A bunch of Elephant Six bands, I'd say. Black Foliage Animation Music and Dusk at Cubist Castle by Olivia Tremor Control. Perhaps the last few Of Montreal Albums. Also possibly some Flaming Lips stuff.

cool, i know those. i'm more interested in stuff from the 60s and 70s stuff rather than revisionist things (much as i like E6, their stance can be as annoying as it is interesting). I'm particularly looking for these underrated oddities from the 60s (like the Tokens album for example) which, given a bit more press could have ended up as another Pet Sounds.

I thought of another couple of ones:

Tiny Tim - God Bless Tiny Tim
Van Dyke Parks - Song Cycle

I live for this shit really.

There've been a lot of threads on this actually.

I'll say some of the other ones:

Forrest
July
Strawberry Alarm Clock

Ah, I see. Perhaps some of Nilsson's stuff? Although I'm not intimately familiar with it.

― St3ve Go1db3rg, Sunday, 22 April 2007 22:09 (nineteen years ago)

any specific albums, dylan?

Kaleidoscope: Tangerine Dream
Billy Nichols: Would You Believe

The two Nirvana albums (Nirvana UK) were also great, but probably lack most of the wackiness you are looking for.

So many albums listed on that 1001 interstellar psychedelic recordings thread. I mean, most psychedelic music has wacky shit going on.

Of Montreal - Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies: A Variety of Whimsical Verse

OM at their best in my opinion.

p.s. missed that second post saying you didnt want e6ish stuff

― Bus Driver Stu, Monday, 23 April 2007 03:29 (nineteen years ago)

Small Faces - The "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" album, aside from being a great collection of songs, has some wild spoken word stuff by Stanley Unwin.

i love the first two traffic albums.

― Frogman Henry, Monday, 23 April 2007 11:20 (nineteen years ago)

Not sure if I'd classify the second Traffic album as very psych though. Maybe slightly, but not quite like the debut (and not as good either)

Now of course, like all real life stories,
this also begins, once upon a ti-to.
And Happiness Stan, whose life evolved
near a femerald coloured dreamy most,
had his pure existance and his being
in the deep joy and the multi colour of the rainbold.
Oh yes. His home was a victoria on a sharowbold,
and this is the fourwheelful of sst sst out the backgrove.
Now as Eaved and his deep approachey,
his eye on the moon, all time some time
deep joy of a full moon scintilating dangly
in the heavenly bode, but now only half.
Oh blow your cool man, he dood this deep thoughcus.
What is the folly of this half disappearing of the moony most.
And as the light did a scintilading change through timely most,
stopped still, and he did a deep thoughcus.
What ! Absloutely smashing flaked he was.
So gathering all behind in the hintermost, he ploddy ploddy forward
into the deep fundemold of the complicading forry to sort this one out matey.
We're at Mandiforcus, we're at Mand...... oh dear.

I thought there would have been a thread for this too, but if there is, I can't seem to find it.

50 Foot Hose have got to be one of the most typical examples of this, for me. And the United States of America?

The Daughters of Albion is a record I regularly push on people, and it's right in this demographic. Long and accurate review is here:

http://www.lysergia.com/LamaReviews/reviews6.htm#DAUGHTERS%20OF%20ALBION

Probably one of the better 60's pop-psych albums not yet on CD (unless it's finally come out when I wasn't looking). Very easy to find the vinyl without spending too much, and it's also occasionally on Slsk.

Head Shop
Millennium
Los Speakers - En El Maravilloso Mundo de Ingeson
Dr. Strangely Strange
Tea and Symphony - An Asylum for the Musically Insane
Módulo 1000 ('71 but totally "like this")

United States of America
Faust (the first one)

Sagittarius

― zeus, Monday, 23 April 2007 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

west coast pop art experimental band

― cw, Monday, 23 April 2007 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

Tomorrow - S/T
Zodiac - Cosmic Sounds (12 freaky psych songs, one for each zodiac sign)

USA is great suggestion above, as is Sagittarius. If you enjoy the Sagittarius definitely try the Honeybus collection.

And don't forget about early BeeGees, that 6 disc Rhino set is excellent.

thanks for the Daughters of Albion namedrop, unfamiliar with them.

Andwella's Dream - Love and Poetry

― Mr. Hal Jam, Monday, 23 April 2007 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

Not exactly psychedelic but all this Sinatra talk made me pick up Watertown and I'd lump that in this list of anomalies. It's very good!
