From one Tangerine Dream to another... 

After last week, this time it's not the band but an album named 'Tangerine Dream'. 

So let's drift back to 1967....

Amid the lyrics of 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' there are clues to the name. Even while that song was being written an English psychedelic rock band from London called Kaleidoscope had begun recording their debut album 'Tangerine Dream' in January 1967, using songs they had written in late 1966. The recordings were completed in May. The album`s June release was then rescheduled to November to allow their debut single 'Flight from Ashiya' to introduce them to the record-buying public [a song that sounds very 'See Emily Play' like - see them live here].  

The LP finally appear late November 1967 and despite the group’s following, good reviews and radio play it failed to reach the charts. It is now considered a classic psychedelic album.

Kaleidoscope were composers Peter Daltrey on vocals, keyboards and lyrics with Eddy Pumer: guitar, keyboards and music, along with Steve Clark: bass, flute & Dan Bridgman on drums & percussion.  

A place to start is the track that ends the album, a psychedelic fairy tale: 'The Sky Children' >

I can recommend tracks '(Further Reflections) In The Room Of Percussion' [with weird stereo effects] click here. And 'Dear Nellie Goodrich' among others on this album. 

NB: Confusingly there's an American band from the same era called Kaleidoscope. A psychedelic folk group who recorded four albums and several singles for Epic Records between 1966 and 1970. The band's membership included multi instrumentalist David Lindley.
