| Ultimate Trip Guide: Music
Some people like to take psychedelics. One of the properties of psychedelics is increased appreciation of music. Some people dont know what to listen to. This list is albums that you can't go wrong spinning during your experience. | | 1 | | Traditional Psychs
Lucy, Fungus, Etc
There's all sorts of psychs out there, ranging from the traditional trifecta of cid, shrooms, and mescaline, to funky dissociative ones like k, nitrous, and dxm, to those infused with stimulant properties like mdma and the 2c series, to psychedelic phenelthylamines with monster run times and intense effects like the obscure dob, dom, and stuff like that, and dont forget the ever lovable atypical psychs like the tryptamine-based dmt and salvia divinorum. This list focuses on albums that I feel are most inclined to the Traditionals. More lists might come in the future too on the others i dunno | | 2 |  | The Flaming Lips
Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
The Flaming Lips (personally my all time favorite band) are the cream of the neo-psychedelic crop. Their album I most prefer for trippin is Yoshimi, filled with lush electronics and infectious melodies, not to mention Wayne's puzzling yet philosophical lyrics that make for a highly enjoyable experience, especially on psychs. Are You a Hypnotist, Do You Realize??, and Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (personal all-time fave track) are standouts. All songs are brilliant regardless. | | 3 |  | The Flaming Lips
The Soft Bulletin
It's really hard to go wrong when picking a Flaming Lips album, especially for tripping. With exceptional narrative and contemplative lyrics from Wayne as well as top notch musicianship and poppy melodies The Soft Bulletin provides for an intense, thoroughly enjoyable psychedelic listening session. All the tracks are standouts making it tough to pick a finite few, but Feeling Yourself Disintegrate, The Spark that Bled, and Waiting For a Superman are all very magical songs. | | 4 |  | The Flaming Lips
Embryonic
The final Flips album on this list, Embryonic saw the band return to a style more similar to some older material, especially due to the more lo-fi sound. The slightly more abrasive/pointed style of the album makes it a great choice for those ultra-intense higher doses (lots of ego death lyrics). The only negative aspect to this album is the length and certain tracks with directionless jams/noises/etc, but its not like youll care in your elevated state. The second disc is slightly better as a whole however. Standouts include Worm Mountain, Silver Trembling Hands, and Watching the Planets. The Flaming Lips entire discography is basically a must-listen during trips, especially their other albums Clouds Taste Metallic, Transmissions From the Satellite Heart, and At War With the Mystics (criminally underrated tbh) and Zaireeka. Listen to all of them. | | 5 |  | The Doors
Strange Days
The Doors second album is a basic progression from their debut, and is every bit as good and even better than s/t, not to mention whilst trippin. Organs, bouncing bass and guitar lines, and of course Jim Morrison and all his antics highlight the album. Standouts include psychedelic classic When The Music's Over, Strange Days, People are Strange, and My Eyes Have Seen You. | | 6 |  | The Doors
The Soft Parade
Written off by many a Doors listener, The Soft Parade is personally one of my favorite Doors albums, battling neck and neck with Strange Days. TSP sees the Doors exploring various musical styles and ideas resulting in by far their most diverse work, a highly engaging listen. Standouts: The Soft Parade (one of the best Doors songs), Touch Me, and Shaman's Blues. Forget what youve heard about this album and listen to it for what it is. | | 7 |  | Animal Collective
Merriweather Post Pavilion
AnCo's most popular release, MPP is chock full of mind seizing rhythms, repetition, electronic bliss, and pop goodness. A must-listen for trippers, this album occupies a special place in my heart/mind being the first that I ever experienced on a psych. I thought it was like an instruction manual for the trip when I heard it, but interpret it how you will, thats the glory of psychs. All the tracks are stellar, but choice cuts include In The Flowers (that climax holy ***) Daily Routine, Guys Eyes, and the wildly entertaining Brothersport. | | 8 |  | Animal Collective
Feels
AnCo gets 2 albums in this list (like a few other acts) because of their sheer psychedelic qualities and importance, not to mention a biased personal sentiment belonging to yours truly. More natural feeling than the quirky, electronic saturated releases that follow, Feels is a chill album to throw on in your trip, especially on mushies. I also had a brilliant experience with this album on the second plateau of DXM. Enjoy, standouts: Do You See the Words, Grass, Bees, Bansheebeat, Daffy Duck/Loch Raven | | 9 |  | Fripp & Eno
Evening Star
One of the best ambient albums ever released, Evening Star sees legendary King Crimson guitarist and master of his instrument Robert Fripp team up with ambient pioneer/king Brian Eno to give an intensely relaxing journey through your mind. By far one of the most straight up 'chill out' albums, this ones also great for sleeping. Fripp's guitar wonders over Eno's soft ambient sounds paint wondrous pictures in the minds eye and your immediate surroundings. All are standouts cause tracks dont really matter on this release | | 10 |  | King Crimson
In The Court of the Crimson King
KC's debut and best album, ITCOTCK has lyrical themes exploring mythological/medieval imagery, and of course the human psyche/anti-Vietnam themes in "21st Century Schizoid Man". From frantic freakout jams to soft relaxing ballads, ITCOTCK has the spectrum covered for your experience. Being only 5 classic tracks, all are standouts. | | 11 |  | King Crimson
Discipline
The first of KC's wonderful trilogy of 80's releases, Discipline is arguably their trippiest outing. Laden with the interlocking guitars of Fripp and Belew, punctuated by bass/chapstick legend Tony Levin and former Yes drummer Bill Bruford, Discipline is an album you can't go wrong with. Not to mention Belew's highly interesting lyrics. The music is very similar to Talking Heads' Remain in Light, yet distinctively Crimson. Highlights: Elephant Talk, Frame by Frame, Thela Hun Ginjeet, The Sheltering Sky | | 12 |  | Kyuss
Welcome To Sky Valley
Hailing from the psychedelic hotbed of Southern California, particularly the desert region in the southeast/central area of the state, Kyuss brings the fuzzy stoner jams. Garcia's powerful delivery, as well as the excellent musicianship of Josh Homme (who of course formed Queens of the Stone Age, another great trippin band), and ace drummer Brant Bjork make Sky Valley the quintessential Kyuss release, and a wonderful tripper. Be sure to check Blues for the Red Son as well, just slightly behind this album in terms of quality. Standouts: Gardenia, Space Cadet, Demon Cleaner, Whitewater. | | 13 |  | Pink Floyd
Relics
The most stereotypical band for those who are tripping, Pink Floyd is sure to deliver a memorable psych experience. Relics is a collection of their older psychedelic pop material, with much Syd Barrett influence being felt. Some tracks from studio albums, others being singles or previously unreleased, Relics has everything you need in an album on psychs. Ace tracks include Julia Dream, Arnold Layne, Interstellar Overdrive, and Careful with that Axe, Eugene. | | 14 |  | Pink Floyd
The Dark Side of the Moon
Dont act like you didn't think this album would be here, or that Pink Floyd shouldnt have multiple entries. A stone cold psychedelic classic, DSoTM delves deep into the human consciousness, exploring existence and madness. A perfect choice for any dose level, the album takes on a much more profound significance once youve experienced. Best tracks are Time (with like the greatest guitar solo ever), The Great Gig in the Sky, Brain Damage, and Eclipse. | | 15 |  | Pink Floyd
Animals
The third and final PF release for this list, a renewed personal interest in this album led me to trip to it and let it battle Meddle for the title of my favorite Pink Floyd album. With the stellar quality expected of Floyd, the excellent music on this album will fuel quite the trip. The lyrics explore the different types of people, with the psych experience augmenting this facet of course. All 5 tracks are great. | | 16 |  | Talking Heads
More Songs About Buildings and Food
David Byrne is great. Especially on psychs. Building off TH:77, MSABAF contains top-notch pop songs with the whacked-out lyrical sensibility of Byrne and wondrous repetitive melodies. Essential tripper. Standouts: Found a Job, Stay Hungry, The Girls Want to be with The Girls, The Big Country. | | 17 |  | Talking Heads
Remain in Light
Talking Heads needs two entries in this list. Remain in Light is regarded by many as the premier Heads release, and possibly rightly so (Fear of Music takes the cake for me personally). The bouncy melodies similar to the aformentioned KC album Discipline make this an essential listen. Byrne and Belew are also very similar characters, not a surprise given Belew's association with the band and appearance on this album, released just shortly before its Crimson counterpart. Standouts include the ever classic Once in a Lifetime, Born Under Punches, and The Great Curve. | | 18 |  | The Beach Boys
Pet Sounds
Better than any Beatles album (suck it)/(speaking of the Beatles, who I didn't plan to put in this list, their last several releases are all psych musts) Pet Sounds is THE pop album, and Brian Wilson and the boys make sure of it. Catchy as hell, this will be stuck in your head for a while after your experience. The best songs from it are I Know There's an Answer/Hang On to Your Ego, Wouldn't It Be Nice, and God Only Knows. | | 19 |  | Acid Mothers Temple
Crystal Rainbow Pyramid Under The Stars
This entry may as well apply to the whole Mothers discography. Principally intense psychedelic freakouts, this band is best experienced on those completely bonkers chaotic upper dose trips. Pink Lady Lemonade (Inner Space) is a pretty chilled out release though, also pretty damn good. The Mothers will own your mind. | | 20 |  | Amon Duul II
Yeti
One of the most well-known and premier Krautrock acts, Amon Duul II's Yeti takes great early 70's rock and puts a nice psychedelic/jam spin on it. A pretty faced paced album, this ones always a great choice and will keep you wildly entertained. Best tracks are Soap Shop Rock, Cerberus, Yeti, and Sandoz in the Rain. Fun Fact: Sandoz Industries was the company Albert Hoffmann worked for. | | 21 |  | Can
Future Days
THE krautrock band, Can boasts some of the greatest, most psychedelic musicans known to man; The human drum-machine, Jaki, and atypical Japanese singer Damo Suzuki being the most important. Its hard to go wrong with any can release, including the brilliant releases Monster Movie and Delay... 1968 featuring the band's first singer, an eccentric American who had to quit the band because the lifestyle/habits involved were taking an intense toll on his only human brain. Suzuki filled his shoes without a hitch, and defined can through their landmark releases Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi, and the much more relaxed Future Days. Soundtracks is also a great album choice, boasting one of the premier Can tracks in "Mother Sky". There could've possibly been two entries for Can, and since this applies more to the band as a whole, the standout tracks will as well. These are (p much chronologically): Yoo Doo Right, Butterfly/Little Star of Bethlehem, Mother Sky, Mushroom/Halleluhwah, Vitamin C/Spoon, and all of Future Days. The Can box set known as The Lost Tapes is also a great listen, especially while tripping. You could probably knock it in one sitting on a trip despite its 3~ hour run time. #TripCan | | 22 |  | Fela Kuti
Roforofo Fight
Who doesn't like Afrobeat? If you're unfamiliar with this concept, this artist/album is a great place to start. Its basically African jazz with a fusion influence. Highly instrumental, this album is an intense jazzy jam with much the musicianship being spectacular form the horns to the rhythm section. Fela is a fantastic artist. There's only 4 songs on this so just listen to all of em, trip well. | | 23 |  | Yes
Close To The Edge
Yes is one of the Big 4 of prog, and rightly so. Not to mention they're magnificent on a trip. Close to the Edge is widely regarded as Yes' best, featuring the wondrous 20 minute title track, as well as two disgustingly enjoyable songs on the second half in And You And I and Siberian Khatru. This one's so good its not even funny. Love spinning the vinyl, especially trippin, and probably like the second half better. Its all beyond good though, so dont fret. | | 24 |  | Yes
Tales From Topographic Oceans
Yes has to get 2 in this list. One of their less popular releases, TFTO is a monster double album centered on frontman Jon Anderson's fascination with Shastic Runes. Makes for quite the experience on some high powered blotter. Theres four 20 minute songs, and all are delectable, especially in this state. | | 25 |  | Genesis
Selling England by the Pound
Continuing our prog theme, SEBTP is an essential prog classic and a real treat while under the influence of certain mind-altering chemicals. Firth of Fifth is a song powerful enough to melt your balls off, from the great verses to the exceptional flute/guitar solos on the 9 minute highlight. Not to mention like the lowest recorded bass (by a real instrument of course). Dance with the Moonlight Knight, More Fool Me, and The Battle For Epping Forest are also great. Best experienced on vinyl using a really expensive stereo, and a head full of chemicals always helps. | | 26 |  | Jethro Tull
Thick As a Brick
I could've gone either way between this and Aqualung, but regardless Tull needed to be represented. Fueled by folky influences, this prog classic masterminded by the one and only Ian Anderson will be quite the trip. 2 halves to the forty minute song, you know what to do. | | 27 |  | Marijuana Deathsquads
Tamper, Disable, Destroy
I'm admittedly a Deathsquads fanboy, but I'll be damned if they arent superb on a trip. Like a hip-hop/electronic crossover, T,D,D will fuel your imagination and trip with a modern spin that sounds great. Personally I think this release is better suited for Lucy, and I'm a huge fan of subsequent releases Music Rocks Vol. I and II/Oh My Sexy Lord. Those releases, unlike TDD, I feel are excellent candidates for the soundtrack to a ketamine experience (they make a good one, trust me. OMSL is probs a lil better). Artist standouts include: We Do This, Goddamnland, Top Down, MGatP, Paper Cuts, Claw of Shame, Remembories, Ewok Sadness, and the wonderful Vibrant Beast. The Crazy Master album is also a good one. | | 28 |  | Michio Kurihara
Sunset Notes
Michio Kurihara hails from Japan, and he is a master of the guitar, especially when it comes to psychedelic tunes. There's an extemely heavy Robert Fripp influence, which is okay because Fripp is awesome. Completely instrumental, this album is a great one to spin on lucy/fungus featuring fuzzy jams, unique guitar solos, and Fripp & Eno-esque ambient tracks towards the end, this ones a must-hear on your trip. Standouts: Pendulum on a G String ~ The Last Cicada, Twilight Mystery of a Russian Cowboy, The Old Man and the Evening Star (love that F&E reference), and A Boat of Courage. | | 29 |  | Miles Davis
Bitches Brew
Jazz and psychedelics should be a far more popular combination. Bitches Brew is one of Miles' wildest releases, and better than excellent fuel for your psychedelic experience. Lean back, relax, and get lost. | | 30 |  | Neil Young
Psychedelic Pill
You could make the case for a lot of Neil Young albums to be here, but the stellar lengthy jams found on this one pushed me to choose it. Neil is in ace form here, and with Crazy Horse at his back he manages to put out an album that sounds great on its own and even better on psychs. Driftin' Back features an epic jam that will send your mind driftin' back through itself. Neil's views as an old man who lived a cherished part of his life in the heyday of psychs and the all-around different time that was the 60's and 70s permeates the album, and I think this makes for a unique psychedelic experience, not to mention its just plain good. Let Neil say whatever he wants, hes earned it. Standouts: Driftin' Back, Ramada Inn (my fave), She's Always Dancing, For the Love of Man, Walk like a Giant. This double album is a goodie. Dont forget Neils other releases, especially his classics from back in the day. Give Re-ac-tor some love too, cause its really pretty good. | | 31 |  | Porcupine Tree
Up The Downstair
Most PTree listeners are only familiar with the newer material, a more refined type of music that demonstrates mastermind Steven Wilsons renewed fondness for heavy music. The prog is still there though. HOWEVER, Tree's back catalogue is ripe with psychedelic goodies, with everything through signify and to a lesser extent Stupid Dream(maybe a littttle bit of LS too) being top notch 90's psychedelia created by a Brit in his late teens with a fondness for acid and space rock. Up the Downstair is probs my favorite of these releases, but The Sky Moves Sideways and Signify are great, and On the Sunday of Life is actually pretty solid despite the disgraceful rating here on sput. Standout PT tracks of this era include: Nine Cats, Radioactive Toy, The Nostalgia Factory, Synesthesia, Fadeaway (my personal fave by a longshot), The Burning Sky, everything from TSMS, Sleep of No Dreaming, Waiting (Phase 1), and Sever. Don't forget to check/trip to Stupid Dream, its great. Also, while I think this Tree era is better, the newer stuff has its merits. | | 32 |  | Quicksilver Messenger Service
Happy Trails
Quicksilver, along with the likes of the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, was one of the biggest psychedelic acts to emerge from the Bay Area in the mid/late sixties. Their best release overall and the one I find most suitable/enjoyable during a trip is Happy Trails, a highly improv based live album. Due to owning and principally experiencing this on vinyl, I regard it accordingly. The first side consists of a massive, wildly entertaining interpretation of "Who Do You Love?". John Cippolina is a psychedelic whiz on guitar, and Gary Duncan provides more than adequate support on the stringed instrument, as well as vocal duties. The second side is original Quicksilver jams, and between the two there are no disappointments. This is a good one to get lost in. | | 33 | | Sleep
Sleep's Holy Mountain
Sleep are legends of stoner rock. They also did their fair share of psychs, and it shows. This album's got the ever-classic Dragonaut, as well as other spacey fuzzed-the-hell-out psychedelic riff fueled numbers and cements itself as a super solid tripper. Highlights are uh Dragonaut, Holy Mountain, From Beyond, The Druid, and Inside the Sun | | 34 |  | Tame Impala
Innerspeaker
Tame Impala's been at the forefront of the psychedelic resurgence of the past few years, and for good reason. Their two albums are two of the best recent psych releases, the brainchildren of the man who is Tame Impala, Kevin Parker. Parker's lyrics are constantly impeccable, putting a psychological/sociological spin on easily relatable topics, especially in tracks like the premier "Alter Ego". These lyrics are backed by stellar fuzzed out and distorted instruments that come together to give an insanely catchy, poppy, and of course mega trippy vibe immersed in production that's made to mimic that of the classic psych releases. Some compare the band to the Beatles, which I suppose has some merit but at the end of the day Tame Impala is in its own league in the new wave of psychedelic bands. Best TI tracks: Alter Ego, Why Wont You Make Up Your Mind, "Runaway, Houses, City, Clouds", Music To Walk Home By, Mind Mischief, Why Won't They Talk to Me?, and Nothing that has Happened So Far Has Been Anything We Could Control. They're all basically standouts tho. Oh yeah and this music is perfect for any dose, low and relaxed or the pure gonzo high ones. | | 35 |  | Television
Marquee Moon
This is a post-punk album. A really, really, really good one. Spearheaded by Tom Verlaine, this NYC outfit almost puts like a proggy (i dunno how accurate that is but its the best word to use) spin on the genre, perfectly exemplified in the 11 minute beast of a title track. The guitars dance on your soul as you move through the time, and guess what, all the other tracks are amazing too. Perfect Tripper; songs to hear are: Marquee Moon, Venus, Elevation | | 36 |  | The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Aufheben
So the BJM is one of the most prolific of the newer psych bands, coming out of San Francisco in the early 90s. The bands early work has a unmistakable and distinctive Spacemen 3 influence, then they shifted to material that was highly reminiscent of The Rolling Stones as the decade progressed. The turn of the millennium saw the band move towards more electronically influenced material, but with their newest release, 2012's Aufheben, the BJM went in a new and completely unique direction. In a way that almost reminds of what Om did to stoner metal, the BJM add a very heavy Middle Eastern and Indian influence to their music. Some of the songs have traditional song structures at their core, but the album features mainly ultra-repetitive tracks that have Eastern instruments such as certain types of percussion and stringed instruments (like the sitar) and keyboards that paint a world thats akin to being in a city such as Babylon in its prime (maybe I get that idea from the song Panic In Babylon) but yeah this music is ultra mystic, ultra trippy, and most importantly ultra good. The rest of the BJM discog is also always a good choice. Best tracks: Viholliseni Maalla, Gaz Hilarant, Face Down on the Moon, Stairway to the Best Party in Heaven, and the rest of the album cause its all just so good. | | 37 |  | Tool
10,000 Days
So this album is like synonymous with psychedelic experience for me. The soundtrack to many trips, this album now embodies like a special meaning and significance, and I dig it. The music's really great too, with the style evolution of Tool over their career culminating in their best release. The most "proggy" (I dont like to call tool prog i dunno) release, 10k Days maximizes the exceptional tracks that Tool is known and loved for while minimizing the essentially pointless interludes that sometimes prevent their previous work from really shining. Not like youd care about the interludes while your brain is frying but still, its nice to have a higher emphasis on the music. Maynard's lyrics are as philosophical as ever, providing tasty mind-candy for the psychedelic voyager, not to mention Jones, Chancellor, and Carey are on point with their respective instruments. All the songs that are songs are fantastic, Viginti Tres is stupid, and the absolute best are Vicarious, Jambi, The Pot, Rosetta Stoned, and Right in Two. | |
tarkus
01.19.14 | psychedelics may have inspired this list, but amphetamines birthed it | tarkus
01.19.14 | yeah imma prob make more of these cause i f'd up and didnt put as many slots as i initally wanted | tarkus
01.19.14 | hep dude these are true jams | tarkus
01.19.14 | yeah dude by no means whatsoever is this a complete list, theres no Dead either which is a shame. also kinda lacking in genres that arent straight psych, like theres a lil diversity here but not even close to enough | InbredJed
01.19.14 | Wow, can you say "feature"? | tarkus
01.19.14 | id be down. even if you arent into taking hallucinogens these are still great albums | InbredJed
01.19.14 | Yeah, you got that right. I enjoyed tripping to ænima more than 10,000 tho ::) | tarkus
01.19.14 | right on, yeah all the tool albums are good choices for the activity. 10k just struck a chord with me that the others didnt | InbredJed
01.19.14 | understandable. Oddly enough, another fav of mine was Era Vulgaris - QotSA along with Catch 33 - Meshuggah. They both kinda seem like odd choices tho, not as classic as the other stones on this list. | tarkus
01.19.14 | im a huge qotsa fan and i dig era vulgaris more than the general culture of music listeners so thats p chill. i used to be into meshuggah like 3 years ago but pretty much lost interest. tbh i dont think ive ever tripped to anything that could really be considered metal, now i thirst to know what its like. tool is "metal" but its not really metal you feel me | tarkus
01.19.14 | exactly dude, tool and sabbath are essentially my only 2 as well. i mean unless you count kyuss and that kinda stuff but i really dont | tarkus
01.19.14 | i would trip to motorhead for sure tho | InbredJed
01.19.14 | yeah its more intense than is really healthy or necessary in that setting.
I don't trip anymore tho | tarkus
01.19.14 | i kinda wanna trip to strapping young lad just to experience it | Thibs
01.19.14 | City and Alien while tripping would be something | tarkus
01.19.14 | for sure. gonna test it out sometime. dunno when, but ill report my findings | DominionMM1
01.19.14 | never found the doors to be all that appealing while under the influence of psychedelics. now floyd on the other hand... | tarkus
01.19.14 | i thought tool might be controversial with a few people but hey i dig it and its pure tripping gold to me so i put it | tarkus
01.19.14 | plus they were far and away my favorite band in middle school and like the only one ive hung on to from that time so i guess im attached | Ire
01.19.14 | oh sam
kat fuck off | tarkus
01.19.14 | ramy and i are cuzzos 4 life hep the bond is unbreakable | tarkus
01.19.14 | oh man i hadnt sped in like 3 months i forgot how boss it can be | DominionMM1
01.19.14 | check out neurosis' a sun that never sets next time | tarkus
01.19.14 | man its been ages since i neurosis'd but yeah i thought a couple weeks ago that trippin to them would be an experience | Ire
01.19.14 | unbreakable
just like that shamylinon movie | tarkus
01.19.14 | were like simon and garfunkel in 1966 | tarkus
01.19.14 | lol nah just addy im in highschool man | tarkus
01.19.14 | thats plausible
whattabout mdma | tarkus
01.19.14 | oh yeah im getting a gram of dmitri next week im so pumped | Ire
01.19.14 | hep you're like the older brother of that dude who sold hard drugs at my high school damn | tarkus
01.19.14 | made the list while speeding, no psychs involved | tarkus
01.19.14 | its one of my fave psychs tbh cause its so short and quick that
A) theres no time or capability for you to do anything on your trip except purely experience
B) from my experience its way more stable than the traditional psychs in terms of capacity for anxiety/terror/badness etc, partially because of its intense speed where its like too fast for bad
so yeah ive done it 4 times and its delightful
and uh have you ever mixed nitrous with acid cause if you havent you need to know that that combination is absolutely perfectly matched | tarkus
01.19.14 | yeah ive done cid 15 times so i have to say ive got a grip on what thats like but i only shroomed once and im def gonna do it again when i get the chance. problem is its wintertime so there are none here | tarkus
01.19.14 | i typed a super long response but sput told me it was too long so ill condense the story: good but super intense (still in a good way) late in it | MisanthropicTurtle
01.19.14 | Very well put together list, but personally I find Tame Impala to be derivative and somewhat boring at times. They're good but nothing spectacular imo. | tarkus
01.19.14 | i can understand that thought process | MisanthropicTurtle
01.19.14 | Also no Kid A? That's just criminal | tarkus
01.19.14 | yeah i just ate em straight up
and i dunno im not the biggest radiohead fan, especially not of kid a and okc. the bends is my fave and i only ever end up listening to stuff on that and like 4 other songs littered across httt and amnesiac basically | tarkus
01.19.14 | yeah theyre one of those bands that i shouldve checked out by now and have been aware of for a while but just havent because of lack of motivation or interest or whatever. ive heard its good tho, will have to | tarkus
01.19.14 | im actually on a highschool issued laptop right now lol so i cant even check it at this point in time as youtube and sites of piracy are blocked and i have no other comp access | InbredJed
01.19.14 | -best method of psilocyben ingestion is to blend slightly in a coffee grinder and then put into yogurt, or some other kind of food. The increased surface area by way of shredding the shrooms limits gut-rot and brings on the effect faster. | insomniac15
01.19.14 | Awesome list, man. I wanna take lsd and float into outer space on Carbon Based Lifeforms, Shpongle and Solar Fields. | PunchforPunch

01.20.14 | drains your spinal fluid and rots your brain dude don't fuck with that | tarkus
01.20.14 | the best course of action is to know as little about the actual psychedelic experience of whatever youre taking (know the basic effects and how youll be physically effective though) in order to minimize preconceptions about what the experience should be that your mind subconsciously acts on and therefore increase the novelty of your trip
everything is misinformation ;) | DominionMM1
01.20.14 | yeah | tarkus
01.20.14 | im too verbose | jdennis31
01.20.14 | +1 to Tarkus post except have a sober buddy with you. I have an inability to let go while on psychadelics and have never been able to fully appreciate my trips, which sucks, but it has also kept me from ever doing anything stupid on any substance.
Also, DMT, adderall, and marijuana are the greatest drugs. DMT to completely open up your mind, adderall to succeed in all facets of life, and marijuana needs no explanation. | jdennis31
01.20.14 | Also +1 to Floyd. My friends and I once took turns going into a pitch black closet and listening to The Wall in full while on dextromethorphan. One of the best trip/music experiences I've had. | menawati
01.21.14 | psychtastic | Azn.
01.22.14 | I can't wait for my 2nd LSD trip | tarkus
01.22.14 | jdennis hits the nail on the head. except im kinda on/off about addy | witchxrapist
01.22.14 | This list is fucking stupid, most of this stuff would upset the crap out of me if I was tripping. There is no stereotypical set of interests for people on psychedelics and it's all a reflection of a persons chemical balance. | Azn.
01.22.14 | yeah really there's much cooler stuff to trip on | Azn.
01.22.14 | saint pepsi is incredible while on acid | witchxrapist
01.22.14 | Talking Heads would be fucking amazing on acid imo. I find myself really really appreciating pretty sounding atmospheric post rock when I'm in a psychedelic state, mostly Explosions In The Sky, Sigur Ros, and Yndi Halda.
I used to get baked out of my mind, I'm saying like smoke an eigth a day and space out to Red Sparowes, that's a pretty psychedelic experience, and in my opinion way moreso than like woe I'm on such acid and listening to FLOYD maaaannnn.... probably because I realize I'm not a fucking hippie from my parents' adolescence. | avantyou
01.22.14 | you put in so much effort for something so meaningless | Azn.
01.22.14 | what? | conesmoke
01.22.14 | cool list, fully immerse yourself in the music. no distractions. it's all about patterned breathing and honing into the vibes. For me at least. m/ | MO
01.22.14 | whoa sick list | aok
01.23.14 | hahahahhaahah | TheSpaceMan
01.23.14 | Fucking awesome list man, love a lot of these albums and tripping to music is obviously amazing... you gotta just go with the what your heart desires at the time and you wont do wrong
as far as psychedelics go...
LSD >>> | CrimsonFloyd
01.23.14 | On dxm right nooow make a dissociative list | adarkishman
01.24.14 | i would listen to like carissa's weird and the antlers and just kill myself when tripping tbh sounds good 2 me thanks | ImmortalPaper
01.25.14 | i dare you all to eat shrooms and listen to verwustung's beyond the watercolor sunset, we feel new life | Phazoen
01.25.14 | 15, 25, 31 aw yeah
31 is PT's best record | jdennis31
01.25.14 | yay, just found acid for the first time in 4 years. only tripped 1 time in the last 4 years too, on shrooms. ooooooohhh yea. | TheSpaceMan
01.25.14 | thats awesome dude, were you able to get a good amount? Lucy can be a bitch to get a hold of and when
it does come around its not always fat pickings | jdennis31
01.25.14 | i got 12 hits for me and 2 friends. It is indeed difficult, i've been looking for a while now. i didn't even think about stocking up, good advice. after typing this out, 4 hits each doesn't seem like enough. | jdennis31
01.25.14 | gel tabs are kinda random too. | TheSpaceMan
01.26.14 | yeah if you put it in a mason jar and keep it somewhere dark, it'll keep for months... gel tabs have always been either really weak or really potent for me haha, when I get my hands on a good amount from the same batch I usually take 1 average sized tab/hit to gauge how more would feel, I've had a tab launch me further than 4 tabs from a different batch | jdennis31
01.27.14 | yo. i'm taking those hits tonight, but a couple of questions if you have the answers. They ended up being those little stamps, not gel tabs. Do you think 4 hits of those would be good enough for a 230 fit, healthy male? also, how much do you usually pay? I've only had a couple experiences with acid, and it was 4 years ago when I paid 10 a hit for gel tabs so I'm not sure what normal prices are. | tarkus
01.27.14 | 10-15 a hit usually and yeah 4 tabs should do ya | TheSpaceMan
01.28.14 | depends on the potency, like I said I've taken a single tab that was $20 and it tossed me into another realm, whereas I've had countless tabs that were barely $10 and it took a few to get me fully tripping
4 might be excessive if you haven't tripped in awhile and you're unsure of the potency, unless you find a place where you can be alone/with people who are okay with you being on it, and you're confident you can handle it. talk to the provider if you can, they probably have tried some from the same batch and can tell you how much to take for an average experience... personally I've never NEEDED to take 4 tabs in order to trip, 2-3 is usually the sweet spot if it isn't a spectacular batch, but the more the merrier if you're prepared for the possible intensity (which can be kick in the balls if you aren't). | tarkus
01.28.14 | yeah ive been kicked in the balls several times its an experience. this will probs be pretty intense. my general rule is take 1 if its your first time, after that at least 2 | DatPinecone
01.28.14 | California by Mr. Bungle would probably be the hypest shit on acid | tarkus
01.28.14 | i can verify this | DominionMM1
01.28.14 | tempted to eat that half zip of boomers in the freezer right now | ANJ45
08.14.14 | Great list, though missing a few things, including Ozric Tentacles and, of course, Shpongle. :::) | ZackSh33
05.21.15 | This is a great list | wacknizzle
05.21.15 | No, Olivia Tremor Control. Fail, but good list. Needs some metal tho | YetAnotherBrick
05.21.15 | amazing list. these are all wonderful albums to trip to, though in my experience i've found that any good music will provide an awesome experience in that headspace. and bad music is even worse. | Royl123
05.21.15 | You forgot Elliott Smith... | YetAnotherBrick
05.21.15 | the next time i trip i wanna just jar myself as hard as possible. I wanna go from like... Streetlight Manifesto, to Burzum, to the Beatles, and then DEP. Something like that. oh and Shpongle and Boards of Canada. super alive electronic music is fucking awesome. feels like you're walking around in another world | Royl123
05.21.15 | ^U GOT BEEF FOO | TheSpaceMan
05.21.15 | DMT is fucking amazing, its always intense af but I've never had a bad experience with it by itself. Its never something i feel like i need to fight or escape from, and it gives me this ringing right before I blast off thats become one of my favorite onsets to a drug... wish it was easier to find
mixed it with 40x salvia once tho, which is the only drug that I'm actually afraid of, and it was one of the scariest out of body experiences ive ever had... broke my friends table and my bong trying to climb back into my body, which was being tossed and crushed by these massive rotating cogs while circus music and childrens laughter played. i felt my body ripping apart and suffocating like there was a wet towel over my face. and that was only the first thing I remember after taking the hit with my buddy's dab torch. it was hands down the most visually intense trip I had from psychs and would never do it again lol | Flugmorph
05.21.15 | bookmarked u son of a dirty dog | Ovrot
09.06.15 | BRING BACK TARKUS |
