Though known mainly as a hard/ heavy rock outfit, in their early days, UFO released a space rock album in 1971 called "Flying" -a studio recording that is pretty awesome...

Gong. Something like "Live, etc" will give you a good sampling of their work.

There're some pre- and post-'70s albums on your list, so I allowed myself an early-'80s, too:

Älgarnas Trädgård (S) - ”Framtiden är ett svävande skepp.. (1972)
Far East Family Band (J) - Nipponjin   (1975)
Flower Travellin’ Band (J) - Satori   (1971)
Hawkwind (UK) - In Search Of Space   (1971)
Erkin Koray (TR) - Elektronik Türkuler   (1974)
P.L.J. Band (GR) - Armageddon   (1982)

Hi,

Guru Guru should be here in their first albums:

UFO - 1970
Hinten - 1971
Kanguru - 1972

The live album that was released later with Ax Genrich is also a part of this stuff.

It is both psychedelic and spacy ... and far out. It is something that we don't discuss here, but the insanity to take the guitar work even further to create something totally crazy ... to the point that many of us will just say ... that's noise, not music! But the idea is far out and then some!

Dance of the Flames fits a bit as psych, but after the two really neat major cuts in it, the rest is probably not as strong. The new guitarist must think he is a younger John McG. Still a very good album, but a transitional one that we will get confused about the band and its work.

And if that is not enough Tango Fango is a bit like Kraan in my book, but features one of the best psych things ever that no one here will listen to it, because it is not only historical, it is political, and ... it's funny ... but we don't like the early rock mentions instead of some progressive hero. Das Lebendige Radio .... is way too neat in telling us a lot about the time and place, but the song riders in the progressive music history don't give a cow's poop about it, even though it is very with it!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Give a listen to the pre-stardom Alice Cooper album Easy Action (1970). It really is an underrated bit of early 70s Acid Rock/Psych, particularly the long form songs "Below Your Means" and "Lay Down and Die Goodbye".

For more of the pre-punk glitter rock made famous on later albums, try "Return of the Spiders", "Still No Air" and "Mr. And Misdemeanor".
