BRITISH PSYCHEDELIC ROCK

VA - Psychedelic Rock Is In My Head  Volume 2 (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CD's) 

Psychedelic rock is a diverse style of rock music inspired, influenced, or representative of psychedelic culture, which is centred around perception-altering hallucinogenic drugs. Psychedelic rock is intended to replicate and enhance the mind-altering experiences of psychedelic drugs, most notably LSD. Many psychedelic groups differ in style, and the label is often used indiscriminately. Originating in the mid-1960s among British and American musicians, the sounds of psychedelic rock invokes three core effects of LSD: depersonalization, dechronicization, and dynamization; all of which detach the user from reality. Musically, the effects may be represented via novelty studio tricks, electronic or non-Western instrumentation, disjunctive song structures, and extended instrumental segments.  (Wikipedia)

Although they shared some similar aesthetics and production techniques, British Psychedelia was quite different than its American counterpart. In general, British psychedelia was either more whimsical or artily experimental than its American counterpart, plus it tended to work within the pop song structure. This is not a hard-and-fast rule, however. No matter how many concise, pop singles they released, Pink Floyd still stretched out dramatically on stage, taking songs into uncharted territory with each performance. However, these general rules do more or less apply, particularly to the studio recordings of British psychedelic acts. (AllMusic)

This set of tracks was inspired by the Record Collectors publication of the top 100 psych albums list as they appear in the book "Record Collector 100 Greatest Psychedelic Records - High Times and Strange Tales from rock's most mind-blowing era". The list only includes releases of LPs and singles that are from British  artists. They are presented here in chronological order from 1966 to 1970. (Note: Jimi Hendrix is included due to his UK recordings and having a UK backing band). Additionally, where a whole album has been named in the list then I have picked a track for this compilation that best fits and/or represents a true psychedelic experience.

Some time ago I posted VA - Psychedelic Rock Is In My Head (A Butterboy Compilation) which has proven to be one of the most downloaded set of tracks from my compilation series.  I hope Volume 2 is just as pleasing to your ears. Please enjoy these British Psychedelic tracks.
