Halleluwah, especially.

Don't forget MAGMA! Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh!

If you want psychedelic music though, do the following:

(a) Go to allmusic
(b) Usenet - alt.binaries.music.mp3.1960s

This is an extremely active group where people post lots of obscure, out of print psychedelia - by bands from the period who were obscure even back then. Some of what is posted is completely out of print, and while a lot of it is tired, some of is it is shockingly good - to uncommercial even for the flower power generation.

Someone mentioned the 13th Floor Elevators - definitely. Try their buddies, The Golden Dawn, also of the 60s psych garage scene.

If you want new music - that is, obscure stuff by bands you've never even heard of, alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.1960s is a great place to snarf some great stuff.

The group "Spirit" from the 60's is one of my favorite psyrock bands, Randy California (guitarist) was even a part of Jimi Hendrix's early group "Jimmy James and the Blue Flames" check out self titled "Spirit" and "12 dreams of Dr. Sardonicus" Spirit (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

yeah i just started usin lastfm a few weeks ago its great, i wish i found out about when i first got slsk though. ide probably have 10x more music lol.

you like Bardo Pond??

check out some Maars Volta! man

If you want a great acid trip of a an album, download Brainticket's Cottonwoodhill.
It's semi-krautrock, but beautiful riffs, and the last three tracks slowly build upon each other with this female voice describing the most intense acid trip.
It's a very good album, and very nice to smoke to.
Uplifting too.
Another good (but not nearly as good as cottonwoodhill) album by brainticket is Psychonaut.
old stuff
bardo pond...

Listen to some psychedelic trance. I would suggest Opium Nuts - Back to 2004. Great, great set. When I blaze up and listen to that, I almost feel like I've been sucked into the world of the music.

i would start with The Grateful Dead, i started listening about 2 years ago and now i have collected over 3500 songs from them. By far the greatest american rock band. If you looking for some new music check out Umphrey's Mcgee, they do some really trippy shit in their jams. Disco Biscuits are also a new band, that play trippy live music that sounds like techno when they get into their jams. You cannot forget Phish, those dudes took a lot of acid. Phish is a bit of an aquired taste, i would sugest smoking a fat one before hand (its always better that way.) You know when Eric Clapton asked how it felt to be the greatest guitar player alive, he said, ask Trey (from phish.)

finally someone mentions the disco biscuits lol there actually my favorite band they arent really new tho theve been around since around 95-96

havent heard much disco biscuts i like, just "Song for the Sky" pretty good song though...

the parts in their songs when they are singing usually suck but they always produce some intense jams. Also look for Santa Cruz Hemp All Stars its a few guys from sound tribe sector 9, the keyboardist from disco biscuits and some other random dudes and its really tight, theyve only played together a few times and its just straight up improv they dont have songs. biscoradio.com is a sweet site its streaming radio and you vote for what concert you want next but ints not just tdb they also have some concerts with simon posford, younger brother, future rock, just a bunch of random shows
