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

Not open for further replies.
My List

-Sigur Ros
(Takk from track 3 on is perfect for a trip in my experience. When you are coming up the track Hoppípolla sets the perfect mood.)

-Tortoise - TNT
Probably my favorite tripping album of all time. Its near perfect.


-The Bouncing Souls - The Gold Record
I don't listen to much punk music at all, but lyrically and musically this is such an amazing and empowering record, I have to recommend it.

-Explosions in the Sky
'The Only Moment We're Alone' and 'Your Hand in Mine' feature some of the most beautiful guitar melodies I have ever heard. This is a very good band for tripping, but it can get intense at some parts.

-Tristeza
The album 'Dream Signals in Full Circles' is very nice instrumental rock. A fantastic album. Very dreamy and atmospheric.

-BT
I never really liked anything he had done before, but his new album "This Binary Universe" completely blew me away. The song "1.618" in particular is incredible! Every track also has a video on a DVD as well. I haven't watched it yet, so I can't really comment, but I think it would be quite the experience while tripping, especially in 5.1.

-Shpongle
Pretty obvious.

-Telefon Tel Aviv
Definitely the first album is the best. I think most shpongle/electronic music fans would really enjoy this. Lots of aural stimulation here.

-Rachel's
Some really beautiful classical/chamber music/post-rock. The album "Music for Egon Schiele" is the album I would probably recommend most. The songs "Second Self-Portrait Series", "Family Portrait", "Egon & Wally Embrace & Say Farewell", and "Wally, Egon, & Models In The Studio" are beautiful in ways beyond words, especially while tripping. Check out the comments on amazon about this album. This was a life-changing album for me at one point many years ago. I'm glad I just found it again.

-Wilco/Yo La Tengo/Seam/The Sea and Cake/Modest Mouse/Mogwai etc.


-Icaros and Mantras
Not really for recreational 'tripping', but certainly worth mentioning. Some of my most powerful experiences have involved listening to icaros and mantras.


-Brainwave entrainment/Jonathan Goldman/Dr. Jefferey Thompson/Awakened Minds etc.
Music that includes binaural beating/entrainment can be *extremely* effective when combined with psychedelics. Not really something to play around with unless you know what you are doing and understand the concepts involved.

-Classic Rock
The original trip music of the psychedelic revolution. I really love 'post-acid' Beatles and many other classic rock bands/songs.

-Classical music
Sometimes order and harmony can be a much needed and in these cases classical music is perfect. I think much of the early psychedelic research involved people laying down, with eye shades listening to classical music. Perhaps the ideal setting in a clinical sense.

The sound of David Gilmour's guitar puts me in a beautiful place...

destroyalldreamers!!!!

myspace.com/destroyalldreamers

"Glare/Halo extends the band's work in A Coeur Leger Sommeil Sanglant (2004) by delving deeper into the shoegaze pool of influence and coming up with buckets and buckets of ambient guitar drones and spacious guitar distortions. The inherent lack of boundaries present is so commanding that I propose we dub this spacegaze; Destroyalldreamers aren't bent on staring at their shoes, but rather, looking upwards towards the heavens."


in my eyes some of the best tripping music around,these guys on a large dosage of ketamine will really take you places....their sound is incredibly spacey and pretty,with massive amounts of reverb and effects...i highly,highly reccommend them to anybody who is a fan of godspeed you black emperor,mogwai,my bloody valentine,slowdive etc. etc. etc.

yeah and the sea and bells is a great album...just be really careful and dont listen to "the sirens" when trippign because the end of it is contains the scariest noises ive ever heard
 
I tend to lean towards electronic music when tripping. Some of my favorite artists to trip to are boards of canada, luke vibert, aphex twin and shpongle. The only real band I listen to when tripping is The Flaming Lips.
 
Too many variables.. Sometimes I'm tripping casually and want some hard music to peak it up, sometimes the abrasive stuff is just too much for the situation.

But, just about anything I listen to sober I'll listen to while tripping.

And sometimes you can't call the shots and we get stuck listening to crap like the Dead.. Sorry to you deadheads or whatever, but FUCK, I'm so tired of people replaying that crappy repetitive shit all the time. ;) And I think I would kill someone if I had to hear anymore fucking Widespread Panic while tripping, while sober, PERIOD.

yeah the dead are so unoriginal - they never changed up any of their tunes or improvised or anything...

Aww do I detect a bit of sarcasm?

I'll give you that, but if you don't care for them in the first place, it all sounds the same no matter the variations. But I'll say that I myself listen to a little music that seems to repeat itself, so I can't talk much. But at least it's not the dead ;)
 
sasha - airdrawndagger
a scanner darkly album
and any matthew good album when i'm outside enjoying a beautiful day trip
 
I'll listen to whatever's on, and although my favorite genre of music is rap/hip hop, I like to listen to shit like pink flyod, hendrix, grateful dead, jefferson airplane, the doors. I love that shit, reminds me of a better time, even though I wasn't there to see it.:(
 
The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood mac, The Beatles, Any live instrumentation, orchestra, some hip-hop depending on the beat choices and artist, some softer rock, and plenty of other things left to be discovered! :)
 
and i would one more time just like to echo everyone who said godspeed....+75859685684949..their music evokes the most apocalyptic vibes in me,and really works well with my trips,just envisioning cities burning and buildings crashing down and shit....lots of fun.....

another big part of my trips is the man,lorin bassnectar....his beats are just so right for the trippers mindstate... he rocked my worl dwhen i was on 4 aco dmt and mdma

also, a few months back I ate some decent shrooms and listened to Skylab #2 for the first time. Put it on right after Skylab #1 figuring it'd be more of the same good shit, but it was incredibly different and incredibly bizarre. It almost annoyed me at times, but for the most part I was just intensely amused by how fucking weird it was. Really complimented the night now that I think about it. Has anyone else heard Skylab?

Yeah, I've heard a little of his stuff. Heading to a 2-day event in early July where he's headlining...really looking forward to seeing the act live.

Also, I normally prefer EDM, primarily DnB...though I also enjoy string cheese incident, keller williams, grateful dead, pink floyd, TOOL, and some other psychadelic/progressive rock.
