Tangerine Dream is excellent trip music. The album 'Force Majeure' is particularly good..;)

Oh yea! Good one. If you want to really be blown away to another plane of reality, listen to TD's classic PHAEDRA on a trip. Oh my fucking god. First time I played that tripping it took me like 10 minutes sitting in the silence to remember what, who, where I was LOL!

Klaus Schulze of TD has done dozens of solo records. Two recent ones that kind of combine ultra spacey tripiness, mellow floaty beats, and worldmusic sounds, both with some 15-20 minute epic journey style tracks are:

Moonlake
Crime of Suspense (try track Good Old 4 On The Floor especially... really spectacular... all good tho)

Here's the whole track "Good Old 4 On The Floor" for you-all's enjoyment:

Since my first acid trip ever was the same evening that I listened to the first King Crimson album, I do have a soft spot for them.

I remember a stupified inter-dimensional mushroom peak while Tangerine Dream's Cyclone screamed at me at a very high volume through a killer music system many years ago.

Yes is usually pretty cosmic on psychedelics.

Nowadays I'm big into jazz and still like some fusion like Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra, so I imagine I will enjoy them all the more under the influence.
 
D.Hoover good call about Close to the Edge by Yes... I agree. Dark Side of the Moon for shrooms is perfect imo. Todd Rundgren released an underrated Lp its surprising.. Its called A Wizard and a True Star.
 
"Shine, Shine, The Light of Good Work Shines!"

Yea King Crimson. All great trip music. So fucking majestic it's unreal.

I especially love Starless and Bible Black album. From whence comes the utterly flattening "The Night Watch", which is about a Rembrandt painting, and has one of the most oblitteratingly intense instrumental buildup openings that eventually breaks into lyrics with great melodies in the voice and all the instruments... very dynamic and multi overlapping parts and sections, very complex like a symphony in 4:40... The section where the buildup which has held one solid shimmering sparkling blazing note the whole time has these two falling notes at 0:45 just kills me through to the vocal & almost makes me break down in tears every time. And just touches like the suddenly quiet little guitar/bass interweaving counterpart fugue at 1:57, glorious! The choral "Wah Oo Wah Oh Wah Oh" figures entering at 3:05 behind Fripp's mindblowing guitar solo... soooo emotional!

If you never heard this classic work of utter genius song check it out:

That really made me feel some incredibly deep shit when a friend played it for me tripping. Still does, even sober. Pure genius, IMHO.

PS Carbon Unit: check out the info on KTU couple posts above, featuring KC guys... really amazing records, you should love em!

Oh yea, tron, Todd R is great, always one of my faves... yea Wizard And A True Star is great, just wonderful tripping.

Lessee... another underrated classic that is just soooo wonderous and moving tripping is Patrick Moraz (from Yes) and "The Story of I". If you never heard that you guys gotta look into it. Read some reviews hear some samples and I bet you'll be intrigued enough to go get it and trip to it sometime... really trippy music and a really intense album-long sci-fi story hold it all together. Just great great stuff.

Check out this really really psychedelic opening, one of the wildest ever IMO... totally blows your head off if you're tripping:

Unavailable for years, it can now be had for download online... get eMusic's 25 free tracks for a trial membership, they have it there (I'm NOT a spammer! I just really like the place and wish to inform people where to get something nice for free)... if you have a friend who is already a member, have them send you an invite from them and you get 50 free, then if you decide to stay and join (for as low as $6.99/month) the friend gets 50 free... then you can share by trading login/pw... so that's 100 mp3s for $3 each! Not too shabby!

Orbital everything they have ever done, start at the beginning.
They never let you down.
 
the sound of leaves blowing through trees, birds singing, insects chirping. nothing makes me trip out more than the energies of millions of life forms around me.

nothing with lyrics (except some metal maybe, but the vocals are more an instrument than spoken word) as lyrics tend to ground me to reality too well

Oh YES! God how could I fail to mention them, thanks!

Orbital are awesome trip music. Saw these guys live a couple times, always in small clubs, and it was clear EVERYONE there was on something, and the atmosphere turned into a big group-mind mental orgy!

Double album "InSides" is one of the trippiest. Really really stunning and psychedelic!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Sides

The huge two part 24 minute-long electro-symphony "Out There Somewhere" is mind-blowing!

The album spent 12 weeks in the UK charts in 1996, and reached a high of #5 the week of its release.[5] By late May 2006, over 60,000 copies of the album had been sold.[5]
The album was also included in British music magazine Melody Maker's, end-of-year, best albums / singles retrospective.
Publication Country Accolade Year Rank
Melody Maker United Kingdom "Albums of the Year"[8] 1996 31
NME United Kingdom "1996 NME Albums"[9] 1996 3
Mixmag United Kingdom "Best of 1996"[10] 1996 3
The album was also included in Q magazines "90 Best albums of the 1990s".[11]
The single "The Box" alsoy made NME's Best singles of 1996 list coming in at number 5.[12]

I also REALLY love the album "Middle of Nowhere". So smooth and epic, its really incredible!

Check out the opening track, "Way Out"... the huge booms, the theremin, the trumpet, the wordless vocals... like James Bond in another galaxy or somethiing!

I grok your assessment of Night Watch 100% ... something about the composition of that tune, so timeless and soul touching... beautiful indeed... Book of Saturdays gets me like that too.

Thanks for the heads up on KTU I will pick it up for sure.

If you haven't heard it, there's a project put out by Fripp and his wife called Sunday All Over The World, the album Kneeling at the Shrine has some great artsy KC type music on it. Trey Gunn has a Warr riff on the tune Blood Bruise Tattoo that just kills. http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=9610
