The rough guide to Latin psychedelia

"While Los Destellos seem to have a small cult following and probably deserve the full reissue treatment, they fill up a second disc (and one track on the first) for a pretty transparent reason: of all the groups represented here, they're easily the most similar to the jammy, trippy-but-mellow strand of the standard American psychedelia that us North Americans are so used to - particularly the Californian/Grateful Dead strand ... But that's okay, because they're a solid group, often instrumental, with some particularly sitar-like electro-buzzings of wah-wah guitar ... Mind-expanding? In a subtle way, yeah. Entertaining? Certainly. Wistful and summery? Oh, you'd better believe it".
