Can anyone please recommend me some psychedelic rock bands/albums/songs featuring a sitar in them?
Perhaps something like this (well, at least the introduction  ):Thanks!

You could check out the Boredoms' "Seadrum/House of Sun" album. Two 20-minute tracks, the first of which is a fast, rollicking instrumental with lots of piano trills and wordless vocals, and the second of which is a droning bliss-out instrumental featuring the sitar.
I love the sitar too, so I'd be interested in seeing other responses to this thread. I have that Samsara album and enjoy it a lot, btw. |

Dzyan - Electric Silence. There are a few tracks on this album similar this, I believe. |

Start at 0:17:52 :
Sorry for the long-windedness; I just didn't like the other video that has audio out of tune. I just don't like it when things are out of tune. Also: Not exactly trippy, but, I guess, you could relate to it as psychedelic in a certain way, though the Vuh weren't into drugs, nor did they seem influenced by the psych-rock scene, as far as I know. In fact, quite a few tracks on "Hosianna Mantra" feature the sitar if they are not sitar-laden.

I have had the pleasure of talking (by phone) to Dzyan sitar/guitar player Eddy Marron, who was a very nice and down to earth fellow

You can hardly improve on the real thing (classical Indian raga)!!
When I need an electric fix of Indian flavored guitar, John McLaughlin usually fits the bill...this cat is GOD! |

"Love You Too" by The Beatles.
There's also a guitar that sounds like a buzzsaw, so that's a plus. |

Does Mike Keneally playing electric sitar as back-up to Steve Vai on G3 "For the Love of God" (1996) count?

Fareed Haque just posted this rough mix from his "Flat Earth Ensemble" onto Facebook, he mixes up all sorts of guitar, oud, sitar, tablas etc. and gets a very nice sound!

Wow ... I enjoyed that immensely.
While I listening to this, it brought back memories of listening to "Yeti" for the very first time for me ... totally awesome and excellent! Edited by moshkito - May 04 2012 at 22:01 |
