- Well, of course one mustn't forget the first Pink Floyd album--
- Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It's one of the great psyechdelic
- albums of all time.
-
- Also, you could check into the Dukes of Stratosphear, who have a
- very psychedelic (a self-conscious send-up of psyechdelia actually,
- but the tunes are catchy and it's fun listening) EP called
- 25 O'Clock, and a somewhat less psychedelic album called... something
- else. Then there is a CD which has both the ep and the album, called
- something silly like Chocolate Marshmallow Alarm Clock or somesuch.
- There's only one Dukes of Stratosphear CD so you'll know it when
- you see it... I have the CD and it's fun to listen to some times.
- Oh, the Dukes are actually the English pop group XTC in disguise...
-
- (I've always wondered about XTC.... were they ahead of their time
- by naming themselves after MDMA way back in 1978, or is their name
- simply a reference to the emotion?)
