I'm searching for music that is both crazily progressive and psychedelic... well, avant-prog is usually more that than the usual psychedelic/space rock, I think.
But in this case, I search for mysticism and music that uses gong :P. Maybe the mysticism means also that the music is somehow dark or heavy, maybe a bit disjointed, and the sound should probably be full/rounded and sharp at times, and somehow atmospheric. And dramatic. Many times a bit like movie music. Also marching music influences are present many times and it suits to the theme we're now looking for. But if you don't know music like that, recommend just any music that is the most psychedelic you know.
This thread is also for other people who are searching for something like this.
There's many kinds of psychedelic music, and it can be symphonic rock, psych-folk, krautrock, space rock, british psychedelia etc, zeuhl, avant-prog, heavy rock (also doom & black metal)... So describe the band (or rather an album) with few words, or more.
Here's some (aren't maybe so mystical but that's why I'm asking you here):
Magma (Zeuhl, and everyone knows this. Actually this is quite much what I'm looking for, or some elements of Magma, like the instruments - remember gong ;) )
Mythos (Mythos. For example song Encyclopedia Terra. Maybe this is krautrock but atmospheric war music also, and say if you know something like this!!)
Acid Mothers Temple etc??
Catherine Ribeiro (Atmospheric, even new age folk with dramatic vocals... but maybe too light for me)
Amon Düül II (Phallus Dei... you know)
Island (Pictures. Wow.. see also Gnidrolog. Or VdGG)
Gnidrolog (In Spite Of Harry's Toe-Nail)
VdGG.... ELP :D...
Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Metamorfosi, Il Balletto Di Bronzo, Apoteosi, Premiata Forneria Marconi... (I have 100 Italian Symphonic Prog albums and it's useless to list - and maybe those aren't even what I'm looking for now)
Gong (has some Gong ;) I've began to value this more since I just haven't found much more music like this)
Alan Sorrenti - Aria (Much based on the crazy dramatic vocals)
Comus - First Utterance
Man - Do You Like It Here, Are You Settling In? (maybe more basic heavy and psychedelic rock)
Syd Barret... etc. Actually I don't know. Say something!
Vortex, Dün, Koenjihyakkei, Present, Univers Zero, Henry Cow... Avant-prog/Zeuhl/Chamber Rock... There's plenty of it but I would like to find some non-avant-prog music
Shub-Niggurath - Les Morts Vont Vite, Jacula, The Red Masque - Feathers For Flesh ("gothic" avant-garde? anyways - dark!)
Many of these are quite random and you can say every band is somehow psychedelic, but these are bands that came into my mind... And I just don't know psychedelic rock enough to list them so widely).
Recommendations?!
