Fuzzdandy Presents Behind the Tymes (UK 70s Pop Psych Artists)
About 10 years ago we made a series of themed mixes for blogs & forums. We called those compilations “Behind the Tymes”. It was a mix of psychedelic tunes that sounded slightly behind the times between 1969 to mid 70’s. Basically artists making psychedelic music in the post-psych period which, ideally would not have been compiled anywhere else previously (a couple have since appeared on compilations.)
We were initially inspired to make these compilations after hearing Jörgen Johansson’s Fading Yellow Volume 5, a flawless compilation of 1970’s soft psychedelic album tracks. So if you love that volume you should understand & hopefully dig Behind The Tymes. We started with this one which featured only UK artists as volume 1 & eventually made a US/Canada based mix with volume 2 & then a Worldwide mix with volume 3. We really dug deep to find the tunes but think it was worth the hours spent when we listened back.
