Tacoma, thus being next to the Sonics on the list. The Jamaican group, to my knowledge, was pretty much a '70s phenomena.

Kevin Ayers is awesome. Listen to "Joy of a Toy"
The Creation are great. Incredible String Band. Bert Jansch. Kaleidoscope and their album "Tangerine Dream"
The Millenium, Laura Nyro, Tyrannosaurus Rex, etc etc etc.

Speaking of Tangerine Dream, the German band by that name did a great album in 1969 called Electronic Meditation. Despite the title and their later descent into near new age synthiness, this is an album full, believe it or not, of distorted noisy guitar electronics. Plus some cool psychy synths too, but that's more to be expected.

Indeed, Electronic Meditation is utterly, utterly ace. I don't know if later Tangerine Dream decended into "near new age synthiness" as much as became the definition of crap new age synthiness.

[A Thousand Threads]

Damn right, Electonic Meditation is unbelievable good, one of my recent favourites. I can´t get into their later stuff, though

back to topic :
The Sonics
Bruce Haack
Serge Gainsbourg (& Jane Birkin)
Can (for Monster Movie & Delay 1968)
Embryo (i think they released some stuff in the sixtees)

and nobody mention Cromagnon yet,
their s/t is one of the best records my ears have heard.

 

[Iain]

Yes, great and really odd record. Ghost covered Caledonia on their latest record. I haven't heard it yet, should be interesting.

[RdTv]

Dead Air's first list was quite thorough and I was going to just mention a few more:
Blue Flame
The Free Design

[Signpost]

The Godz
Pearls Before Swine
AMM
John Fahey
The Monks
Amon Duul
Cromagnon
Robbie Basho
La Monte Young

Anyone got links to White Noise MP3s online? I'm quite anxious to actually hear them as they sound like the perfect group for my tastes from all I've read, but searching for the name "White Noise" brings up pages and pages of stuff that's not them.

A couple of links, but no mp3's as of yet. A while back, I found a blog with downloads, but can't remember where...

There's a little that might interest you on here from when they had Derbyshire in their ranks.

Not White Noise themselves,though.

[lungfish]

love that album.
scary as fuck.

here's a great thread from the atease messageboard
(although probably only the last three pages or so of record links are still unexpired)

sunshine, bubblegum, baroque & psychedelia, 60's/70's pop, obscure and familiar

[o o o]

not mentioned yet: the silver apples

(also caetano veloso, gilberto gil, gal costa... i think os mutantes were the only tropicalia artists mentioned so far... or are they all usual suspects?)

[porkmarras]

Amongst the many i can't list now i'd like to mention The United States Of America.

 

[Savage Clone]

USA were fantastic. Their subsequent incarnation as Joseph Byrd and the Field Hippies wasn't too shabby either.

West Coast 60s psychedelia isn't my favorite stuff of this era, but USA were amazing.
Another criminally underrated group in that scene is the mighty Kak, whose LP has been reissued a few times.

[jon boy]

i have been listening to the creation which has been rocking me out quite a bit.

[Savage Clone]

They did "Making Time," right?
Total rocking classic.

[Iain]

Oooh, Country Joe and the Fish. Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die rag at least. Not ultra-obscure or anything but no one has mentioned them.

[jon boy]

yes from the rushmore soundtrack. it sounds so much like the who its painful.
