Gale Garnett


Canadian-born singer Gale Garnett took a dip in the hippie pool around the end of the 60's with her psych-ish band Gentle Reign, but she started her career as a distinctly less-feminine female singer in the mid 50's. Here's her 1965 single, I'll Cry Alone with a wacky video for the loungy B-side, "Where Do You Go to Go Away?"
"I'll Cry Alone":

"Where Do You Go to Go Away?":

July


UK psychedelia from 1968, their self-titled LP. Where the rest of the album has a more predictable, albeit good, late 60's psych-pop sound, "The Way" sounds like a funky dub remix of a 60's song that could have been recorded yesterday, except that it is a 60's song, and it's actually not dubbed.
"The Way":

"I See":

Mikio Masuda


Japanese keyboardist Mikio Masuda with a legitimately smooth track, and quite possibly the best/worst album art I've seen in a while.
"Moon Stone" from the 1977 album of the same name:

Mort Garson


Mother Earth's Plantasia (1976) by Mort Garson, moog instrumentation for growing plants. Mort's career started as a composer and pianist in the early 60's, but he became known mostly for the eccentric psychedelia that doused his Moog recordings. Preceeding Plantasia was Black Mass (1971) written under the pseudonym of Lucifer and meant to accompany the ceremony of its namesake; a series of singles, one for each aspect of the Zodiac; and a psychedelic re-telling of the Wizard of Oz, The Wozard of Iz (1968), complete with insane narration.
"Symphony for a Spider Plant":

"Music to Soothe the Savage Snake Plant":

"Ode to an African Violet":

"Swingin' Spathipyllums":
