Their previous band The Leepers were a promising mod revival act, but by the turn of the new decade many of that scene\u2019s prime movers were embracing more lysergic sounds (see The Jam, Squire, and Purple Hearts). The Leepers becoming Le Mat indicated something else. Their very Dickensian style extended the late \u201960s ruffles and frock coat look into an adjacent style to the New Romantics that exemplified something of a \u201cpsychedelic movement\u201d. Their music went further too, with violin and gothic sensibilities, plus they supported Duran Duran.<\/p>\n<p>That 1980 was just 13 years on from the psychedelic revolution says a lot. Sure, there was a lot of nostalgia for that carefree era, but punks like The Damned and The Undertones, Siouxsie &amp; The Banshees and The Stranglers embraced the music in a non-revivalist fashion. Private press oddball, the high-voiced American Bobb Trimble hadn\u2019t even left the \u201960s, The Soft Boys were imperiously Syd, and electronic music maverick Nick Nicely reconfigured the mindset of \u2018I Am The Walrus\u2019 for the synth era.<\/p>\n<p>By the mid-80s, synth-pop had become corporate (with once great act OMD embarrassingly covering \u2018The Locomotion\u2019) and the colossal Stock Aitken Waterman began to take the charts by storm with their manufactured, production-line hit machine. However, contrary to that, emerging indie-pop bands in love with The Byrds and The Velvet Underground, all-out \u201960s garage\/psych obsessives, and, by the end of the decade, Tears For Fears\u2019 \u2018Sowing The Seeds Of Love\u2019 and the arrival of The Stone Roses, whose love of \u201960s psych and mop-tops paved the way for the decidedly retrospective outlook that would follow, showed how the influence endured.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201980s was close enough to the \u201960s to be a through-line. There were many cutting-edge innovations in technology, yet music was still predominantly analogue, and the classic guitar, bass, keyboard lineup the norm. Throughout the decade the boundary breaking notion of psychedelia loomed large \u2013 acid-house was a countercultural revolution on par with The Summer Of Love. It was an era which birthed both genuinely modern music, revived the past, and changed consensus. Psychedelia was a constant.<\/p>\n<span class=\"synved-social-container synved-social-container-share\"><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F7411&#038;t=EXCLUSIVE%20SHINDIG%21%20QOBUZ%20PLAYLIST%20%2328%3A%20COLLIDING%20MINDS%20%E2%80%93%20THE%20EFFECT%20OF%20PSYCHEDELIA%20ON%20THE%201980s&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F7411&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F12%2FScreenshot-2025-12-17-at-14.10.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=EXCLUSIVE%20SHINDIG%21%20QOBUZ%20PLAYLIST%20%2328%3A%20COLLIDING%20MINDS%20%E2%80%93%20THE%20EFFECT%20OF%20PSYCHEDELIA%20ON%20THE%201980s\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F7411&#038;text=New%20post%20on%20our%20site\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=EXCLUSIVE%20SHINDIG%21%20QOBUZ%20PLAYLIST%20%2328%3A%20COLLIDING%20MINDS%20%E2%80%93%20THE%20EFFECT%20OF%20PSYCHEDELIA%20ON%20THE%201980s&#038;body=New%20post%20on%20our%20site:%20https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F7411\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re very excited to be media partners with the truly unique online streaming platform and download store\u00a0Qobuz.
