Their Satanic Majesties Request

Released in 1967, Their Satanic Majesties Request finds the Rolling Stones embracing psychedelic experimentation, blending rock with psychedelic pop, baroque touches and studio-driven, experimental production. The record uses layered instrumentation, Mellotron and orchestral and brass colorings alongside more conventional rock arrangements, producing both whimsical pop moments like "She's a Rainbow" and spacey, effects-driven pieces such as "2000 Light Years from Home". The album represents a deliberate detour into late 1960s psychedelia before the band moved back toward a more roots-oriented sound.
