albums with good vibes

what are you favorite albums with an upbeat vibe that always puts you into a good lear headspace before your trip.

for me the white album by the beatles is great so is beck's guero and if im feeling saucey boards of canada, weird war, or the beta band.

 

For me it's the best of Talking Heads

What could be better than " love for sale"

lateralus, aenima, any moe., any pgroove, morning view, john lennon, vheissu.

 

any DEAD, phish, moe., strangefolk, panic, any jam for me

 

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service is perfect for this

also Hendrix, Floyd, Zeppelin, Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, etc....

 

The Gay Parade by of Montreal is the shit, psychedelic in the vein of Sgt. Peppers, but even better.

 

I'd never heard Boards of Canada until reading about it on this thread - all right!

No music coming up and peaking, then Grateful Dead, especially American Beauty - nothing mysto, just pure mind & heart.

And speaking of mind, Liquid Acrobat as Regards the Air by Incredible String Band.

Some of those old groups, and I'm sure newer ones too, really took a lot of care with their listener's minds. It's not nothing to create music for tripping.

 

It might seem a strange choice, but I like Counting Crow's August and Everything After.

It's got it's fair share of downers-- in fact, almost every song is about alienation or loss or quiet moments pondering the meaning of life and why she did that to me or why I had to leave her-- but the over-all feeling is very grounded and earthy. It feels strong and wise and full of love.

And that accordion next to the hammond organ over the simple guitar...it carries me away.

 

THE DEAD ALBUM by JAY Z check that shit out

 

i was tripping a couple of days ago and my buddy put on Dub side of the moon. that shit was sick

 

American Don - Don Caballero [check this out if you like math rock]
