Psychotropia

Psychotropia is the debut album by English psychedelic musician Nick Nicely, first released as an LP by Tenth Planet in 2003 and as a CD by Castle Music in 2004. Nicely had started fusing psychedelic and electronic music in the late 1970s, and in the early 1980s he released two singles, "DCT Dreams" and "Hilly Fields". While the singles were critically acclaimed, they were commercial failures, which partly contributed to Nicely's retirement from the public eye shortly after. While his works were being praised by several of his contemporaries, he continued to record material into the mid-1980s, and then again in the late 1990s. As interest in Nicely's work increased in the 2000s, Psychotropia was released with help from compiler David Wells, containing his early 1980s material along with unreleased tracks, digitally remastered by Nicely. While some categorise the album as a compilation, Nicely regards Psychotropia to be a studio album that just took a great deal of time to record. The original version of the album was a limited edition LP released by Wells through his Tenth Planet imprint, followed by an extended CD edition from Castle Music in 2004.
