Psychedelia

I just sat down and started listening to Warrior on the Edge of Time. Whoa! Stuff may grow on me.. it just might. Hawkwind, by the way.

 

robyn hitchcock, syd barrett, the smoke, traffic, dandelions chariot, the crazy world of arthur brown, t-rex, nirvana *the sixties nirvana not the cobain one*, caravan,
fairport convention...

 

Blue cheer kicks ass.. em, that isnt psychadelia is it? Sounds like it. Heh..

 

They did some psychedelia, but I think they're better known for their hard rock-ish stuff.

 

Lucifer sam you are thinking of a different book.

this one is like not that expensive at all, and is like a top 100 list of albums and singles. I just cant beleive there is no mention of Tyranosourus Rex

but yeah its a nice picture book.

 

Blue Cheer are known for being "louder than God" and were probably the first heavy metal band (I think).

Still great though. :H

 

you can't include EVERY band.

 

Indeed, besides that, lovelightlisa actually did mention T-Rex. About Fairport Convention: I love them too, but besides their debut and may be a bit on What we did on our holidays they weren't really psychedelia

Ah yes, that's a great album! If you like this, check out Ayreon - Into the electric castle. It's also a concept album and heavily influenced by (among many others) Hawkwind. It's not totally psychedelia though, but I'm sure the Hawkwind fans will like it.

 

Yep but in their 2 previous album ("Aftermath" and "Between the Buttons") there's early form of experimentation (some members the band knew the LSD just before the recording of "Aftermath") and both albums can be called psychedelic but those album are maybe more influenced by Hashish than pure LSD...
It depends if you mean a soft psychedelic record or a "pure deep in the trip" psychedelic record.

And i confirm that from my point of vue the Velvet are very psychedelic but in an original way. The band were under Heroin and psychedelic drugs not purely under psychedelic drugs...here is the difference.
Until today i like all their album xpt i can't get into their organized noize "White Light White Heat" this album drive me nervous.

 

I just hear them today their "Improved New" album and the two first song are really cool... but the other can pass easily the acid test

And in fact you were talkin' about the "Warriors on the Edge of Time" album by Hawkwind... It's impossible to find this album... For 2 years i'm searchin this last album with Lemmy... and i can't put my hands on it...
I don't like when i think too much about an album ... i made to many hopes on it after so many times...
I hear just 30 sec. of each track 2 years ago ...and since that time i buy all their album before 1975... but this one ...shit.
You're lucky to have it in front of you! Take at less some pleasure to listen to it ...just for me! :H

 

I'll never get enough White Light/White Heat.

Heh, I'm listening to "Foggy Notion" right now. Thank God for the Velvets.

 

yeah lets thank god for the velvets

 

And thanx god for Dandalion's Chariot... i'm surprised that u know them.
They were great...i found a connection between Dandalion's and Pink Floyd with Barett...
they recorded just one album...but thanx god for all those little precious bands

 

I've only heard "Madman Running Through the Fields", i like that song. Sounds like they're really good. I'll check their album out.

 

frank zappa & the mothers of invention has officially blown my mind

 

they are great arnt they... another decent band thats about as crazy as the mothers is ween (not too sure if theyed be call psychadelic though)

 

syd barrett is the best

 

im suprised no one's mentioned The Flaming Lips, especially the album 'Zaireeka' -- amazing

 

everything's already been said....

 

sorry but not EVERYTHING has been said (not that it matters either)
