Title: best music to listen to while on LSD
Post by: mrxempire on February 28, 2013, 12:44 am
I am an experienced psychonaut, but I almost never take a good sit down and listen to music while im tripping. I usually tend to be more into the visual aspect of things. Next time I dose, however, i think im going to have a nice music session. I've heard that you can never go wrong with pink flloyd, but what other artists have trippy music like this? I've heard that aphex twin is pretty trippy, as well as grateful dead. The song "echoes" by pink flloyd i hear is very mesmerising, but i've actually never listened to it while sober, so it should prove to be an interesting experience when i do listen to it. What else do you reccomend?

All of the songs on Pink floyd's Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd's 'Echoes' (song, not album - it syncrhonises with the film '2001: A Space Odyssey', if you want something to watch with it)

aphex twins.... that shit would freak me out if i was tripping.

i like anything "open".
music can be very closed in and trapped
which leads to stressful feelings for me, its harder for me to let go.

Floyd can be fucking sublime, no kidding.

But - and y'all will think I'm fucking nuts - Indian/African/South American drums, and religious choral (Gregorian chant, Muslim calls to prayer, etc.).

I've heard people say they don't feel euphoria on LSD. I say take these five tabs and this Indian drum CD and text me in the morning.

Favorites have to be boards of canada, the mars volta and pink floyd.
All very different moods can intensify or calm down a trip. Had many special moments listening to the entirety of shine on your crazy diamond while tripping  :D

Here's Pink Floyd's "Echoes' synchronised with 2001: A Space Odyssey:

yes, indian classical music especially sounds good. i'll have to try south african drums as well.

Then there's Bach.

whatever you choose to listen to, I would recommend listening to an album in it's full entirety. Really gives you a new perspective on the album as a whole and what the artists were trying to convey.

Also any Sun Ra album is fucking life changing on acid

This question is too open ended. A trip is so subjective and evolving. I find the best music is that that fits the mood best, so it can be anything. But in a meditative state if you are going lying in bed with headphones on and using it as a soundtrack music that evokes a "deepness" is best. I have been working on such a playlist this week. I may upload it or at least list it. Other than that, listen to what YOU like!

I just said this in another similar thread, but the album Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys is sublime on acid, give it a go!

Agree with the worldy type music too.     The extended version of 'Circle of Life' from the lion king was awesome/kindafunny.

Instrumental jazz can be cool too.

The Beatles haven't been mentioned yet, loadsa good stuff there.

Aaah most things are good!!

Somehow I always end up listening or whirling around to dark psy, which kinda hard for me to listen to while not tripping. I think its mainly made for tripping.
Dunno, if you guys know psytrance icon Goa Gil, but he is playing that shit 24 hours nonstop on his trance dance experience partys 8).

The few times i sat and watched a visualizer tripping it was to lengthy songs. I really liked the songs from the pink floyd album "animals"

Holy crap, yes. What an idea. If you haven't discovered them, incidentally, look for separate audio tracks for Pet Sounds on youtube. Un-freakin-believable.

whatever you choose to listen to, I would recommend listening to an album in it's full entirety. Really gives you a new perspective on the album as a whole and what the artists were trying to convey.

That is a really good idea.

I know this is a music thread, but I'll just add that this is very true of movies as well. I feel like I must be emotionally disabled (the rest of the time) when I come away from watching a movie on psychs - suddenly there's so much there, emotion, subtext, that I can't believe I never noticed any of it before. Can't wait to try that with albums.

This is very true. You just see between the lines on psychs, whether your watching, listening, or looking at movies, music, or art. That goes doubly for creating art.

*Nods to all great bands mentioned here so far*

Oh, God, tribal(what I call tribal) is some of the best you can chill with when tripping. Give me some gypsy violin or Nordic folk  over most modern music any day/night. 
That and Tool, lots of Tool. 
Wardruna is amazing.
Really great nature tracks, chillstep or tribal, coupled with thunderstorm tracks(played at the same time) will take you to another place entirely.
Clean, acoustic is great.
Hell, even really heavy rock/metal can be great, it just depends on teh trip.
Tim Minchin. :D (God, especially if you've never heard him or have any clue of who he is)
Most times the surprises are what make for great trips, planning usually leaves me restless.
I could name at least thirty off the top of my head, then you have branching out into deep soul, great bluegrass, clean acoustic, etc..... I could go all night, baby. ;P

!!  Well there's a surprise I didn't expect in this thread (or on SR, or much anywhere).

Much love for the rock'n roll nerd. And "If I Didn't Have You" is one of the great existentially-aware love songs ever.

Yes, clean guitar, clean drums. I've been meaning to hunt up some thunderstorm tracks. And some track I was listening to earlier had crickets chirping in the background and it was just the best thing ever. Ocean waves, too.

!! Right back to you.  All his work is brilliant, totally underrated. 
Did you know that "If I Didn't Have You" isn't a love song, it's "clearly about math"? The dancing is what really sells it; top notch.
I could never pick a favorite, Storm is up there, Angry Feet, Wossy's ballad, Prejudice, the Pope song....etc, etc.
 He's so dark and brooding, the crickets would go well.

While tripping I like guitar music, really enjoyed Radiohead on my last trip. Also goa/psytrance is nice.  By mistake I put on an album by Nicki Minaj by mistake once, to my suprise I really digged it :p

Beatles blue album (67 - 70) their most virtuoso and playful period - done when they were all tripping their asses off.and contains most of their really  great tracks.

Lucy in the sky
Across the universe
Here comes the sun
While my guitar gently weeps
fool on the hill
etc

will navigate you beautifully through the trip and land you safely

Try any of "The Field." They're really just suck you away into the void -- the music CONSUMES you. It's good for going deep into your own consciousness, not so much listening with a bunch of friends.

Side note: Saw them in concert last year -- one of the best I've been to.

forget pink floyd listen to some REAL acid music that is if you want to trip your balls off.  APHRODITES CHILD 666 the album i am talking about has the four horsemen on it.  thed leading horse is white the second one is red the third one is black the last one is green. and when the lamb opened the second seal.  etc this will take you on a trip like no other music. remember you have to listen to it while tripping to understand   I wish i could remember all the wild tripping music we used to listen to back in the day

Well, in terms of it being about probability, sure. But probability as it relates to the circumstances of life, which is what really sells it. You're just not supposed to think that way. :)

Haven't tried Radiohead. Gorgeous sound but a bit sombre...

acid mothers temple. This music was made specifically for tripping. It doesn't sound that great when sober, but trust me, it sounds good with LSD. my favourite song is 'the beautiful blue ecstacy'.

Trip your balls off at a jam band fest and wonder what the hell you did with the rest of your life!  Nothing like seeing into the dynamics of an improvisation, song transition and the push and pull of the band members on each other, the energy they pull from the crowd.  It has to be experienced to be believed.

Unfortunately the Dead is dead but there are still some kick ass bands out there that can bring you to another and different world each show they play.  Jamtronica is my recent kick, Big Gigantic, Conspirator, STS9 all experienced live are recent highlights....

Live music rules!  Also, my big initiation into mind expanding states with music was Pink Floyd.  No joke, Pink Floyd was decades ahead of their time.  They are genius, all the albums, experienced as full albums are mind blowing.....

you cant go wrong with any 60s psychedelic music.. Led Zeppelin concerts are awesome on acid (i remember seeing the waves of music coming out of my speakers).. personally i close my eyes and listen to classical music, anything with Beethoven on the piano or Bach is awesome brain stimulation!
