I thought it would be nice to share my current obsession a Psychedelic Rock of the 60's and wanted to share this with fellow members
Here is a playlist I made from stuff posted on the Avant Progressive FB group

How do you see the evolution and relationship of Psychedelic and experimental avant progressive ?
What are you favorite and not so obvious Psychedelic acts?
Rock on !
"Psychedelic rock attempted to replicate the effects of and enhance the mind-altering experiences of hallucinogenic drugs, incorporating new electronic sound effects and recording effects, extended solos, and improvisation.
Common features include:
* Electric guitars, often used with feedback, wah wah and fuzzbox effects units;
* Elaborate studio effects, such as backwards tapes, panning, phasing, long delay loops, and extreme reverb;
* Elements of Eastern music, specifically Indian music,
* Non-Western instruments, specifically those originally used in Indian classical music, such as the sitar and tabla;
* Elements of free-form jazz
*A strong keyboard presence, especially electronic organs, harpsichords, or the Mellotron (an early tape-driven 'sampler')
*Extended instrumental segments, especially guitar solos, or jams;
disjunctive song structures, occasional key and time signature changes, modal melodies and drones;
*Electronic instruments such as synthesizers and the theremin;
*Lyrics that made direct or indirect reference to hallucinogenic drugs, as in Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" or Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit"; surreal, whimsical, esoterically or literary-inspired, lyrics."
