I like late 60s psychedelic rock and would like to hear some modern recordings in higher quality (covers or new bands altogether). I am not looking for any acid trance/goa, but something close to the sound of hendrix possibly.

As an example I really like the songs

The Wind Cries Mary - Hendrix
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) - Hendrix
Can Be - Can

Listen to Ozric Tentacles, Phish, Government Mule, The Dead(post-Jerry Garcia era) and Moe even ... that's just a start of what comes off top of my head ...all of them seem to have interest in recording good sounding albums studio and live ...or their engineers and producers do ..

Off the top of my head, try the following albums -

Ozric Tentacles - Erpland
Hidria Spacefolk - Symetria
Quantum Fantay - Agapanthusterra

If you like Can, did you know they re-released a lot of albums on SACD a few years back? I have four or five of those and they sound terrific. Dark Side of the Moon on SACD is terrific, too.

Forgive me for recommending hardware in a music thread (

), but if you can find a Sony SCD-CE595 on the cheap (I paid $60 for a refurb), then it's worth picking up just to play SACDs.

x2 on the Ozrics: the Snapper remasters are very nice indeed.

Also, x2 Can. Excellent music, have the same editions but I don't have an SACD player, so thanks for the heads up Uncle Erik...

Recommend also the United States of America. Well worth hunting up...

Psychedelic/Space Rock, a progressive rock music sub-genre

Krautrock, a progressive rock music sub-genre

why does it have to be audiophile quality? you should find the modern music that you like first, then seek better releases.

amorphous androgynous. check out the issness and the otherness, also the peppermint tree and the seeds of superconsciousness.

Another vote for Ozric Tentacles.
Also try Legendary Pink Dots (Maria Dimension, in particular, is a classic.)

 

[Skorpitarius]

Ahhhh yes the Legendary Pink Dots (and related project "The Tear Garden") .. how could I forget to mention them ... saw them live once , it was wonderful ...

 

[Oggranak]

It might be a bit of a stretch, but maybe The Sky Moves Sideways by Porcupine Tree? Certainly not very 60s-sounding, but it's psychedelic and audiophile quality.

Another vote for Ozric Tentacles.

The DVD-Audio release of the Grateful Dead's American Beauty is amazing. They really took advantage of the extra bits to get a very smooth, analog-like sound and great air. I've A/B'ed it with the CD and there is no comparison.

Did they release any other Pink Floyd on SACD?
