Peter Pan & The Good Fairies - Kaleidoscope (mp3, 1967)

Discovered this fantastic psych-slice via the ridiculously great music blog Office Naps. This is what DJ Little Danny said to draw me in and make me click that button...

Welcome, strangers, to the chilly, rarified reaches of the stratosphere. There’s no oxygen up here, just the shimmering cosmos and harpsichords and fuzzboxes criss-crossing like satellites.

There are no guitars here, either. As a pure studio concoction, the question of what a group named “Peter Pan & the Good Fairies” might have looked like in performance is gracefully eliminated as well. The futuristic “Kaleidoscope” was in reality the brainchild of Jim “Jimmy” Gordon, a session bassist (I believe) who recorded a few other ‘60s instrumental freakouts on the Challenge label.

This gem was released in 1967.


There's a wealth of rare madness on Office Naps, I strongly advise a rummage.
