BQ. When a Sitar is used or has some eastern influence BQ2. Stoner Rock/ Desert Rock BQ3. Some of the best songs are the ones that take the listener places in their minds BQ4. Personally I have grown out of the old-school. In that sense, your last three suggestions really do connect personally.
eh, I don't listen to psychedelic music to have psychedelic sensations. Perhaps the closest thing to generally understood psychedelia is Carbon Based Lifeforms (try a random album, "Hydroponic Garden", "Derelicts", "World of Sleepers", "Interloper").
Q1: the floating sensation Q2: psybient BQ3: psychedelia is everywhere BQ4: I'd like to approach it well, so starting from the old school, things you're mentioning here, Can, Tangerine Dream, Gong, etc. (and I think the 'kraut section' is the one I might prefer, maybe).
"What are your favorite psychedelic albums? Here are a few of my favorites:" Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold As Love
Hawkwind - Hawkwind
Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Can - Future Days
Shape Of Despair - Illusions Play
Soft Machine - Third
BQ: Its not really something I seek out specifically. I do listen to lots of music though that has elements of Psychedelica.
BQ2: Cant say. I dont really listen to it specifically as a genre.
BQ3: It also crossed over with soul. The Temptations on their later albums from the late 60s and early 70s would sometimes sing about drugs and have trippy sounding instrumentation. I could see it crossing over into those other genres you mentioned, but in all honesty I hear more elements of it in Drum & Bass and Techno than I do in Rock. This observation excludes bands like My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3, and The Stone Roses. I cant speak for anything else because I dont like much Shoegaze, Space Rock, or Britpop outside of those 3 bands respectively.
BQ4: Neither as I dont really hunt down musice specifically because it is Psychedelica. Rather, I go for music that I am going to like sometimes it may have traits of Psychedelica.
Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn The Grateful Dead - Anthem Of The Sun Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing At Baxters Traffic - Mr Fantasy Cream - Disraeli Gears
