Help Me Scratch An Itch of Electric Psychedelia!

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.
Ta mon brave! :wink:

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.
