Various Artists – Realistic Patterns: Orchestrated Psychedelia From The USA (2008)

Orchestrated Psychedelia might seem to be something of a misnomer — given the freak and fuzz usually associated with the psyche genre — but the name is well-put here, since most of the tracks feature bigger musical backings! And although “orchestral” might be one way of describing the music, the sound isn’t the sleepy sort you might associate with classical or dramatic soundtracks — as most of the arrangements use the added instruments in ways that range from jazzy to driving to exotic, often with some wonderfully trippy touches. The set’s one of our favorite so far from the Psychic Circle — and once again, compiler Nick Saloman has come up with a whole new genre unto itself, by really shedding new light on a host of overlooked tunes.
