Some bands made psychedelic music; Kaleidoscope invented the kaleidoscope effect for your ears. This enigmatic British outfit carved their name into rock history with late '60s masterpieces Tangerine Dream and Faintly Blowing, plus the transcendent "Flight from Ashiya," proving the best trips don't require passports. When they morphed into Fairfield Parlour in the '70s, albums like From Home To Home and cult classic White Faced Lady demonstrated reinvention could rival the original vision. Their influence echoes the Velvet Underground—the kind of band that didn't sell millions but inspired everyone who heard them to start their own. Think Like A Key Music's compilation Sky Children serves as the definitive retrospective spanning their evolution from The Sidekicks to Fairfield Parlour zenith, while ongoing new releases from founding singer-songwriter Peter Daltrey prove some creative wells never run dry. Call it British psychedelia's best-kept secret—emphasis on "best."
