No relation to the far better known American <a href="spotify:artist:16gYwSgslBoQ1b6wfxoHOF">Kaleidoscope</a>, though this British group was also psychedelic, and was active at almost exactly the same time in the late '60s. Highly esteemed by some collectors, <a href="spotify:artist:16gYwSgslBoQ1b6wfxoHOF">Kaleidoscope</a> epitomized certain of the more precious traits of British psychedelia with their fairy-tale lyrics and gentle, swirling folky sound. At times they sound like a far more melodic and accessible <a href="spotify:artist:0tQzBYPjAardhWpGkqVdNW">Incredible String Band</a>. Their folky ballads have aged best, and although there's some period charm to be found throughout their two albums, it's all a bit too cloying to rank among the finest unknown psychedelia. Although they had a solid underground reputation in Britain, they never found wide success, and evolved into a similar group, <a href="spotify:artist:3WKkKCkQy5zEZYXHuuess9">Fairfield Parlour</a>, by the end of the '60s. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
