Please help improve this article by adding reliable references.This article is written like a personal reflection or essay and may require cleanup.Please help improve it by rewriting it in an encyclopedic style.Unlike acid rock, which refers to styles overlapping with hard rock or heavy metal, psychedelic rock is generally more mellow.There are also other forms of psychedelic music that started from the same roots and diverged from the prevalent rock style into electronic music.Toni Fisher's recording of "The Big Hurt" in 1959 (though that would not be regarded as a psychedelic record).Pink Floyd's "See Emily Play").Please Please Me (1963) (aka Introducing...Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was the result of over 700 hours of studio sessions over a period of more than six months.The Beatles were among the first to use the technique, and it can be heard on both the Revolver album (1966) and on the 1967 single "Strawberry Fields Forever", which includes a reversed recording of Ringo's drums and cymbals.An excellent later example of this technique is on the song "Roundabout" by Yes, which opens with a sustained piano chord, recorded and then replayed backwards and precisely edited so that the reversed piano chord ends exactly at the point that the first chord of the guitar intro is struck.The effect known as "phasing" (or flanging) is one of the most characteristic production techniques used in psychedelic rock.The invention of this effect, which first came into use around 1967, is usually credited to British recording engineer George Chkiantz, and it features prominently on the 1967 singles "Itchycoo Park" by The Small Faces and "Sky Pilot" by Eric Burdon and The Animals.Although phasing was originally created with tape recorders, electronic engineers soon devised ways of duplicating it electronically and a wide range of effects units soon came on the market, allowing guitarists and others to easily add a rich phasing effect to their instruments.Another key psychedelic recording, which uses phasing and which combines compressed piano, Hammond organ and Mellotron, is the hit 1968 version of Bob Dylan's "This Wheel's on Fire" recorded by Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll and Trinity.Lyrical themes
Many psychedelic rock and pop songs feature themes of childhood, nostalgia and longing for lost innocence; the surrealistic creations of British author Lewis Carroll were an especially strong influence on the genre.Other songs feature lyrics which meditate on broad existential themes, while other express criticisms or even a rejection of "straight" society and the materialistic values of western consumer culture, such as George Harrison's "Within You Without You".Visual presentation
Psychedelia also had an obvious impact on the visual presentation of pop recordings, especially LP album covers.Beatles themselves (borrowed from Madame Tussauds).LP featured a mulitcoloured abstract pattern created by design collective The Fool.The first use of the word "psychedelic" in a rock music context is usually credited to The Deep, and the earliest known appearance of this usage of the word in print is in the title of their 1966 album The Psychedelic Moods of the Deep.The folk music scene also experimented with outside influences.In the tradition of Jazz and blues music many musicians began to take drugs, and include drug references in their songs.Psychedelia began in the United States' folk scene, with New York City's Holy Modal Rounders introducing the term in 1964.Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions from San Francisco were influenced by The Byrds and the Beatles to switch from acoustic music to electric music in 1965.The Dead played to light shows at the Pranksters' "Acid Tests", with pulsing images being projected over the group in what became a widespread practice.The Ethix started to experiment with electronics, tape transformations and wild improvisations, and as their music transformed, The Ethix transformed into Fifty Foot Hose.Jefferson Airplane Takes Off was the first album to come out of San Francisco during this era and sold well enough to bring the city's music scene to the attention of the record industry.Jefferson Airplane gained greater fame the following year with two of the earliest psychedelic hit singles: "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love".New York City produced its share of psychedelic bands such as the Blues Magoos, the Blues Project, Bermuda Triangle Band, and the Third Bardo.The Detroit area gave rise to psychedelic bands the Amboy Dukes and the SRC.Texas (particularly Austin) is often cited for its contributions to psychedelic music, being home to the groundbreaking 13th Floor Elevators, as well as Bubble Puppy, Shiva's Headband, Golden Dawn, the Zakary Thaks, Red Krayola, and many others.The Byrds went psychedelic in 1966 with "Eight Miles High", a song with odd vocal harmonies and an extended guitar solo that guitarist Roger McGuinn states was inspired by Raga and John Coltrane.When nobody at Columbia wanted to produce the band, they were signed by Elektra Records, who released their debut album in January 1967.Brian Wilson's increased drug usage and burgeoning mental illness.Wilson's magnum opus SMiLE (which was never finished, and was remade by Wilson with a new band in 2004) also shows this growing experimentation."Time Has Come Today" by The Chambers Brothers, before falling out of favor.B, created music influenced by psychedelic rock.This is especially evident on their breakthrough second album, Dance to the Music.Britain in the 1960s
In the United Kingdom, Donovan, going electric like Dylan, had a 1966 hit with "Sunshine Superman," one of the very first overtly psychedelic pop records.The Jimi Hendrix Experience with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell brought Jimi Hendrix fame in Britain, and later in his American homeland.Other artists joining the psychedelic revolution included Eric Burdon (previously of The Animals), and The Small Faces.The Who's Sell Out had two early psychedelic tracks, "I Can See for Miles" and "Armenia City in the Sky", but the album concept was out of tune with the times, and it was their later album Tommy that established them in the scene.Altamont in 1969 ended the dream on a downer.The album also had psychedelic elements in "Love You To", "She Said, She Said", and "Doctor Robert"."Strawberry Fields Forever" was the first song recorded intended for an album about nostalgia and childhood in 1966."Strawberry Fields Forever" induced a "magic carpet" of sound, with its unusual chord progression, a kaleidoscope of instruments and effects, and an unusual edit of two completely separate versions (the latter of which had to be slowed down to fit.From the title track to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" to "Within You Without You" to "A Day in the Life", the album showcased a wildly colourful palette, with unpredictable changes in rhythm, texture, melody, and tone colour that few groups could equal.Many rock critics consider the 1960's era Bee Gees as their classic period.Another limiting factor was that some of the best Australasian psychedelic records were pressed in tiny quantities (sometimes as few as 250 copies) and very few ever gained significant overseas distribution (if any).As a result, releases from these countries were for many years known only to a small coterie of international music fans and, not surprisingly, their rarity means that they now command high prices on the collector's market.Australia and New Zealand has gradually gained wider recognition, culminating in the inclusion of a number of seminal tracks on the second volume of the famous Nuggets series, originated by US musician Lenny Kaye.One major factor was that the EMI company had long enjoyed the dominant market position in both countries.Another influence was that many Australasian bands like The Easybeats and The Twilights included members who were recent immigrants from the UK.As a result, considering the distance and travel times involved, local Australian and New Zealand bands were kept remarkably up to date with the latest trends.The Bee Gees (then living in Australia) are known to have recorded cover versions of Beatles songs like "Rain" and Paperback Writer" within days of the singles being released in the UK.The Brazilian psychedelic rock group Os Mutantes formed in 1966, and although little known outside Brazil at the time, their remarkable recordings have since accrued a substantial international cult following.In the late 1960's a wave of Mexican rock heavily influenced by psychedelic and funk rock emerged in several northern border Mexican states, in particular in Tijuana, Baja California.Among the most recognized bands from this "Chicano Wave" (Onda Chicana in Spanish), there is one in particular that was recognized by their originality.The band Love Army derived from the Tijuana Five and was formed by Alberto Isiordia (aka El Pajaro), Salvador Martinez, Jaime Valle, Fernando Vahaux, Ernesto Hernandez, Mario Rojas and Enrique Sida.From 1967 to 1973, between the ending of the government of President Frei Montalva and the all the government of President Allende (creator of a socialist dream in the contry that end up with the dead of Allende by the military forces with help of the CIA and some wealthy chileans) a cultural movement was born from a few Chilean bands that emerged playing a unique fusion of folkloric music with heavy psychedelic influences.Almendra was fronted by Luis Alberto Spinetta who penned most of the band's songs on their two albums released in 1969 and 1970, drawing on a number of influences including Blues, Jazz and Folk.The title song Maxoom is another early psychedelic song.The band followed this release with Child of the Novelty in 1974.Many bands in England and America followed suit.Eric Clapton cites Music from Big Pink as a primary reason for quitting Cream, for example.The musicians and bands that continued to embrace psychedelia often went on to create progressive rock in the 1970s, which maintained the love of unusual sounds and extended solos but added jazz and classical influences to the mix.Psychedelic rock, with its distorted guitar sound and adventurous compositions can be seen as an important bridge between heavy metal and earlier blues oriented rock.Paisley Underground acknowledged a debt to the Byrds, incorporating psychedelia into a folksy, jangle pop sound.The Bangles were arguably the most successful band to emerge from this movement; amongst others involved were Green on Red, the Three O'Clock, The Dream Syndicate, Milwaukee's Plasticland, The Secret Syde, The Inn and Lord John.Although not directly involved in the movement, Australian band The Church (who formed in 1980) were also heavily influenced by psychedelia and their early recordings, had much in common with their Paisely Underground contemporaries.New Wave bands, including The Soft Boys and the solo albums of their singer Robyn Hitchcock, and The Teardrop Explodes and its vocalist Julian Cope.Barrett and Love, before reorienting itself towards rave.Released under the pseudonym The Dukes of Stratosphear and produced by former Abbey Road engineer John Leckie, the EP 25 O'Clock (1985) and the LP Psonic Psunspot (1987) employ all of the classic songwriting and production features of the style.Around the World in a Day."Tattva" and "Govinda," both sung in Sanskrit, and the albums "K" and "Peasants, Pigs and Astronauts."The Stooges, MC5, The Velvet Underground, Red Krayola, and The 13th Floor Elevators.Primal Scream have psychedelic themes throughout much of their earlier music.British bands Anomie and My Bloody Valentine play British garage psychedelia, citing Pink Floyd and Hawkwind as musical influences.Aphex Twin or Orbital, had it been written between 1966 and 1990, would have fallen within the category of psychedelia.Stoner rock acts like Kyuss, Nebula and their successors also perform explicitly psychedelic music.Bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins and Tool fused psychedelic rock sounds with heavy metal, becoming highly successful alternative rock acts in the 1990s.The Mops and most notably The Jacks.The 1970s introduced the element of sonic experimentation and noise manipulation into the realm of Japanese psychedelic rock, with groups like Les Rallizes Denudes, Fushitsusha, Kousokuya, and the Faust inspired Magical Power Mako emerging from the Japanese underground.French folk, and concrete bursts of noise that run through music of Boredoms.Other endeavours in experimental rock with psychedelic influences include Neutral Milk Hotel, Animal Collective, the Burnside Shattered, The Apples in Stereo, Of Montreal, and The Olivia Tremor Control: all members of the Elephant 6 musical collective, which is headquartered in Athens, Georgia.Oasis' fourth studio album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is noted for its heavy psychedelic influences.Spinning off from the Beachwood Sparks is a band called the Tyde.London electronica movement in the late 1990s, giving birth to bands like desert rockers MJ13, where the British interpretation of the Kyuss influx showed more psychedelic sensibilities than the American Stoner rock sound was originally attributed to.This page was last modified 01:18, 10

suggestions.Psychedelic rock evolved in the 60s as an offshoot of the rock and roll movement combining elements of rock, reggae, and other diverse elements.Involving the use of mind altering drugs like cannabis, mescaline, psilocybin, and especially LSD, psychedelic rock broke with traditional rock and laid the roots for psychedelic metal and experimental rock genres.The Who and The Beatles picked up on the psychedelic movement with tunes like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Sgt.Cream and Pink Floyd embraced psychedelic music fully becoming two of the first truly psychedelic bands.Psychedelia could also be interpreted as simply a "surreal and dreamy feeling" in a particular song, instead of a specific genre with rules to follow.This early track, written and recorded by Country Joe and the rest of his band in 1966, was obviously an upbeat, hasty, and offensive song of protest in a raw jug band influenced style.Robitussin, as is often mistaken).Other bands, like Kwisp, create a new unique psychedelic sound.Much like Pink Floyd, they have over the top psychedelic shows, but with a darker edge.Live performances are altered dramatically by large sections of improvisation.They collated all the bands they could find who they considered were psychedelic and compiled the first of the legendary Psychedelica series which featured Electric Prunes, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Silver Apples, The Telescopes, The High Dials, Floorian, The Hiss, The Lovetones, The Black Angels, The Dolly Rocker Movement and about 30 others.The double compilation CD was praised by Billboard and Uncut as the new leaders in the genre.The shoegaze genre also bordered on the psychedelic with its drones and ethereal dreamlike qualities and odd feedback.Bands such as The Electric Mainline , The Voices and The December Sound took on this form and went on to be lauded by the NME and The Times.By the time the second Northern Star compilation "Psychedelica Volume 2" came out, the genre had become prominent in the mainstream press and was finally taken seriously as a major music movement.Bibliography

Ringo's drums and cymbals.Instruments
Another key feature of psychedelic music was its relatively heavy reliance on keyboards, especially electronic keyboards.Although the harpsichord had been out of fashion in classical music for more than two
centuries, its distinctive 'tinkly' sound appealed to musicians and producers of psychedelic rock and session musicians like
Nicky Hopkins were often called on to play one on recordings of this period.The Baldwin
Combo Harpsichord was one of these early Electric piano instruments.Another key psychedelic recording, which uses
phasing and which combines compressed piano, Hammond organ and Mellotron, is the hit 1968 version of Bob Dylan's "This Wheel's on Fire" recorded by
Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll and Trinity.British author Lewis Carroll were an especially strong influence on the
genre."Living In A Child's Dream" by Australian band The Masters Apprentices.The voices of children were also used on many recordings such as "Hole
In My Shoe" by Traffic, which features a spoken interlude recited by a young girl.An alternate approach can be heard on songs
like "The Gnome" by Pink Floyd, whose main songwriter
Syd Barrett was greatly influenced by authors like Kenneth
Grahame (a chapter of whose book The Wind in the Willows provided Barrett
with the title of Pink Floyd's first album, The Piper at the Gates of
Dawn), Lewis Carroll and J.Other songs feature lyrics which meditate on broad existential themes, while other express criticisms or even a rejection of

Psychedelic rock was heavily affected by the contemporary interest in the music of India, particularly the raga form and the classical instrumental styles of Hindustani music,
which was popularised in the west by The Beatles and Ravi Shankar.The folk music scene also experimented with outside influences.In the tradition of Jazz and blues music many musicians began to take drugs, and include drug references
in their songs.In 1965 Bob Dylan put electric rock instrumentation in his album
Bringing It All Back Home, and The
Byrds had a hit with Mr.Mother
McCree's Uptown Jug Champions from San Francisco were influenced by the Byrds and the
Beatles to switch from acoustic music to electric music in 1965.Merry Pranksters in November 1965, and
changed their name to the Grateful Dead the following month.The Dead played to
light shows at the Pranksters' "Acid Tests", with pulsing
images being projected over the group in what became a widespread practice.The festival was held at the Fillmore Auditorium and was attended by some 10,000 people.The Ethix started to experiment with electronics, tape transformations and wild improvisations, and as their music
transformed, The Ethix transformed into Fifty Foot Hose.Throughout 1966, the San Francisco music scene flourished, as the Fillmore, the Avalon
Ballroom, and the Matrix club began booking local rock bands on a nightly
basis.Jefferson Airplane gained greater fame the following year with two of the earliest psychedelic hit singles: "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to
Love".Los Angeles boasted dozens of
important psychedelic bands, including the Byrds, Iron Butterfly, Love, Spirit, the United States of America, Jimi Hendrix,
and the Doors, among others.New York City produced its share of psychedelic bands such as the
Blues Magoos, the Blues Project, Bermuda Triangle Band, and the Third Bardo.In 1965, members of Rick And The Ravens and The
Psychedelic Rangers came together with Jim Morrison to form The Doors.When nobody at Columbia wanted to produce the band, they
were signed by Elektra Records, who released their debut album in January 1967.Brian Wilson's increased drug usage and burgeoning mental illness.In 1966, responding to
the Beatles' innovations, they produced their album Pet Sounds and later that year had
a massive hit with the psychedelic single "Good Vibrations"."Time Has Come Today" by

In the United Kingdom, Donovan, going electric
like Dylan, had a 1966 hit with "Sunshine Superman," one of the very first overtly

light shows since 1965 in the underground
culture scene, and in 1966 the Soft Machine formed.The Jimi Hendrix Experience with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell brought Jimi Hendrix fame in Britain, and later in his American homeland.In the folk scene itself blues, drugs, jazz and eastern influences had featured since 1964 in the work of
Davy Graham and Bert Jansch, and in 1967 the
Incredible String Band's The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion developed this into full
blown psychedelia.Other artists joining the psychedelic revolution included Eric Burdon (previously of The Animals), and The Small Faces.The Who's Sell

City in the Sky", but the album concept was out of tune with the times, and it was their later album Tommy that established them in the scene.The Rolling Stones had drug references and psychedelic hints in their 1966 singles

to a more raw style in 1968, albeit a more earthy and complex version than had been heard before
Rubber Soul.Around the same time The Beatles were recording Sgt."Horizontal", "Idea" and the classic double album
"Odessa".Many rock critics consider the 1960's era Bee Gees as their classic period.Australia
Australia and New Zealand have long been overlooked in
the history of popular music, especially in relation to psychedelic rock and pop, although it was a fertile region for recordings
in this genre.The Easybeats, who scored an international hit in late 1966 with their classic single "Friday On My Mind"
(which was in fact recorded in the UK).Another limiting factor was that some of the best Australasian psychedelic records were pressed in tiny quantities (sometimes
as few as 250 copies) and very few ever gained significant overseas distribution (if any).Another influence was that many Australasian bands like
The Easybeats and The Twilights included
members who were recent immigrants from the UK.The Easybeats went to London in late 1966, and
around the same time Australia's other leading pop band The Twilights won the
inaugural Hoadleys National Battle of the Sounds competition, enabling them to also travel to the
UK.The Brazilian psychedelic rock group Os Mutantes formed in 1966, and

to enjoy a long and successful career in Argentina."Maxoom" in the psychedelic genre.Many bands in England and America followed suit.Eric
Clapton cites Music from Big Pink as a primary reason for quitting
Cream, for example.The musicians and bands that continued to embrace psychedelia often went on to create progressive rock in the 1970s, which maintained the love of unusual sounds and extended solos but added
jazz and classical influences to the mix.Alongside the progressive stream, space rock bands such as Hawkwind, Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come and Gong maintained a more explicitly psychedelic course into the 1970s.Phish, a
