Neo-Psychedelia / Psychedelic Rock / Prog (80s-today)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neils_Children wrote:Neils Children formed in 1999 at Harlow College in Harlow, Essex, where John Linger and Brandon Jacobs were studying music with Tom Hawkins. The band's name came from Linger's obsession with 1960s proto-punk band John's Children; 'Neil' was the nickname of Hawkins, the group's original bassist, due to him apparently resembling Men Behaving Badly star Neil Morrissey.
Primarily playing freakbeat-inspired music, the band performed several gigs on the London mod scene, as well as performing in the Harlow Square Rock Contest. In 2000 Hawkins quit the band for unknown reasons, and went on to become a sound engineer for The Subways. Replacement bassist James Hair was recruited in early 2001.

The Band greets him in the fire dance and summons him on stage, where he flings his share. And so, drawn in the bass trance, lost in the fuzz dunes, your heart rate speeds up and lock on the rhythm of the martial tom. Flies burst in red and white on your retina. Your iris, as the doors of your arteries, open wide. Your brain is on fire, it is the big rollercoaster. Suddenly, your visions become more lysergic: the Farfisa just marked the start of your journey. The Band has just caught you in mid-flight. You will touch the sand again when they will have decided so. You are in the desert no more, you go back in time, your path crosses the ones of the ancestors of psychedelic Acid Tests: Granpa Saxon, Pa Spectrum and Uncle Newcombe. You are in the desert no more. In the desert, the sun knocks you down and your shadow laughs at you: there, los hombres of The Jabberwocky Band offers you the vigor to commend the King of all Stars: HAIL TO THE SUN.

Änglagård is a progressive rock band from Sweden formed in 1991 by guitarist and vocalist Tord Lindman and bassist Johan Högberg. Their primary influences included bands such as King Crimson, Genesis, Trettioåriga Kriget, Schicke Führs Fröhling, Van der Graaf Generator, and other bands of the 1970s. They released two albums, Hybris (1992) and Epilog (1994), as well as a live album (Buried Alive (1994), taken from a 1992 festival appearance) before breaking up. Their first two studio albums are among the most highly regarded progressive works of the 1990s by fans of the genre. Their music is entirely instrumental (aside from some sparse vocals in songs such as “Vandringar i vilsenhet” and the bonus track “Gånglåt från Knapptibble”) and features gentle passages for flute, mellotron, and acoustic guitar contrasted with louder passages of complex rhythms, angular melodies, electric guitar and Hammond organ.

http://www.last.fm/music/Sun+Dial wrote:A British psychedelic rock band formed in 1990 by Gary Ramon.

The precursor to Sun Dial was Ramon’s the Modern Art, formed in the mid-’80s with a loose lineup that never played gigs but did see the release of two studio albums. Ramon disbanded the group out of a desire “to make a more live-sounding group that could go out and play”.

The band gained prominence after the release of their first album, Other Way Out, which quickly sold out its initial run through word of mouth alone. The album was near-universally praised in the independent music press, winning several awards and accolades. However, the album saw little popularity among mainstream critics and radio stations as their authentic ’60s psychedelic sound was out of fashion at the time. Other Way Out remains popular to this day in the psychedelic and prog rock communities, and has gone through eight reissues since its original release.

Subsequent albums have explored many branches of psychedelia, including space rock, acid rock, stoner rock, neo-psychedelia, and psych pop. Their music has been compared to, influenced, or praised by prominent artists such as Monster Magnet, Nirvana, Spiritualized, and Spacemen 3. Sun Dial in turn were influenced by the ’60s and ’70s psychedelia and hard rock of Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, the Open Mind, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin, as well as the drug-influenced “Madchester” sound of the Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, and Happy Mondays.

It’s dark and extreme, influenced by existentialism and avant-garde/radical/underground currents. The group has a reputation for unrelenting live shows that are a full-on assault of the senses,whilst achieving even greater depth on their debut album. Led by Zack Sarzana’s gliding guitars and vocal stylings that range from soft and hazy to outright threatening
