Recently heard this in a film and was reminded of how much I like it’s timeless sound…

Silver Apples - Lovefingers(1968)(Geffen)

[Verse 1]
Mellow is the yellow sun
Waving sunbeams in the air
Weaving golden spells that run
Magic fingers through my hair
Magic fingers through my hair

[Verse 2]
Green the sea that unfolds waves
Salty carpets flung on land
Foamy fingers seek out caves
Where lovers lie upon the sand
Where lovers lie upon the sand

[Verse 3]
Red the lips from which I sup
Rubies from the fleshy bowl
Fingers reach inside to cup
My heart and knead my love to soul
My heart and knead my love to soul

[Verse 1]
Mellow is the yellow sun
Waving sunbeams in the air
Weaving golden spells that run
Magic fingers through my hair
Magic fingers through my hair
Magic fingers through my hair

[Verse 3]
Red the lips from which I sup
Rubies from the fleshy bowl
Fingers reach inside to cup
My heart and knead my love to soul
My heart and knead my love to soul
Fingers reach inside to cup
My heart and knead my love to soul
My heart and knead my love to soul
My heart and knead my love to soul
My heart and knead my love to soul

Before now the only SA tracks I had heard (or at least downloaded) were these, which I dig

Seagreen Serenades [media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MppO7KuI0g0]

Oscillations [media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HTOmW-fJ_4]

Speaking of late 60s electronica in general, I also like this:

Gershon Kingsley | Popcorn [media=https://youtu.be/bjT7ECeCKO0?t=27]

... which in turn leads to liking this surf cover by a Russian band

There was a time when I was all about the psychedelic 😵‍💫, rock of course 😌😉. lol
I still enjoy me some pink Floyd but I’ve mellowed over time . Not sure exactly what enjoy anymore with this new age stuff .
Guess I’ll go put on some 70’s something 😀
