Post songs that you find "trippy"
 

I would say anything by pink floyd and most songs by the beatles. Tommarow Never Knows by The Beatles is really trippy.

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,

old Moody Blues - first 7 albums - in particular Every Good Boy Deserves Favor

Whoa Tophat, you were just waiting for someone to start this thread, weren't you?!:)

I like In Da Gadda Da Vida (sp?) by Iron Butterfly. Makes me dizzy.

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit

I listen to three kinds of music. This is one.

The entire albums Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Atom Heart Mother Suite by Pink Floyd are a frakkin trip. Live Phish when they get ambient and dissonant are crazily disheartening when in altererd states. Same with the second disc of Yessongs. Crazy stuff.

burnhm,
Yeah, when Phish goes off on their Ornette Coleman trip, they tend to leave a lot of folks behind. Wish they wouldn't do that. On the other hand, I've seen them a couple of times (early 90's) when their jams stayed consonant and there seemed to be a structure underlying the apparent chaos. Those were trippy as hell. I Am Hydrogen>Mike's Song>Weekapaug Groove used to be so much better than it is today, and Stash has trippy potential straight out of the studio.

Aphex Twin. Pick a song, any song and you are set.

Klaatu

Pink Floyd has some great trippy music.
The Dandy Warhols - Come Down and Thirteen tales...
The Minus Five
Oysterhead
A Perfect Circle
Tool
Queens of the Stone Age
Super Fury Animals
The Verve - Weeping Willow


Can't think of many specific songs right now but all of those artists have great trippy tunes.

Massive Attack

How about Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix?

DEFINETLY, but especially (for me) Flim and Bucephalus Bouncing Ball.

Also, Kyuss plays music that's designed to be trippy and do a damn good job at it.

Smashing Pumpkins also have very trippy moments, Today gives me that feeling.

Also, the end of Glassjaw's Must've Run All Day sort of all melts together and gives it a trippy air

thanks for the great replies guys, I've been downloading songs you said, and am gonna burn a cd for my next, uh, adventure into that other world.

alot of those are good and I could make a list of 100 artists BUT if your looking for psychadelic/"trippy" music you have to hear Shpongle

Incredible sound production and honestly I can't really classify his work into a single genre... its just... Shpongle ;)

http://www.shpongle.com/frame-main.htm <-- their website

oh and check Tranquility Bass as well

- "Trigger Hippy" - Morcheeba
- "Angel", "Better Things", "Protection" - Massive Attack
- Anything by Death In Vegas (Especially the "Dead Elvis" album and also the "Aisha" song)
- DJ Spooky (god of "illbient")

The Avalanches "Frontier Psychiatrist"

Hell yes!

the Doors - Strange Days

1) get the download program SoulSeek
2) join the "Psytrance" room (it's usually one of the 3 most popular rooms)
3) start downloading.
4) discover a new level of trippedness

Personal faves include the artists: HuxFlux, Infected Mushroom, Hallucinogen, Astrix, Cosmosis, Blowfish

on the IDM side... I have to agree about Aphex Twin, though I wouldn't call it psychedelic.. deffinetelly not for an lsd or shroom trip at least, but psychedelic on a mind fuck level for sure =) Squarepusher is in the same vain.. I also love Matmos (suggest the california rhinoplasty ep, or the Civil War album), and Bogdan Raczinski (spelling?) is also a fave.

happy downloading!

Almost Done - Morcheeba
Angel - Massive Attack

Venetian Snares Is A Giant Alien Force More Violent And Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine.

"D.J.S" song- Sublime (40 oz. to freedom)- heard it for the first time when I was trippin on acid in a car with nice surround sound- scared the begeeberz outta me- so cool.............

DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, DJ Cam and Funki Porcini are pretty nice.

very true. A lot of trance & psytrance is good trippy stuff too.

The Art Of Trance - Breathe

I sent it to my friend to listen to when he wanted something to trip out to, and he started freaking out..heh.. the sound goes around all speakers, or around your headphones.. it sounds amazing, and I'm not one to listen to much trance.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Tricky yet.

Try Christiansands or Excess. Or Suffocated Love.

Portishead is also kind of trippy.

anything by blues magoos, especially their "psychedelic lollipops" album.

also white rabbit by jefferson airplane

Hampton the Hampster - Hampster Dance
Any Music or Video by Bjork
Prodigy "smack My bitch up" Particularly the unedited video though...
Anything Aphex twin
Outkast - Dracula's Wedding
The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist

In my first post I mentioned Tool and NIN as trippy for a certain kind of trip. Add Rob Zombie to that list.

Ever listened to a Fatboy Slim extended mix in an altered state?

I nearly pulled my bottom lip over my ears halfway through 'Everybody Needs a 303'

Any of the more recent stuff by Radiohead..

Godspeed you Black Emperor...

I dont own too much trance on vinyl but i've got that. It's a classic...

A lot of stuff by Porcupine Tree. Always never, Waiting Phase I, Waiting Phase II and Siren.
