Help Me Scratch An Itch of Electric Psychedelia!

Post by Orbited insanitarium »

Hello all. You keeping good?
Here is what's on my mind, recently I've been listening to lots of prog and psych from the 70s. I notably love the guitar tones from this era of music. Although I'm no guitarist. (Air or not. :wink:)
While going through this proggy binge, I've been noticing a particular sound embedded in a few of my favourite albums.
A riff, hypnotic, blissed out, double-reverbed. Electric!

If I could hear more music using this sound. I feel it may be signature to a lot of experimental rock of the decade, but I've fallen in love with it.

Here are examples:



From 00:19 to 00:37


From 00:00 to 00:40

This may be a niche ask, does anyone know of any songs with this style/tone. I suspect the riff itself is quite popular, but if there's any ye know with the above's psychedelic tinge, link below!

Cheers to you. :D

That's got the fuzzy, spacey echo riffs I'm looking for. Reminds me of some late Sixties Sitar psych with a garage-y noise rock edge. "Orange Can" I'll have to remember that.

Mystical psych, these are very potion-fuelled.

Side note: I've come across Captain Beefart's YT channel before. Through that, it introduced me to The Black Angels and The Kundalini Genie. Great space-age musak to "Turn on, tune in, drop out" to.

I wonder how this Trick era b-side passed me by for so long.

Not sure if I'd file this under 'electric' but Haircuts for Men has given me the grooves for a while now.

It's rather nice and I listened on a walk earlier this afternoon. It'll have to sit with me though.
