Tripping on music

[when 2 roads meet]

((Quick separate question) The only drugs I've ever really done is morning glories, and whippets (sp?) and crap like that but that honestly shouldn't even count. But anyway, all the time I see trails and halos around things, lately it's been worse. I actually really like it so I hope it dosn't go away but wanted to see if anyone else has this.)

And, do you ever, not really trip, but sort of, on music. Okay say your'e listening to music, and then you realize after like ten minutes that you hqvn't been thinking, or you had but you don't really know. And you feel like your'e in the song. And nothing else around you matters. The best time this happened I was listening to The End by The Doors:) And I realized my mind was just gone, and it felt really good. But of course once you notice this you can't get back. This ever happen to you guys? :)

[Kitaro]

Yes, a lot!! That's what music is for!!
That really happens to me when I listen to Pink Floyd or good classic music. That's why music was created, to really make you feel something, to make the communication between the artist and the people who's enjoying the art.
I'm glad there are people who feel that when listening to music! I don't know many more peolple who do...

i love getting stoned and lisening to bob marley or jimi hendrix. u can hear everything in really high detail and u become one with the song

[peacelovebarefeet]

yessss.... that happened with me... with.. great gig in the sky... i know what you mean, once you notice, ya cant get it back! thats the sucky part!

[FuzzWah]

As far as seeing trails and halos around everything, I see those all the time. About a year or so ago me and my bro had a whole bunch of 2CB (really crazy psychedelic) we did it almost every day for a week or two. Ever since then i see tracers and intinsefied colors everywhere i look, but it doesn't really effect my ability to do everyday tasks. Its as if the drug opened my mind to a new level of conciousness, and once the blind man sees, its hard to go back being blind again.

And as for tripping on music, it happens to everyone who can see music as something more then mere sounds. And i've lost track of reality while listening to the same song "the end" by the doors... really mellow stuff.

[LostChord]

during march and april I couldnt listen to dark side of the moon while driving...
and whenever a song from it came on the radio at work I had to leave the kitchen or i'd be out of commission till it ended..

i miss those flashbacks tho

it still happens now with some floyd.. like real early floyd (syd) and dark side, and the wall.. listening to the phish show from spac on 6.20.04 sets me off pretty good too, and moody blues - in search of the lost chord album (which is an insane album, check it out if you've never listened to it before..both incredible music wise.. and the lyrics are awesome as well), and days of future past is a pretty good album too, both I believe from 68 and prime psychedelic albums, some of my best experiences came from induced moments from tracks of in search of the lost chord (hence my name....)

tracks of yellow submarine as well.. mostly the instrumental tracks

[gnarkill_chik]

...hell yah!..the doors...good music to trip on....especially music...music captivates everybody in their own certain way...i think it opens the door to another demension for me...its an awesome adventure and i love it...i love to make collages when im stoned or when im spunned because i visualize everything before i do anything or cut out any pictures...its just a kickass experience...kind of unexplainable...but you'll understand in a way....

[PhluffHead 4]

I know this is cliche but listening to Floyd just takes me to another place when I'm on drugs.

[miami musician]

once i tripped for the first time and listened to music, i thought i had figured out the reason why music is here... of course i didn't, but i realized how powerful it was for me, and how it could influence other people. i remember going into a trip and listening to OK computer, it was one of the most euphoric moments every, just because i felt like i wasn't apart of one world, and slowly going into another.

[Little flower]

wats da best/easyest music 2 trip 2 without drugs

[Lucy_In_The_Sky]

Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here. It makes me completely high, I feel like flying when I listen it :).

Peace!

[Little flower]

kl tkx!
do u c things 2?

[Little flower]

do u c things wen ur listening 2 pink floyd?????
and can u tell me a bit bout him

[Little flower]

?

[BradinTheGreat]

Pink Floyd is a band not just a singer ("do u c things wen ur listening 2 pink floyd?????")

I've never gotten visuals, but I do get "new world" experiences.

[Little flower]

wow, kl, tkx

[LostChord]

one of Phish's 'Gamehendge' shows.. my fav of what i've heard is 3-22-93

[jo_k_er_man]

when i trip i always have to have music on, i usually go into a deep trance like dancing, its funny and people always find it highly interesting

[Little flower]

lol

[mart_182]

I know this is cliche but listening to Floyd just takes me to another place when I'm on drugs.
absolutely, i listened to the wall (for the first time all the way through) the other day on 50g of fresh mushrooms, it was incredible, i felt exhausted afterwards lol. and im listening to it again right now:H

[the zen-man puck]

reggea is usually good, but as many others have said, The Doors,Led zepplin,black sabbath, usually good rock music from the 70's.

[orqan]

I suggest Psychedelic Trance (Goa Trance)

It really takes you away. The best I've recently listened is
Osom-Over game
But there are some classics (yep not that new) like Astral Projection and Infected Mushroom.
Everybody says that Psychedelic Trance is taking the place of Psychedelic Rock of 60's.
I wish 60's occure again not only in musical way but also other ways.

Enjoy

[Timmaniac]

I suggest Psychedelic Trance (Goa Trance)

i wouldn't
i find it very disturbing music.
in fact i hate it if you want elektronic music take drum n bass :p

[jesikhaviolet]

oh yes yes yes. the music surrounds me, and i'm there. i'm written into the score. i am what it works around. it weaves in and out of me, drawing me closer and tighter and....... i'll shut up, you get the idea

[Dazed4now]

i love getting stoned and lisening to bob marley or jimi hendrix. u can hear everything in really high detail and u become one with the songthat is weird how u can hear the song so much better

[StonerBill]

arent all the effects of weed wierd??? lol!

[DrSpaceman]

Space, the final frontier ...

[The Flow]

Why does no one ever recommend classic music?

I really love "Pictures of an exhibition" (the orchestral version) by Modest Mussorgsky, especially when I´m on Acid.

[DrSpaceman]

Well, I did mention Ravi Shankar, who plays Indian classical, but I also like baroque, chamber music, etc., not all the time, but occasionally. Virgil Fox is (was) a pretty hip dude.

[DrSpaceman]

When I saw Ravi Shankar in concert at Penn State in 1967, there was an announcement: "Out of respect for Mr. Shankar, we request that there be no smoking in the auditorium ... of anything!"

The following spring, I saw Charles Lloyd in concert and bought his "Journey Within" album. As I posted in another thread, it's got some freaky effects, like an Indian flute that sounds like a baby crying. On another track, Keith Jarrett ends up his piano solo by rocking the pedals and making the strings squeak.

[Keramptha]

the doors.....deeply engrained in some neural pathways...just for them.

[stan marsh]

some of the most surreal expriences I've had have been walking around philly sober with my ipod or discman on so that I can't hear anything going on around me, only the music. with some good music (i'd highly recommend spoon, neutral milk hotel, or some alkaline trio as well as floyd and all that other good stuff), and with so much going on around me, everything seems like you're in a movie or just in a different world.

by the way which one's pink? It's pretty funny someone asked about the band like it was a solo artist, but technically it is the name of the main character in The Wall, and a persona taken on by the band throughout their carreer.

I can completely relate. I live in Philly and while walking around (mainly center city area) with some good music in your discman its easy to just get taken away. A couple days ago i was blasting a rare Miles Davis live recording on my way to meet some friends at a bar.
As chaotic as this city can be, i was in my own world, just floating by. When i got to the bar a friend asked me if i walked up walnut street or sansom st., i didn't know. I just got there.......

[Gloria]

I remember I was inside the song " When the levee breaks" Led Zeppeline, I just had been travelling along the guitar's, drumms' sounds & Plant's voice... I was inside his voice! It was increadible...

[mellow]

well if your refering to 'tripping' on music without drugs then I totally know what you mean!
Music, in all its glorious forms can be so unbelievably emotional and spiritual.
I make time everyday now to just put on a CD, burn some incense and trance out. I can honestly say music is one of the most beautiful and perfect things on this planet, I love it.
I dont usually go anywhere without my CD player or minidisc

I also use music when I trip (on substances), I find that it guides my trips in a much more spiritual and positive direction.

I've experienced this on numorous occasions. A few of those occasions happened to be when I was listening to "THE END" by The Doors. According to this thread, that song has the same effect on alot of people. Another song that trips me out every time I listen to it is "SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN" by Pink Floyd. If you haven't heard it, listen to it.

[Terrapin Station]

I do drugs to make music to do drugs to

i forget who said that it was some band

[PLyTheMan]

I got really stoned and lay down on the couch listening to "Black Foliage" by Olivia Tremor Control and tried to take a nap while my friend was taking a shower or something. I just closed my eyes and started seeing a ton of visuals and landscapes. It was pretty crazy.

But even sober music can definitely put you in a trance-ish state.

[tumbledownDNA]

yeah man that is tripping... your brain gets set into the rythm of the song, you tune to its frequency. there's no need for your "self" to stop and step back adn say "that was good" or anything, because all that matters is the sound itself. you become the song. thats the shit man, and that to me is just as good as some awesome visual on 3 hits of paper. thats why i take lsd man, cuz it makes the experience of the music (and everything) so intense, so perfect and just so "mm" i don't know the word for it you just can't help but breath and bounce and be with the beat. listen to the song "echoes" by pink floyd.

[tumbledownDNA]

ive also noticed i'm more capable of zoning on music like that after psychedelics... relating to the walking around listening to music... ever since i took psychs its like when i listen to certain types of music, if im not completely paying attention, it just adds a different mood or feel to the situation. like if i'm walking downtown listening to jazz, it just gives me this very downtown, urban, classy feeling, like out of a movie about the thirties. if im listening to some dead or something, i just get a feeling like everythings so happy and free and all the people i see just seem so awesome... i don't know, its like it becomes a soundtrack for whatever situation im in. anyone know what i mean?
