Well he *could've* been a professor! The person talking there was Bill Hicks, a comedian. Tool was friends with him while he was alive.

Bill Hicks is my favorite comedian, and Tool is my favorite band. Both are excellent to trip to, although novice trippers should consider the aggressiveness of Tool's music.

Cheers,
Hush.

>>tool is music made by trippers.. they even have a sound clip of this professor talking about how all the greatest music was made by people who were really fucking high...

He's not a professor. It's Bill Hicks, the greatest comedian(?), IMO.

NIN is pure evil.

Tool: yes all tool albums kick ass without a doubt

Future sound of london: dead cities is a great album, its mind blowing.

AK 1200: get anything by AK 1200, ESPECIALLY prepare for assult b/c tracks 8-14 are matrix-influenced (obviously, youll know if youve heard it) and trippy as fuck. this is only for fans of drum and bass/jungle.

Dieselboy: NOT THE FUCKING punk band. the dj. he makes drum and bass shit. and hes fucking awesome. make sure you get glowsticks with any dieselboy CD, especially high octane or system upgrade.

The Doors: anything is great

well tahts all that i know of, but im gonna try and check out some of these bands that you guys mantioned.

* smoke weed e-V-e-R-y-D-a-Y*

Of course every Pink Floyd album ever is excellent, except maybe The Final Cut.

I love NIN, Trent is a genius. He's a master of auditory architecture, and moving, though often depressing, lyrics. But most of his music is a little edgy for me when tripping. A Warm Place off of the Downward Spiral shows promise that he could produce a great tripping album. His remix albums are a lot easier on the ears and psyche, particularly Fixed, The Perfect Drug single, and the remixes off of the Fragile.

Yeah, Perma, I too spend too much time with music of the past. That music has been tested by time, and so much of today's music is visionless, market oriented, pop. I haven't even heard any Tool. Radiohead either. The signal to noise ratio on radios is just so high, I don't bother to listen to them, so I don't hear when something great is made. But, I'm searching Gnutella now, and will be inducted shortly.

Hey, don't forget Phish! Their long jams, and swirling little mind dances are transporting even when sober. Split Open and Melt, indeed!

I'd love to hear more suggestions, if this is any sort of guide as to the type of music I like. I usually lean to the more gentle, especially when tripping.
-Hatta

I'll definately have to check out some of these dance/ambient/techno groups/dj's. They certainly seem to have a lot of fans here.

There's this new kind of Muse~,
That attempts to unite many different forms into one cohesive concept
Through the devices of the modern with an ancient method of rhythm..

ANALOG IS DIGITAL!!!

Our computers are not even close to the bit-depth of our percieved reality,
But they are growing ever closer...

I have heard this music refered to as:

Trip~Hop
Experimental
Progressive
Progressive World Beat(?)

This will not do.
The boundaries are bleeding...
So many combinations are becoming harder to define...

GIVE IT A NAME!!!

What shall we call it???

Also any -early- carlos santana, And an album I just picked up- A perfect circle's new one, it's a lot like tool's stuff, but a bit more "industrialized"...it could get a bit freaky I imagine though...

------------------
Soak it up, it will end in time.

However, just to jump on the bandwagon, here's a few suggestions:

Medicine Drum - The Talking Stick : nice relaxing Goa/Psychedelic trance

Koxbox - The Great Unknown : more Goa!

Platipus Records - The Ultimate Dream Collection : progressive trance to take you away...

Elementary Records - London Acid City : acid techno and trance; this one's pretty hard, but *very* groovy. check out disc 1 track 3 "Brain Medicine". too funny!!

fluidity

...so many hippies are gay.

------------------
just eat the fuckers you stupid hippies.

peace!

------------------
see me here:
www.geocities.com/vorpal_rd/justapic.html

Also 'Death in Vegas' - The cortino sessions, for trippy sounds layered upon more trippy sounds....

...nice

pink floyd - meddle (holy shit this cd kicks ass. it has gotten my friend out of a bad trip, and it really makes me think a lot and it fucks with my head with makes me think even more)

pink floyd - division bell (a nice calm cd that if listened to in a good environment can be the best day of your life)

no doubt - return to saturn (believe it or not, this cd will make you happy if you ever feel depressed or are worried about a bad trip. it is just full of happiness)

those are pretty much my favorties, altho i like listening to rush, 10,000 maniacs, and those weird techno songs from chemical brothers and orbital and stuff.

peace

Their album "Pomme Fritz" took me to the circus of eternity one night. They shot me out of a cannon, they did. And was there a net? No. Only colours.

It was good.

The truth hurts, doesn't it? Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts.

The Oswego Eclipse: The opera in the background of Screen Behind the Mirror is O'Fortuna from the Carmina Burana. Look for recordings by Carl Orf.

Music whilst coming down off a trip is always good. The very best come-down music for me has got to be "Adore" by Smashing Pumpkins. It's low-key, subtle and relaxing. Also it tends to stop me from getting depressed after a trip and puts me into a postive mindset. Just perfect.

Other good "trippy" albums are Future Soul of London's "Lifeforms" (as mentioned before, organic and mind-expanding), Smashing Pumpkins' "Mellon Collie" (an epic 2-disc album that leads you into the peak of a trip rather nicely), Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works I & II" (best listened to whilst tripping hard - any sooner and I find it tends to mess with me) and Jimi Hendrix's "Axis Bold As Love" is good stuff too.

Tori Amos and Alisha's Attic to put you in a weird mood - especially if you're female, like me... the strange lyrics tend to make me go all child-like and happy (something my male tripping friends don't seem to experience).

Ah well, that's my 2 cents worth...

Too Dark park by Skinny Puppy is great. Insane fucking CD. I always describe it as a horror movie in audio format, it's nuts but great.

Anything by sheep on drugs, FSOL, Pink Floyd...

"We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves..."-Aldous Huxley(Doors of Perception)

Can't go wrong with Grateful Dead of Hendrix

Air- Moon Safari
Pink Floyd- Meddle

But to be honest good music is good music. It's gonna sound good for the most part. Notice how no one says "yeah I was sitting there tripping balls to the backstreet boys..." that's because they blow when you are sober. Just a thought

"Mushroom Jazz"-Mark Farina, very good shit

"Forbidden Places", "Too High To Die"- Meat Puppets. Listen to the lyrics you'll know why.

"The Soft Bulletin"- The Flaming Lips, blow your fucking mind. enough said

------------------
Feel the pain.....Taste the Terror
ApAtHy-NaMeSaKe

Black Sabbath - Reunion (on dissociatives, probably not great on LSD/shrooms/etc)
Janis Joplin - Cheap Thrills
The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
The Doors - The Doors
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Bad Boy Bill - Bangin the Box V4

This isn't a list of my 'favorite' albums, or the ones that I think sound 'the trippiest', but just ones that I have had great tripping experiences with. Others that I love to listen to while tripping, but am always dissapointed when they don't sound much different/better than when I'm stoned:

Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (their first album)
Phish - A Live One
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Bad Boy Bill - Bangin in London
Orbital - Orbital
The Doors - Strange Days
The Doors - The Soft Parade
The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers
Mr. Oizo - Analog Worms Attack

------------------

"12 hours of LSD-25 acid-bath makes you really tired... physically and mentally. But psilocybin, mm-mm, it's juuuuust fiiiine."

A great trick aswell is the "Imaginary Ball".
Pretend that you have a imaginary tennis ball in your hand, throw it from one hand to the other (horizontaly) then throw it up into the air, juggle etc.
Formally a weed trick but work's brilliantly when your tripping
TRY IT!

------------------
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1- Tool, Aenima
2- Tribe After Tribe, Love Under Will
3- Coil, The Angelic Conversation
4- Doors, The Doors (their 1st album)
5- Beethoven's 9th Symphony (esp. 4th movement)
6- Gary Neuman, Exile
7- Cruxshadows, Telemetry of a Fallen angel
8- Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon
9- They Might Be Giants, Flood
10- Wolfsheim, Sparrows & Nightengales

Note the variety here. There are a lot of different kinds of trips one may wish to have and each of these albums provides something unique. Cruxshadows gives a very techno-egyptian-martian feel while Beethoven gives the kind of awe inspiring unity that I love so much. Coil & TAT have to be experienced to be understood... but the Doors, well... this is a new addition for me. The first trip I ever had i sat back listening to "The End" and bitched at Jim Morrison (even though he wasn't there & is dead) for 20 minutes because I felt he was trying to tell me how to trip... weird.

KMFDM "symbols"
Cynic "Focus"
Godflesh "Pure"
Prong "Clensing"

-JAH
