music to kick it to

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......

 

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

 

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!

 

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.

 

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

 

Tool - Lateralus (the album)

 

classical music, swing, music from 30's.


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

 

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

 

Try the postal service there SUPA COO

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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)

 

Word to your mother.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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
