Psychedelia Internationalia

 Ciao, dig it, 
The psychedelic scene was so vast and now we are getting these international re-issues from the era of swirling sounds, fuzz, colors in music, and the like. Here are a few of those bands, not cutting their guitar teeth in the US of wah-wah. They are worth checking out even if some music is sung in their native language and you can't understand the words; hey what did you expect! 
Besides fuzz is universal~

November/ En ny tid ar har and 2:a (killer heavier psych) Sweden
Gleemen/ ST (italy) Pre-Garybaldi (but you knew that already) They make Hendrix proud.
Modulo 1000 (brazil) Crazy psych from the very early 70's
Group 1850/ Paradise now (netherlands) very cool progish sound
