The Velvet Underground circa Candy says are great for tripping

Sound Tribe Sector 9, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Mike Slott, to name a few. Anything that is for the most part electronic and mellow, but also contains some improvisational vibes.

A blend of punk, reggae, blues, powerpop... this is one fierce record. Musically deeply multilayered and surprisingly intensely melodic, by turns crunchy, passionate, blistering, soaring, tender, ecstatic and back again. Whoa, a feat of composition and musicianship unparalleled and unequaled by anyone since, totally unique and totally addictive... I guarantee once you hear this you will be obsessed with playing it over and over trying to figure out just how these 3-4 minute slices of musical perfection manage to grab you and make you feel so many things so strongly and completely.
While not the usual mellowness one might expect from a tripping tunes list, this one will make your scalp tingle and your hair stand on end, and you will come out of it with a fierce determination to use every ounce of your positive karma and inner warrior to battle the evil meemies of the planet and spread the vibe of cosmic love power.
eMusic and many other places have enough in their samples to fascinate and hook you with only 30-60 seconds... check it out and I'm sure you will HAVE to get the full record. And then you will wonder how you lived without it. It's that good, kids.

Is cliche for a reason
THIS.
Just last friday I tripped on some several hundred micrograms of LSD and found The Dark Side of the Moon to be sublimating

Oh yes, Eno/Byrne - My Life In The Bush of Ghosts. I must have listened to that 500 times tripping my brains out that summer of 1979 when that friend sold me 100 genuine Orange Sunshine teeny tiny microdots.
Lets see also from that era:
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
goes without saying
Plus all the classic Genesis prog-rock soaring ultra masterpieces... essential tripping accompaniment... any mind that has not heard these all at least several times flying on 250mcg clean real LSD laying eyes closed in a dark room with headphones on, well, frankly, is not complete:
Trespass
Nursery Cryme ("The Musical Box"... really really trippy)
Foxtrot ("Supper's Ready"... classic psychedlic epic in the extreme)
Selling England By The Pound ( "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight", "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)", "Firth of Fifth", "Cinema Show")
on Selling England By the Pound, from Wikipedia:
Theme
Retaining the pastoral yearning for ancient or medieval England as its primary thematic material, the album focuses on traces of this past in the present. Songs about England's mythological past ("Dancing With the Moonlit Knight") co-exist with sketches of contemporary lawnmowers ("I Know What I Like"), and the centrepiece of the second side, the epic "Cinema Show", has two lovers serve as reincarnations of ancient Greek figures, drawing on elements from "The Fire Sermon", the 3rd section from T. S. Eliot's long poem The Waste Land.
Sound and live performance
The musical performances are much more polished and tight than on the preceding LPs. Musical diversions are more often unified into the general song structure. In particular, Steve Hackett's guitar solos in "Firth of Fifth" show his unique voice on guitar at its best, while the song opens with a highly structured classically inspired piano-instrumental by Banks. As with previous efforts, unusual time signatures and shifts in key and pace continue as key structural devices, and while these formal aspects are no less present on this album, they often serve to support the general melodies of the songs, rather than dominate them. In fact, this album in general shows a focus on melody as the structural unifying force of the songs, as opposed to having the music centre around Gabriel's vocal and lyrical forays.
The album contains many pieces that would become central to Genesis' live act for years to come, particularly "Firth of Fifth" and "Cinema Show," both of which use short lyrical sketches to frame extended instrumental compositions. Along with "The Battle of Epping Forest," a song based upon a gangland brawl yet full of references to the squabbles for the English countryside of the far removed past, songs such as "Firth of Fifth" and "The Cinema Show" make prominent use of Tony's recently acquired ARP Pro Soloist, marking the first use of a synthesiser on any Genesis recording. "Firth of Fifth" has continued to be included in Genesis live sets, but Tony Banks' piano introduction has not been included in a performance since 1974, in a Drury Lane Theatre concert, when Banks misplayed and Phil Collins covered by starting the song from after the intro. Compositionally, "The Cinema Show" provides the climax for the album's second side, starting off with Rutherford and Hackett's trademark intertwining acoustic guitars, providing the backdrop for mythological lyrics, and leading to a long-form synthesiser solo by Banks in which Gabriel and Hackett played no part; during live performances, they both left the stage for this section. This anthemic solo section would later form the melodic centrepiece of the extended instrumentals at the core of the band's 'Cage Medley' (a combination of song excerpts that Genesis would perform live years after it had stopped performing other songs from the '70s), demonstrating Banks' increasing role as one of the band's primary songwriters.
Ending with the reprise of motifs from the start of the album, "Aisle of Plenty" mournfully brings the album full circle to where it began - nostalgia for old England. The album also produced the shorter track "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)", which became Genesis' first single to receive any sort of chart action, hitting #21 in the UK in April 1974.[1]

I love trip-hop when I'm on ketamine but when on actual psychedelics I like either rock or hiphop/rap.
Whilst tripping the other day my friend put one of The Kooks' albums on. I'm not usually a fan personally but it was really nice.
Btw, if anyone is in to trip-hop check out the album Kruder & Dormeister - The K & D Sessions. Very nice range of trip-hop/chilled out music, perfect for a nice night in with some fresh ketamine :D

Big YES! to Ozric Tentacles! They have lots of records that do start to sound the same after a while, but lately they went all electronic, no real acoustic instruments I hear.... still it's very good sounding. So multilayered, multicultural and visionary
My favorite is still Jurassic Shift... the song transitions and live flute and guitar are brilliant. The slow rolling epic majestic percussion of "Half Light In Thillai" is out there enough to cause you to see mountains floating in the sky, buzzed or straight!
"The Hidden Step" is also one of their more impressive outings, IMO.
Their techno offshoot Eat Static is also really psychedelic, if a bit on the goofy side, if the fast pounding stuff is more to your liking.

Lets see what else, oh yea... King Crimson fans take note:
Another gem is Ktu, including 2 members from King Crimson, and this crazy Finnish electric accordion player! Their Live debut CD Eight Armed Monkey is just crazy nuts mashup at times ("Absinthe"), everything going wild but still holding together, then BOOM/WHOOSH you're in Bali, then in a quiet soaring orbit, then BAM back into the churning chaotic volcano once again... wild! even more is amazing is that 4 guys did this LIVE... how the hell??? Somehow, and after hearing you will be glad they did!
The studio album "Quiver" is a bit more orderly, but still wickedly impressive and a thing of chaotic passionate beauty to behold.

If you are a King Crimson fan, then this is right up your alley. The grooves from Pat Mastelotto flow great with Kimmo Pohjonen's accordion playing. The best part is Trey Gunn playing the Warr guitar. Can never can get enough of that fantastic instrument. The band seem to of found their footing with this release.
"I like it."
DigMe from Waco, TX
Long-time King Crimson fan here. This is something very different and enjoyable for fans of Gunn and Mastelotto. I love the accordian mixed with the Warr guitar and power prog drumming.
"GREAT STUFF"
Gilgamesh
My favourite of all Mastelotto's 'TU' outfits and probably the best Crimson spin off band in existence. Heavy space age prog-industrial-accordion jams mixed with delicate lyrical touches- if you enjoyed eight armed monkey download without delay, or even if you have no idea what I'm talking about download without delay. This is music from the fifth dimension. Embrace it, and enjoy.

Trey Gunn on Warr guitar, Pat Mastelotto on drums and electronics and Kimmo Pohjonnen on accordion...the follow-up to their 2004 debut.
