See also: Psychedelic Pop Psychedelic Rock, the Paisley Underground, and Space Rock revival late 1980s, Baggy / Madchester Scenes, which combined a surreal sonic environment with the upbeat rhythms of Alternative Dance and a drug-fueled rave culture, and was a major influence on Primal Scream's landmark 1991 album Screamadelica. The 1990s like Spiritualized and The Verve with a more purely neo-psychedelic sound that focused on studio effects and grandiose arrangements. the Elephant 6 collective and The Brian Jonestown Massacre's 1960s pop worship to Mercury Rev and The Flaming Lips, whose psychedelic sound was initially noisier and less refined, before shifting to more orchestrated and experimental styles in line with their British counterparts. 2000s, with greater use of Electronic instruments, synthesizers, and effects by artists like Broadcast and, later in the decade, Fuck Buttons. At the same time, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and Hypnagogic Pop, 2010s artists like MGMT and Tame Impala found major success. Chillwave, the dreamy, reverb-laden sound of Cloud Rap. | a Neo-Psychedelia |

Dasha texted me:
any 60's music suggestions?
like psychedelic 60's not the other side...
------
Me:
Yes!
Let me find my list and pick out the best albums.
It's important to listen to the complete albums because most hippie groups didn't have 'singles' or 'hits', and because you can get a real feeling of their vibe at that time in their history - a snapshot of their world.
Yes! Donovan is on the list!
Pink Floyd wasn't psychedelic once Syd Barrett lost his mind and quietly left the band. Their next album was Dark Side of the Moon - a MASSIVE success that still sells well to this day. I know people who 'dosed' while listening to it, but that doesn't make it psychedelic.
When Syd Barrett was in the band, he took them in the direction of soundscapes made from guitar effects available at the time.
Freeform, echo, fuzz, feedback pieces that lasted 25 minutes.
I never listened to an entire piece, but I probably would have if I were tripping. But I never dropped acid.
-----
Dasha:
if you listen to the album "atom heart mother" it's pretty psychedelic. the last song is called "alan's psychedelic breakfast".
----
Me:
Correct. Syd was still in the band and they toned down the 'playing with effects' and put together some organized stuff. I never had that album, so I can't talk about it too much.
My first PF album was "Animals". I listened to it every night, high, and headphones - that album has a lot of panning of certain sounds from left to right & vice versa - that's what panning is.
Zeppelin, or I should say Jimmy Page - writer, guitarist, & Producer! - liked panning in certain places.
Panning is best appreciated with headphones.
