i find that any Israeli trance can be very trippy..

Rebirth is a program that lets you play 1,000s of songs for free and each song is only like 25kb.. many, many of these .rbs songs are trippy! Rebirth is free because it was discontinued after years of service in the music industry - www.rebirthmuseum.com

MOD songs are another free source of VERY trippy music - they are 'modules' - they contain patterns (the score) and a set of samples (the instruments) - these songs are all free ranging between 50kb and 3mb or so - smaller than MP3, but they can be higher quality.. get the player at www.xmplay.com - and get mods at places like www.scene.org - www.modarchive.com - some of the links on this page are dead, but the ones that work are GREAT!! - http://www.goatrance.de/goacidia/goacidia/SOUNDS.html

www.traxinspace.com is another source of very cool music direct from the artists.. psychedelic/goa trance and acid included..

i was just listening to Electric Universe - anything by them is very psychedelic.. Scooter is an awesome european techno act into the psych vibe for sure.. Infected Mushroom, Shpongle, Antiloop, Ministry of Sound Trance Nation 2 i find to be trippy.. Astral Projection..

i make music myself - sometimes on psychedelics.. www.noahcohn.com

Your name doesn't happen to be in reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, does it?
 
hmm ill skip the well known ones pink floyd Shpongle etc

But one of the more interesting bands ive heard whilst tripping is Diablo Swing Orchestra

Fucking weird something along the lines of a 1940s swing band come back as zombies with electric guitars. ;)
 
Tool - Lateralus
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
King Crimson - Red - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Frank Zappa
Thievery Corporation
Primus is also ridiculously hilarious when tripping!

I don't know how popular the band "Balkan Beat Box" is?? Maybe some of you have heard of them, but I saw them at a local festival a couple years ago and they're really good party music.

also this thread should probably be moved to the music on psyches thread
 
no one here said anything about aliens from the beetlejuice galaxy - they simply do not exist!! ;) Ford Prefect is a perfectly normal humon name..!!
 
An obvious one, the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's album. I listened to the entire album the other night while I was tripping on some very quality acid. A nice few hours!
 
my favourites:
Download - Furnace
Download - The Eyes of Stanley Pain
Coil - Astral Disaster
Download - Effector
Coil - Bee Stings
Coil - Amethyst Deceivers
Time Machines - Persistence is All
cEvin Key - Music for Cats
Coil - Windowpane and The Snow
Black Light District - Thousand Lights in a Darkened Room
ELpH vs Coil - Worship the Glitch
Coil - Love's Secret Domain
Colleen - Les Ondes Silencieuses
Colleen - Everyone Alive Wants Answers

(i usually spend most of my time on psychedelics listening to musick (not as background but listening and not doing anything else), so i listed only the best stuff not to flood the thread:)
 
Spirit-12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus is my favourite album to trip to, closely followed by Forever Changes by Love.
Other than that, anything by those two artists or Cream, The Quintessence, Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding company, Funkadelic, The Doors, The Beatles, or Jimi Hendrix is good.
And don't forget the Dead obviously ;)

Grateful Dead - Fillmore West 1969 - The Complete Recordings
 
^Definitely agree. :) Less overtly psychedelic music, but the band was in absolutely fine form.

Have you heard 5/4/72 from the Olympia theater in Paris? A lot of Europe '72 is taken from that show. Haha, its actually the show where Donna was so spun out on LSD that she laid down under Keith's piano in the middle of the second set and forgot that she was at a concert, much less supposed to be singing in one haha :D
 
Some thoughts:
Unless you are organised and have set up a good playlist, it's good to have an album that you can leave on withouthaving to fanny about choosing the next tracks etc.
No one's mentioned King Crimson 'Islands' - A crazy treat lasting about 45mins.
Someone mentioned Miles Davis. Specifically - I recomend 'Bitches Brew' for some far outness, and 'In a silent Way' for later chillage. Oh and you can't go wrong with 'Kind of Blue' for melancholy beauty.
A favorite psychedelic soundtrack I recomend is that of 'Performance'. The film is a gem to my mind too.
Jimi Hendrix Woodstock set is always a treat. He was a beautiful dude.
Try some Moodyman/Kenny Dixon Junior - the Black Mahogani LP is worth a go.
I like the Gilles Peterson Radio 1 show aswell - gives you old/new/exotic/world/soul/jazz and helps keep a retro head like me down wid da kids.
Your mileage may vary - peace Pipp
 
Ah, so far so good... Tool, Pink Floyd, and Shpongle I've already gotten into (shpongle thanks to Swilow, I think, in the pd social thread <3 )... and I was think the grateful dead would be good, too.

Also, thanks for the move, I searched for a thread like this, but apparently didn't do a very good job.

If you're just getting into the Grateful Dead some of their more popular songs to check out first are:

Friend of the Devil
Casey Jones
Truckin'
Scarlet Begonias (Sublime covered this one)

These are a good place to start, then check out some of their live jam recordings!
 
Phish is a perennial fave of mine, listening to a live show & zoning out is always fun. I've recently been listening to a lot of late 60s-70s prog rock, King Crimson, Rush, Yes, etc. They're all certainly fun on psych's. Another personal fave is Steely Dan... always goes down smooth... I've also gotten into a bit of what i suppose could be called semi-electronic music, things like STS9, Boombox, etc... that can definitely be fun under the right circumstances. Then of course you've got the psychedelic era classics: Hendrix(new stuff coming out in march!!) The Beatles, Zep, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead (may '77 shows rock!)... I'm sure all these have been listed before. I'm also a bit partial to jazz, got a great miles davis & john coltrane box set, definitely can set a really chilled out mood. As for more modern jazz, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe & Greyboy allstars are badass. Those guys & Medeski, Martin, & Wood define the genre "acid jazz" for me, definitely worth checkin out.
 
grateful dead is good and all, but i never really got into them whiel on pscyhes. mainly because they are so laid back, and im into more distorted guitars and wild solos ala jimi hendrix.
