Are you talking about music to actually take acid to or "psychedelic" in the "sounds good in the backgroun while I'm working" sense? Because so far, these suck.

EDIT: tv eye's are closer.

I wanna hear that Howlin' Wolf album he recorded around the time "electric mud" came out. If the rest of it as as good as "evil" then it must be amazing

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Thursday, 12 January 2006 18:23 (twenty years ago)

is it psychedlic? "psychedelic sound can be anything from a siren, playing taps for a city to static on a busted amplifier," says madlib

It's a state of mind, man...

― Edward III (edward iii), Thursday, 12 January 2006 18:28 (twenty years ago)

I don't do psychedelic drugs, but these pump my brain to another dimension, even if some stretch the definition of psychedelic a little...

Can - Tago Mago
Pink Floyd - Piper and the good bits off Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother
Boredoms - Vision Creation New Sun

Comets on Fire - Blue Cathedral
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Os Mutantes - s/t
Flaming Lips - Zaireeka

― stew!, Thursday, 12 January 2006 18:31 (twenty years ago)

Special Agent Gene Krupa, as far as "Market Square" goes, if I were on strong acid I don't know if I could take that telephone answering machine message ("pick up the phone, pick up the phooonee").

― Todd Pontius (tee pee), Thursday, 12 January 2006 18:32 (twenty years ago)

i have listened to it enough times sober so that i don't think it would phase me, much. also the interview bit where tom & christina admit that the guy called the next day apologizing.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Thursday, 12 January 2006 18:37 (twenty years ago)

You've got to toss in the Dukes of Stratosphear EP. Brilliant!

byrds - younger than yesterday! maybe rising to become my fave byrds LP...
les rallizes denudes - live 77
the dead c - 43 sketch cassette (will YSI some tracks from this if anyone wants.)

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Thursday, 12 January 2006 18:55 (twenty years ago)

13th Floor Elevators, 'Bull of The Woods'. Easily overlooked compared to the two Elevators' LPs mentioned above, but mental. And a grower.

― 13th Floor, Thursday, 12 January 2006 18:57 (twenty years ago)

all psych fans in having-trouble-limiting-favorites-to-five SHOCKAH!

― don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Thursday, 12 January 2006 18:58 (twenty years ago)

Ghost - Lama Rabi Rabi

is a phenomenal lp and should be included on any 'top psych' list.

― Mr. Butch, Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:02 (twenty years ago)

No Chrome, High Rise, or Acid Mothers Temple yet. Curious.

― Edward III (edward iii), Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:07 (twenty years ago)

top 5 psych-jazz lps:
Miles Davis - On The Corner
Joe Henderson & Alice Coltrane - Elements
Ornette Coleman - Dancing In Your Head
Bill Cosby presents - Badfoot Brown and the Bunion's Bradford Funeral and Marching Band
John Klemmer - Blowin Gold or Waterfalls (doing covers of Third Stone from the Sun vs playing your whole album through an echoplex)

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:11 (twenty years ago)

interesting. in a silent way over on the corner, i'd say

― tv eye, Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:45 (twenty years ago)

i don't like dancing in yer head, actually. my fave psych/jazz album is alice coltrane "Radha-Krsna Nama Sankirtana"

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:52 (twenty years ago)

is that alice/santana or something?

― don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:53 (twenty years ago)

top 5 psych jazz redux:

Miles: Get Up With It (the tribute to Duke Ellington "He Loved Him Madly" is elegiac trip jazz)

Alice Coltrane: Journey in Satchidananda

John Coltrane: Om (for the mantra & for the legend that the band had dosed on LSD-25 before recording) or Live in Seattle for the sheer freak-out value

Don Cherry: Relativity Suite

Herbie Hancock: Crossings

on preview: y'all are gonna have to trust me on Miles--Get Up With It and Bitches Brew far out-psychedelicize OTC (one of the least appealing Miles/Macero pastiches) and In A Silent Way (which anticipates fusion, but is far from the psych of later expeditions from Shorter/Zawinul in WR or Hancock or McLaughlin or even David Liebman's Lookout Farm or Drum Ode).

And Yusef Lateef oboing all over McCann's Invitation to Openness is trip-worthy as well.

"black satin" is super-psych.

sun ra's "atlantis" and "the magic city" could use some considering

Top Five (or Six) Japanese Psych albums of 2005:
Miminokoto - Orange Garage (Last Visible Dog)/Green Mansions (Alchemy)

Aural Fit - Livestock (Slant Eye Archives)
V/A Tokyo Flashback 5 (PSF)

the dead c - 43 sketch cassette (will YSI some tracks from this if anyone wants.)

Yes, please!

― mcd (mcd), Thursday, 12 January 2006 20:00 (twenty years ago)

my fave psych/jazz album is alice coltrane "Radha-Krsna Nama Sankirtana"

i love this one too. but the henderson/coltrane album is totally dubbed out. full of trippy delay and just straight groove

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 12 January 2006 20:03 (twenty years ago)

Dead C - Crazy I Know
Dead C - Polio

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Thursday, 12 January 2006 20:11 (twenty years ago)

Thanks.

― mcd (mcd), Thursday, 12 January 2006 20:36 (twenty years ago)

anything, for you.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Thursday, 12 January 2006 20:36 (twenty years ago)

Thanks seconded.

― Edward III (edward iii), Thursday, 12 January 2006 20:48 (twenty years ago)

Melvins - Colossus of Destiny (totally underrated brain-melting sludge)
Boredoms - VCN
Acid Mothers Temple - La Novia
agree with Edward III re: Chrome - probably 'Alien Soundtracks'
and Timothy Leary - Turn On.

Anyone heard that Yoshimi and Yuka CD? Kind of a more-pastoral Boredoms. Gently psychedelic in a glowing, vibrating, animist Japanese way.

― Joe Bon Jonvi (Joe Bon Jonvi), Thursday, 12 January 2006 21:02 (twenty years ago)

The Legendary Pink Dots - Under Triple Moons

― ratty, Thursday, 12 January 2006 21:03 (twenty years ago)

under the big psych umbrella:

Boredoms - VCN
Can - Tago Mago
White Noise - An Electric Storm
Beach Boys - Smile Sessions
Igor Wakhevitch - Docteur Faust

― Dominique (dleone), Thursday, 12 January 2006 21:05 (twenty years ago)

that's that last one?

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 12 January 2006 21:10 (twenty years ago)

Skipping 7 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

that comp looks interesting. worth the fist of cash?

no. we talked about it a bit in the beginning of the noize ysi thread. the Dr Faust is good and only about one other cd out of five is remotely good. the rest are really spacious (boring) sound scapes. maybe i'll get around to uploading them some day because they're so expensive and hard to get a hold of

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 12 January 2006 22:04 (twenty years ago)

my friend and former (?) ilxor mike o got really into that igor w, based on that PFM piece, dom.

I am poorer now, and FE richer.

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 12 January 2006 22:10 (twenty years ago)

Well, I love every one of those Igor Wakhevitch records. The spaciousness really turns me on. The only bits I can't stand are the wordless utterances made by the woman on Les Fous D'Or.

However, I've never made it past the first hour of Etre Dieu...

― Rombald, Thursday, 12 January 2006 22:12 (twenty years ago)

Top five psychedelic-country records:
Euphoria - A Gift From Euphoria
Space Opera - s/t
Joe South - Instrospect
Don Everly - Sunset Towers
Henry Flynt (i've only got Graduation, and i bet this ain't his best one)

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:12 (twenty years ago)

Top Five psychedelic-soul records
Funkadelic - Free Your Mind (or Maggot Brain)
Rasputin's Stash - s/t
The Grodeck Whipperjenny - s/t
The Temptations - 1990 (i had a hard time choosing. if i had to really choose, i'd pick my mix of all the whitfield produced Temp & Undisputed Truth tracks over 5 minutes)
The Stark Reality - Now

honorable mention goes to The Chamber's Brothers - Time Has Come (but just for the title track)
or Dr John's Babylon (more psych) or Gris Gris (better)

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:13 (twenty years ago)

1990 rules! "ZOOM"

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:17 (twenty years ago)

i'm totally listening to that song right now!

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:19 (twenty years ago)

no one has listed love forever changes or millenium begin

― jeremiah (jeremiah), Friday, 13 January 2006 02:37 (twenty years ago)

neither are remotely psychedelic

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 13 January 2006 03:08 (twenty years ago)

I don't know if I agree w/ that (at least re. Forever Changes).

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 13 January 2006 03:15 (twenty years ago)

Thanks for Dead C thirded, Special Agent.

Instead of listening to my personal "conceptual psychedelic" favorites, I think I will list the five that have reconfigured my mind the most while under the influence:

Einsturzende Neubauten - Halber Mensch
Cocteau Twins - Victorialand
The Body Lovers - S/T (man, that one was intense)
Jean-Michel Jarre - Zoolook
The Legendary Pink Dots - Curse

― sleeve (sleeve), Friday, 13 January 2006 03:15 (twenty years ago)

Mothers of Invention-- "Freak Out" "We're Only In It For The Money"
13th Floor Elevators-- "Psychedelic Sounds Of..." "Bull of the Woods"
Captain Beefheart-- "Trout Mask Replica" "Safe As Milk"
Pink Floyd-- "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn"
and the best psychedelic MOVIE??!!
The Beatles-- "Help"

― lewis (lewis), Friday, 13 January 2006 08:14 (twenty years ago)

What about:

International Harvester - Sov Gott Rose-Marie
Kennelmus
Crash Worship - Asesinos
Spacemen 3 - Sound of Confusion
My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - Confessions of a Knife

― jsoulja, Friday, 13 January 2006 09:22 (twenty years ago)

surprised we've gotten this far w/o mentioning the holy modal rounders. i'd choose, from them, the moray eels eat the holy modal rounders

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Friday, 13 January 2006 16:48 (twenty years ago)

ok jaxon, WHAT IS PSYCHEDELIC?

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 13 January 2006 16:58 (twenty years ago)

PHASING.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Friday, 13 January 2006 16:59 (twenty years ago)

Albums to trip to if you think mental health is overrated:

Buthole Surfers - Rembrandt Pussyhorse, Locut Abortion Technicians
SPK - Leichenschrei
Throbbing Gristle - Greatest Hits, First Annual Report
Slayer - Reign In Blood

― Edward III (edward iii), Friday, 13 January 2006 17:15 (twenty years ago)

i can't even listen to slayer stoned, dude.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Friday, 13 January 2006 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Dr John - Babylon
Crystalized Movements - Revelations From the Pandemonium
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Lee Scratch Perry - Roast Fish, Collie Weed & Corn Bread
Can - Delay, or Future Days

That's likely to all change in 5 minutes ...

― TRG (TRG), Friday, 13 January 2006 17:30 (twenty years ago)

At a party somebody put Reign In Blood in one of those cassette decks that flips sides automatically and we listened to it tripping for a couple of hours. It was intense.

Then we all killed our mothers (j/k).

― Edward III (edward iii), Friday, 13 January 2006 17:32 (twenty years ago)

I think Forever Changes is extremely psychedelic espcially his lyrics. Listening to them stoned really sucks you into Arthur Lee's world and that's a strange, dark, and surreal place to be.

1. Van Dyke Parks: Song Cycle
2. The Beau Brummels: Triangle
3. The Beach Boys: Smile
4. Fleetwood Mac: Live at the Boston Tea Party
5. Bob Dylan: Blonde on Blonde

(This list reflects today's mood.)

― QuantumNoise (Justin Farrar), Friday, 13 January 2006 18:01 (twenty years ago)

"and the best psychedelic MOVIE??!!
The Beatles-- "Help""

no, it's head. head is drenched in acid.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 13 January 2006 18:18 (twenty years ago)

I vote for Psych Out w/ the Seeds and SAC.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 13 January 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

Terry Riley - In C or Descending Moonshine Dervishes

Arvo Part - Tabula Rasa

Harmonia - Musik von Harmonia

Gastr del Sol - Upgrade and Afterlife

Arnold Dreyblatt - Nodal Excitation

― mcbad, Friday, 13 January 2006 21:42 (twenty years ago)

"Gastr del Sol - Upgrade and Afterlife"

DON'T TAKE THE BORING ACID!!!

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:44 (twenty years ago)

scott, do you not like gastr at all? because i think that's a mighty fine album (but pales in comparison to Camoufleur)

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 13 January 2006 21:53 (twenty years ago)

They never did much for me. kinda tedious. i like the cover of upgrade and afterlife. i have the double vinyl of that album and i don't know if i've ever made it all the way through. i get bored and want to hear something else. on the other hand, i have a couple of sea & cake albums that would probably sound lovely on acid. if i still did acid.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:01 (twenty years ago)

not that gastr del sol sound like sea & cake. i just thought of them. i'm not a big bastro fan either.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:02 (twenty years ago)

but, also, gastr del sol are the last band i would think of when thinking of psychedelic music. having said that, when i used to do acid, anything i was listening to at the time was psychedelic music. cuz i was on acid. so, gastr del sol would probably sound just as good on acid as anything else sounds on acid. acid is like that. just turn on the radio and yer mind will be blown.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:09 (twenty years ago)

i can understand you thinking Upgrade & Afterlife (who's cover really is great) is tedious. but seriously, Camoufleur is soooooooo amazing. it's a whole different beast than the entire rest of their oeuvre. beautiful songs, great production, weird sounds

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:18 (twenty years ago)

Upgrade and Afterlife is awesome. Their best, for me.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 13 January 2006 22:30 (twenty years ago)

Hello???

SF SORROW, fercgryinoutloud!!! The Pretty Things are go go gone!

― Ian in Brooklyn, Friday, 13 January 2006 22:40 (twenty years ago)

SF SORROW! I never heard the album, but I always wanted to after hearing that excellent track ("walking through my dreams I think it is called") on the Nuggets 2 box set!

― xgurggleglgllg (xgurggleglgllg), Friday, 13 January 2006 23:23 (twenty years ago)

LOL I did see that "Psych Out" with Jack Nicholson the Seeds and the Strawberry Alarm Clock, but I always thought of that as more comedic if anything! I chose "Help" because it always seemed psychedelic to me without actually intending to be.

― xgurggleglgllg (xgurggleglgllg), Friday, 13 January 2006 23:27 (twenty years ago)

No one's picking United States of America?? Maybe so, I skimmed about half of this thread.

― Kate Silver (Kate Silver), Saturday, 14 January 2006 00:44 (twenty years ago)

As far as movies go, 'Psyche-Out' is cool, but 'Blow-up' is a better period piece and 'Performance' or 'Holy Mountian' are trippier.

As for music, good shouts on 'Locust Abortion technichian' and 'Fear of a Black Planet', but Rallizes Denudes "Heavier than a Death in the Family' is the one I'd really like to trip to.

― Soukesian, Saturday, 14 January 2006 00:55 (twenty years ago)

as of late
swishahouse - houston hard hitters vol. 4 (s & c version)
don cherry - brown rice
dj paul - underground for da summa vol. 16 (s & c version)
orthrelm - OV
bobb trimble - harvest of dreams

and all the alice coltrane and les rallizes denudes is totaaly 2nd'd (or more like 8th'd).

― youwantthemXpillz????, Saturday, 14 January 2006 03:13 (twenty years ago)

Good call, Kate.

― mcd (mcd), Saturday, 14 January 2006 04:49 (twenty years ago)

Vampire Rodents - Lullaby Land
Helios Creed - Last Laugh
Chrome - Half Lip Machine Moves

― LoneNut, Saturday, 14 January 2006 06:49 (twenty years ago)

That Igor Wakhevitch box is INSANE. Total mad scientist music. Nemo probably blasts this one through the Nautilus PA system.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Thursday, 19 January 2006 01:21 (twenty years ago)

five years pass...

Caspar Brotzmann Massaker Home (I tend to find a lot of colour dancing around in my ears when I listen to this)

The New Age All Around (especially Dance Around The Sun where Susan Graubard is playing viola influenced by Sun Ra)

Golden Dawn Power Plant (some of this sounds like Lysergic Monkees, others more complicated, my intro to it was starvation on a Radarscope IA sampler)

Lifetime The Village Gate live set (I prefer them as a 3 piece where they have more room to play around each other)

Larry Young Lawrence Of Newark (there are bits that sound like he's flying a saucershape keyboard around the studio. He got Levitation)

Jefferson Airplane After Bathing at Baxters(my favourite lp of theirs & probably one of favourite lps)

New Kingdom Paradise Don't Come Cheap (probably more blunted than lysergised, still pretty out there)

Sun Ra Strange Celestial Road (my intro to the man/band and a fine example of electric space funk, as is Lanquidity. All 3 tracks are pretty out there but I think the title track is least)

― Stevolende, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 09:11 (fifteen years ago)

Forgot to add Savage Republic Jamahiriya which always sounded fantastic on acid
as did
Einsturzende Neubauten Zeichnungen der Patienten O.T. with all its angular metal percussion reverberation etc.
&
The Pop Group Y which sounds like it's in freefall at the best of times
also loved listening to bits of The Birthday Party, 3th Floor elevators, July, Gun Club Miami, Amon DuulII .

There's a lot more that I could add but I overdid 5 in the first one as it was and the list of additions in 2 could go on .

― Stevolende, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 09:25 (fifteen years ago)
