Grew up in the 60s, but didn't listen much to psychedelia at the time - mostly into jazz, blues, r&b, Dylan. Former art student, played in country rock band, worked in video industry and as a rock journalist. Now rediscovering the glory that was pyschedelia .. feel free to join the trip. |

The Beatles
What more can be said?
Jimi Hendrix
Psychedelic space blues genius from another planet.
Consortium
Minor UK one-hit wonders with All The Love In The World - a classic piece of psychedelic harmony pop-soul crammed with more hooks than you could shake a sugar lump at.
Orpheus
Smoother than silk, this '60s harmony group delivered gorgeous melodies and pop hooks to die for. How come they never had a hit?
Human Instinct
Psych-folk-harmony tripsters whose deliciously evocative Renaissance Fair was never the hit it deserved to be. That said, it's a hit every day on Electric Lemonade, so there's a happy ending for you, of sorts ..
The Beatles

The greatest guitar god ever to wear skin-tight velvet loon pants with style.

Brilliant choice of obscure US psych nuggets - this guy really knows his stuff.

Mining forgotten, often brilliant UK psych gems.
