	Psychedelic rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music inspired by or attempting to replicate the mind-altering experiences brought on by drugs such as cannabis, psilocybin, mescaline, salvia divinorum, and especially LSD.
		The first use of the word "psychedelic" in a rock music context is usually credited to the 13th Floor Elevators, and the earliest known appearance of this usage of the word in print is in the title of their 1966 album The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators.
		Psychedelic rock was heavily influenced by the contemporary interest in the music of India, particularly the raga form and the classical instrumental styles of Hindustani music, which was popularised in the west by The Beatles and Ravi Shankar.

	Psychedelic Shack (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychedelic Shack is a 1970 album by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label, which represents the Temptations' full-blown submergence into psychedelia.
		Psychedelic Shack was the final album completed before the third incarnation of The Temptations (Dennis Edwards, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin, and Otis Williams) broke apart.
		Motown received a significant number of requests to release "War" as a single; instead of risking the careers of the Temptations with such a politically charged song, the song was rerecorded by Edwin Starr before Motown allowed its release as a single.

	Psychedelic Shack - The Temptations - Song Listings
		With everything the Temptations released pretty much guaranteed to turn to gold, not to mention platinum for that matter, even their tripped-out forays into sweet '60s psychedelic experimentation were sure to fire a string of hits.
		1970's Norman Whitfield-produced Psychedelic Shack -- while perhaps a system shock to those fans who grooved to the band's lame-suited, Motown dance-routined R&B classics -- was a magnificent stretch into an epic and ultimately emerged as another in a long line of enduring sets.
		While fellow Motown-er Edwin Starr has etched what is now considered to be the definitive version of the song into the history tablets, the Temptations certainly took their own inspiration and added a unique spin as well.

		Every song I ever wrote that’s any good has come to me standin’ on that line.’”1 Gordy did not know how to read music, so he invented a system of number notation to signify the tune.
		The song predated the establishment of Motown Records, and in some ways was a catalyst for it, as the End Records royalty check totaled only $3.19.
		Whitfield became the Temptations’ main producer in 1966 when his song “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” did better than Smokey Robinson’s “Get Ready.”20 With the departure of H-D-H in 1967, Whitfield’s songwriting was a major creative force within the company.

	Rockument Radio - Scenes - S.F. Psychedelic Rock
		There was two aspects to the experience of the 60s: the resistance to the war, and the "psychedelic experience", personified as political activists and hippies.
		Psychedelic experiences suggested more use of feedback and distortion, more sound effects, and in some cases more and in others less orchestration.
		This suite of songs is from the Grateful Dead's second album, pieced together from live concerts in 1968, and mixed in the studio.

		Probably most people who like psychedelic music would be able to say if a particular piece of music is psychedelic, even if they could not give an all embracing definition of what psychedelic music is.
		Psychedelic rock emerged in the mid-'60s, as British Invasion and folk-rock bands began expanding the sonic possibilities of their music.
		Eventually, psychedelic evolved into acid rock, heavy metal, and art rock, but there continued to be revivals of psychedelia in the decades that followed, most notably in the American underground of the mid-'80s.

		That’s what Eddie and Paul did with "Just My Imagination." With Eddie on lead and Paul singing the bridge, their joint Tempts swan song was not only a triumphant return to old-school ballads, but a defining moment in the Temptations’ careers—particularly that of Eddie, who rode this track into a successful solo career.
		Three ultra-romantic moments are provided courtesy of "Firefly," "Memories," and the title song (covering Donny Hathaway and Leon Russell), where Dennis Edwards’ performance gave producer Bowen food for thought on the follow-up.
		Regardless of that, two of those songs, "Paradise" (not a reprise of the 1962 single), and the title track are satisfying listens.

		After the second verse, the key changes from D to E. I like this song for the swing tempo, Eddie's falsetto voice, and the lyrics in which the narrator compares his girlfriend to various objects, including a candle, a broom, money, and honey.
		This song however, is upbeat and has a happy mood; this time the narrator is praising his girlfriend for the good qualities he sees in her.
		Psychedelic Shack (3:51; various leads) - This song, which IS about drugs, opens with the sound effect of someone knocking on the door of the shack, followed by the door creaking open, along with clapping and cheering similar to that heard in the previous song.

		Although the effect was originally created with tape, electronic engineers soon devised ways of duplicating it electronically and a wide range of effects units soon came on the market whjich allowed guitarists and other to add the phasing effect to their instruments.
		Another key psychedelic recording, which uses phasing and which combines compressed piano, Hammond organ and Mellotron, is the hit 1968 version of Bob Dylan's "This Wheel's on Fire" recorded by Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll and Trinity.
		Later Psychedelic trance artists such as Hallucinogen and Shpongle have continued the psychedelic music tradition within a dance-oriented context.

		Whether you love or hate the Temptations' psychedelic funk/soul material, it cannot be disputed that it was something that was on the cutting edge of nothing like Motown had ever done before.
		PSYCHEDELIC SOUL focuses on this chapter of the legendary quintet's career, which spans from 1968 to 1974.
		"Cloud Nine", which opens this 2 CD set and signals the birth of their psychedelic phase, is a dark tale of a poor, urban family and their broken home, and how one family member escapes from his dismal surroundings.

		pOoTers pSycheDelic shAcK: In your very in-depth and informative interview with Gabriel Lilliehook, where he asks you about your influences, you respond by talking about Dave Yorko (Red River Rock), the solo on Rock Around the Clock (which I agree is a classic) and Francisco Terraga.
		Now you're beginning to touch on why I would not go along with the idea, those bands in the previous period were polished, and worked to polish and perfect their sound, they intentionally worked Not to be raw and rough......
		kind of song, it's about love of beauty as expressed by mastery of the guitar, which is kinda different and refreshing.

	CD Baby: H.R. FUNK 'N' PUFF: Songs From the Electric Greenwood
		The electronica of the 90’s always had a bit of a psychedelic edge to it, but I always felt it could have moved forward by bringing in instruments other than synthesizers, merging the psychedelic sounds of the 60’s with modern electronic rhythms.
		On Songs From the Electric Greenwood, Moss whips up a tasty and aromatic stew of Chemical Brothers style funky breaks along with the more traditional instruments of psychedelic folk and rock.
		The Shack returns us to the acoustic, banjo pickin’ fun of Holy Roller, and is a joyful partying celebration of all things cosmic and psychedelic.

	Love Shack by The B-52's Songfacts
		This was inspired by a 1970 Temptations song called "Psychedelic Shack," which had the refrain: "Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at."
		Despite this, their only other top 40 hit prior to "Love Shack", was when Rock Lobster was re-released in 1986, when it did rather better making no.12.
		Love Shack is their most well known song though, a song always popular in a party atmosphere.

		Though psychedelic rock may have been AWOL from Stairway to Stardom, its standard has been carried by three local bands, each of them associated with a local independent named The Americans Are Coming Recordings (AAC).
		Even 1970s acts most people don’t think of as psychedelic, such as David Bowie and the New York band Television, find their way into the mix, along with the spacy, spaghetti-western textures of Hugo Montenegro’s soundtracks for Sergio Leone films.
		Some of the songs even have the kind of deliciously sinister vibe that, if I heard one coming out of the tape deck of a van with a pentagram sticker in the back window that was parked anywhere near the woods or an open field, I’d high-tail it out of there--pronto.

	Edwin Starr - Biography - AOL Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Starr capitalized on the song's novelty appeal by appearing on-stage in a spy costume complete with toy gun, but proved he was no one-trick pony by returning to the Top Ten a year later with "Stop Her on Sight (S.O.S.)."
		Whitfield had co-written a strident anti-war protest song, "War," for the Temps' Psychedelic Shack LP, and in spite of growing demand for a single release, Motown didn't want the group to take such an aggressive stance.
		Whitfield recut "War" with Starr, and the resulting version was arguably the most incendiary song Motown ever released.

	ESCAPADE: 'Remembrance of Things Unknown' CD Reviews
		pOoTers pSycheDelic shAcK were lucky enough to get their hands on a copy of this limited edition (500 only, so you better get your butt in gear and buy one quick) collection of previously unreleased material from New York's Escapade.
		From space music, in an early seventies guitar-based Krautrock vein, through more driving psychedelic jamming, this is one seriously hot album and comes unhesitatingly recommended to all those who like to hear great playing with a primitive emotive feel and a raw edge but also with atmosphere and heart.
		The six songs are well chosen as they represent both the overtly space Kosmiche side of the band as well as their more general avant-rock leanings.

		And Espinoza's ebb-and-flow song ordering, as well as his use of concise song structures (the album times in at just over 30 minutes), makes this album a must-listen.
		Psychedelic Soul begins with the Tempts first post-Ruffin single, a doozy: "Cloud Nine" told the tale of a kid who grows up poor and takes refuge in drugs.
		And then there's the true masterpiece of the collection, none other than "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," a 12-minute opus that chillingly addresses fathers who desert their families and the emptiness they leave behind.

	Space Rock in Blind Alleys
		This song, and hundreds of others like it, contained all the ersatz musical distortions, as well as the peace-and-love lyrics, of a genre that had been passé for at least two years.
		The roots of psychedelic music were in no real musical tradition but in sheer accident: one day some white guitarists got their wires crossed and heard a new kind of song in the feedback from their amps, and a new style of rock was born.
		That unintelligibility, furthermore, shouldn't be taken as some sort of callenge from the sonic vanguard, because even a cursory listening reveals that most of the musicians are utterly inept; aside from tinkering with studio effects, machine sounds, and more ragas, they haven't the slightest idea what they're doing.

		The label had always been focused on making hit songs, but around this time Motown artists like The Temptations and Marvin Gaye started releasing songs with social commentary, many of which were written by Whitfield.
		Motown had no intention of releasing it as a single, but many people in the protest movement, especially college students, made it clear that this would be a big hit if it was.

	The Temptations
		Edwards' arrival coincided with the onset of the Temptations' "psychedelic" period, a turn toward more contemporary sounds and incisive subject matter inspired by the likes of Sly and the Family Stone.
		Amid this onslaught of psychedelic soul, the Temptations also cut "Just My Imagination", a velvety, Kendrick-sung ballad that harked back to the days of "My Girl" and returned them to the top of the charts in 1971.
		During the Seventies, in the spirit of that album-oriented era, the Temptations recorded some of their strongest and most cohesive long players, including "Masterpiece" (1973), "A Song For You" (1975) and "The Temptations Do the Temptations" (1976).

		Every song on side 1 is memorable: the loping shuffle of "True," psychobilly drive of "Your Haunted Head," extended menace of "Dance Along the Edge," and the bittersweet farewell of "Song for Kim" stick in the mind long after the record is over, but it is "Still in Hollywood" that is the career maker.
		The band compresses into one song the hope, glamour, squalor, and resignation that has made the "City of Dreams" a bipolar magnet--equally attracting and repelling--for 100 years.

		The “Motown sound” evolved over the years (such as the difference between the early Temptations song “My Girl” versus the late song “Psychedelic Shack”).
		In general, Motown songs were characterized by a clean, distinctive structure, drum, bass, and tambourine instrumentation, and call and response vocals.
		Until well after Motown’s reputation and profitability had been established, songs released by the label dealt with “universal” themes, primarily heterosexual romance.

		The Psychedelic Furs are an influential British post-punk band founded in the 1970s.
		Punk had dismissed psychedelic rock and was adamantly opposed to it.
		The outcome was a combination of droning guitars and sax, rhythm section in the deep end of the pool, and raspy biting vocals with a slightly more pop feel than punk, becoming progressively more pop and less punk with successive albums until 1989's Book of Days' return to the earlier style.
