Drugs and Music[MEGA MERGED]

[rat tat tat tat]

Velvet Underground is the obvious choice.

 

[WSB15]

I second Elliott Smith
For some reason I always like The Beatles on opiates too

 

[goa]

neil young, some black sabbath

 

[jml0423]

dj tiesto - walhalla or as the rush comes

if your not into trancishh stuff

umm i like comfortably numb and horse with no name
but im sure thats nothin new

 

[Baker]

I know its been said before
but aphex twin for me is the master of dissociative music

 

[sixpartseven]

try the EP+2 album by mogwai.

better opiate music ive yet to hear.

 

[drug_wench]

pink floyd, totally

 

[Tad R Fitzsimmions]

elliott and velvet undergrounda are both good choices. but its up to you. just listen to whatever you like. lately ive been playin pariah caste and old hanoi cehvrolet while i boot up and during the duration of the high. but ch'all prolly never heard of them. it local emo/indie/punk rock. really good shit.

 

[somnifile86]

vu is good. it's also nice to hear some iggy pop and david bowie every now and then.

 

[MzAnthroP]

i always favor hardcore or punk or metal... stuff that will get me excited about the forthcoming rush. but it really doesn't matter. I don't find that opiates really increase enjoyment of music. sometimes music actually just pisses me off.

I remember megalomaniac by incubus was on the radio the first time i shot up.

Cafe del Mar...relaxing, positive, uplifting...
Hooverphonic...I call it "heroine jazz"

Cafe del Mar is a compilation disc taken from a bar in Ibiza. Ultra Smooth sound... Here is a link:

http://www.ibiza-spotlight.com/night/cafe_del_mar_i.htm

"One of the reasons for the amazing success of this bar are the excellent chillout albums which have been released annually since 1994, pioneering the chillout genre at the time of the first release. There have since been many imitators, but only one true Café del Mar..."

Music? Man, if you take enough it won't matter what's on cause you'll just zone out..... But if anything's on I'd go for some Pink Floyd.

 

[RollinJ]

Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed you! black emperor, Massive Attack, M83, Elliot Smith, Menomena, Modest Mouse, The Notwist, Pink Floyd, Solar Fields, Sonic Youth, Thievery Corporation, Wilco, and finally Zero 7

 

[droptech]

^that... and Boards of Canada

 

[goatofthenever]

Irish folk

 

[human]

the dandy warhols. songs like "I love you", "godless", "mohammed", "nietzsche", "sleep", "heavenly", "the dope", "love is the new feel awful", et al.

 

[null_null]

idm/electronica, jazz, funk, 70ies rock

 

[sixpartseven]

Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed you! black emperor, Massive Attack, M83, Elliot Smith, Menomena, Modest Mouse, The Notwist, Pink Floyd, Solar Fields, Sonic Youth, Thievery Corporation, Wilco, and finally Zero 7

couldnt agree more.

i think its ironic that the first four bands you listed are the 4 bands i mainly listen to when high.

 

[Roger&Me]

If you like rap, particularily screwed & chopped, then From the South by Z-Ro is the ultimate opiate song. Download it and you'll see what I'm talking about.
