is presented as a lecture and demo of technological delivery method for hypnopædic learning. The videos include a barrage of colors, and early examples of Binural Entrainment

Computer games[edit]

• Relax is a stress reduction system with game elements programmed by Timothy Leary for the Commodore 64. The game includes an audio cassette and a headband with an EMG device that connects to a joystick port. There are three sequences: a psychedelic kaleidoscope, a graph showing the player's relaxation level, and a balloon popping mini-game that keeps track of the player's score. It was released by Synapse Software in 1984. ^{[8] [9]}
• Equal parts party game, roleplaying game and social simulation, Timothy Leary's Mind Mirror^[10] was released for Commodore 64, Atari XL, Apple II, and MS-DOS computers by Electronic Arts in 1985. The game was a digital reinterpreting of Leary's doctoral thesis. He later stated that he had plans to release an updated version of the program with advanced graphics (including Apple Macintosh and Amiga versions), but that never occurred. Timothy Leary's estate reported that the rights to the game were given back to their original programmers, who in-turn were attempting to update the program for a modern audience.^[11] This project evolved into "Mind Mirror 6"^[12]
