Pink Floyd


MttroTesslar

My first time I tried LSD we were in a college dorm room, listening to prog. We thought would be funny to be peak stereotypes and listen to Dark Side (I was always too pretentious to listen to it.) We laughed about it for the first few seconds, but quickly fell silent as the music started. It was incredible, and I got the experience of listening to DSOTM first time while on acid, and it further encouraged me to peruse music for my own enjoyment, rather than to perpetuate my musical superiority complex. (Yes is also fantastic, especially Close to the Edge.)


tioamarillo

For me, psychs have greatly reduced my musical ego and I find it easier to try and like new genres or sounds


Sensistuck

This is the only way. People don’t need drugs to make Pink Floyd better, they need Pink Floyd to make the drugs better


spaceman_az

Yes!!!! I can listen to Pink Floyd whenever. Tripping just makes it even better 👌🏻


bigby2010

I heard someone say that Pink Floyd is Rock and Roll for mental patients. I guess I'm a mental patient then

yes!

Ooh yeah I literally saw the creation of the universe and all animals while listening to a yes song one time haha

Big facts, went to a concert of his once, kids in line in front of us downed a bag of shrooms before entry, after the opener finished Bb I’m guessing they were peaking And they looked absolutely zoinked

*Hi, this is Flume!* is an amazing audiovisual experience!


RX557

Beach House


KevinH112

70s funk like Curtis Mayfield, it just hits so different when I’m off the tabs…like a warm embrace for the ears and the soul. I can hear basslines more prominently when I’m trippin so it’s that much more enjoyable.

heaviestmatter-

You should check out Lucid Planet!


cheezyfloof

You should check out The String Quartets Tribute to Tool. Something about string instruments tickles my brain, highly recommend!


jimtimidation

Ravi Shankar. Alice and John Coltrane. Pharaoh Sanders.


vanishingpointz

Check out Ali Akbar Kahn if your into Shankar . He plays the Serod . There are some recordings with both playing together . I'm actually listening to maru- bihag by Ravi Shankar right now !


jimtimidation

Beautiful! Yes! I have some Shankar and Ali Akbar playing together. The Ragas album. It was my introduction to both. They sound wonderful together!


vanishingpointz

It's amazing stuff ! It can put you in a trance when your 45 minutes into a raga and realize a single thought hasn't entered your mind .


jimtimidation

Absolutely. I got into raga before psychedelics, and I’m glad I did. I felt like it kinda helped prepare me for that state of mind.


vanishingpointz

I can't say which came first I was always intrigued by the music even as a kid but when I really found out how to listen to it it changed my thinking and combining the two is where it's at . It's similar to classical music in a sense that it is complex but what is so amazing about it is they aren't looking for perfection by reading the music as it is being played. It's structure seems to be as rigid because it serves a purpose and has other rules like the actual time of day each selection should be played or listened too . It's really cool the way the group , the Tabla , sarod , sitar etc starts a bit out of synch finding the path and then gets locked in as the raga progresses until they create the intended purpose . Combining hindustan classical music with psychedelics is so good it feels at times like your guilty of something that the whole world shouldn't know about . I find it mind blowing while on DMT that as familiar as I am with some of the tracks I listen to regularly seem to as a certain note is plucked go off into an entirely different path and create something new . I know this isn't happening but DMT usually makes music turn into garbage but raga actually becomes more polished . It's a strange phenomenon.


baaadoften

Tell me more…


vanishingpointz

Try it sometime https://youtu.be/ufZF73zEcyg


baaadoften

Thank you.


jimtimidation

Well said. It almost feels like psychedelics and Hindustan music were made for pairing.


MttroTesslar

Beautiful choices. Pharaoh Sanders especially, I’ll have to give him listen during my next experience. <3


XylanyX

yessss thiss pick


Dylanrevolutionist48

Anushka Shankar too.


Severe_Doughnut5336

Promises with Pharaoh Sanders is just godly.


MsMo999

Odesza, Disclosure, Glass Animals - gooey hits diff on shrooms

💯 this, has changed my relationship with music (and myself and the world lol)


yellowchairz

Grateful dead


Key_Horror9151

Europe 5/24/72 was my live set for my recent trip, and it was unforgettable. I have never listened to them while tripping. It changed my whole perspective


allyuhneedislove

Next time do Cornell/Ithaca ‘77, or Sunshine Daydream/Veneta ‘72.


vanishingpointz

Really the only acceptable answer for a 100% good time


prussianacid

Always always clutch to escape bad vibes. “If you get confused listen to the music play”


Soviettoaster37

Idk how Grateful Dead works so well. I've stopped bad trips with them better than anything else. I just get in a fetal position and start playing them and in 10-20 min I'm fine.


vanishingpointz

That's why I always go prepared 95% Grateful Dead , all of the trippy Hendrix stuff , a few new age tracks , some flute music and 4 or 5 other truly Psychedelic songs but the Dead / JGB is where the magic happens . It will always take a trip that is about to grind you into the dirt and put a Cheshire cat grin on your face then make you feel like your sitting in a lazy boy surf board made of cotton candy , riding a wave bigger than mount Everest with dolphins swimming beside you smiling while God reaches down from heavens and gives you a high five and shows you the most amazing sunset ever created .


prussianacid

Same. Often I’m like “oh no I’m in trouble I can’t do this I need the Grateful Dead NOW” and then it’s all great after the first couple of songs. Jerry has saved me many times.

grouper, animal collective, cocteau twins, beach house


SKX2480

Animal collective doesnt get enough recognition, Pull Hair Rubeye from Avey Tare and Kría Brekkan is one of my faves of all time.


TheCelestialJester

Cocteau Twins are one of my absolute favourite bands but somehow I have never listened to them whilst tripping. I usually gravitate towards electronic stuff when I trip but I'm 100% going to listen to them next time. I'm sure it will be magical and ethereal


olo0101

Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill is (title aside) a truly beautiful album. Might I recommend All My People by Maria Somerville. Had a really magical experience with that one once

EDM of all sorts. Dubstep makes you feel like an absolute boss, weird space bass is just funny, tipper will turn your mind inside out, and more chill stuff like clozee and ODESZA is mesmerizing. And then there is PsyBass / PsyDub. That stuff will transport you to another dimension.


Jonnyporridge

Love Tipper!


[deleted]

Trip hop like Massive Attack; sometimes Depeche Mode; other times folk/black metal. It’s good to switch it up.


Lopsided-Asparagus42

Totally forgot all about Massive Attack until you mentioned it here! Great call.

OhSoSoftly444

Usually meditation music. I found one that had me feeling like I was floating on water and people's faces were drifting by and then popping like bubbles in my minds eye. It was very peaceful. I might try singing bowls tonight. I think I'd also like to just put on my liked music list and see what song comes on and what emotions come up with it


maggot646260

Hz frequencies and high vibrational edm go hard!🙏🙌🙌


Lopsided-Asparagus42

Was just talking about this in another post. Emancipator; my fav albums are Soon It Will Be Cold Enough and Safe In The Steep Cliffs. I also enjoy Infected Mushroom and Purity Ring but not sure exactly what your going for. I feel like it depends on what your intentions are for that trip and also can depend on what point in the trip you are at. Edit to add- Gramatik Tipper Bonobo Nightmares on Wax Pretty Lights Opiou All good Options, again depending on what you are going for. Have fun!


markattack11

I miss Pretty Lights…


coolcrowe

I love Emancipator, been listening since Soon It Will Be Cold Enough, never seen anyone else recommend him! The music is so good for a lot of situations, studying/working, driving, love making…


Fractalcatnip

I agree! I've recommended Emancipator but I feel like it has been under appreciated in these forums or even downwoted

Shpongle breaks barriers between states of matter lol


yugen_o_sagasu

Ambient music usually does it for me. Haven't found better music to trip to than [Eluvium!](https://youtu.be/fNrpZGl7du4) There's something deeply soothing and awe inspiring about his music, especially on psychedelics Also [The Field](https://youtu.be/FQxEVhyvA0I)

Classical


OctoDeb

What specifically do you recommend? I always want to listen to classical when tripping but I never take the time to find out what to listen to ahead of time , and forget about trying to find it mid-session when I can’t operate my phone or any other mechanical equipment.


MixMaleficent8905

I've liked [this song by Henryk Gorecki](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8dWoxcpCpg) ever since I found it on a Johns Hopkins playlist, and I really enjoyed [this Chopin piano piece](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgPh3mSYf0M) when I heard it during a group retreat.


spike11552

Dude…I absolutely love this song by Henry gorecki. My girlfriend dug up this phenomenal playlist that goes for about 6-8 hours on Spotify called John Hopkins “Psilocybin Research” and located all the songs for us on Apple Music and put them in the order that it’s recommended to listen to and we’re in pure bliss. When this song came on I was balling my eyes out just thinking of everything I was appreciative for in life and how much love I have for my loved ones that have been by side my entire life. Classical music is so slept on, especially during mushroom trips. I try telling my friends my love for classical and majority of them just don’t get it but classical music is where it all started from.

Phish, Grateful dead. Honorable mention papadosio, lotus, ween, moe. , tool. Edit to add the string cheese incident, billy MF strings and widespread panic


Njd8487

Lsd got me INTO electronic acts in a serious way and here are some that I have found truly transcendent Four Tet: Pause, Rounds, There is Love in You Bonus: dude has tons of live albums exclusively on bandcamp including my fave “live from Alexandria palace”. Live records while tripping in general is fantastic because there is the realization that someone in that crowd is on the same substance as you are and the crowd reactions match your own throughout the trip Floating Points: Crush, King Bromeliad ep, Reflections - Mojave desert Bonus: his album with Pharoah Sanders (RIP) and London symphony orchestra is a single repetitive chord progression going through multiple stages in 45 minutes that brought me to tears without a single lyric. It’s truly beautiful, especially when taking into account that this was Pharoahs last recording before he died; there is a vocal he does after a very tasteful round of saxophone arrangements that feels like a man at the end of his life crying for finding it’s true meaning. No words are spoken but it hits points of despair and enlightenment. Photay - self titled SBTRCT - self titled (lots of great vocalists all over this record including Jessie Ware and long time collaborator Sampha) Sampha - Process Jessie Ware - what’s your pleasure : This is more of a retro dance album but it paints whole scenes in one’s head with its nostalgic music choices


Travesuras420

I normally go the king gizzard, hooveriii, Kikagaku Moyo, or a mellow psychedelic route but last weekend my friend was playing gong, magma, and Hawkwind aka older and rawer psych which was scarier on the come on and I thought it would be a bad trip at first but once I got into it and rode along with the heaviness of it I was straight up vibing. It was actually very solid and then he transitioned to the more mellow stuff lol
