Early Electric Company

These bands have some flare for electronica albeit was the 60's before any significant electronic instruments were mastered. These pioneers were "spaced out". For an odyssey of the mind have a listen to...

Fifty Foot Hose/ Cauldron (pulls out all the stops using all the bells and whistles of the time-literally)
Silver Apples/ Contact (very cool use of electronic sounds and all songs lyrics are from a poet friend of the band-can't get anymore sixties than that)
United States of America/ST- Well, how about no guitar, that's pretty innovative. Primitive synthesizers and various audio processors make up this classic piece of electronic/psych.
