Kaleidoscope Eyes: Psychedelic Music from the 1960s to the 1990s

First published in Great Britain in 1996 by Fourth Estate Limited.

“It started in the 1960s as an attempt to recreate in music the hallucinogenic experience of taking LSD; but more than just an aural acid trip, psychedelic music has evolved into a way of creating ‘the cinematic music of the imagination’. From the early experiments of the Beatles Revolver to the ambient meanderings of The Orb, from the hypnotic drone of The Velvet Underground to the disorienting swirl of the 90s guitar band My Bloody Valentine, psychedelic music is both cerebral and transcendent. Based on first hand interviews and research, focusing on cult heroes such as Brian Eno and Julian Cope as much as rock legends like The Beach Boys & Pink Floyd, Kaleidoscope Eyes is authoritative, provocative & totally original.”

A Select Psychedelic Rock Discography

“In listing releases, critical judgement has been applied for artists who have worked in a variety of styles, and only those albums that can be considered psychedelic rock or those that included important psychedelic rock songs have been listed. In other cases, including many of the more obscure or less significant artists, only their most noteworthy efforts are included: in other words, the ones that are listed are the ones worth buying. Those CDs not available as the book was published are marked ‘*’, however, since albums are being reissued and deleted all the time, please check with a specialist retailer.” (This relates to 1996, when the book was first published, obviously the information will often be out of date. The same applies to ‘2 on 1’ issues: some of these are now no longer available in this format and have been reissued separately, or even deleted completely).

Alphabetical order by artist and then chronologically by album; all listings are of albums unless indicated to the contrary. I’ve tended to note when an album is a compilation or box set, unless it’s obvious from the title, ie: Best Of; Essential, etc.
