music to kick it to

[tiki_god7]

hey all.....what all is your idea of a good cd to groove to while tripping?
My personal fav is Vida Blue - electra guide.....I'm fairly sure that that cd was written either while tripping or with the thought seriously in mind with lyrics like: "Treasure moments like these into your seventies
Keep the moment alive it’s an all night drive
Then try to recreate this in every state
Well at least you can try
But the magical experience won’t last
Nearly that long, time passes by
You can hang on but the harder you try,
The less you enjoy, hold on tight"

the day I got my friends into the band we were running around in the country until we heard the music playing in my car so we piled in and listened to the cd about 3 or 4 times.....feeling as though my car were a space ship carrying us through the galaxy.....

I really gotta try it to Jimi's Electric Ladyland now......

[Jetblack]

my favorite stuff to listen to while tripping is....
infected mushroom
hallucinogen
juno reactor
darude
astral projection
and various other trance and goa music

[RivertranceJamGirl]

Vida Blues new one is super tripz...I like sound tribe sector 9...much better on shrooms and L than mdma....even tho its got a trance drummer, I think the trancy stuff sounds great on shrooms and L. On MDMA, I just want some freakin funk or rockin' jam grass shit. SOmething fast an fun and fiddly! I like that stuff trippin, too. Its been so long since L, Im wondering what all the shows I go to would be like on L. Its been since the early 90s, but if I was to choose a band I would see STS9 or SCI or go on a bad trip with Les Claypool, but only live. At home I would probably put on a show by Disco Biscuits, STS9, SIgnal Path, or some bohemian jams by Taarka, Hanuman, Trillion Green...maybe some old school Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie Sioux, Beck, something lush and crazy! Something about a good Grateful Dead or Phish show if your into that sorta thing, becaues it takes you to Trippin Home and its serious and goofy and psychedelic all at once. But nothing beats futuristic epic melodic organitronica for psyches!

[JamminOTR]

Totally agree with everthing she said^. Good trip music in my opinion is STS9, great great GREAT on mushies. Keller Wiliams-Laugh. SCI any of it. Lotus, they're a lot like SOud Tribe but they take the drumnbass a little further. I love listening to very lucid exploartaory music when I'm on L...definately Dead and Day By the River and Michael Hedges and people like that...Tool and Floyd of course as well. Its all good as long as it can take you somewhere. mmmm.:)

[chris]

Floyd
hallucinogen
and one u problem havent heard, download Steve Reich - Piano Phase, its crazy if you focus on it while high or tripping

[Ocean Byrd]

Tool - Lateralus (the album)

[sleeping jiva]

classical music, swing, music from 30's.


YOU CAN LISTEN TO ANYTHING, CAUSE EVERYTHING IS GOOD MUSIC.
open yr.mind

[MoonIsBright]

I enjoy The Doors, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, but I love Hendrix ( Electric Ladyland), but i will listen to almost all classic rock. It all sounds great to me.


Still Trippin

[diktnemele]

Try the postal service there SUPA COO

[Psilodelix]

Beatles
Gomez
Beck
Spoon
Grateful Dead (Dark Star!!!!!!!!)

[trippytrippy]

whenever im on any kind of drug but especially when im on acid i love listening to live phish and grateful dead shows you can just feel the music in your body and hearing the improvising is great because you never know what is coming. i just think live shows are the way to be when tripping.

[sPiNtHeDiSc]

The Pink Floyd album Ummagumma, Jimi Hendrix, Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead and Tool.

[tiki_god7]

yeah I'm glad people are mentioning tool...too many people just hear the word tool and seem to think of gothic rock or something.......when given a listen most will discover an extremely talented almost psychedelic rock/jam band(using the term jam band losely)

Hi. I'm new in this forum, and this is my first post in the Psychedelic threads. Has anybody tried Gong's YOU? I've used it may times to start my trips, and I think this music was done exactly for that purpose. Start playing it when you feel the first effects, and after it's finished (the last song is called "You can Blow your Trip Forever), you'll find yourself in a different world. It never fails. It's as if these guys from Gong decided to put a tripping manual into music.

Gong were this psychedelic music commune in the late 60's in France (similar to the Dead in S.F.). All their music is heavilly influenced by the psychedelic experience, and it really shows.

[mebesideme]

Incubus- A crow left of the murder is great for tripping. I also listen to a lot of oldies, Floyd, Zeppelin, shit like that. I usually put on some Modest Mouse though.

[bokonon]

Trance and electronica are usually my choices on mushrooms or acid. When coming up I like to keep things pretty chilled, maybe some Air or Mum. Of course it's not long before you want to step it up a bit with some Aphex Twin or Leftfield.


I had a couple of tabs at Glastonbury watching Paul McCartney and it so wasn't the right drug for the evening! I thought I was gonna die at the start of the show and felt unable to move for ages! Don't know what that tells you, but next day I had three for Orbital and I was right at home.

Macca and 60's Co. like Hendrix or The Velvet Underground get played when there's pot on the go. Or in a sober stage.

[Purplehaze]

Lots of classic rock. Techno is pretty cool too. I don't like listening to metal or hard rock music while tripping at all. I usually forget to listen to music while I'm tripping and run around in the woods all night. Ironically the Grateful Dead are my favorite band and I've never heard them tripping. So I plan on listening to alot of them next time.

[Mushroom Master]

any kind of trance music something that is energenic it feels really good

[Ocean Byrd]

My suggested list for listening to whilst tripping:

Pink Floyd - Relics
Tool - Lateralus
Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans
Pink Floyd - Piper at The Gates of Dawn
Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets

[Jennyjenkins]

This is my first post too. But i'm so with you on Grateful Dead...usually anything "live"...a bootleg even. It's like your mind totally controls the music and it flows through your body. The weirdest thing i've ever felt yet so happy and warm all at the same time.

Wonderful trip!

[evan7]

anything psychadelic:

the beatles-anything after rubber soul
pink floyd- especially dark side of the moon, wish you were here, or piper at the gates of dawn
tool- lateralus or aenima
the doors
hendrix
zeppelin
radiohead- especially kid a
sigur ros

many more of course.

[bigeyedfish870]

Definitly Led Zeppelin:)

[anycolouryoulike]

def pink floyd :P

[PurpleGel]

telafon tel aviv - fahrenheit fair enough.

don't bother with their new albumn. the first one was made for LSD--it's 41 minutes you'll never forget.

[mushie18]

whatever suits my fancy.. usually what i listen to when i am sober. moe., ben harper, phish, radiohead, etc. it all depends on the "mood".

[MagicSwhirlingShip]

i use to be into classic rock. Know im mroe into the hardcore/screamo/indie scene. Some bands i would defently reccomend for tripping are

-the mars volta
-the postal service
-between the buried and me

[2cesarewild]

The Grateful Dead
Herbie Hancock
Soulive
Medeski, Martin, and Wood
Hendrix
The Meters
Sly Stone
....


Anything you like straight, you will probably just like more while tripping.

[razor_hot_sticks]

I'm probably resurrecting a long dead thread here, but I think you all deserve to know that no music beats Ravi Shankar whilst tripping. Especially if you are leaning towards a more spiritual trip, because he seems to bring you back to that divine spark where it all began. Just that ancient Indian feeling it gives off is so enlightening...yea get some incense going, light some candles and toss in some Ravi Shankar...BEST TRIP EVER

Oh and I should also add My Bloody Valentines 'Loveless"...mmm so surreal and syrupy...
And also Sigur Ros's ( ) and 'Takk' are both lovely atmospheric trip discs, each in their own special way.

[Grapefruity]

Hendrix, grateful dead, gentle giant (gives awesome imagination!) , the early albums of the flaming lips, is what I usually listen to.

[generic]

the shpongle trilogy-Are you shpongled, Tales of the inexpressible, nothing lasts but nothgin is lost

Put simply simon posford is a psychedelic genius, i reckon he must have been tripping for at least part fo the time he was writing the music.

[WishIWasAHippie]

I like everything everyone has said...and...

Ska.

[Orange Sunshine Vet]

These other Simon Posford CD's are as good to trip with as the Shpongle project is;

younger brother - a flock of bleeps.
Celtic Cross - Hicksville.
Hallucinogen - in dub.
The Infinity Project - mystical experiences.
Mystery of the Yeti - Part i _ Part ii.
cheers

[FlUfFnStUfF]

I would say THE dead tapes from 69 at the fillmore also sts9 and hydra are fucking sweet.

[TheLizardKingMike]

Pink Floyd, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Frank Zappa - especially the album he did with the Mothers of Invention "We're only in it for the Money". Anything you like.

[stoned immaculate]

doors, pink floyd, hendrix, some beatles, jefferson airplane
