If you don't mind more electronica-type music, try Squarepusher and Aphex Twin. Some good stuff.

I used to make lists on Amazon when I was bored, and I posted a bunch on psychedelic music. I agree with analog'd about Television, as well as including jazz in the psychedelic spectrum.

Here's a few of my lists:

The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle

I don't think anything really sounds like Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd. Having said that, there are some nice recommendations on this thread which got me digging up some music I haven't played in awhile.

I would second the following bands mentioned by previous posts:
Hawkwind
early King Crimson
Jefferson Airplane
Syd Barrett solo albums
Country Joe and The Fish

In addition, I would say that these are also quite good

Amon Duul II - Yeti

Amon Duul II - Phallus Dei

Arthur Brown - The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown

Various Artists - Psychedelic Jazz

Ennio Morricone - Crime and Dissonance. This is a a collection of music Morricone wrote for late 1960s / early 1970s Italian thrillers and sounds nothing like his scores of spaghetti westerns. Highly recommended.

I can't find Psychedelic Jazz anywhere. Do you know where it's available?

I'm not sure I can help you. I ran into the CD randomly at a store several years ago. On the spine : BOUTIQUE 068 848-2. And here is an image of the back :

I did try the website printed and the page loads. But it is all in German! The music is quite good and I highly recommended it if you like Pink Floyd from Saucerful of Secrets up to around Meddle.

Just found it at Amazon.de. Here's the link : http://www.amazon.de/Psychedelic-Jaz...6656055&sr=8-5

Ditto on that. The Madcap Laughs is a classic wacked out Syd Barret Double LP.

The godfathers of real acid wacked out music, try the Thirteenth Floor Elevators, especially Easter Everywhere or Pychedelic Sounds.

Yeah, Television are great, and I'm aware that nothing's going to sound exactly like Syd era floyd, but I'm just looking for somewhat similar stuff.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

If you like ambient psychedelic check out Shpongle. Any one of their 3 albums are spectacular and very well engineered. Anything by Entheogenic is also very very well made and great to listen to. Ott is another great one, check out his CD titled Blumenkraft...very good groovy psychedelic there. If you want somehting a little more on the hard psychedelic side...check out Infected Mushroom, Astrix, Protoculture, SUN Project, Mahamudra, Electric Universe, Oforia, Vibrasphere, and Younger Brother. If you go to www.psyshop.com you can check out samples of nearly everything I listed here. My all time favorite CD is by Infected Mushroom, titled Classical Mushroom. Its what you get when you mix classical music with psychedelic trance...been giving me eargasms for the past 7 years

I used to love listening to Zappa when in a psychedelic haze. Here's a couple videos from the 70's with some wild claymation.

for acid space, Hawkwind would keep anyone happy for a long time but also check out their Notiing Hill Gate community elder relatives, namely the Deviants and the Pink Fairies... these were more violently anarchic bands, the Deviants sort of a U.K. version of the Fugs.

The Deviants - Ptooff!
The Deviants - Disposable
The Deviants - 3

Pink Fairies - Never Never Land
Pink Fairies - What a Bunch of Sweeties
Pink Fairies - Kings of Oblivion
Pink Fairies - Mandies & Mescaline round at Uncle Harry's' ... mainly for their Glatonbury Fayre 1971 tracks, 'Do It!' and the seminal 'Uncle Harry's Last Freakout'

Did someone mention Gong earlier?
Anything before the Shamal album would suit anyone in to ambient/space/psychedelic ...'You' is the must have album, and is mind blowing thru Stax Sigma Pro's. Gong's earlier 'Camembert Electrique' is worth a play for sheer psychedelic lunacy.

You'll get some decent stuff if you follow Steve Hillage after he left Gong, even fairly recently with his band System 7.

Also check out the Dutch band 'Focus', and maybe even fellow countrymen 'Supersister'.

Awesome list. The Pink Faries were a great hard rock crossover into psych. I always considered them one of the seeds into punk (on acid, of course). Check out "Live at The Roundhouse", a really good reuinion LP (unlike their reuinion in the 80s). It has my favorite version of Uncle Hairy's Last Freakout, a brilliant bit of tongue in cheeck guitar god-ness. I also enjoy Larry Wallis' contribution to the first Motorhead LP, but for the original poster, that's straight ahead R&R.

Deviants, with Mick Farren, also a good one. Thanks for the Gong tip, I'll have to check that out.

and don't forget Twink's "Think Pink":
(from allmusic)
As far as overlooked geniuses of the U.K. psychedelic underground go, the man known as Twink certainly belongs on the shelf alongside Kevin Ayers, Kevin Coyne, Syd Barrett, and Robert Wyatt. As drummer for the Pretty Things and, later, the Deviants, as well as being one-half of Shagrat with Steve Peregrin Took, Twink was integral in the creation of some of the U.K. psychedelic underground's most brilliant artifacts. His Think Pink session contains the classic Twink tracks "The Sparrow Is a Sign" and "The Coming of the Other One," which were cut with Steve Peregrin Took of Tyrannosaurus Rex fame. Incidentally, both tracks appear on the Shagrat album that was only officially released in 2001: Pink Jackets Required, which plays the sister album to the Twink solo outing in question. Think Pink is an incredibly varied album with no two songs resembling each other, but then one assumes an acid masterpiece like "Ten Thousand Words in a Cardboard Box" will stay on high rotation for at least a week on the stereos of most psychedelia fans, so overall album flow may not be such an issue. This is pure psychedelic acid rock of the highest order. If one can imagine a fusion of the Incredible String Band, Deviants, early Pink Floyd, and a fair dose of Twink's heredity as a member of Tomorrow and the Pretty Things, you get an idea of what he was up to. Not known for doing things in halves, he shows little restraint in the assembly of a group designed to tear the roof of the psychedelic scene. The band was made up of the Deviants guitarist Paul Rudolph — the U.K. equivalent of Fred "Sonic" Smith — who provides the most astonishing fuzz freak-outs and arrangements on the album. Other players included Viv Prince; Wally Waller; John Povey; Victor Unitt; Deviants bassist Honk; John Wood of Tomorrow; and, of course, the not-to-be underestimated contributions from Steve Peregrin Took. Regardless of the connotations the term "psychedelic" carries with it, it's not all Pink Fairies and Tolkien. Things get ominous and dark on "Fluid" and "I Remember Nothing"; then, by the first half of the album, the mind is expanded enough to take in side two, where the presence of Steve Took really starts to come into play. His brilliant "The Sparrow Is a Sign" is a psychedelic anthem that is worth acquiring the album for alone. Essential stuff, not to be missed by those following the U.K. underground psychedelic scene circa 1968-1972.
