I had a look at Jamendo to find something psychedelic and I confess I downloaded this apparently preposterous concept album of instrumentals about Ancient Egypt in order to poke fun at it. But I really enjoyed it, especially the opening track "Amun-Ra", which is awe-inspiring (albeit in a cheesy sort of way, a bit like the theme from "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy"), "Hamunaptra" and the funky "Jackal Of Isis". It isn't enormously original, and the some of the tracks go on too long (especially the 13 minute title track, which reminded me a bit of Pink Floyd's "A Saucerful Of Secrets"). But it is well worth listening to.
