THE DEEJAYS – Haze (Hep House, 1967)

  
English vocals
International relevance: *

Mentioned in the postscript of ”The Encyclopedia Of Swedish Progressive Music”, which is the only reason why I feature them here. But unless you're a die-hard fan of mid 60s beat music, you could pass on this album – if it wasn't for the final track. ”Striped Dreams Checked Fear” is marvellous slice of top level Euro psych. A better way to check it out however is through volume one of the ”Who Will Buy These Wonderful Evils” series.

The Deejays was in fact a British band active in Sweden, and they had another album out the year before, plus numerous singles between 1964 and 1968. They had a few more decent tracks, but none can compete with ”Striped Dreams Checked Fear”.

Full album
or go straight to "Striped Dreams Checked Fear".
There's also an extended version of it.
