Our Take
Various Artists' "Looking at the Pictures in the Sky" is a delightful trip down memory lane, filled with whimsical melodies and charming harmonies that transport the listener to a bygone era of British psychedelia. From the swirling guitars of The Turtles to the dreamy vocals of The Hollies, this album is a treasure trove of nostalgic treasures. Each track on this compilation is like a quirky painting hanging in a quaint English countryside pub - full of character, charm, and a hint of eccentricity. The Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset" washes over you like a warm summer breeze, while Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" is a kaleidoscopic burst of colour that leaves you feeling euphoric and carefree. But it's not just the big hits that make this album so special. Deep cuts from artists like The Zombies and The Small Faces showcase the depth and diversity of the British psych scene, proving that there's more to this genre than meets the eye. Overall, "Looking at the Pictures in the Sky" is a must-listen for fans of 60s psych-pop and anyone looking to inject a bit of retro cool into their music collection. So kick back, pour yourself a cup of English Breakfast tea, and let these timeless tunes whisk you away to a world of paisley patterns and flower power vibes. Cheers!
