music

[nismo]

What do you guys think is the best music to trip to on acid....i personally enjoy infected mushroom and gms are my favourites, so much energy and power flowing through the beats.

[OstrOsized]

I have yet to find someone better to listen to while tripping than Jimi Hendrix. Everything about his music will just guide you through an awesome trip. (Also you realise what he is really singing about and you're like "What do sober people think Jimi is talking about?" :D ;) )

[trippedelia]

Also you realise what he is really singing about and you're like "What do sober people think Jimi is talking about?" :D ;) )haha

[jean_genie]

i found out the fucking coolest thing the other day while soo stoned

listen to

machine gun by hendrix
brainstorm by hawkwind
house of the rising sun by the animals
and pretty much anything else

listen to them all together and they kinda mold so perfectly together

sounds better than any song ive ever heard lol

[polymer]

infected mushroom is cool, so are shpongle and eat static. Personally, I dig Lusine, Boards Of Canada, Jega, Machinedrum, plastikman, prefuse 73, mr. projectile, and casino vs. japan.
electronic has so many vibrant sounds.

[sourdiesel06]

I find that the best music when I'm tripping is just walking into the woods and listening to nature. Be it the sound of a soft breeze moving through the trees or a big thunderstorm.

[TopNotchStoner]

I like The Doors and Pink Floyd. I know, I know, so cliche, but I just like for my music to be deep and hypnotic with a touch of poetry thrown in. Oddly enough, I like "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong while I'm tripping. I listened to "The End" by The Doors for about 5 hours straight on repeat when I was tripping on 2c-E. Shit was getting deep.

[trippedelia]

i'd like some nature sounds for the peak

[C123-473]

Of course Pink Floyd is great, but Jimi Hendrix is the king of acid. His music is coherent enough to be familiar and comforting, but fluid and improvisational enough to keep you interested while on the trip.

[**PsYcHoDeLiC**]

mescaline or matrix by 1200 mics

[ESP_Shredder]

I really like to listen to Pink Floyd, Tool, Aphex Twin, and Dream Theater.

[trippedelia]

haha today while i was pretty stoned in the bush i listened to the x files theme tune.

[Mesektet]

everything from goa and ambient, to grindcore and thrash...

[RELAYER]

[Philo_1er]

Coil, Zappa, Phillip Glass, Fontanelle
But the best is definitely
The Polyphonic Spree-so happy with harps and horns-always gives me good vibes no matter how tough the experience is

[2cesarewild]

Fitty Cent

[Philo_1er]

No way man, that's too violent. Just take advantage of the fact that the humpty dance is your chance to do the hump.

[2cesarewild]

Yea doo.. but no srsly one of the best albums to trip to is There's a Riot Goin on By Sly and the Family Stone.

[eman resu]

I seriously get down to funky ACid jazz. GO to cdbaby.com and look under either acid jazz, funk, electronic: funk. YOu will find some groooovy shit I hIghley reccomend THE MACKROSOFT

[eman resu]

OH yea i forgot to mention colonel claypools bucket of bernie brain is the shit

[Philo_1er]

I seriously get down to funky ACid jazz.
How about Mark Farina and mushroom jazz?

[2cesarewild]

OH yea i forgot to mention colonel claypools bucket of bernie brain is the shitYea that shit is ok but I am not a big fan of claypool I'd rather hear bernie in early funkadelic like their first four albums are masterpieces of acid funk rock.

[USA in decline]

I really like to listen to Pink Floyd, Tool, Aphex Twin, and Dream Theater. Good taste = but you still missing about a good size truck load of music from the late 60s thru early 70s when the best was recorded.

[USA in decline]

if you like Pink Floyd heres a few similar band of that era . = "Yes " .. "the first 3 albums" also Deep Purple. ...Deep Purple made in japan was the best recording from that band.

[RELAYER]

Actually, I would say Relayer was the best by Yes, but to each his own

[USA in decline]

Actually, I would say Relayer was the best by Yes, but to each his own sorry = Close to the edge album and Fragile.

[trippedelia]

ive only got topographic oceans and relayer, and they're fucking bullshit.
in a good way.
i love 'and you and i' so if the rest of close to the edge sounds like that then ill havta love that one to.

[RELAYER]

Dont have fear my man, Close to The Edge is just as great ;)

[trippedelia]

shit yeah, love that song, so i guess ive got my next cd lined up then relayo.

[eman resu]

[eman resu]

Listen to money in the meter

[2cesarewild]

That sounds like pop music to me.

[eman resu]

yea hes not that good but his music is funny as shit to listen to while your tripping, i would never buy his cd or anything, i no what you mean though it kind of sinds like 80's pop

[2cesarewild]

lol yea i'd probably laugh pretty hard if i heard that while tripping.

[eman resu]

[trippedelia]

[eman resu]

Yea good thing its so god damn sexy.

[trippedelia]

haha i reckon.
but serioously, that thing has to be smiling.

[Illmaeo]

Shpongle, as mentioned early is some of the most intense trip music I've ever heard. Medeski Martin and Wood are excellent as well. Saw them live on LSD actually. My favorites for psychedelia are:

Super Furry Animals - you absolutely have to check out this band. They have DVDs they created specifically for acid heads. Especially "Rings Around the World."
Perpetual Groove - fucking amazing.
The Grateful Dead - of course.
Phish - trippy as hell. Especially the album "Rift"
Pink Floyd - the staple.
Parliament - notice how many of these bands begin with the letter 'P'?
Spoonfed Tribe - local Dallas band that is very percussive and very psychedelic. On one of their albums they have a cut where all the band members are tripping and improvising on song called "Alpha Draconian, Reptillian". I've seen them thrice on LSD and 17 times total. Check them out.


I'm sure I'll think of more after I trip tomorrow night!

[stoned immaculate]

all doors songs
any hendrix songs
any led zeppelin songs
tomorrow never knows,love you too, lucy in the sky with diamonds- beatles
white rabbit, come on take a free ride-jefferson airplane
dark side of the moon album and piper at the gates of dawn album- pink floyd
flying high- country joe and the fish
miller's blues- moby grape
cheap thrills album-big brother and the holding company
grateful dead too!!!!

[greek psychedelic]

Listen Brainticket, the "cottonwoodchild" album

[VaporDude]

Any P-Funk up to Motor Booty Affair, Herbie Hancock (Columbia Albums), RH Factor, and an album called Sonic Trance by Nicholas Payton. Also the Philidelphia Experiment is the shit. Any music usually goes good with acid, but when I'm listening to some shit that grooves really really hard it takes it to another level.

[PennylanesMaryjane]

thats simple, Jimi Hendrix.

[ergotoxine]

Pink Floyd has always done it for me while tripping.
Smashing Pumkins- Rhinoscerous freaked the shit out of me once after eating about 150 mushrooms- sent me out of control.

[jaytee]

Just about anything from the Elephant 6 collective. My favorite is Olivia Tremor Control.

P-Funk.

This is all you need to know about tripping music.

[dd3stp233]

Making your own music provides the best experiences.

[eman resu]

Grateful dead, Ratdog, Miles Davis, Panic, Hookah, Medeski MArtin and wood, Umphreys.

[TheRocking]

Check out this band called Zero 7. They have this song called "spinning" on one of their albums that is completely ridiculous man. absolute EUPHORIA. trust me

[3xi]

the best music to listen to while tripping is music created by people who use psychedelics.

[eman resu]

haha good observation...

[eman resu]

I think pretty much all the music on this entire forum is created by people who use psychedelics

[Jack vs. Explosion]

SWIM would say that the best, most beautiful, and most pleasant psychadelic experiences have been rendered by non-vocal music. SWIM would seriously suggest listening to a band called The Mercury Program while using any type of psychadelic. Very peaceful, very clean. For an adventurous experience, I'd suggest a band called Tera Melos, very chaotic, not imposing, very technical. Lots of geometrics. SWIM would suggest music by Panda Bear (which does have vocals) for DMT at least once. To be sure, SWIM says there are A LOT of geometrics with Panda Bear, some things are VERY Indian (from India) feeling.

[eman resu]

ok thanks swim.

[bettyblue79]

MGMT- run and get the album now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[opel diamond]

floyd for definate....not the final cut tho, fuck that was nasty and not the wall really either. and the doors are great, also spiritualized and porcupine tree is good for me. and maybe a dash of king crimson.

[opel diamond]

MGMT- run and get the album now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

na, they are more pills imo.

[el_wizard]

well yea...pink floyd,doors and all these guys are aaaaamazing...but to fly u need bit more...like Atomic rooster,RAM,Twenty sixty six and than,Alcatraz and so on... If anybody wants I can uload for them... or at least try :)

[Lodisx]

I typically enjoy more electronica/techno while tripping, things like:
The flashbulb
Boards of Canada
Lykke Li
Daft Punk
Junior Boys

Just to name a few, love having a large music collection with massive variety, can make trips pretty interesting just letting random roll me songs.

[Hydroponic_Acid]

my ipod shuffle playlist (aptly titled "Just trippin on acid") consists of Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, and Jefferson Airplane. Always take this with me when I'm intending to trip, cus if shit goes south, this brings me out, lol

[Haaziq]

Hmm..almost everything I would've listed has already been covered. Naturally, anything of a psychedelic nature sounds good.

Parliament-Funkadelic is good if you're in the partying mood.

I personally like to listen to this song while I'm tripping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLRETBpf5q4

I know this thread is supposed to be about music, but I'd like to add that I also like listening to surreal comedy (Steven Wright, Mitch Hedberg, Demetri Martin, etc) during trips. Guaranteed to crack you up.

[hilaree]

i love grateful dead, pink floyd, the beatles and i recently discovered shpongle while tripping on 2-ce

[mindbender62]

I see a pic of good 'ol Frank Zappa on here. "Joe's Garage" was one of my favorites for sure. Zappa does Zappa was do'in some fests this past summer. Did anyone get a chance to catch any of these shows.
Another Band of stoner music would have to be "David Peel @ the lower east side band" "Have a Marijuana " was the name of one (ALBUM).
Dr. Hook is another '70s stoner music "Cover of the Rollingstone"
And a artist alot of younger ppl would probally not know, but is some good listening is "John Prine" good song about LSD is "Illegal Smile". These all bring back some good memories of trips past.
