Andromeda - s/t

I can't think of others atm... but that one is definately an epic classic.
Help me in my search for knowledge,
I must learn the Secret Art.
Who dares to help me raise the one
Whose very name near stills my heart?

East of Eden's marvellous Mercator Projected was released at the beginning of 1969, months before ITCOTCK. It's high time this album got some mention - if you haven't listened to it, get hold of it! You won't regret it.

The Nice - Ars Longa Vita Brevis (1968)

Pink Floyd - Piper (1967)

Clouds - Scrapbook (1968) - also worth considering "Up Above Our Heads" (1969)

Fifty Foot Hose - Cauldron (1968)

Monkees - Head (1968)

Small Faces - Ogden's Nut Gone (1968)
 
Drum Circus - Magic Theater (1969)
 
Art - Supernatural Fairy Tales (1967)
 
Spooky Tooth - Spooky Two (1968) (Also worth considering "It's All About" - 1968).
 
Graham Bond Organisation - There's a Bond Between Us (1965)
 
Jethro Tull - This Was (1968).
 
Chrysalis - Definition (1968).
 
Jason Crest - never released an album, but some of their releases are amazing - check out "Black Mass", B-side of "Place in the Sun" (predates the White Noise piece IIRC).
 
 
Pierre Henry - Messe Pour Le Temps Present (1967)
 
Varese - Poeme Electronique (1958) - Influenced Zappa and Fifty Foot Hose
 
Stockhausen - Kontakte (1958) - Influenced both Lennon and McCartney.
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde - Of Cabbages and Kings (1967)

Not added in the site, though they really deserved consideration. The album has a 26+ minutes suite.

Any of the first four Procol Harum albums deserve to be mentioned here. Also the last Beatles albums.
