Default Psychedelic Music through the Decades

Same as Jackhammer's thread, just specialized for the Psychedlia and related styles like Sunshine Pop, and Acid Rock.

So what can you post?

It could be:
  • the Psychedelic Rock song you are listening to as you log onto MB
  • Psychedelic Rock album you just listen to
  • current interests like
    • a new band/song you found that you want to share
    • or an old band you put aside, but have recently gone back to

The Babe Rainbow - Secret Enchanted Broccoli Forest

Really, neither is Prog. A few people posted but they were usually the same ones. I think this only works for general, metal and maybe pop. Nobody's interested otherwise. Philistines.

^ Trollheart's thread also escaped my attention.
My suggestion now would be to ask a mod to merge the two threads, and with TH's permission, change the title of his thread to Prog and Psych. That way you might catch more potential contributors, and would also be echoing the title of the sub-forum, which'd make things simpler for anyone who is genre-challenged.

I even promise to post something myself, though I see that mainly I'll be putting "x2" onto Psy-Fi's posts.

I was thinking about asking a mod to delete. Since ~*~dreamer~*~ posted here, I decide on plan B which was to ask a mod to change the title. I guess I'll re-write the opening too. Asking to merge the two thread imo would be too much like stepping on Trollheart's toes.

It appears on an limited edition EP that was released on Sep 4, 2015, however the video was posted on YouTube on May 25, 2014.

^ It's your call of course, Neapolitan, but I don't imagine that Trollheart would mind - after all, he has so many threads going on MB that I don't suppose he's particularly territorial about one that's all but dried up. Would u like me to PM him about it ?

Thanks for such a detailed answer.

I'm exploring early Gong at the moment. If, like me, you find Daevid Allen's whimsy tedious, you have to choose pretty carefully. This track, at least, has some decent music to excuse his lapses into twee humour:-

It's so 1969 I thought you wouldn't believe me otherwise.

Gong sounds more Prog, there's some Experimental side of Psychedelia e.g. United States of America. Seeing that it came out '73 makes sense. It seems to go in the direction of Jazz fusion which more bands were doing in the mid 70s. Think of Relayer which Yes released in '74. The last bit of the song is a bit interesting ~ 11:21 you hear Post-Punk-like/Devo-like chords.

I wish I could analyse music with precision, like that Nea, but it's beyond me.

Right now I'm really excited by these guys, with their solid rhythms and fuzzed-up guitar. Is there even a touch of Jim Morrison in their singer? I'm not sure.
