 Favorite Albums for the Mind

Just thought I'd see what everyone else is into, so why not recommend a couple of cds that you love 
N'Existpas by Daevid Allen (founder member of both Soft Machine and Gong) from 1978 is a very unique experience, definately burrows into your mind while tripping, there's a spacey undercurrent throughout, but a sense of humor too. Definately recommended. There's an ominous quality throughout it that really plays with your brain when you're under the influence.
Zeit - Tangerine Dream .. Maybe their best, very spacey, but not with the repetitive synth lines characteristic of their later stuff (this is '73, i think). Classic 'head' music.

Im not sure of my favorite album 'for the mind'. I guess all music is sorta for the mind. Here's a couple I like: Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antartica and Dead can dance - Spiritchaser.

I have only heard one song by Forest for the Trees, called Dream...
I like it alot, especially the Lyrics....
The writer (worked with Beck for a bit I believe)
believed the lyrics to this album would drive people crazy and insane... He himself stayed in a mental institute for a few years before deciding he was ok and could release his album...
I want to find the rest./.
Good stuff ;D
"When I am dreaming I don't know if I'm truly asleep or if I'm awake
and When I get up I don't know if I'm truly awake or if I'm still dreaming....
Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream..... Life is but a dream..."
"Traveling the waves of an infinite ocean, I feel the deepest emotion. I see a shadow of reality, please hold me closely, and take me away"
Good shit!

Yeah ! I used to be the proud owner of a vinyl copy of N'existpas. Just to be sure: did it have a song about tavern philosophers? I remember really diggin that album --moreso than Banana Moon. Tangerine Dream are cool. Let me think ... ya' know Good Morning Story by Holger Czukay is pretty trippy. Today I decided I need to start record buying again. I'm not inclined to get free stuff off the net like some people I know. I want to get some George Harrison and some t-rex. I really don't have any favorite tripping records.

Depends on what you mean by "for the mind".
Boards of Canada ("music has the right..." and "in a beautiful place...") are probably my favourite for just washing my brain in colour.
"Blonde on Blonde" by Bob Dylan makes me think (the lyrics... probably the greatest ever?).

Unfortunately I don't know what I did with my copy. I couldn't have traded it cuz it's been missed for so long  . I barely remember what it sounds like. All I can remember right now is a groovy sax. I probably paid $5 for that copy mint. I have some other Daevid Allen -such as Good Morning (w/Euterpe) that is pretty neat but not as trippy. I'm listening to Good Morning Story by Czukay right now. It's trippy.  Got some weird electronic cavernous eastern yodeling going on among other things. How about Psychic T.V. ? I've been searching for a particular song of their's I heard once but can't tell ya the name of. It was very retro --like fifties rock almost.

I can't remeber exactly where I picked up my copy of N'Existpas (and yeah, there's a song called 'Basically Bar Room Philosophers'), but I think it was off the net somewhere. The sax is great on it, and excellent drumming too by Chris Cutler (Henry Cow and a million other things). The long track is great for spacing to - 'Non-God Must Not Go On'...'From Hashish To Ashes' with the bagpipes...I love 'It's a Fine Air for Fliss' too, really has that ominous undercurrent that kind of reminds me of the kinda anxious undercurrent i experience when tripping. I saw Gong on their 25th anniversary tour a couple years ago, they were way better than I expected, extrememly tight,,daevid looks the part of the mystic sage to a T

Yeah, Blonde On Blonde does have great lyrics, set against some pretty stark music which fits it just right......'The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her faaaaace'...

Yeah 'Non-God must go on' rings a bell. I seem to recall liking that one. Listening to 'You' right now. I heard 'You Remixed' --a compilation of techno artists/tribute to Gong I believe, or maybe Daevid had a hand in it I don't know. Very good!

'You' is a good one, i like the extended jams on parts of it. Picked up 'Fish Rising' by Hillfish a while back, hadn't heard it in a loooong time, pretty good one too. Ever check out Wayside Records? They have a load of great cds, lots of stuff that's really hard to find.

That's another one I used to own. Can't say I was into it but I remember the cool sleeve. I have Rainbow Dome Music which is pretty good and the Hillage album with that stupid picture on the sleeve --Motivation Radio I think. No I'm not familiar with that label. I can give you this person's address though: Jade Hubertz 111 N. Sheridan Av. Indianapolis, Indiana 46219-6123 He (or she) has a great selection of psychedelic cds. They will mail you a catalog. I have had mine for 3 years now and still havn't ordered --always too broke. Their prices are reasonable --10-20 bucks on average. they didn't have N'Existpas as of 2000 though.
Steve Hillage is rad.
