always LOVE listening to Time Machines. its a side project from Coil, but you'd never guess it. it's 4 tracks made with 4 tones named after 4 different Shulgin compounds. minimalist minimalism to say the least. but these four tones create extremely complex soundscapes that are easy to slip away into. the original packaging has a recreation of John Dee's skrying mirror on it. this is an incredible cd.

Ulner Scnauss. This is a new one I picked up. imagine slowdive super imposed on my bloody valentine. gorgeous melodies slowly pulled over beats.

Boards of Canada. hip hop beats, ericksonian hypnosis, and branch davidian samples wrapped inside a creamy psychedelic shell deep fried in your most obscure dreams. required listening for all test pilots.

yar.

thats all!

peace

Greetings all!great book Daniel!I bought it back in february and lost it once,but finished the last few pages I had left when my friend bought it in May sometime.I am very late to log into the forum but have good things to contribute.To respond to Cosmic Rider,glib toast,and sire-
I am a Jimi hendrix fanatic/enthusiast.of course everyone has heard of jimi.Some like him,some don't.oh well!I am 20 and a self proclaimed hip hopper.I like any and all kinds of music-was introduced by way of hip hop.Good hip hop that is mind stimulating,and also some old gangster rap-early to mid 90's.I am a big fan of Radiohead and think they are supernaturally talented.I recomend the album KID A.I also like jazz guitarist Grant Green-recomend Street of Dreams album.Grant was very good and also underrated.He was a fan of horns and was the only jazz guitarist that could give a wind quality to guitar.I also like much jazz.Jazz-rock-classical-orchestra fussion-David Axelrod-very much recommended-song of innocence album-kind of rare and hard to find though.Parliament-Funkadelic,Portishead,Bjork,HipHop-Company Flow-Funcrusher Plus,Del-Deltron 3030,many more.Too many to name!I have not heard any of those ya'll named-Besides Crosby and Coltrane-but I must check them out.Thank you.What do ya'll think of music in general?

[Cosmic Rider]

Time Machines

Where can i find it on the net

[hiosoy]

What do you guys suggest listening to while under the influence. In the past the best I've found is Tool, without a doubt, put on the aenima cd from front to back, nothing like it from what I've found. Pink floyd and god speed you black emperor lately.

Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia were a important catalyst in my thoughts back in the mid-nineties. After a long break I recently started listening to them again and was surprised at how fresh they still sound. ‘Ov Biospheres & Sacred Grooves’ is the album to look for. ‘Exit 23’ and ‘Maenad’ also must be the result of some supernatural trade.

[CASPER 1]

Hey gelfer:Where is Psychic Warriors Ov Gaia from and what record label were they on?

[gone]

They are/were from Holland on KK Records.

http://music.hyperreal.org/library/discogs/pwog/

for more info. I haven't seen one of their CDs in a shop for a long time.

[sillycon stallion]

I recomment "Not available" from The Residents"

Greetings from Germany

[CASPER 1]

THANX GELFER!

[Luna]

Shalabi Effect is an absolute necessity for me. I listen to them all the time, tripping or otherwise.(Like Daniel, Sam Shalabi is really into Walter Benjamin) www.shalabieffect.com (http://www.shalabieffect.com) also check out www.alien8recordings.com (http://www.alien8recordings.com) for some other incredible stuff.

[Danila]

Music...
I get all my stuff from a friend of mine. I am lucky that way. For years now he has been searching for good sound and, not surprisingly, consistently comes up with music made by people like us.
My favorite find of his is a two-man group called Shpongle: an English DJ and a 60 year old flute player. The lyrics and music are heavily inspired by our favorite compounds.
The best way to describe this band is 'sublime.'
The name of the duo is Shpongle, by the way.
You should also check out Hallucinogen and Infected Mushroom. They are, however, less live and more electronic but, nonetheless, very-very sweet.

[gone]

Yes, Shpongle are fun. Their previous incarnation of ‘The Infinity Project’ was better though – ‘Mystical Experiences’ remains one of my favourite albums.

[Danila]

There is also Antiloop, Apex Twin, Astral Projection, Banco de Gaia, Destination Goa, Goa Gill, Infected Mushroom, Orb, Psychodelic Goa Test, Psychobabble, Trance Europe Express, Trip Theory...

[fungus44]

Just got the ZENrmx Ninjatune compilation. Deliciously spaced. Was really grooving on track 8, CD 1, DJ Food mixed by Luke Vibert -- it's title is Turtle Soup. Maks me think of the Mock Turtle's song Beautiful Soup in Alice in Wonderland.

Missy Elliott's This Is Not a Test is quite wonderful. She's got an amazing preacherly delivery.

Also very spaced is Broken Social Scene (http://www.noisefactoryrecords.com/bss.htm) a totally brilliant Neil Young meets Pavement meets the Dead meets Ween. Narcolepsy at its best. You Forgot It In People is fabulous - like Sonic Youth all grooved out.

[Proteus]

In case folks have enough computer power to stream satellite radio, Maurice at Maya Enthnobotanicals recently announced the following ayahuasca-oriented link:

"You can connect to the radio with most players that support streaming media. If you have WinAmp or something that can play winamp playlists simply follow this link: http://yage.net:9000/listen.pls
Otherwise find "Open URL", "Play Location" or similar in the menu of your player and type in: http://yage.net:9000

i've really enjoyed the aya-inspired electronica, recordings of shamans, and the occasional lecture on the Vine. Two thumbs up, way up!

[lichen]

That suspect beast known as the Chocolate Watch Band has always done it for me - the song No Way Out sums up psychedelic hairiness perfectly and Gossamer Wings is beautiful whilst descending. I've also dug new bands like - the Coral, Cosmic Rough Riders, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Any spliff lovers would be mad not to give Cymande a listen, one of the world's most criminally forgotten groups from the early '70's.
Delerium Records in the U.K. put out some interesting stuff as well. :cool:

Two thumbs up, way up!I have heard plenty of good things about this, but it’s a very frustrating experience on dial-up. Oh, for a broadband connection… but I’m too far away from an exchange! There’re farmers in rural China with faster connections than me.

[egret]

hey, what about some old stuff… Byrds, Eight Miles High; Jefferson Airplane, the whole Bathing at Baxter’s (but of JA, pretty much only that as a whole album; very live, very improvisatory, very brilliant), some of that late Jimi Hendrix, getting bluesy again, a little freer in structure, Beatles Dear Prudence, Syd Barrett of course, pretty much all of Syd Barrett, and his era of Pink Floyd. Miles Davis In a Silent Way; King Crimson Larks Tongues in Aspic…(guess you can tell how old I am); Velvet Underground, say… All Tomorrow’s Parties, or Heroin…
but also some newer stuff; I like Radiohead, Kid A; Built to Spill stuff, Ida, actually I like that rich, layered Tori Amos on the new side of To Venus and Back, or whatever its called.
have to admit I never heard of most of the stuff mentioned here.
I think there is something about the early stuff, … psychedelic before there was really the musical idea… but still amazing stuff now…

but, more seriously:

I think I have much the same tastes, high, tripping, or not, I just hear it better, hear it more. hear everything more. I am listening for music when I listen to music, but also sounds. but something about intrinsic interest. I don’t know. its true, some music sounds trippier, and may even appeal AS trippier, in the abstract, to me,… but when its playing there is a lot of music that I wouldn’t necessarily have thought was trippy, that I still totally, totally get into. that state when you hear every tone, every nuance, every shift of the guy’s voice, say, or the explicit character nature of every guitar Sound. so I accidently got into the rolling stones in a way I never was not too long ago. of course, I always liked Gimme Shelter for that series of amazing low guitar chords at the start (and throughout, but before the voice comes in), which I first heard when 19 and mda’ing. (long time ago). But even some of their pop-ier things. whatever.
But it was fun reeling off that list! thanks, y’all

oh sorry, wait, one more before I go: Traffic, on the John Barleycorn album, a just Magical passage, shit, where was it? hold on, I’ll be right back.
oh yeah, ok, its on Glad where they start out, esp winwood on piano, with this splashy, jazzy, first or second time in the studio, introduction, which gets rocking after a couple minutes then just drops off
(drops off like in the middle of the first? movement of Beethoven’s last piano sonata, a jazzy, I swear to god be-bop passage, it collapses, just collapses down like a landslide, down, … but into a very different place)
anyway, this just drops off into this incredible passage of distant organ arpeggios, a breathing piano rythym, then a low sax puffing in…(and a flute making the transition, rocking and rolling a moment before, but leveling out as the other instruments leave him, a floating, ethereal sound…) a just magical couple minutes, (and from winwood who isn’t the sublest piano player in the world; also he gets in some great guitar tones – sounds like a quartet of guitars toned differently, but its probably just two or three - in I Just Want you to Know)

I think when it comes down to it, its certain passages in certain songs that really get me.

[Death_explosion]

Arcturus-La Masquerade Infernale
Sigh-Imaginary Sonicscape,Scenario IV:Dread Dreams
Solefald-Pills Against The Ageless Ills,In Harmonia Universali
Enslaved-Below The Lights

[Buzz]

A blast from the past.

Back in my heavy trippin' days (the early 70's) I knew a lot of people who pulled out Blows Against the Empire by the Jefferson Starship. Not to be mistaken with commercially successful name of this band, this was basically the Jefferson Airplane, with members of the Grateful Dead, David Crosby, and many folks of the west coast sound from back in the day.

It's heavy duty, I think even young folks now could get into it if you understand historical stuff like the 1968 Democratic convention.

[Lowlight]

man you have all forgotten the one of the best, neil young! anyone??? one of the few living saints of rock. actually im gonna listen to him right now. peace

[Buzz]

you bet, Neil is a dinosaur

"up in the sky they still had his number" The old Homestead

triple the motion on Dave Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name

I still rock out but I listen to a lot of bluegrass (like Alison Krauss) and Irish music like Connie Dover. Van Morrison with Chieftons is great. And, because my local library has loads of it, i'm becoming more and more interested in contemporary African music like Oliver Mtukudzi.

[toppersbazaar]

Buzz i knew i could count on you to at least mention the dead..(That's garcia on slide guitar on Teach Your children CSNY. Did you know garcia came up with the name "surrealistic pillow" and on the album liner notes he is listed as "spiritual Advisor"?<~~it's not just a joke
Do Not think about the reputation the Dead have or their last 15 years as a band or their fans or the Mythos that goes along with the whole scene at all...leave all that behind and come at this experience from a fresh place...you will be rewarded hansomly. Jerry garcia was the guy chosen to lead the house band for the first Acid tests on keseys farm....and they chose him for a reason....my following suggestion is a live show from that time period "67ish" just do what i ask and get back to me. I am practivaly begging you....This has nothing to do with listening to music it's about letting one man with the help of some others in the spirit of what Coltrane invented but perfected for cosmic exploration
So please from the bottom of my heart I implore all of you Please please please
...get ahold of "Live dead" <~~It's the name of the album...it says ACID DEAD on the back in cryptic

10 bucks on Amizon used.or borrow it..please get

prescription
majorly high dose yourself wait one hour smoke one or two hits if it's your bag ..whatever your easiet and best position is get into it (asana or just lay back...killer headphones work if not adjust speaker for stereo effect...it's important that you actually "feel" thre music so it must be cranked' don't sweat the frequencies. garcia took care of that for you.You want to feel the music rumble through your vervouse system...then it will become a vehicle that will pick you up and take you to places for hours and hours...these aren't songs they're vehicles baby...two drummers makes it necessary for you to be centered for the stereo effect) play side one first(Dark star)it's mellow and will sink you into it...take yourself back to the avalon ballromm circa 67' 1500 people garcia 25 going on 25 million just sink into into it just let garcias guitar take you followed by side 2 remember they kick it in on this side HARD (this is the side that if you let your consciousness get enrapped into it it will shift you from level to level i swear to god...it's so fantastic...just go with it but notice how FAT everything is like you could just eat the bass notes on the intro to St Stephen or use them as a foundation for a 150 foot tall building ...rinse repeat try every side until prescription is finished...if right now you don't "get it" about garcia and most people don't! don't worry i mean you had to have tripped hard pre 83 with him....to get "it" but if you'd like to sort of see the movie about the actual space landing ....kinda like how it's worth checking out the hubble telescope pics even though it would be better to actually go there, anyhow if you try this you will totaly see what all the hype was about....you must let go fully to the lead guitar...total cost for trip under 20 bucks under 10 if you knoe someone with the CD and I KNOW you do
garcia really was one of the greatest american Shamans of all time please trust me put down all you "think you know " about him or the "scene' and come at this from a very pure place...just like i say....besides it's great to have a wave to ride through the other side here are the lyrics to the song that is side one (dark star) here the wisdom in his voice as a 25 year old......just astounding...enjoy. I am jealous of you in a way

Dark Star, lyrics

Dark star crashes, pouring it’s light into ashes.
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis.
Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter.
Glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving.
Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of good-bye.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

[Reverend]

Egret sed:
"I think I have much the same tastes, high, tripping, or not, I just hear it better, hear it more."

That is mostly true. Sometimes I appreciate the wierd sound effects more the higher I am... they get translated into body sensations, flashes of light etc.

I like: John Lee Hooker, Concrete Blonde, Lightning Hopkins, Tool, White Zombie, Jimi, The Beatles (!) and the U of Michigan's radio station, which I b'lieve streams on the net and is always trippy/disturbing. The Dead are alright insofar as sometimes I feel like sleeping. And I don't know who the heck most of you are talking about, but I am happy to be lost & irrelevant.

~-Rev.

p.s. I grew up with my folks having a '45 of "White Rabbit" + "Somebody to Love"... I think that single-handedly converted me to the dark side.

[toppersbazaar]

rev 67 live dead side 2.....trust me

[Ozric]

Ozric Tentacles - instrumental sounds and grooves from hyperspace
Shpongle - yes Simon and Raja and those 2 DMT inspired discs (look for the T. McKenna voice over)
Shakatura - best ambient music i know
Pink Floyd
The Grateful Dead
Widespread Panic - esp. the "Till the Medicine Takes" cd
also - Kula Shaker, Particle, Sound Tribe Sector 9, String Cheese Incident

and of course the sound that will open you up to better tune in and receive the messages that are being conveyed to you - SILENCE ;)

[toppersbazaar]

ozric "silence good"...."stillness" better

[Rob P]

HI!

I love almost anything by Bill Laswell,
and his collaborations with
Pete Namlook are amazing.

Tetsou Inoue also has some beautiful
ambient recordings.

My deepest experiences
have been surrounded with
the sounds of medieval choral music
such as Thomas Tallis and Hildegard of Bingen..

The sacred intentions within this music
lend itself to spiritual exploration....

Full on Psy trance, takes me on dancing journeys to strange states of mind. So much energy, playing with the energy that creates the universe, some times to much for my body to take.
