Good psychedelic Music

i have that song timothy leary dead(no hes outside looking in), quicksilver messenger service - the fool , man that was a heavy song when flamin the dead from 66-76 are pretty good

 

Yose BitTorrents. I have heard alot of it but I don't know what it is. I ones had a Torrent textfile but couldn't open it because I didn't had the program to open it.
What do I need to use BitTorrent?

 

So much great music. It's almost hard to not hear something pleasing. So one wonders what the radio is really about?! I liked your list Flabbergasp, I'm checking them out.

I did most of my tripping to Bowie though.. Diamond Dogs...and alot of Punk stuff. Like 45 grave, UXA, Lydia Lunch, etc... Not exactly psychedelic, though it was when tripping.

 

My favorite album, given all experience (Jimi Live in West Virginia, USA and the holiday inn across the street), is "H.P. Lovecraft II". The first one is too garage, but if you can find the second.... Robert Eggleton, "Rarity from the Hollow" (please Google and....)

 

alright, i dunno if any of yall know this but i discovered all this because i used to be somewhat of a rave fanactic hahaha. but anyways. get the latest winamp at winamp.com then open up the media library and go to the Internet Radio link. After that, sort by name and find the DIGITALLY IMPORTED channels. The last time i tripped i turned this on and tuned in to the ambient and chill station..a REALLY trippy station. its extended mixes and dj performances all mixed together into one continuous long mix. They have the Goa and Psychedelic channel too but i prefer the Ambient and Chill station, simply because the goa and psychedelic one is really insane and they have some really twisted beats and i couldnt hold my own for more than 5 mins when i listened to it tripping. The Ambient and Chill one was good because its calm, yet psychedelic and inspiring. Mostly will soft beats and crazy chinese or indian and monk chants. It really really cool.

 

Early Pink Floyd
1967-1971...

Especially the live stuff...

Early versions of Atom Heart Mother, Cymbaline, etc.... WOW

 

Any body ever heard of the Acid Mothers Temple

It is a psychedelic band from Japan.

Some Examples from there concerts.

LeLaLo(listen)
Dark Star Blues(listen)
Tibet Jam(listen)

 

That japanese band looks awsome! I'll listen to the samples later, though, my brother's listening to Jimi Live at the Filmore East right now, and you can disrespect Jimi by playing other music on top of him =P

BitTorrent is the greatest thing since sliced bread. You need a program that will download the Torrent files when you click to download them from a site. There are alot of programs out there, my favorite is Azureus but just google Bit Torrent and you'll figure it out.

There are a lot of great classic rock bands, but everyone knows about them.

Olivia Tremor Control is amazing. "Dusk At Cubist Castle" and "Black Foliage" are both insanely good albums. Dusk is a little more rock while Foliage is a bit more experimental, but both are trippy as hell.

Arcade Fire's debut album "Funeral" is a really artistic sounding album. Its seems like it might be a little intense to trip to, though.

Animal Collective is by far the trippiest band I've ever heard. I have their album "Sung Tongs" and it is soooo trippy and sooo relaxing. Its just a light-hearted album full of bouncing little tunes with layers of singing and chanting over it. I heard that "Here Comes the Indian" is a good album as well. This is my favorite band as far as trippy music goes.

For those of you who like more electronic music, I would suggest the band Tabla Beat Science. I have their album "Tala Matrix" and I love it. Its all instrumental with a few Indian Tabla drums being played with amazing speed and skill with all kinds of beats and ambient jams by DJs behind them. Its like a fusion of traditional Inian instruments and electronic music. I'm not big into techno and all the different genres there in, so I can't really describe what kind of genre it is, but its good.

Also for Indian music is Ravi Shankar. Most amazing sitar... its crazy. "Sounds of India" is a great. It only has five tracks but they're long and full of classic dancing sitar playing. For something more spiritual, "Chants of India" is a great CD. This CD was produced by or with the help of George Harrison. They're a lot of traditional Hindi chants that Ravi Shankar put his own style of sitar to. I dont understand any of the chants, but the liner notes have them all translated, a lot of them are really calming to just listen to.

For phisheads and pholk phans alike (haha, I'm so PHunny.. Ugh, so sick of that joke) Mike Gordon and Leo Kottke have an album "Clone" which is just really mellow, basic sounding music. Nothing crazy, good simple music. Also from Mike Gordon is his album (soundtrack) Inside In. The song "Bone Delay" is a great instrumental.

Trey Anastasio and Les Claypool teamed up for Oysterhead which is a weird (as the weird that only Claypool can bring) album with lots of trippy, odd sounds undulating from their instruments. Its funny because its really obvious when listening to the album because its so easy to pick out which songs Claypool wrote and which ones Trey did.

Damn... I wrote a lot... oh yeah, if you're at home listening to these, WinAmp has the best visualizations! Hit Crtl + P and select MilkDrop, those are the best ones. If they're not on your computer allready, they're free to download online, google it!

 

I am a member of a bt site that has soooooooo much sick music. Discographies up the ass, all kinds of Hendrix bootlegs. I am downloading one right now "Complete PPX Sessions," it's six cd's and I have only heard one before. All stuff from like 65 or so when Hendrix played with r and b bands and shit. Hendrix is one of the best people to listen to for psychedelics... or for anything.

 

Indian music is great but I recently discovered this music.
It is Gypsy music from Turkey.
I really like to be stoned on this stuff. It is awesome music.

Some examples

for a more mellow but still psychedelic vibe try any of the first 4 Incredible String Band albums esp the hangmans beautiful daughter

 

Umphrey's Mcgee live on mushrooms....that's the shit right there. Perfect cosmic harmony and jams that build so well. And then they belt out a righteous cover of Immigrant Song and Baba O'rielly....you gotta dig that.

Also an absolute must is a good didgeridoo music album for special occassions. Nothing gets me in a shamanic trance like some good didgeridoo.

 

Oh yeah, and absolutely awesome movie to watch is 2001: A Space Odyssey. Trips me out every time.

 

2001 is intense. I read the book and the movie makes sooo much more sense now!

Oh yah, I went and downloaded an Acid Mothers Temple show =P

When I tripped on shrooms, we went for a little walk at 2:30 in the morning and ended up under a bridge that spanned a highway. We listened in the dark to some car, way down the road as it approached. We sat there in the dark, silent, listening to it grow and grow as it got closer, then all of a sudden it blew by with three or four other cars in tow! It was intense...

 

William Shatner seems like a good choice

 

What about some Aphex Twin. I watched the movie last night mixed in with a few tokes and all I can say is that it totally freaked me out. That kid is fuck'n crazy!

 

Oh yes fucking amazing shit, I have 'Nothing Lasts... but Nothing Is Lost' What are their other two albums like?

I really enjoy Psychedelic Trance i think is perfect for dancing to on a light dose of shrooms!

 

There only 1 Master.

 

They Don't Write 'Em Like That Anymore

The world stopped turning when Alice Cooper rose to prominence in the early '70s. Taking somewhat of a cue from The Beatles, Cooper took rock and roll and molded it to shape his needs. His creativity and talent were unparalleled when it came to not only rock and roll theatrics, but also good old rock and roll itself. In the Alice Cooper Group was a formidable assortment of nasty rock and roll boys. With guitarists Michael Bruce and Glen Buxton, the band could simply not be touched. The two created a slab of hard rock that some critics would be quick to incorrectly term "heavy metal" years later. What Bruce and Buxton did was simply bring back some real power back to the six strings of rock that had gotten lost along the way at the beginning of the decade. Sure, there was Zeppelin. But not even Jimmy Page could have dreamed up a more influential and outrageous amalgam of music and theatricality like the one Cooper was offering to teenage kids who were happily eating up the former Vincent Furnier's satire left and right.

My older siblings were really into Alice. And just to remind people how truly "shocking" Alice was to the parents back then (Marilyn Manson and Eminem have nothing on the Coop), my mother had originally ordered my sister to send back her copy of School's Out that she had received from a record club at the time because it was wrapped in a pair of women's panties. We all laugh at that one now, because dear old mom actually likes some of the Coop's music, like "Caught in a Dream" from Love It to Death.

But at the time, Alice was breaking all the rules, and successfully giving the middle finger to not only the parents, but to the industry as well, that was more or less forced to embrace Cooper when he and the band started selling millions of albums. That fact was certainly helped along by producer Bob Ezrin, probably the only man who could make bombast sound so beautiful. After all, this was the man who was behind the control decks of Lou Reed's Berlin and Peter Gabriel's debut album. Ezrin had originally been sent out by the heads of Warner Brothers who didn't want to have anything to do with the Alice Cooper Group. But the band's manager had bugged the label so much that they asked Ezrin to go check the band out in hopes that he, too would find Alice Cooper to be nothing but a curio as well. After all, the band had started out as a strangely psychedelic outfit on Frank Zappa's Straight label, having released Pretties for You and Easy Action to not much acclaim.

Ezrin, however, wound up being thoroughly excited by the group, mistaking the song "I'm Eighteen" as "I'm Edgy". He was quick to get the band into the studio, not only to record the songs that got him all worked up, but to also help tighten the group into a powerful, functioning unit that would indeed become untouchable by its peers. Thus belong a great string of successful albums (Love It To Death, Killer, and School's Out), with each one getting more outrageous and more popular than the one that came before it.

Billion Dollar Babies, released in 1973, would be Cooper's bid to expand the band's appeal to a wider audience. To trim away a touch of the heavier guitar sounds and produce a glitzy extravaganza previously unheard of in rock, even by Cooper's own established line of preceding albums. The plan worked. Ezrin's production that brought in orchestrated bits, horn sections, and the kitchen sink caused Billion Dollar Babies to become arguably the original Alice Cooper Group's best album. It carried along with it a concept of politics and fame that sneered in the faces of all who desired to be president. The Coop even wound up running for the Big Cheese position himself.

It's that theme of twisted rock and roll politics that runs rampant through killer tracks like "Hello Hooray" and "Elected", the latter being a reworking of Cooper's earlier tune, "Reflected". In both tracks, Ezrin applies an ungodly amount of brass and the whole mix becomes unstoppable. "Kids want a savior and don't need a fake / I wanna be elected / We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make / I wanna be elected" sang Cooper, with his throat-shredding vocals firmly in place. He was giving the kids what they always wanted: a rock and roll leader. In turn, he was also knowingly giving the parents something to get uptight about and fear for their children's sanity. Basically, it was a good time for all in Cooper's eyes. In "Hello Hooray", he addresses this pointedly: "Roll out / Roll out / With your American dream and its recruits / I've been ready / Roll out / Roll out / With your circus freaks and hula hoops / I've been ready / Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream / Loving every second, every moment, every scream".

Alice was also quick to poke fun at his image, while at the same time building upon it. In the hilarious and gorgeously catchy "Raped and Freezin'", he turns the whole sexual harassment idea around on its head, while on the hit "No More Mr. Nice Guy", Cooper continues the bad boy characterizations that he started to embrace on Killer and satirizes his popularity with prime time results: "My dog bit me on the leg today / My cat clawed my eyes / Mom's been thrown out of the social circle / And daddy has to hide". With its "You're sick, you're obscene" line being the sucker punch ending to the chorus, the Coop winked at all the parents and social (and political) factions that deemed him as the perverted madman who killed chickens on stage and led the children away liked some Pied Piper. To Alice, it was all glorious.

He even got so "perverse" as to have Donovan sing on the album's title track. In "Unfinished Sweet", Alice explored the terror of visiting the dentist. And in "Generation Landslide", he took the parental bull by the horns and shook it fiercely: "Militant mothers hiding in the basement / Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets / Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high chairs / While Mothers' lib burned birth certificate papers".

But what undoubtedly got the mothers' fingers pointing the most was undoubtedly tracks like "Sick Things" and "I Love the Dead" (Did they even notice the funny "Mary Ann" sandwiched in between?), the latter track being a little ode to necrophilia. Ahh, what wouldn't dear Alice do? On stage, he had previously been electrocuted, hanged, had his head chopped off at the guillotine nightly, only to rise from the dead for the encore each time. But this? It was Cooper's crowning achievement. Billion Dollar Babies was everything outrageous and wonderful that the band had been working up to, and in such a short span of time.

However, things were becoming strained within the band. Some of the members wanted to focus more on the rock than the show. Understandable, but also a bit of a shame as all of the guys were part of the successful act. The music spawned the visuals. The songs were as great as ever. Somewhat predictably, the follow-up album Muscle Of Love showed the strain and shortly thereafter the original Alice Cooper Group disbanded, leaving cooper himself to forge even greater successes as a "solo" act with his Welcome to My Nightmare album and tour.

1. Decades have passed since Billion Dollar Babies was first unleashed. Trends have come and gone, hundreds of bands have attempted to ape Alice's influence, and most have failed. Cooper himself failed on and off throughout the years, but not without style. He has always done what he wanted to do, even if that meant taking some artistic detours along the way like Lace and Whiskey and Dada that some of the fans found weak. If you want to hear Alice and his original band at their peak, when they could seemingly do no wrong and were laughing all the way to the bank, thenBillion Dollar Babies is the album to discover. It's brilliant, decadent, and encapsulated all the celebrity trashiness of the Seventies only three years into the decade. Not even Pete Townshend or Roger Waters could have had their fingers on the pulse of the kids like the Coop. Even now, Alice remains a great character and infinitely interesting man and musician. ​
