Kaleidoscope (US Psych) - Full Discography (1967-1991) (David Li torrent

The complete discography of the American psych group, Kaleidoscope. Once referred to by Jimmy Page (of Led Zeppelin of course) as \"my favorite band\"... Legend has it that Mr. Page copped the idea of playing his guitar with a violin bow from the man, David Lindley himself...
Here you\'ll find not only the six albums they recorded through the years, but also bonus material, everything that\'s turned up on CD plus a couple of goodies. In short, everything they recorded that\'s out there you\'ll find here. I could tell you all about these guys, but I will let their music speak for them...

So now without further ado...

\"Their music? It\'s inventive, imaginative, intense and an amalgam of many divergent influences- sounds that range from old-time ragtime blues to exotic, drone-and-bells, minor keyed music of Greece and Turkey. It\'s music that is offbeat, far-out. You\'ll just have to listen ! \" - Arnold Shaw, from liner notes to album.
