If pretentious twaddle counts as psych (sorry) personally I'd go for "The
Yes Album" - it's back to "are there any good studio double albums": I've
struggled to think of any myself in the rock field apart from "Tago Mago"
by Can, and putting my "jazz duffer" hat on, there's "Bitches Brew" by
Miles Davis, and I reckon that's as psychedelic as anything ever released.
Some great double live psychedelia our very own dear "Space Ritual" and the
original "Live/Dead" an album that truly turned my head inside out.  Note
for Deadheads and other interested parties there's a very nice Dead
"Primer" in the new issue of "The Wire", and a rave review of something
called "Space Expolosion" which features the combined talents of Moebius
(Cluster), Zapp & Peron (Faust), Chris Karrer (Amon Duul ii), Jurgen Engler
(Die Krupps) & Guru Guru drummer Mani Neumeier.
