WT*? Mikko, are you sure you're not Russian? (I'm kidding, ok? K-I-D-D-I-N-G...)
Balinese gamelan music is meant to be 'hypnotic', with part of the goal being to facilitate the dancers (and various members of the village 'audience') entering trance so as to be able to convey information from the ancestors to the present generation. Interestingly, the Balinese are completely down on psychotropic drugs, considering them to be 'black magic'...an attitude that most anthropologists trace back to the 19th century priesthood-led cultural response to the European empires' dumping of opium on Asian cultures they wanted to subdue.
(Also worth noting: Balinese musicians have a strict ethic of avoiding entering trance themselves as they play...their job is to prop open the 'doors between the worlds' so others can move through.)

This seems like a pretty good list to me, but I would add Arthur Lee's Love, Spirit, the Blues Magoos, and Clear Light. Tom

"I can hear the Grass Grow" is totally psychedelic. Pop psych, if anything..
