VA - Waterpipes & Dykes, Dutch Psychedelic Underground 1966-1972 [2002]

“Waterpipes & Dykes: Dutch Psychedelic Underground 1966-1972” is an intriguing compilation that explores the often-underappreciated realm of Dutch psychedelic rock. Released in 2002, this album curates a diverse selection of tracks from various artists who were integral to the Netherlands’ underground music scene during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The compilation features a blend of both renowned and lesser-known bands, each adding their distinct flavor to the psychedelic soundscape. For instance, “Musique Barbare” by Karel Appel and “Death” by The Maskers exemplify the experimental and avant-garde spirit of the time. On the other hand, tracks like “Afterbirth Of A Dream” by Met & Zonder and “Lost” by N.V. Groep 65 showcase the more melodic and introspective aspects of Dutch psychedelia.

What makes this album particularly noteworthy is its ability to encapsulate an era when music served as a powerful medium for artistic expression and social commentary. It stands as both a historical record and a testament to the creativity and innovation that characterized the Dutch psychedelic underground scene.

“Waterpipes & Dykes” is essential listening for anyone interested in the psychedelic genre or the history of European rock music. It provides a unique window into a vibrant and influential period in music history, making it a valuable addition to any music lover’s collection. (B)
