since i am still virgin to the experience but interested in affecting it, can you all give me your opinions or techniques on how to make good psychedlic/tripping music? like words, phrases, artists, types of sounds, the way you respond to sounds and sound types etc.
thanks!

Buy both Shpongle albums and listen to them about an hour into a mushroom trip for all the resources necessary to understand psychedelia in audio production.

In one word, your music would have to be: Epic
I don't know quite how to describe this to you, and would suggest you try some magical fungi for yourself and find out.

The alltime best music for tripping in my opinion is Cinema Strange.

Well since people are more onto naming artists/groups rather than a particular style that defines good trip music, I'll offer up Cinemaphonic. Though it's difficult to come by their music, they play jazz/soul and it just has the greatest vibe for when you're trippin'

Try something different and try to make your own sound. Don't try to fit into a catergory or sound like a particular artist. I used to try to make trance, but I ended up making experimental/intelegent/ambient tracks instead.
If at all, try not to use that same old techno beat. I'm so fucking sick of that!

me and my band are trying to develop our own sound... we are gearing towards a heavier distorted sound but with interesting dynamics.. i like to think of it as Shroom-Core
i caught glimpses of the sound when we tripped and jammed last week... it sort of reminded me of trance but only done by a band rather than a synthesizer.

It's kinda hard to catogorise music like that, as each time you hear it, it might give you a different vibe, or it just might be too hard to try and describe it accurately.
The best way to know the answers to your questions is test them yourself! Everyone reacts differently to certain music on a trip.
Compile a list of albums that you think would be good for a trip. A good way to test if they MIGHT be good on trips, is have a nice, big smoke up and listen to the album in the dark. Once you've picked out what you think are the best for your trip, then just go for it.
Anyways, I'll give it a shot :
Godspeed You Black Emperor! - very moving, epic, orchestra style rock. songs are around 15 - 20 mins long, and consist of different compositions and pieces/songs into one whole track. quite thoughtful music, very beautiful, a slightly depressing vibe, but it's the kind of music that could move you to tears. great for if you want your trip to have a very epic, thoughtful trip.
Shpongle - interesting, original, unpredictable, psychedelic as fuck! techno, but certainly not even able to be classed as techno. goa is probably the closest you could call it. use of lots of different eastern instruments, incorporated into electronic music. very soundscapy at times, and throws sounds and noises that you didn't think were possible. the first album is good for a spiritual kind of trip, the second slightly the same, but more upbeat.
Shalabi Effect - a recently new band I have discovered. quite diverse in their music. very psychedelic, use of different instruments, more eastern style instruments in here, some really mindfuck style songs, and others are much more uplifting and upbeat. good album to drag you down through the warped bits of your mind and also lift you up again. haven't tried it on a trip yet, but I can imagine that it would be quite a ride.
Tool - Lateralus - The other albums aren't really as trip friendly as this. Aenema can be quite interesting on trips, but Lateralus seems to tap more into the psychedelic experience. the lyrics are positive, uplifting and at times can be applied to psychedelics. a nice variety of styles - at times a quite dark, twisted and warped, then at other times very moving, psychedelic Floyd style pieces that can really put a huge smile on your face. the kind of album that goes through lows and highs, a rollercoaster ride, if you will. first time I tried this on acid, I got very good results. now it's currently one of my all time fav trip albums. good for spiritual/thoughtful/uplifting trips.
Pink Floyd - well, quite hard to try and put these guys into a category. each album has an entirely different tone/feel/vibe to it, and it's a matter of choosing which album works best for certain kinds of trips. Ummagumma is a very spacy, psychedelic, bizarre headtrip album. Dark Side of the Moon is a sort of upbeat, slightly psychedelic rock album, with plenty of moments that compliment a good trip. Meddle is a mostly psych rock style album, ending with a 22 min masterpiece that explores most areas of what Floyd are capable of.
It's quite tricky trying to put this to words, but my suggestion is just explore. Try things that you wouldn't even have thought about trying. Sometimes the most unexpected album turns out to be one of the best for tripping. Try and compile your own list and see what vibe/feelings you get from listening to certain bands and then decide what kind of trip you want and pick albums from one or some from every type of vibe. Don't be afraid to try out stuff that you're a little cautious about. If it doesn't work during an experience, you can always change the CD and try again later, or another time.

Tortoise - one of my favorite bands, tripping or not. It's not very "trippy" but the styles are so amazing it can't be beat. All instrumental.

Easy one.....Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland .
If you haven't tried this one, you NEED to. I had a trip in '94 that I still remember as being wonderful. I listened for this album about 7 times that night, and it never got old, just "Ooooooh, this song again".
Electric Ladyland is an album that makes you feel as if you are tripping even if you are not. A masterpiece, as is DSOTM by Pink Floyd.
The Dead or Phish is always a good bet as well. I love The String Cheese Incident while tripping as well.

any drum and bass is sure to trip you out eg DJ Hype, DJ Zinc, Dom and Roland, Bad Company, Universal Project etc
or maybe some jungle or reggae or ragga, which is pretty cool
i think drumming is the best thing to trip to.

Instrumental is nice, but I like guitar solo's and stuff, especially if I see the person playing it. It's very enjoyable, maybe because I love playing guitar =)

"Easy one.....Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland . "
I agree. That's actually what I listened to on my first trip. 1983... is an AMAZING song, as is Voodoo Chile (not slight return, but rather the extended blues song-track 4). The first two tracks (And the gods made love and Have you ever been (to Electric Ladyland)) are also very trippy. Actually, the whole album is great.
I'll throw in recommendations for Ravi Shankar, Ustad All Rakha (tabla master), Terry Riley (classical), and of course Sgt. Pepper. Also, Dark Star by the Dead has been called the trippiest song in history.

I find that music that is full of bass is the best. Pink Floyd, all the classics are fun and all, but they are classicds. Lets look at some Modern Music. The Linkin Park Jay-Z mash up album, that one blew my brain in the last month is was some amazing while tripping. I also find Kings of Leon to be amazing for some strange reason. Its the flow of their music i think.

i find i like songs that seems to last forever when i trip. some of the ones i like best are
Bjork - unison
The field- leave it
royksopp- electric counterpart iii. fast (RYXPs milde salve)
pink floyd-echoes
as for SOUNDS i like to hear, i like nature sounds, i like hearing about our connectedness to the universe
i like friendly sounding chants, or meditations
i enjoy long sounding notes-- i think because one experiences time differently when on psychadelics, the long notes seem shorter whereas normal music can seem too short to really get into it fully

Do you watch the Office? One of the characters makes scenes sounds for a hobby. He talks about them and says " I do this because its taking the best scene from a movie and making that moment last for ever" When i saw that i was thinking, i need this for tripping. haha.
I do find that albums that flow well together work nice, Sgt Pepper, Linkin Parks Thousands Suns, Massive Attack - just cause they have 20 minute songs. lol.

Hey man, not to be a dick but your reviving a 8 year old dead thread. 
Thats really harshly frowned upon in our community.
read the rules in each forum before posting guys.
It's cool though everyone does it 
just try to read before posting some people on here will flame you really hard for this kinda stuff.

I was only reeving this thread cause i was about to make a new one and it pointed me to this one. I figure why not start a new one on here instead up starting a whole new threat. If there is a newer one i didnt see it, i'm sorry about this.

yeah I hear ya man,
This is an important thread but I think more would come out of it making new thread.
as you can see I'm new to this place also, but I think reeving a music thread that is 8 years old isnt gonna do much good.
Also I dont think people are gonna hate  on you for making another open discussion type thread that may at some point have been made. People useally get more up in arms when its a question that could have easily been answered.
Sure the musics effectiveness will be the same as it were then but I think it would benifit to get some fresh ideas or maybe those who posted on this thread may have new out looks.
You will for sure have more responses from people when they open a new thread with fresh disccusion brewing rather then half way through reading saying "wait why am I reading a thread from 8years ago?". And hey who doesn't want thier own budding thread right?
It's just a better jumping off point IMO
And I will TOTALLY SUPPORT the thread you end up making...
(make sure you find the right forum for it though if you do)

ENTHEOGENIC SOUND EXPLORERS ARE PERFECT  FOR TRIPPING
THEY MADE 4 GREAT PSYCHEDELIC ALBUMS for DATABLOEM rec (and on iTunes)
THE CD IN WAVE FORMAT ARE BETTER FOR A SERIOUS TRIP 
CHECK THEM OUT:
http://soundcloud.com/esesound
http://www.youtube.com/user/entheogenicexplorers/videos
http://www.databloem.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&manufacturer_id=274&Itemid=2
THE NEW ALBUM IS GREAT (here is the review):
Entheogenic Sound Explorers fourth and most consistent album so far, offering an hours worth of adventurous dubby, hypnotic ambient. With "Quarto" Stefano Contini & Piero Marchesi have made another step in pushing their composing and production skills to a higher level. The albums seems to tell a story, travelling through psychedelic landscapes with a sense of hope and being. Put on repeat and you will discover new paths with each listen.
