This is where the four-episode roundtable chat about the so-called ‘Second Summer of Love’ of 1988 and ’89 comes to its conclusion, the aim of which has been to highlight signs and clues that this youth and music-movement that popularised Acid House in the UK was a psy-op same as its namesake of the 1960s. Certainly, one of the overriding themes talked about and mentioned in all four episodes has been the numerous parallels/similarities between ’88 and ’89 and the so-called ‘counter-culture’ scene of the 1960s in the UK and US.

Hosted by Mark Devlin, an author, DJ and speaker on matters pertaining to the occult and conspiratorial in music, this chat has been part of a one-off series special in Mark’s long-running ‘Good Vibrations’ podcasts - myself (Matt Sergiou) and fellow podcasters Chris and Dom of the site ‘Sheep Farm’ have been the guests.

In this final episode, a lot of the focus is on MDMA, otherwise known as ‘ecstasy,’ the drug that came to prominence at dance events and the early-day Raves of the late 1980s. Was it seeped into the Acid House culture by the intelligence services/military, same as LSD is suspected to have been back in the 1960s? With this in mind, during episode four, I mention Leo Zeff, a psychiatrist who’s been dubbed the “Johnny Appleseed of MDMA” for helping to spread the drug’s use across the world in the early 1980s, back when it was still largely unknown to the masses. Then there’s the so-called ‘Boston Group,’ a collective of individuals with connections to M.I.T., who helped to introduce the drug to the dancefloors of New York, allegedly as part of a “social experiment.” This leads me on to mention signs of MDMA’s use within MK ULTRA.
Mentioned also during this concluding episode, Timothy Leary and his connection to both so-called ‘Summers of Love,’ The Beatles, New Order and Soft Cell, rumoured MK ULTRA psychiatrist Dr Henry A. Murray, and more.
