I've been trying to find the best music for me to listen to when tripping. i need something that has, i guess techno elements, but not nonstop. trippy effects, ambient sounds, meditative, expanding. i've listened to shpongle a few times and i like it, but there's just a lot of corny lines and a lot of songs sound similar. i'm a jazz musician so i enjoy harmonic dissonance and trippy electric jazz, if executed properly, would be perfect but i just don't know any groups. i want something that won't take all of my attention away from my tripping experience, but something that will immerse me in a beautiful soundscape. definetly can be something other than jazz. anyway, any and all suggestions would be great. thanks peace, steven
Eyedea&Abilities - First Born Oliver Heart - The Many Faces Of Oliver Hart Listen to both of those albums while trippin, and you will dig it for sure. They are deep, and meaningful.
Cosmic jokers- 70's German psychedelic, experimental, space rock! They improvised all their albums under the influence of lsd so you know its insane. Its quite electonic- lots of keyboards, wah wah guitar, pleanty of echo and flanger and other trippy effects, atmopheric/minimalistic and deeply intense.
Well I have to say reggae and Dub is pretty damn trippy in a relaxing kind of way, I always feel like I am in the music. They use a lot of echoes and sfx and stuff and it makes for an irie sound
Any and all Hawkwind albums, very spacey and trippy, they were just messed up 24/7 so you'll like it lol!!
Ozric Tentacles, Hallucinogen in Dub, Shpongle, Younger Brother, Bluetech, Ott, Cosmosis, Pnuma, Particle, STS9, Bassnectar, Lotus, Prometheus, Entheogenic.
try anything by boards of canada its very chill psychedelic electronic music, lots of ambient soundscapes, lots of interesting effects and noises. very original stuff.
The stoner end of Doom Metal might be good, but a fair warning: some of it is too sinister, IMO. However, whether you're sober or not, I highly recommend you check out the Electric Wizard track "Eko Eko Azarak" and Sleep.
Black Aria and Black Aria II by Danzig are great, but a little dark. Kind of like classical, but not really.
I like techo (Sandstorm by Da Rude) for acid on a semi-heavy trip (the sound of it makes you feel like something 'big' is going to happen, at least imo lol while tripping), trance on ectasy if the trip isn't too intense, else the song freaks me out. For traditional trips, prolly Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Mozart - GreenSleeves Mozart - Piano Concerto #23 Diago Mozart - Cavalleria Rusticana (absolutely amazing for Acid trips imo) Idk love my classical period and acid makes it 100x more emotional. The sounds just sound so much more powerful and it feels like it's echoing inside your heart. Oh, and don't forget some of Syd Barret's solo stuff or whatever. Awesome.
The whole soundtrack to Requiem For A Dream tickles my fancy. Anything by: The Mars Volta Hella King Crimson(old fav.) An Albatross Genghis Tron The Requiem For A Dream OST is the best overall for any trip though.
Genghis Tron is sick but they seem a little to psychotic for a trip wouldn't you imagine? From the aisle would probably be a miserable dispressed feeling during the intro.
depends which genghis tron albums you are listening to. i typically listen to omar rodriguez-lopez quintet(TMV)-se dice bisonte no bufalo that OST is mindblowing. it will make you freak the fuck out in a good way
It is gerally assumed that nothing can surpass the saurcerful of secrets and the narrowway of Pink Floyds umma gumma album for the apex of tripping music, but you have to be really tripping, like at least 250 to five hundred mikes, old orange sunshine stuff.
Narroway is most definitley high up there, especially part 2, as well as the Grand Visiers Garden Party, also part 2. (though, if Im not mistaken, and I dont believe that I am, the word Vizier is more accuratley transliterated from Arabic as 'Wazir', concerning those subjects to the Kings. I have much of the Quar'an memorized, as well as Arabian literature) But, Im still all for the clean cut jazzy sounds of Steve Howe when he really goes at it!
Although now that the Narrow Way has been brought back to mind, I remember clearly how well that song correlates with magic mushrooms moreso than LSD. Because the transition on mushrooms is much faster, I feel that the part 1 reprsents the optimism one feels during the onset by the acoustic guitar, then spiraling into the confusion of initial ego-death further into complete overwhelmed insanity during part 2 with basically the exact sounds one hears when in a quiet place on a large enough dose, finally coming to the harmonic feeling of eternally growing light during the uplifting part 3, especially the chorus. Man my ears long to hear that album agaiN!
