Favourite psychedelic music?

Migrated topic.

A little bump for this awesome thread with a favourite piece of mine by a favourite band:

[YOUTUBE]

I love the raw production, kind of lo-fi, sounds out of the 70's but with a modern edge to it. These guys got more expansive and out there after this but I love the mix of old school "Live at Pompeii" era Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Kraut rock with punk rock energy and catches them as they exploded into a supernova at the start of the bands life that would produce mucho amazing music over a decade or so of awesomeness.

Enjoy!

Enjoyed.

Heheheh.

I forgot how cool TMV sounded when John Frusciante was still playing with them. I guess it is only the last album that he was absent on, but the album before that was like 4 years before... so time has passed. I have to agree, though... from 2003 to 2006 those guys were something else in terms of creative output and raw energy.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez ftw.

Agreed! There later albums still had flashes of brilliance but I think towards the end they succumbed to Omar's restless creative spirit, and the machinations of the major label record industry and it's standard of tour for years to promote an album that Omar had grown tired of as soon as it was released which eventually killed the original spirit of the band... Hence his 30+ solo albums released in less than a decade and him ultimately moving on to fresher pastures with a new project (Bosnian Rainbows).

His greatest attribute is also the reason most of his bands are doomed to a bitter end, no one else can keep up with his relentless drive IMO.

I guess it is true that "the flame that burns twice as bright burns only half as long" (Thank you Les Claypool!)

Shine on you crazy diamonds :love:

A big bump for this thread, always good to get other nexus folks psychedelic recommendations!

Here's one from me, I've just discovered these guys in the last month, a japanese psychedelic/space rock collective (bordering on cult) called Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO. There is a bunch of offshoot projects from the main madman and speed guru guitar lord Makoto Kawabata and they have released a ridiculous amount of music in the past almost twenty years ranging from complete freak out space rock to beautiful, pastoral folk tinged psychedelia.

Their key song is called "Pink Lady Lemonade" which has been recorded in various versions over the years and is the equivalent the Grateful Deads "Dark Star" (for all you Dead heads).

Enjoy!

Another song, and another post to get this thread going again.

This one has been a favourite for the past few months for me, it makes my mind soar in the most blissful way. To think that this is all written, tracked and performed by just one twenty something Aussie bloke from Perth blows my mind. Kudos Kevin Parker, kudos.

C'mon Nexians, lets share some more of our favourite psychedelic music!
