Hey thanx for the cool replies. Of course, I agree that psychedelic music might even embrace ANY other genre really, but the "purists" out there would object and say that psychedelic music mostly imcludes artists that have a solid blues base evolving into something with lots of feedback (eg Hendrix) and/or including exotic instruments like sitars, dulcimers, etc. (eg '67 Stones). The psychheads of yesteryear could be found on the West Coast (eg Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead) and undrr the Mason Dixon line so to say like TX (Austin....13th Floor Elevators, etc.). Modern day psych bands seem to originate from L.A. (eg Midnight Movies) and NYC (Eric Stumpo's Plan 9). Anyway, to the peeps out there who tend to snob the electric psych sounds, "repent" and listen to more psychedelic stuff...your mind will end up thanking you, hehehehheheheh!!
