Editing Nirvana (British band) (section)

==Musical styles and techniques==
The group were in the school of baroque-flavoured, [[melody|melodic]] pop-rock music typified by [[the Beach Boys]] of ''[[Pet Sounds]]'' and "[[God Only Knows]]", [[the Zombies]] of ''[[Odessey and Oracle]]'' and "[[Time of the Season]]". The majority of the tracks on Nirvana's albums fell into the broad genre of contemporary [[popular music]], sometime described as chamber strand of [[progressive rock]], [[soft rock]] or orchestral pop and chamber pop.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://docteurorlof.wordpress.com/2011/02/01/nirvana-travelling-on-a-cloud-island-196769/ | title=Nirvana – Travelling on a Cloud (Island, 1967/69) | date=February 2011 }}</ref>

The Nirvana song "Rainbow Chaser" is thought to be the first-ever British recording to feature the [[audio signal processing|audio effect]] known as phasing or [[flanging]] throughout an entire track, as distinct from occasionally within a song such as the [[Small Faces]] in "[[Itchycoo Park]]". Phasing was, by 1967, identified with [[psychedelic music|psychedelia]], and "Rainbow Chaser" achieved number 34 in [[UK Singles Chart]] during May 1968.<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums"/>
