Psychedelic Sitars - Kitchen Listening. The other day I was playing a group of Asian underground beat albums and today I moved on but kept the sitars. I have in my album collection several albums from the Electric Psychedelic Sitar Headswirlers series which consisted of 60's and 70's psychedelic rock bands from around the world using sitars. Most of the bands I'd never heard of but there were a few I had albums from or were in other compilations. For the most part though this was listening to unfamiliar music with a very distinct sound... sitars in a psychedelic setting. A little over three hours worth today.The albums I have from the series are Volumes 1 & 2 and 4 & 5. Never got a hold of #3. There are at least 12 albums in the series. That's a lot of rockin' sitar.
Some of the bands here that I was already familiar with... The Pretty Things, Oregon, The Flames, Pentangle, Shocking Blue, Lord Sitar, The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, Blonde On Blonde, Tomorrow, Mandrake Memorial, People, Chocolate Watch Band, Lemon Pipers, Amboy Dukes, Folkswingers, Iron Butterfly, etc.
