VA - Psychedelic Obscurities (A Butterboy Compilation)
 CD1+CD2+CD3 

Psychedelic music became popular throughout the world in the late '60's and '70's (and beyond).  Most of the greatest music I listen to came from the UK, and USA. It was a very fertile period of music fueled by psychedelic drugs and new attitudes to life in general. It was a backlash that became a great time of discovery and experimentation as people began to challenge antiquated beliefs and structures, and was reflected in the music of the times. The rules had changed. There are many great bands that were regarded as Psychedelic and they still sound great today.

With this compilation the focus is on the unsung heroes of underground psychedelic rock.  The bands who have fallen under the radar of obscurity. As a follower of Psychedelic bands you had to hear them on albums as radio rarely played them.  Some artists listed here may be familiar to you by name but their psychedelic output is almost unknown and therefore considered obscure. There are also several tracks included here that are from recent times but have a 60’s-70’s feel showing how impactful psychedelic music has been.

There are many wonderful compilations available which collect psychedelic obscurities but I hope this set offers something a little different. Here are 75 psychedelic recordings that have unjustifiably surrendered to obscurity.

  1. It's strange, Joe Byrd evokes sounds that we would later find in Stereolab. Really exciting. And Morgen is a f***g band. I'll listen to the rest. TBBAU (Thanks BB as usual).
