Tomorrow Never Knows covered by 801 (Roxy Music w/o Brian Ferry) makes the Beatles Version look like Don Ho.
Phish - Stash
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, whole album.
Much of King Crimson. The Night Watch, Starless, Lament, In the Court of the Crimson King, Frame By Frame, Theela Hun Gingeet, Satori in Tangiers, Dig Me, and many many more.
Some of Blue Oyster Cult. They Have Killed the Great Sun Jester, most of Secret Treaties and Astronomy in particular, couple others.
String Cheese Incident - Psychadelic Fun/Bluegrass fusion. Johnny Cash don't smoke Hash.
Under the right circumstances, Tool is incredibly trippy. Particularly Schism.
Some of Steve Vai's stuff is pretty trippy. I think it's his best stuff at that: For the Love of God and Tender Surrender. Satch has some analogous songs, too: Always with Me, Always With You and Love Thing spring to mind.
The Electric Prunes: I had too much to Dream Last Night
Coheed & Cambria - Everything Evil
Frank Zappa - Once in a while Zappa was more than just flying fingers and twisted sensibilities. The Sinister Footwear, perfect example. Sofa # 1 is another.
Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies (the song), also Steven.
Nine in Nails - In the same circumstances where Tool is trippy, so is Trent.
Some chick singers - Tori Amos, Laurena McKennit, Nancy Griffith, and Sarah McLaclan - are good music for altered states, but perhaps more because they tend to be spare and beautiful and a sort of reality anchor.
Late Camper van Beethoven - Our Beloved Revolutionarey Sweetheart, Key Lime Pie, and most especially, Tusk (yup, the Fleetwood Mac tune.)
Peter Gabriel's Third Album.
Rusted Root. Drum Trip>Ecstacy
Allman Brothers - The long instrumentals like Elizabeth Reed and Les Brers in A Minor.
Rolling Stones: Memo From Turner. It's like a quick skim through a William Burroughs book in song form.
Some of Dire Straits, particularly on Love Over Gold, and some of Marc Knopfler's solo work, Sailing to Philadelphia f'rinstance, have the kind of guitar work that can send your noggin reeling off on strange tangents.
The James Gang - The Bomber
The Stone Roses - Almost all of it. Breaking into Heaven and Love Spreads are excellent examples.
Yes - Close to the Edge. Sometimes they can get overbearing, but I think they hit it on this one.
Ennio Morricone - The spaghetti western Soundtracks, also, but mostly the Soundtracks for Last of the Mohicans and the Mission.
As you can see, I like this kind of music, but my toddler is yowling, so I'll leave it there with, older Pink Floyd too,
