Pony Bravo - Si Bajo de Espalda No Me Da Miedo (2008)

Krautrock, Blues, Flamenco, Reggae, 70's Rock, Afro-Beat...the list of Andalusian band Pony Bravo's musical influences is virtually endless. Their music resembles a dark and psychedelic mosaic of styles and eras, which knows no boundaries whatsoever. Mostly, the band plays percussive, rhythm-centered offbeats while lead singer Daniel Alonso hypnotizes the listener with his "Jim-Morrison-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown"  like vocal delivery. Records like these are the reason why people take acid, and I mean that in a good way!

Radiohead - In Rainbows Special Edition + Bonus Disc (2007)

 

After a mediocre live album and the rather weak "Hail To The Thief", Radiohead came back with a blast in 2007. "In Rainbows"  is their most songwriting-oriented album since "The Bends" and makes less use of electronic gimmicks than its predecessors, resulting in a very warm and organic sound. Radiohead's main achievement on "In Rainbows" is consistency; where some of their recent efforts lack substance or sound lost, there is great cohesion in these songs. Altogether this might be the most underrated Radiohead album, featuring some great b-sides on the bonus disc, most of all the mindblowing  Down Is the New Up.

Portishead - NYC Roseland (1998)

This is my favourite trip-hop album and one of the most innovative live records of all time. The whole album was recorded during a live show the band played in the NYC Roseland Ballroom on November 10th, 1998. It features alternate versions of songs from their first two studio albums, backed by a 35-piece orchestra.  Beth Gibbon's superb delivery paired with menacing arrangements make this record a dark, psychedelic masterpiece.

3.) All Mine

4.) Mysterons

The Limiñanas - The Limiñanas LP (2010)

The Limiñanas LP is the self-titled debut of Perpignon-based French band The Limiñanas. They fuse garage rock with classic French pop and chanson to a unique and seductive blend of psychedelic pop. In terms of sound their music is located somewhere between Serge Gainsbourg and early Velvet Underground. Dreamy pop melodies accompany fuzzy guitars and charming spoken word passages...

4.) Funeral Baby

5.) Chocolate in My Milk

6.) Tigre Du Bengale

7.) Mountain

V.A. - Tropicalia - A Brazilian Revolution in Sound (2006)

This brilliant collection documents the peak of the Brazilian Tropicalia movement in 1968. It features a variety of 20 songs that breathe the spirit of an era dominated by free love, the anti-war movement and violent clashes with the authorities. For the first time traditional Brazilian music opened up to external influences, such as Rock and Roll and the psychedelic movement, which results in an exciting experimental fusion of cultures, styles and ideas.
