Psychedelic Music through the Decades

Spotify recommended this, and I'm loving it so far. It's Japanese psychedelic pop.

EDIT: OK, I'm now on a 24-minute track of spoken word. It's kinda creepy.

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.

There is a little Morrison there. It reminds me more of how the vocals are drenched in reverb which is often done with indie, Minimal Wave and Death Rock vocals. The guitar riff reminds me of another song, buit can't think of it at the moment.

The falsetto in that Harumi song reminds me of:
Brenton Wood - The Oogum Boogum Song 1967

I guess my favorite Japanese Psychedelic band would be The Mops. They can hit high note too especially in the intro.
THE MOPS - 永久運動(Perpetual Motion)

^ I must admit that when I saw the date and country of origin, I didn't expect much of your Harumi track, but I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for introducing me to someone new. But spoken word for 24 minutes!

That's pushing the envelope, but not in a good way.

Neapolitan's Oogum Boogum track was an interesting curiosity; great voice, and a nice line about "her brother's sloppy shirt", because it illustrates something many of us have noticed; that a beautiful woman can make the most unpromising clothes sexy.

Another famously good voice is Stevie Winwood's. This atmospheric track is from Traffic's self-titled 1968 album. Overall, the psychedelic lyrics on this album are nicely counterbalanced by natural, live-in-the-studio musicianship.
( TBH, though, I'm only listening to this so that I have something to add to the thread - but that still counts, doesn't it? )
