Technicolour Dreaming

The last show for May seemed to include quite a few bands from New Zealand, some of whom feature in the great compilation series "A Day in My Mind's Mind: 29 Kiwi Psychedelic Trips 1967-72" which is currently up to Volume 4. Psychedelia seems to have been a bit of a "late bloomer" on the Kiwi music scene, with psych tracks regularly in the charts up until the early 70's. Nowadays one of the cities to watch is Edinburgh, in Scotland - the new compilation "5", released by Dog's Got A Bone Records, is an excellent sample of a diverse range of bands, many unsigned or unreleased elsewhere - check out their sampler back-catalogue for more treats ... and this week's Technicolour Dreaming playlist is listed below:-
