Psychedelic is not as melodic as this song you've posted.
If you hear king Crimson, then you'll understand what psychedelic is.

Ok, my recomendation for today is:


Van Der Graaf Generator -- Bunsho

I wouldn't really associate King Crimson with psychedelic music. They're more progressive rock or jazz fusion.

If someone wants to hear a decent example of psychedelic music, then I would cite bands such as The United States of America or The Doors. Can't go wrong with a little neo-psychedelia either...

Any good modern prog rock albums that I should listen to or any prog rock in general?

A few prog bands that I enjoy are Gentle Giant, Yes, Henry Cow, Art Bears, Univers Zero, Magma, early Soft Machine, and Pink Floyd. (and Faust since some people consider them prog rock)

I'm looking for something more accessible, though -- I have plenty RIO albums.

(Baggs may suggest something if he wishes to)

If you want accessible, why not UK popsike?
There's good cccrrraaackkk out there, son.



Whats really good -BUSY! - recent RIO?

[Baggs]

Popsike (or retro-psych) is a great genre as long as your not listening to mass-fodder like Fleet Foxes or Baby Woodrose.

Are you familiar with the trio, WALTER GHOUL'S LAVENDER BRIGADE?
This is primo take on Kinks/Floyd "Relics"-period.
Only problem is the sound-production is a bit amateurish on the first one. When I said as much to Oliver Crumb (I believe it was) , he got all huffy and refused to admit it.

****, I said recent, didnt I? But this gotta be a decade old.
Their website is long gone, but you might get summat here:

Excellent, excellent "accessible".

Alright, I'll look into it. Although, I am looking more for prog rock that doesn't have a "retro" sound to it.

(I like Fleet Foxes, by the way).

Very advanced in their field at the time, more so than most others.
