Wiedereinmal und unermüdlich kämpfen Proletheus und Heller Than Hell für Verständnis und Wohlbefinden, indem sie das Parkett der Zille unwillkürlich zu Lava verwandeln und Geschwafel mit Schwefel ersticken. Also sattelt eure Leguane, spannt eure Lemuren vor den Karren, selten hat etwas so sehr Sinn gemacht, wie dies.

Top "New-Psych" Albums

Fortunately 60s psychedelic is brought back to life in many different ways. What might have started with Bands like Spacemen 3 and The Brian Jonestown Massacre has now become a trend that is more or less still Underground. This is a list of SOME of the greatest musical achievements from 1980s until nowerdays.

Spacemen 3 - The Perfect Prescription (1987)

Members: Jason Pierce, Jon Mattock, Mark Refoy, Pete Bain, Pete Kember, ~~Sterling Roswell~~, ~~Tim Morris~~

In our oppinion there best ever record, "The Perfect Prescription" offers a lot of what Spacemen 3 are known for. Bringing the old sound into modern times in a way that is both well known but also completely new to the listener. Definetly a Must-Hear!

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Take It From The Man! (1996)

Anton Newcombe, ~~Dan Allaire~~, ~~Dawn Thomas~~, ~~Dean Taylor~~, ~~Hunter Crowley~~, Jeff Levitz, ~~Joel Gion~~, Matt Hollywood,~~Miranda Lee Richards~~, ~~Peter Hayes~~, ~~Rick Maymi~~

To be honest, all we can say about this Album is just "Wow!". Somewhat Trendsetters in modern day Psychedelic Rock, The Brian Jonestown Massacre with Mastermind Anton Newcombe are just the right thing if you are looking for that kind of music. Although they got a lot of great records, this one definitely stands out. Lucky enough "Straight Up And Down" became the Title Track of the Tv-Series "Boardwalk Empire" and of course for a reason. Inspirational for loads of Bands that tried or are trying to follow in their footsteps, it seems kind of impossible to us that one would achieve anything like it. Pure genius!

Dead Meadow - Shivering Kings And Others (2003)

~~Cory Shane~~, Jason Simon, Mark Laughlin, ~~Stephen McCarty~~, Steve Kille

Dead Meadow mixes psychedelic influences with a bit of Stoner-Rock, yet in a way that isn't quite like the sound one would except from this confluence. The Fact that a simple Guitar, Bass and Drum-Set-Up produce such a wall of sound is astonishing.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - B.R.M.C. (2001)

Leah Shapiro, ~~Nick Jago~~, Peter Hayes, Robert Levon Been

The Debut Album greatest piece of art this band has produced until "Specter At The Feast", BRMC managed to put something into the Sound of the likes of BJM or Spacemen 3 that has more to offer then just Delay and Reverb. Definitely 100% reccomendable to the young and the elder. And great stuff to drive a motorbike on 200 miles an hour!

The Allah-Las - Self Titled (2012)

Miles Michaud, Pedrum Siadatian, Spencer Dunham, Matthew Correia

Somewhat Newcomers, "The Allah-Las" debut album sounds like a mixture of desert and sea, which also sums up the variety of songs the record has to offer. Their surfy, psychy, bluesy Rock and those soft vocals take you into a land of its own. Produced by Nick Waterhouse, one can hope for much more to come from those guys.

Top Albums Of The 60s

2012-10-12T18:05:00.003+02:00

60s Psychedelic Rock / 1968

Members: Ed King, John Morton, Mike Lane, Mike Parkison, Steve Hansen, Tom Tanory, Willy Daffern

Definitely one of the best ever albums in Psychedelic Rock, this records value in sound and arrangement is not definable by numbers, nor is it's rare and outstanding self that let's you fly through time and space. It was probably a good thing, they only made this one album and then split up for mystical reasons that may never be revealed. There are only few albums we'd recommend more then this and the musical journey is for one to experience himself in its variety.

Steve Bartek - guitars, flute (1967–1968, 1974–1975, 1983, 2003, 2006–present)

This First Studio Album of Strawberry Alarm Clock is a masterpiece from the first to the last song.

The spectrum goes from beat-like "Birdman of Alkatrash" to smooth and easy Psych-Ballads a lá "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow" or "Tomorrow". "Incense and Peppermints" got it's very own style, that is a mixture of dream pop, psychedelic grooves and colourful sounds that make you wanna...

Rhythm and Blues / 1969

Members: Rob Hoeke

Though a compilation, this 23-track double-LP contains a lot of great rhythm and blues songs, with "Margio" and "When People Talk" probably some of the greatest ever, most going forward and danceable songs with a whole lot of power. But it doesn't finish after those two tracks because there is a lot more to discover. A nice piece of work from the dutch composer and mastermind who released some more great albums.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Psychedelic Rock / 1966

Members: Emil Thielhelm, Eric Kaz, Geoff Daking, Ralph Scala, Ronnie Gilbert (Mike Esposito)

This is without a doubt very much on top when it comes to milestone Psychedelic Rock albums of the 1960's. There is no song that would bore you and it doesn't even sound like anyone of the musicians would have tried not to fulfill that feeling. It just floats up and down an invisible stream that makes you feel groovy and makes you wanna move your toes. "Tobacco Road" is an much-and-mostly-bad-covered classic that just can't be missed in your collection. And there is plenty more on this record that just amazes the hearer once he is willing to take that trip back to the good old days.

60s Beat/Pop / 1967

Members: Brian Bennett, Gary Unwin, Malcolm Lenny, Mel Wright, Mike Douglas, Tony Coates

This mostly unknown album is as outstanding as it is absurd. You could say that it is as unique in style and arrangement as it is hard to get on vinyl these days. The special sound manages to create a funny yet danceable and groovy sound that you probably never heard anywhere else before. Songs like "Uwe aus Duisburg" or "What's a bulb?" are good examples for the very own musical richness that The Hifis have developed and so we recommend it quite highly because it is a must-have indeed.

60s Freakbeat/Tropicalia

Members: Arnaldo Baptista, Liminha, Sergio Dias (Rita Lee)

This Brazilian Group really knew how to set up a great psychedelic album with influences from South-American music styles and western song patterns. They have been the most famous band of the Tropicalia scene for a reason and this first LP shows why. Great stuff!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Traditional Moroccan Folk Music / 1971

This isn't an actual Brian Jones-album, it represents traditional Moroccan folk music mostly played with different kinds of pipes and was recorded during a week-long ritual at the Joujouka village in Morocco and performed by "The Master Musicians Of Joujouka". The album is something completely different compared with the other stuff, we are recommending here, but it is at least worth listening and deciding wether to like or not. We do!

_________________________________________________________________________________

American Psych-Folk/World Music / 1967

Members: Mike Herron, Robin Williamson (Danny Thompson, Nazir Jairazbhoy, Licorice McKechnie, John Hopkins)

This second album of "The Incredible String Band" is a multi-instrumental masterpiece. It's got a whole bunch of mystical folk tunes on it, that you probably never heard like this before. There may be no band dead or alive producing melodies and songs as compiled on this LP. And you may be driving cross-country or having a cup of tea while listening to it!
