Yes! End of...

Google for a band called Jennifer Gentle, they're one of my favourite new psychedelic bands.

Acid Mothers Temple are pretty amazing (although you'll either love them or hate them).

They may be a bit too "out there" for your tastes, but are, definetly, psychedellic.

I have Crystal Rainbow Pyramid by them, it was on Mojo's 'In Search Of Syd' cover CD. It's really good!

psychedelia was at its height with Cream's "Disraeli Gears", Hendrix "Electric Ladyland",the Moody Blues, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, "Sgt Pepper" Beatles etc - it ventured into soul music too - some later Temptations and the like.

it was a great groove, but things have moved on. enjoy the albums for what they are, great pieces of zeitgeist.

Funnily enough, I've just been listening to Pink Floyds Pipers At The Gates Of Dawn, and that was a perfect album for that type of music, at that time.

I thought the Chemical Brothers using the Beatles Tomorrow Never Knows as a guide with the big beat sound with psychedelic music was cool. Oasis and Radiohead have some of that 60 psychedelic sound in their sound at times.

I used to go to a Psytrance (Psychedelic trance) in Manchester a while ago. It was called Sunrise. I never really liked the music, but I loved the atmosphere in there. There was two rooms. One played chilled out psy music and the other one played full on psytrance.

I think the genre had it's time and moment in the spotlight. Like somebody else already mentioned, it is a genre to look back on and listen to in order to transport you back in time - I don't really think it has a place in new music today. That should take nothing away from it though! Pink Floyd were awesome.

'We're Only In It For The Money' by Frank Zappa & The Mothers was spot on check out "Who Needs The Peace Corps ?" What's there to live for?
Who needs the peace corps?
Think I'll just DROP OUT
I'll go to Frisco
Buy a wig & sleep
On Owsley's floor

Walked past the wig store
Danced at the Fillmore
I'm completely stoned
I'm hippy & I'm trippy
I'm a gypsy on my own
I'll stay a week & get the crabs &
Take a bus back home
I'm really just a phony
But forgive me
'Cause I'm stoned

Every town must have a place
Where phony hippies meet
Psychedelic dungeons
Popping up on every street
GO TO SAN FRANCISCO . . .

How I love ya, How I love ya
How I love ya, How I love ya Frisco!
How I love ya, How I love ya
How I love ya, How I love ya
Oh, my hair is getting good in the back!

Every town must have a place
Where phony hippies meet
Psychedelic dungeons
Popping up on every street
GO TO SAN FRANCISCO . . .

Hotcha!

First I'll buy some beads
And then perhaps a leather band
To go around my head
Some feathers and bells
And a book of Indian lore
I will ask the Chamber Of Commerce
How to get to Haight Street
And smoke an awful lot of dope
I will wander around barefoot
I will have a psychedelic gleam in my eye at all times
I will love everyone
I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me on the street
I will sleep . . .
I will, I will go to a house
That's, that's what I will do
I will go to a house
Where there's a rock & roll band
'Cause the groups all live together
And I will join a rock & roll band
I will be their road manager
And I will stay there with them
And I will get the crabs
But I won't care
Becaus
