Thought I was alone on this one, but it seems there are some others who like the idea too, so... will we ever have a retro 60's psychedellic review section on this site?

I have to agree with Adrenachrome, psychedelic music is psychedelic music, what ever the sub-genre. Raja Ram started off in the late 60's in a psychedelic/hippy/ band called Quintessence. System7 comprises of Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy who were both part of seminal hippy-psy band Gong. Psy-trance does have a direct connection(in my opinion) with the 'old' psy music. Even Ozric Tentacles spawned Eat Static. I would love to see a review section for the old music as I think some people these days need to learn a bit more about psychedelia as a whole. It shouldn't be limited to one type of music.....PS I have loads(about 300 albums) of 60's, 70's 80's and 90's psychedelic music(non-trance), so if anyone wants any recommendations, then let me know.

 

 

PS I have even more psy-trance....

OK Shpongled, here goes:

 

from the 60's I recommend the following to get started:

(this album has a great 'wobbly' jug sound through it.)

The Beatles - Sgt Pepper

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

The Beatles - Revolver

(Just for the tracks 'She Said She Said' and 'Tomorrow Never Know')

Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced?

Jimi Hendrix - Axis Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland

Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow

Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesty's Request

Pretty Things - S.F Sorrow

Tomorrow - Tomorrow

 

70's

 

Gong - Radio Gnome Invisible Part 1: Flying Teapot

Gong - Radio Gnome Invisible Part 2: Angels Egg

Gong - Radio Gnome Invisible Part 3: You

Hawkwind - In Search of Space

Hawkwind - Doremi Fasol Latido

Hawkwind - Space Ritual

Hawkwind - Hall of the Mountain Grill

Hawkwind - Warrior on the Edge of Time

Amon Duul 2 - Yeti

Amon Duul 2 - Dance of the Lemmings

More Ozrics and Psy trance/Ambient stuff that you probably know about...

 

These are just a few suggestions and are by no means definitive.

 

Happy Listening
