Sebastian Kevan, Heavy Hills
10 Essential Psych Albums
1. The Pink Floyd, Piper At the Gates of Dawn

2. The Jesus and Mary Chain, Psychocandy: Fantastic energy, amazing use of tone (and lack thereof) before it was cool.

3. Spacemen 3, The Perfect Prescription: Ethereally evocative of everything good about psychedelic rock and roll. Sounds like drugs without being exclusive.

9. The Telescopes, Taste

10. Dead Meadow, Howls from the Hills
