Psychedelia

old or new, who likes it? Favourite bands from the genre? As for me, The Silver Apples have to be on the VERY top of my list w/ their Contact album being my favourite. The 13th Floor Elevators, Can, Pink Floyd, etc too of course! But there's just something in the Silver Apples music that reaches me on a level like no psychedelia has before...

 

Syd Barrett, Mothers of Invention, Traffic, Soundtrack of Our Lives, Country Joe & The Fish, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blossom Toes, Blue Cheer, Moby Grape, The Zombies, The United States of America, Of Montreal, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Beatles, Grateful Dead, Acid Mothers Temple, Silver Apples, 13th Floor Elevators, The Move, Small Faces, Pretty Things, Electric Prunes, Love, Captain Beefheart, Tomorrow, The Creation, The Soft Machine...etc etc.

thats pretty much in order. :sunglasse

 

^What he said.

 

old new, neo retro, live it breathe it but much too lazy to list it

 

Love it. My favorite music, really.. although I have little or no use for the whole overhyped SF scene (The Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Joplin, most of the acts at Woodstock) which was more or less roots rock compared to the more cosmic acts like Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd

 

exactly.

 

It's, of course, Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Hendrix, Joplin, Rolling stones,...

 

the things are clear...i can't be more clear

but early Amon Duul II records are the cream of psychedelic rock...
And The Pretty Things "SF Sorrow" (68) & "Parachutes" (70) goes really deep into the trip...
And bro you forgot the 3 great psychedelic album of The Byrds (66-68)...
There's so many things ...and the '69 album of Jethro Tull "Stand Up" is my fave Jethro and their most psych album!
But for the Silver Apples...mmmh i never taste them...

 

Soulrebel also forgot the Golden Dawn; I like the Golden Dawn, I do.

 

Golden Dawn ! more and more mysteries into the psyche-underground!...

 

He forgot the Seeds, too. Something about the album Future gets me. Oh yeah, and there's no Arthur Brown on that list, either. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown is, well, crazy!

 

a

I heard the album Future last week and some songs are great but i can't get into The Crazy World... this kind of records will make me became mad...yep really... but only if i took mushrooms or acid...this guy is dangerous for me too crazy...
I've got hopefully not this problem with Barrett records with or without the Floyd

 

no one mentioned VU

 

The Velvet Underground was not a psychedelic band.

 

i'd concider them psychedelia... i mean come on... if you dont say anything about someone sayin the stones are psychedelia... then the VU is psychedelia

 

The Orb and Future Sound Of London.

 

Listen to the Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request and then listen to the VU's White Light/White Heat. Then it's easy to understand.

 

I like trance and neopsychedelia... because modern technology allows artists to express themselves more the artists of the 60s...

Examples: Subarachnoid Space, Lamp of the Universe, etc.

 

Now you're talkin' , there's a CD album and a CDR album due on the hand/eye label at www.somedarkholler.com very soon, and a vinyl version of the CD coming out on September Gurls also can't wait,

 

Ah yes, a while ago I ran into Lamp of the universe - The cosmic union. Great album.
I also like newer stuff like Colour Haze and the Liquid sound company.
