Barrett and the Youth for Christ Choir, Like A Ship Without A SailRoxy Music, Avalon (my interest in this album was initially minimal since I figured I was fine with just having "More Than This" and the title track on their greatest hits, but I picked it up for cheap and the whole thing flows so gorgeously)

Grateful Dead, Live/Dead. "Feedback" blew my mind; the Dead DID stuff like that?! The rest of it was far better than I expected, not at all the aimless, listless noodling I always associated with the Dead.

Maybe not well-known enough to be a bonafide "classic", but Terry Allen's Juarez and Lubbock (On Everything) renewed my thirst for digging-up new treasures.

Seconded - had to dip in and out of it for about 10 years before it finally made sense. The fact that it was a daunting double cd didn't help. Now I can play it all the way through with my eyes closed.

over the past year or so, i've been enjoying softly psychedelic mood music from the late 60s and early 70s, with an emphasis on orchestration, light funk and ambient sound. suppose this sort of thing was a hip crush 15 or 20 years back, but i didn't pay much attention at the time and am now catching up. of these, only contact and vampyros lesbos (kind of a joke, but lots of fun) were previously familiar to me:
danger: diabolik - ennio morricone (1968)an electrical storm - white noise (1968)songs of innocence - david axelrod (1968)contact - the silver apples (1968)music to moog by - gershon kingsley (1969)the electric lucifer - bruce haack (1970)valerie and her week of wonders - lubos fiser (1970)"vampyros lesbos" sountracks compilation - manfred hübler and siegfried schwab (1971)sonic seasonings - wendy carlos (1972)le planète sauvage - alain goraguer (1973)

sam's talking about bitches brew, but i recently had just this experience with captain beefheart's trout mask replica. between 1987 and 2010, i tried several times to get into it, but never made much headway. i enjoyed several songs, lyrics and interludes, but the whole thing remained more maddening than enjoyable. finally, a month or so back, it just clicked! kick ass album, sounds kind of like the minutemen. can't now imagine what made it seem so "difficult" in the past.

I had that same experience with Trout Mask but it was only about a year after I bought it that it clicked.
and finally, yeah, electric miles from the late 60s and early 70s. tons of it. in a silent way and bitches brew up through the compilations and live stuff released in the mid 70s. get up with it (so great!), dark magus, that kind of thing. especially on the corner. especially jack johnson.

I was fortunate that TroutMaskReplica clicked with me immediately.
I did get the 2CD version of "Sketches of Spain", and mmmmmm it's nice. but that's it.
I see Bitches Brew around, it's like 'cheap' for the 1CD version, and 'pricey' for the deluxe edition.
Should I? Which?

4-disc "complete sessions" version of bitches brew is wonderful, well worth owning. is that the deluxe version you mean?

"Recollections" may be my very favorite Miles Davis song, it's on the four disc "complete sessions."

oh man contenderizer lots of the stuff on yer list is awes but electric lucifer is so mind blowing good
there was a pretty decent 3 disc (one was remixes iirc but whatever) perrey/kingsley comp out several years ago which is also essential, although goofier, if you dont have it

thx for the heads up, looks cool. expected more pop-leaning trip hop for some reason, as this sort of music was an influence on that style. thievery corp, early portishead, that kind of thing.

Hell yeah!I found an original pressing of it in the (rare!) brown paper bag and got it for a good price, too (12 bucks, maybe?) right after I started collecting vinyl when I was 18.

The Joe Byrd and The Field Hippies record (The American Metaphysical Circus) really does feel like a sequel (different female lead singer and other personnel changes iirc) but it's not up to the same standard. Still very much worth hearing, tho

Actually I got this several months back, but I've been listening to it a lot lately. The first song is so bad and atypical that it kind of throws you for a loop, but the rest of the album holds up with their other work just fine.

I picked up 'Veedon Fleece' a good few months back and was blown away. Until then I entirely disregarded Van Morrison aside of 'Astral Weeks' and 'Moondance'. On the back of enjoying 'Veedon Fleece' I picked up 'Tupelo Honey' which was ok, the early live record which I half liked and 'Common One' which was suprisingly good, especially the longer tracks. Still, I find myself drawn to Van's hypnotic stuff the most, 'Astral Weeks' has always floored me. The big suprise on 'Veedon Fleece' was "You Don't Pull No Punches' which is up there with the best on 'Astral Weeks'. I did hear good things about 'Saint Dominic's Preview' but the last I checked it was still to be reissued.

I'm a big fan of Moondance, Tupelo Honey, and St. Dominic's Preview, but I haven't been able to get into Astral Weeks that much. I guess I prefer the country/R&B Van to the folk/jazz Van. My impression of Veedon Fleece is that it's more like Astral Weeks, so I haven't checked that one out yet.
