El somi havia acabat, efectivament, però n'ha quedat un llegat memorable en molts aspectes.
Un dels articles més interessants d'aquest monogràfic conjunt editat per les revistes Mojo i Q és el que presentem avui: la discografia, el llegat sonor d'aquest moviment cultural.
Una selecció dels 40 millors àlbums escollits per 30 especialistes en música psicodèlica de tot el món. Des de qualsevol punt de vista es podria variar l'ordre de rellevància d'alguns dels títols segons els gustos personals, però si tenim en compte els discos complementaris que acompanyen a molts des títols de la llista, realment podem dir que ens aproximem molt a La Discografia de la Música Psicodèlica.
Alguns són àlbums molt famosos, altres us sorprendran, tots ells són una bona exposició de creativitat. Les al·lucinants cobertes dels discos parlen per si mateixes.
No és fàcil anar més enllà de les formes i els models tradicionals. La música psicodèlica va aportar un valor afegit a la música popular del moment i va obrir les portes de la percepció a tot un món de noves experiències.
... bon viatge !
