I know very little about this genre of music, so I found this really informative as well as a delightful read. Until your closing line, I was prepared to leave it at just this... genre that I'd never been drawn towards. But now I can't wait to press play and discover more about psychedelic music. Thanks for the recommendations to get me started!

It was fascinating delving into the genre and circumnavigating the globe to find all the different interpretations. I've always been a big fan of pyschedelic rock and it was easy to stick to the musicians I knew well (most of which were British/American) but it was so exciting to discover beyond that - it felt as if I was listening to music for the first time, exhilirating! Hope you enjoy the playlist!

Ja...I'm not sure that this will be for me...but I do know that you've sparked my interest in at least understanding more about the origins and evolution of psychedelic rock.

Love this article and the connection to French grape varieties in adopted homelands! This playlist + a slow Saturday + a fun, sunshiney bottle of Marlborough Sauvvy B = bliss.

" a bumblebee's haunches.."- I cannot unsee this image! I'm curious, do you have your Mother's eyes and father's chin? Sorry, just joking. As usual I'm mesmerised by your in depth knowledge and how you weave your magic, leading me like the Pied Piper of wine through the tangled web of vineyards and music genres. Thank you😻!

Great article. You should check out Dengue Fever if you haven't already!
