^ I Feel Fine every time I hear the fuzz-guitar reverb of The Open Mind. I think it may have been DrWu who recommended Kak to me too. It turned out to be a good thing I wasn't put off by the name.  Smile

Hi,

Not sure I would state that, which is not true. What I dislike is the idea that a crazy light show, and funny clothing is what makes it "psychedelic", and that is not true at all, many times. Best example, was NEKTAR, that had a magnificent light show and made it look like it was "psychedelic" and they already had a huge song about Jimi (Day in the Life of a Preacher) and then about the feeling of the drugs (Tab in the Ocean) that can be constituted as a song about being stoned, and I'm not sure it is!

Musically, it's like saying that Stravinsky is totally psychedelic, but because he is well defined musically, and some rock music is not, we have to consider it "psychedelic" because we do not know what the value and attitude is really all about.

The Edgar Broughton Band, is not exactly about psychedelic and even Edgar would tell you heck no ... it would suggest that no one is listening to what they are saying, and what they are doing ... which takes away one of the most vital forms of expression in music, the meaningful words.

However, this is not all about saying that drugs and this and that did not "influence" the music and its words ... obviously it did in some form, and the history of the arts is famous for many of these folks ... but even though they are different and strange sometimes, we don't go around saying that they are psychedelic ... we give them credit for their work and their vision, which is what I think we are not doing.

I consider Sgt Pepper's (for example) not as much psychedelic as I do its influences that helped put together such an album ... all you have to do is look at the cover, and how some of these folks influenced the Beatles ... but already, unlike many  pop bands, they were making an effort to get out of that teenie weenie bullpucky of some many pop bands in the top of the pops or top ten.

One last bit ... behind the drugs, the drink, and every thing else ... IT IS STILL THE SAME PERSON, and I'm not sure that I would enjoy creating something that ... supposedly ... was all about the dope and left me behind as a total nobody! That would defeat the purpose!

Stravinsky would be psychedelic if he played a fuzz-toned violin. Tongue
 
Psychedelic Rock is ALL about the music for me. I've never dabbled in any psychedelic substances, despite rumours to the contrary. Wink

3 stars 1994: Dark - Teenage Angst (The Early Sessions) - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8FA5983755279D24

DARK were a short-lived British Psychedelic Rock band based in Northampton, who released just one album before splitting up and going their separate ways. Their super-rare "Round the Edges" (1971) album has now become a real collectors item as there were apparently only sixty private pressings made of the original LP album, which were mainly given away to family and friends of the band. According to the New Musical Express, the album has now become one of the rarest and most valuable records of all time, fetching ridiculous prices of anywhere between £5,000 and £25,000. The album was reissued on CD in 2003 with four bonus tracks added to the original six songs on the album. A compilation album titled "Teenage Angst (The Early Sessions)" was issued on CD in 1993. Let's throw some light on the Dark "Round the Edges" album now and give it a listen.

We journey into the "Darkside" for the album opener, which sounds from the title alone, like it might be some dark satanic number, ala Black Sabbath. It all sounds very ominous, like thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening, but it's really about the "Darkside" of the moon, so there's no need to have nightmares. This psychedelic music is more Iron Butterfly than Black Sabbath. It's a heavy, rough-and-ready, seven and a half minute fuzzy-toned psychedelic jam. It begins as a sweet strawberry sundae of laid-back psychedelia but gradually turns into an aggressive stormy Monday of way-out heavy guitar riffing, and very good it is too. It's not quite in the same league as "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida", but the music has the same raw earthiness to it. We're dancing around the "Maypole" now for the second song, but don't worry, it's not some airy-fairy nonsense about ridiculous-looking Morris Men making fools of themselves as they dance around the "Maypole." No, this is another high-powered, flower-power psychedelic freak out. In true psychedelic fashion, the bizarre lyrics make no sense at all, so one wonders if these guys were eating magic mushrooms before they wrote the following enigmatic lyrics:- "The elephants were dancing round a maypole and a tree, The dog in front loves the dog behind, just like you and me, The English pub collapses like a pack of English cards, I thought we'd have to die of thirst, instead we'll have to starve." ..... Far out, man! It's time now to "Live for Today", because tomorrow might never come, although we're still here to listen to this album nearly fifty years on, having survived the Cold War together. "Live for Today" is the longest song on the album at just over eight minutes in duration. It begins as a laid-back mellow groove, but there's ample time for a long instrumental freak-out of fuzzy chainsaw guitar riffing to close out Side One.

There's really not much to add about the three songs on Side Two:- "R.C.8", "The Cat" & "Zero Time", other than to say they're all hard and heavy psychedelic fuzz-guitar freak-outs, just like Side One, which might even begin to sound monotonous and repetitive to some ears. The music is very much in the style of the American psychedelic band Blue Cheer, who also have the same raw earthiness to their sound. There are no gentle romantic ballads to break up this album and give it more variety. The album is one long unadulterated jam session of fuzz-guitar Hard Rock from beginning to end although, if you're in the mood for a good old-fashioned non-stop barrage of raw, wild and frenzied Psychedelic Rock, then this trippy album might be just your cup of tea.

Don't be afraid of the Dark, step into the light and take a rainbow-coloured psychedelic trip back in time with the Dark "Round the Edges" album. It might not have the power to give you a temporary altered state of conciousness, but you can still get high on this great music without the aid of any psychedelic substances. This is raw and earthy, back to basics, foot-stomping Psychedelic Rock with no pretensions of grandeur. The album might not appeal to fans of Progressive Rock generally, but it IS an essential album for lovers of classic British Psychedelic Rock, and the rarity value of this lost album treasure alone means it's well-worth giving the album a listen. The original LP album is said to be the "Holy Grail" for record collectors.

^ Thanks. That's a great selection of psych tracks. I really need to check out the albums now. Thumbs Up

I'd always assumed The Misunderstood were an American band, but I must have misunderstood, as they're listed as a joint UK/US band on Discogs, having moved from sunny California to rainy London town in the mid-1960's. Smile

Hi,

And a wonderful video that is. It really, kinda explains what a lot of their music was about, as you can better understand the lyrics now, but while they were clear before, in many ways, a lot of the subjects were taboo for most popular audiences, if not top ten folks.

Of all the albums, I love OORA, which shows how intelligent and well read Edgar is ... but we would not listen to a few pieces in it. I'm thinking Rocococooler, and my friends, THAT IS NOT PSYCHEDELIC!

Edgar Broughton has some new stuff coming, and one piece was already previewed on Space Pirate Radio ... by the way!

I was always a little disappointed in Baker's later bands and lp's after Cream .
'Air force' and Baker's other things are not on PA except for the 'Baker Gurvitz' stuff. I actually like Gun and Three Man Army (Gurvitz bros) better than the Baker-Gurvitz  stuff. And except for some Gun none of them are especially psychedelic imo.

btw..I have the 2nd 'Gun' on original vinyl as well as the 'Three Man Army' lp's....and the first 2 'Baker- Gurvitz' lp's.

ck this out..........from 2nd valled Mahesha

^ I like Three Man Army too, and I'll have to make a note to include The Gun in one of my later psychedelic 
A-Z lists. I already have Graham Bond lined up for the letter "G" on the second A-Z list, even though he's not especially psychedelic either. He is pretty Magickal though.  Smile

Had a chance a year ago to get an original vinyl of Holy Magick but i missed my chance. It goes for anywhere from $50 and up now in good shape. I thought the Indianapolis shop was asking too much but they w eren't.

I only have one Graham Bond album on CD: "Solid Bond", but I can also watch him performing live with Ginger Baker's Air Force on Beat Club. Thumbs Up
