Kevin's Watch

The stuff that makes you think you might be on a lot of drugs. Layered, psychedelic type stuff.

I'll start with a few classics from the genres I enjoy.

Death in June - Death is a drummer
Current 93 - Dreammoves of the sleeping king
Coil - 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Ethyl-Amphetamine: (DOET/Hecate)
Legendary Pink Dots - Invaders in the raita

Olias of Sunhillow Jon Anderson
Echoes Pink Floyd
Awaken Yes
Procession The Moody Blues
The Musical Box Genesis

I like this so far. Sounds like led zeppelin quite a bit in some spots. The 70s fantasy folk stuff was often quite fun. I am going to guess that you like tangerine dream from that same era as well? (this album is from 1973)

ayeup.

Saw them with Andy Summers as an opening act in Miami in 1988.

I enjoy several artists in that genre:
Vangelis
Kitaro
Jean Michele Jarre
Michael Oldfield (although he's a guitarist)
etc...

But Olias is my meditation/soothing mantra. I prefer the straight music through headphones with my eyes closed, and will turn to that more than anything else if I find myself feeling overwhelmed.

Byrds - Eight Miles High

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit

Status Quo - Pictures of Matchstick Men

per Status Quo - how is the drummer not losing his sticks?

Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense And Peppermints

Amboy Dukes, The Journey to the Center of the Mind

and yes that is Ted Nugent in the Amboy Dukes.

Listened to some samples of this. Looking forward to listening to this whole thing later. What I heard sounds really awesome.

Nullo, aren't those just pop songs?

psychedelic pop songs. nothing wrong with making music for the masses.

Most of my psychedelic collection is directly connected to Hawkwind in some way or another, so I might as well link:

DRider

Silver Machine

In Search Of Space

Hall Of The Mountain Grill

Will add more if anyone's interested, there are a couple I need to find good versions of. Some of their recordings are unlistentoable, and that's not even a word.

Anything by Failure.
Farflung's A Wound in Eternity.
Truckfighter's Universe

Hawkwind's never really been my thing, but thanks, Sorus. I enjoyed that.

Ah, the '60s...

From my favourite album, Coil's Astral Disaster.
Very trance inducing song
Coil - 2nd sun syndrome
This one always makes me feel like a voyeur in a dream
Coil - Sea priestess

Here is a short swedish song (only 76 minutes for one song). I won't translate the whole thingie, but the title means, 'I am completely heavy'.
Covenant - Jag är Fullständigt Tung

I love how a lot of Americans that have heard of them describe them as "the British Grateful Dead". I couldn't image two more different bands musically.

For me one of the weirdest (side one) and scariest (side two) albums to take drugs to (or even sit in a dark room alone and listen):
