Can anyone reccomend some music to listen to while "tripping" or high? I have a few but I'm trying to make a compilation CD for the occasion. Any help is greatly appreciated.

phish

Velvet Acid Christ or Download (that's the name of the band). They make you feel like you're high even when you're not tripping =)

spiritualized "ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space"
spacemen 3 "performance-live at the milkweg"
the flaming lips "the soft bullettin"
pink floyd "piper at the gates of dawn"
or any syd barrett
sly and the family stone
if you want to buug out really hard on sounds this is what your looking for...trust me
phish will ONLY sound good (maybe) if your tripping although if that's the kind of stuff yr into, well, this might be a little too much

I'll take this opportunity to thank junglist for introducing me to phish.

hell yeah to velvet acid christ! try trance-ish shit like paul oakenfold or paul van dyk or dj garfield. and trip-hop like soma sonic(yeah thats the name!) is great. oh and the beatles!! yellow submarine, sgt.peppers, abbey road, any of that! fuck yeah!

Floyd is good. Grateful Dead is the shit. However, live Phish shows rock! You can go the other route and search for electronic music...jungle/trance/techno but I got tired of the sound very quickly. Perhaps it's b/c Plastikman's hometown is here and it was all so...so very trendy at the time. Aphrodite doesn't cut it for me either. That's just my opinion...don't jump down my throat plz!

But ever since the Dead stopped touring, I turned to Phish [JB crew, initially ]. Now Phish isn't doing any shows and I itch to see another show. I'm not holding my breath though.

Although I listen to a variety of music...Phish shows, Phish kids, and Phish lot will always remain in my heart. As well as Dead shows/lot [although they're two separate worlds].

This thread is leading to the "Rock and Roll" hall of fame forum.

**got over the Dead not touring**
**misses Phish tours**
**still has her ticket stubs in her hand**

Love,
Dank.

wow, thanks for all the replies guys. I'm checking out everyone listed above and will be on a downloading spree tonight

yep i forgot to say yes to phish
and for jungle/drum-n-bass get some dieselboy.
adn for the hell of it get lots of keoki and dj dara and dave aude

I just downloaded some of that Velet Acid Christ, some of it is some awsome shit! I suggest everyone d/l

i just had a thought - might some darkwave/hardcore/evil techno lead to a dark and foreboding trip? in my opinion, the scary yet good trips are worse than bad trips...giant bloody pigs with knives and nooses is not too cool...but maybe im wrong;keep the lights on;0

yeah, I'll do that. I just made an Velvet Acid Christ CD, great stuff

I only smoke pot and havent tried acid, but might someday.
anyway i listen to a lot of music that sounds great stoned:
Dead Kennedys, Sublime acoustic, the pixies, Common Rider, Bob Marley, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Joey Ramone, Ween, Dropkick Murphys, The Clash, US Bombs, Angelic Upstarts, The Cramps, Stiff Little Fingers, The Meteors and Flogging Molly. Music is pretty much my life...
Its pretty cool to get real stoned and play a guitar or mess around with a drumset every once in a while

Bob Marley!

.. Im suprised no one mentioned The Doors, or Blind Melon.. or just Jim Morrison by himself.. thats some good music to listen to while high or fryin.

aphex twin

if your trippin I would go with Richie Hawtin (Plastik Man), prefrerably some of his older trippy shit.

otherwise if your rollin or just high, i would go with some hard, dark jungle... like soul-slinger or Dillinja

Like quandary said, aphex twin to fuck ur head up! Maybe something chilled like moby, orbital or icelandic cool water music (that shit is fuckin top). what about m.c. hawkins??

I'm going to list some here. They are all from the 60's. If you are willing to go back that far in musical time you will find that they are most exellent to listen to while tripping [remember: acid rock and psychedilic were terms given to music that was meant to be heard while tripping and/or music that helped recreate the psychedilic experience]. I've had countless hours of tripping pleasure from all of these. [Since Floyd goes without saying and has already been mentioned, I won't list it here].

Vanilla Fudge: Their first album and Renaissance are the best two, though any of their records are good to trip to.

Electric Prunes: Mass in F-Minor

Spooky Tooth: Ceremony, The Last Puff [this has a great psychedilic version of 'I'm the Walrus'. It can also be found on 'Best of Spooky Tooth]

Iron Butterfly: Inna-Godda-Da-Vida [The cliche acid song]

Argent: Nexus

The Rolling Stones: Their Satanic Majesties Request ['2000 Light Years from Home' and 'She's a Rainbow' are the best off this album]

The Doors: Anything by the Doors is good to trip to, but the first two albums and 'Absolutly Live' stand out.

Hendrix: This should also go without saying

Mothers of Invention: Any of the early recordings [this was Frank Zappa's first band].

Harry Partch: [though this guy isn't really 60's, let alone rock, he is never the less very good to trip to, though kind of hard to find.]

Dukes of Stratosphere: The 'Dukes' are really the members of XTC who did a couple of records under this name, but they really got down what is was that made psychedilic music psychedilic: They do it better than many 60's groups did.

King Crimson: First two albums are the best

Black Sabbath: Though not technically psychedilic, their first two albums are great while tripping


There are many more, but these are the best examples. If you decide to be bold enought to try any and decide you like, Ill be happy to offer up more.

Phish, The Doors, Pink Floyd are cool
Aphex Twins are pretty good, But the best ever to listen to is Hendrix

You have to check out some Esham, and Natas, shit its straight acid rap. The trax are so deep youll hear all sorts things, the music will fucking engulf you...That is if your into rap. At any rate you should check it out.

boards of canada, the song aquarius is the best!

orange

yeah thats right

I'm surprised no-one metioned Pink Floyds 'Dark Side of the Moon' album. I still shit myself when Time kicks in - You never really can predict when the bells are going to start...

If you know what I mean!

Several of us has mentioned Pink Floyd. And when you mention floyd, DSOTM goes without saying.

Now for those who don't know all of Floyd: try Pipers at the Gates of Dawn, their first album. It's with Syd Barrett, not Gilmore [Gilmoure?]. It's like it's a different band. Syd was a f**king genius. Acid burn-out, but genius none the less.
