Porcupine Tree - Transmission IV-Moonloop EP (2006)
Recorded at the Doghouse, Henley on 28th June 1994 by Markus Butler.
Additional overdubs and mix at No Man's Land on 30th June 1994 by Steven Wilson.
Ozric Tentacles - Jurassic Swift (1993)
The Ozrics are a truly curious bunch in that they have this unerring
tendency and uncanny ability to make great scads of progressive and
space music that has true heart. There are very few times when one can
connect fabulous technical skill with such a strongly emotional core,
and never mind the mystical triggers. - Steven McDonald, Allmusic.

Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die (1970)
John Barleycorn Must Die is the fourth album by the English rock band Traffic, released in 1970, on Island Records in the United Kingdom, and United Artists in the United States, catalogue UAS 5504. It peaked at number 5 on the Billboard 200, their highest charting album in the US, and has been certified a gold record by the RIAA.
Mighty Baby - Mighty Baby (1969)
The beauty of the original Mighty Baby album tracks is that they're psychedelia with a solid beat, none of that noodle-rock that drugged-up Brits usually engaged in.
Kak - Kak (1969)
None of the plodding riffs, histrionic vocal stylings, or blues
posturing that plagued many similar groups of this era mar this
collection of melodic, tasteful progressive hard rock (as well as some
mellower country-rock songs).
Byrds, The - The Notorious Byrd Brothers (1968)
The Notorious Byrd Brothers is the fifth album by the American rock band The Byrds and was released in January 1968 on Columbia Records. Musically, the album represents the pinnacle of The Byrds' psychedelic experimentation, with the band blending together elements of folk rock, psychedelic rock, country music, electronic music, baroque pop and jazz on many of the songs.
Country Joe And The Fish - Electric Music For The Mind And Body (1967)
Electric Music for the Mind and Body is Country Joe and the Fish's debut album. Released in May 1967 on the Vanguard label, it was one of the first psychedelic albums to come out of San Francisco.
The album was recorded during the first week of February 1967 at Sierra
Sound Laboratories, Berkeley, California, by Robert DeSouza, with
production by Samuel Charters. It was released on May 11, 1967, on the Vanguard label.

Agitation Free - 2nd (1973)
Agitation Free's 2nd
stands as one of Germany's finest instrumental rock albums of the 1970s
and a classic for fans of progressive rock and Krautrock. Despite the
fact that the group had problems keeping its cohesion at the time, these
troubles never affect the music. 2nd
presented a daring blend of Krautrock-type extended jams, laid-back
attitude, and experimentation. The music remains very psychedelic in
nature, more early Can than Faust.
Sweet Smoke - Just A Poke (1970)
H.P. Lovecraft - H.P. Lovecraft II (1968)
H. P. Lovecraft II is the second album by the American psychedelic rock band H. P. Lovecraft and was released in September 1968 on Philips Records. As with their debut LP, the album again saw the band blending psychedelic and folk rock influences, albeit with a greater emphasis on psychedelia than on their previous album release. H. P. Lovecraft II failed to sell in sufficient quantities to reach the Billboard Top LPs chart or the UK Albums Chart, despite the band being a popular act on the U.S. psychedelic concert circuit. Legend has it that the album was the first major label release to have been recorded by musicians who were all under the influence of LSD.
The Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incence And Peppermints (1967)
Incense and Peppermints is the first album by psychedelic rock band Strawberry Alarm Clock. Released in late 1967, the album reached No. 11 on the Billboard 200 album charts and included the band's No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit "Incense and Peppermints". In addition to the six official members of the band, the album also featured the flute playing of Steve Bartek, who co-wrote four songs on the album with bass player George Bunnell
