The Big & Dandy Music on Psychedelics Thread (Track #1)

[Bardeaux]

Man, you are all into some whack shit!

I just listen to jimi hendrix live at woodstock and pretend im a hippie, at woodstock.

I listened to jimi in like the 6th grade. Still good stuff every once in awhile though.

 

[rutterback]

love me some jimi...have heard most of his songs too many times tho..

Favorite Trip Music

so whats everyone's favorite music/songs to trip to and why?


i'm looking to expand my playlist. personally, i lean more towards classic rock but am open to anything.. a few of my favorites bands are the beatles, zeppelin, tool, neil young, allman brothers, some hendrix.. but i have hundreds of songs from random artists on my trip list as well. all suggestions welcome!

 

[nativenick]

i looove classic rock when im tripping
old school funk is really good too tho shit by parliament funkadellic, james brown, zapp and roger.

mothership connection by parliament funkadellic is a good track

if you like underground/alternative hip hop. deltron 3030 is a really awsome group there 1 and only self titled album is really good . its a hip hop album but its really different than typical rap its basically a sci fi concept album where del tha funkee homosapien raps about living in the year 3000. the beats and production on the album is stellar thanks to dan the ottomator and dj kid koala. like every song has an amzing beat and story to it. when i first started blazing i always bumped this album it has a psycedellic feel to it

boards of canada is real trippy stuff. its electronica but its very different from most stuff it has an ambient psychedelic quality to it it times there shit is very serene and peaceful other times its just down right eerie.

a is to b as b is to c , ROYGBIV, iced cooly, and aquarius, are good songs by boards of canada

aphex twin and intfected mushroom are really good electronica artists

converting vegetarians is probably my favourite infected mushroom song

RJD2 is also another good artist to listen to hs produces lots of hip hop artists but has done some awsome solo work too
1976, ghost writer and a space ship for now are good tracks

Gets good from 50 seconds onwards.

 

[SpecialK_]

Chemical Brothers, Surrender. One of the only albums I consider essential to listen to at some point throughout a persons time period of tripping, such a beautiful happy album while tripping. Gave me really strong thoughts of happiness and childhood.

 

[lightitup]

Grateful Dead. There is a reason their music and acid go so fucking well together. I have had trips that consist entirely of their music, and WOW. Shit's complex, man.

Buuuuut, I realize everyone isn't such a huge dead fan. So other favorites are classic rock like Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Yes, or Rush. Sometimes I'll do other Jambands like String Cheese Incident, or Phish, but it's rare.

If I am not in that mood I will throw on Electronica. Really dig Sound Tribe Sector 9 and Pnuma Trio for the jamband-tronica. Ambient like Bluetech, Emancipator, edIT, Younger Brother is really great. BLASTING some dubstep such as Excision, Bassnectar, Datsik, Cookie Monsta and shit will really kick your trip up a notch haha.

 

[sarcophagus.heels]

I prefer tripping to electronic/trip-hop/industrial/etc type albums. My 3 all-time favorite albums to trip to are Mezzanine by Massive Attack, Dummy by Portishead, and Further Down the Spiral (a remix of The Downward Spiral) by Nine Inch Nails. All three of these are a bit dark and eerie, but I'll be damned if they don't make for a powerful trip.

 

[theotherside]

Tripping I like really soft stuff.......beatles/of montreal/the shins/apples in stereo/panda bear

 

[Roger&Me]

Grateful Dead: Complete Fillmore West Recordings, 1969

[Sega420]

hiphop. i mean that REAL shit.

none of this guns, gold, bitches, crack bullshit.
real smooth music, with really smooth, mind blowing lyricism over it.
talking about real shit. not "shooting fools in the gut and grabbin their slut,
slappin her butt, and callin her a mutt."

you know what i mean. im all about the chillin',
i do NOT want to be shouted at about death and crackdens when im melting.
i DO on the other hand want to be listening to some nice Exile instrumentals, or some really good,
early, A Tribe Called Quest, or some Madlib, Kool Keith, Cypress Hill, Moka Only,
Outkast, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Brand Nubian, Grand Puba, etc etc...
back when artists talked about intelligent stuff.

communities were more of a community than a place you needed to be afraid.
people were coming together for justice and change, all colours, creeds, nationalities. standing up for whats right and making a change.
funnily enough you never really hear good stuff anymore...

just listen to the beats and pay careful attention to the lyricism.
its all about chillin out and having a good time.
respecting your fellow humans and gettin' funky in the process


a "few" nice tracks that will give you an idea of what i mean;

• Love Lines.
  
• Reflection Eternal.
• After Hanabi.
  
• Passin' Me By.
  
• Drop.
  
• We've Got The Jazz.
  
• She Said.
  (the lyrics in this song are astounding)
  
• Gimme Some Mo'.
  (one of the opening lines, when he has money at the desk "capital lies"/capitalize.. thats what i mean by ill rhymes... )
  
• Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See.
  (you just dont see amazing videos like this anymore)
  
• Rhinestone Cowboy.
  
• My Trains.
  
• Yah.
  
• Holly Hoppin'.
  (the second part of this song, i LOVE the beat to it. Moka Only is some proper good Canadian hiphop)
  
• It's Neva Late.
  
• Summer Cupboards.
  (Ron Contour is Moka Only's alter ego, like quasimoto to Madlib)
  
• Fried Rice.
  
• It's Lowdown.
  
• And I Love Her.
  (amazing track that hit me deep when i heard it...)
  
• Fiesta.
  (all about chillin and having fun )
  
• Shine One.
  
• L.A Song.
  
• L.A Song (Sensitive Mix).
  
• Days Like These.
  
• Give Love A Chance.
  
• Carried Away.
  (turn up loud, close your eyes, and relax...)
  
• Interlude.
  (one of my favourite, smooth tracks of all time, its a shame its so short!)
  
• Latin Lingo.
  
• Wrappin' Up.
  
• Jazz Style.
  
• Luxury Rhyme.
  
• Come On Feet.
  
• Low Class Conspiracy.
  (madlib is the one with the normal voice. Quasimoto is his alter ego. he raps slow then speeds it up to get quasimoto's high pitched voice :D)
  
• Green Power.
  
• Fall In Love.
  
• 20 Questions / Whenimondamic.

I implore everyone to listen to those tracks! :D
hiphop, real hiphop, is all about the smoothness & chillin'...

give it a shot, you might love it!

 

[solistus]

Can't go wrong with Shpongle if you want some trippy electronica! They're definitely my top pick for DMT music. Psytrance and ambient electronica in general are great - Mogwai, The Album Leaf, Infected Mushroom, fun stuff.

Tool is in a class of its own. I've had more mind-blowing peaks to Reflection off Lateralus than probably any other song.

Intelligent hip-hop can be nice. Madlib/Quasimoto, People Under the Stairs, Gorillaz if I'm feeling silly... When I'm not tripping I listen to harder hip hop, mostly political stuff, but while tripping that has less appeal.

As for soft rock/alternative.... Who doesn't love The Dead? I'll toss in Modest Mouse, Animal Collective, Architecture in Helsinki and MGMT off the top of my head.

 

[willkell420]

for chill shit try: Tricky( Maxinquaye is my all-time favorite trip album), Portishead, Shulman, or Sphongle.

I have to agree with Sega420 about the Real hip-hop, so for hip-hop try: Gift of Gab, Qwel, Gravediggaz, Sonz of Man, Aesop Rock, Organized Konfusion, Killah Priest(Heavy Mental), Slow Suicide Stimulus, Pharoe monch, Tech n9ne, Blackalicious, Haiku D'etat, Oldominion, Chief Kamachi etc...

If you like rock: Tool, anything with Dax Riggs(Acid bath, Agents of Oblivion, Dead Boy and the ElephantMan, etc.),Neurosis, old Smashing Pumpkins, and of course Classic Rock from the 60's and early 70's.

 

[CatfishRivers]

I like to play music, mess around with synthesizers and guitars and what not when I trip for my music source for a large part of the night...

when I am not making music tho, I often turn to My Bloody Valentine, Tortoise, Brian Eno, Miles Davis, The Beach Boys, or whatever of the hundreds of new bands I rifle thru every couple months...lots of experimental music too like The Books, the boredoms, olivia tremor control, deerhoof, john oswald, lucky dragons, old school gensis or yes...there's really so many I can't list even a hand full without feeling the need to list a hundred at least...

there's two internet radio stations I will always check to see if something cool is playing too, and there usually is something cool on one or the other...

1) wfmu.org
2) spiritplants radio, http://spfradio.yage.net/

[rincewindrocks]

Psytrance
sometimes ill put on something else though...Gorillaz, NiN, Shpongle, Tool....dunno....I usually put on psytrance

although one of the best trips (even though it wasnt a full trip) was when i took a gram of mushies and was at a party, and this guy was spinning really super psychedelic DnB. I litterally just stood in front of the speaker.

 

[Carmella Boyle]

Depending on the trip Future Sound of London will lead to amazing CEVs if you can just let the music guide your thoughts. Just avoid The Darkness album. FSOL tends to have positive themes and lyrics (like the song below) which favour a mellow trip.

Every time my partner and I hear this song we get reminded of a very positive 2nd plateau DXM drip I had (for which she was a sitter). Nice mellow lay back and relax and let music guide thoughts/CEVs.

Probably will bore the shit out of anyone not wanting to chill.

Gorillaz and Nine Inch Nails deserve some attention also, excellent music especially for tripping.

 

[GratefulFloyd]

Grateful Dead, Yonder Mountain String Band, SCI, WP, Floyd, Modest Mouse, Umphrey's McGee, or Phish all work pretty good for me. The Dead is my preferrence though, I could trip and listen to the dead all day!
