Electric Moon - Tomorrow Never Knows
This song was pretty much a psychedelic work out in its original form. If anything, Electric Moon brings some dreamy space rock to the mix. This is a great rendition. |
|
Sugar Candy Mountain – Rain
A fairly mainstream take on the cut, there are still some solid psychedelic elements. This one is entertaining, even if rather closer to the original. |
|
The Vacant Lots – Julia
This has more of a trippy psychedelia meets space rock feeling to it. It’s a good number. |
|
The Blank Tapes - The Word
A fairly mainstream piece, this has some rockabilly in the mix. It’s less psychedelic than a lot of the stuff here. Still, it’s a good tune. |
|
The Ruby Suns - Martha My Dear
I like this one a lot. It’s almost a minimalist approach. There is a real electronic vibe here, too. This is more like experimental prog turned psychedelia as far as I’m concerned. It’s a nice bit of variety. |
|
The KVB – Taxman
There is some trippy, dreamy psychedelia on display here. It’s great stuff. |
|
The Underground Youth - Come Together
A mostly minimalist approach, this has a real tripped out vibe to it. It gets some piano at the front at the end. While it’s hard to beat the heavy energy of this original, this is largely a completely different approach that works well. |
|
Fantasmes - Love You To
To me, this feels like it could really be The Beatles. It’s got a great psychedelic rock sound. Mind you, there is some great jamming on this. |
|
Quilt - Cry Baby Cry
More of a bouncy kind of psychedelic pop, this also feels quite a bit like The Beatles actually doing the song. It’s good, but not one of the standouts for me. I do like the freak out at the end, though. |
|
The Lucid Dream - And I Love Her
While I like the echoey psychedelic arrangement on this, the vocals don’t work as well for me. Still, it’s a pretty cool version. |
|
Kikagaku Moyo - Helter Skelter
Sure, I guess you could call this psychedelic. Personally, I’d say it’s more like noisy, garagey punk rock. I really don’t like this one. It just feels so amateurish. Your mileage may vary. |
|
Strangers Family Band - Sun King
This is very twisted and bizarre. Although it’s incredibly strange, it somehow works really well. There is a real drugged out space rock element to this. It also has a lot in common with Rock in Opposition.
