White Noise..electronic psych.. 'The Visitation' is incredibly dramatic and unmissable, and 'Firebird' is great too, as are a few other tracks.

Also don't miss the great long track 'Old Man Willow' by Elephants Memory, from the film 'Midnight Cowboy, which is a great eternal favourite of mine! But the band didn't stick to psychedelic stuff, sadly...but you can't miss this track!!

-a lot of this stuff is available to hear on YouTube, but not all!! But you can type out these band names and look them up on Google music blogspots.. That's how I got introduced to all this stuff.. And you can download full albums and even box sets.. Take your chances..

Just type [band name] then immediately afterwards, (with a space, obviously) 'blogspot.com'... Happy discovering!!... PS all of these bands made at least 1 album.. Sometimes 2.. Sometimes more!!Oh.. And I'm sure you can listen to a lot of this on Amazon Music app too..
