My top 3 right now are:
Pink Floyd - DSotM
A classic classic album with a perfect flow to it. Side A is like a little suite and it's just delish.
Pulsar - Strands of the Future
A perfect blend between Symphonic and Space prog. Stunning mellotron and acoustic guitar interplay.
Eloy - Ocean
Another great mix of Symphonic and Space sorta flavors. The synth solos are out of this world.

I also really love Legacy by Hypnos 69 though to me it's a Heavy Prog album with sax, incorrectly labeled as Psych/Space.

Hi,

I wish I could list stuff in this thread, but I can't.

For me a lot of this music is not just stone eyed crazy stuff that we listen to when we're high. Almost all the material listed here was already "post drug" days, which were not that many for me, although I had my share, but AD2 was not "psychedelic" for me, anymore than Bob Dylan. I think the "translation" of the wording is what made it tough and weird, and the band took advantage of it. But in the middle of it the music was serious, thought out and played well.

Weird for me, that folks think of Hawkwind as stoned stuff, specially as one member went on about it, and helped put together 2 great pieces to discuss it in one album ... "Reefer Madness" and "Steppenwolf" ... both pretty much about the same thing as here, but in words that made it look like the dope changed things for us, when it was our minds that could not understand what it saw and what was in front of us.

Almost all of the stuff listed is not psychedelic for me, and that was one drug I enjoyed a lot, and listened to a lot of music on it, but I can tell you that a lot of the music did not sound better on it ... in fact, many bands sounded way worse. But, from a thinking perception, many of those bands made sense, and sometimes I think we're making fun of that sense. Which for me, is bizarre.

There are few albums that are (likely) truly psychedelic ... the ability to put those albums together can not be done in that state, and organize all the elements within it, and it did not take long for many bands to realize that! Even the Beatles.

"Space" this and that was misleading, mostly because of its title, not because of its idealism, and to me that is cheating. The only "space prog" is the one that lives inside your head, and is not real yet, because you have not brought it down to reality!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Brainticket - Cottonwoodhill

Steve Hillage - Green. my favorite Hillage album

Guru Guru - Känguru

Space Explosion - Space Explosion

Between - And the Waters Opened

Orange Peel - Orange Peel

Jane - Between Heaven and Hell

Eloy - Inside

Well, we have all our non-favourite sub-genres, and this one looks in general to be one of the less popular among the active PA members.
