If we're talking about the most psychedelic album of modern times, then I reckon the work of producer Simon Posford has to come into the equation. I don't know if anyone here is familiar with his work under the names of Hallucinogen and Shpongle, but basically it's the most tripped out electronic music imaginable. Coming from the Gong / Ozrics / Orb school of mind warping madness this guy has produced some amazing stuff over the last few years. Check out the Shpongle lps 'Are you Shpongled' and the new one 'Tales of the Inexpressible' and Hallucinogen's 'the Lone Deranger' for further proof. Kind of hybrid electronic / folk / dub / trance type stuff, but far more emotive and well, generally further out than most.
Plus he seems to be based in Wiltshire. Must be something in the water...
