Ok, just so this doesn’t turn into a Psytrance thread, why don’t we define psychedelic as “what sounds real good when high” or “sounds that make you feel as though you’re high”? Then everyone that wants to put down stuff like Pink Floyd/Roger Waters, go nuts, and hopefully we’ll even get some weirder stuff in there as well.
well….the craziest mindfuck music I’ve ever heard is Aphex Twin - Drukqs...
Not smooth and “happy” like shpongle.
Very dark and disturbing…but there is something wonderful and magical hidden there.
I wont spoil it, but good lord is it ever a life-changing experience.

I have no words for it. Just listen to it in an altered state, and prepare for launch…
Most recently, Elve’s new album Emerald.
Again, unenglishable.
A VERY difficult struggle to get through the first couple tracks…but the journey is soo sooo worth it.
Reflecting upon the experience now fills me with all sorts of crazy emotions…
egh, I gotta stop thinking about it…
I gotta say that Brian Eno has had some of the trippiest albums I’ve heard-
No Pussyfooting (Fripp & Eno)
My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (Byrne & Eno)
Apollo
Music for Airports
and in the same vein-
Can- Future Days
Neu - Neu 2
As an aside, who likes Roger Waters’ album Amused To Death? Not close to psy, but very psychedelic. One of the best mixed albums ever…
Also, who donated to YB?
Never heard of that project by roger waters, is that recent? Gonna check this one out right now…
A great psychedelic album I’ve discovered recently that I recommend to everyone here on this thread is Electric storm by White Noise. It actually dates back to 68 and is one of the first attempts at electronic music. It’s mostly dark and a bit freaked out, like some sort of weird bad trip But the sonic experimentations are really impressive for the time.
Beside, for a definition of psychedelic music what about “Music inspired by psychedelic drug experiences”?

I have loved that album since it came out! WHAT a mindfuck it was back then to place the speakers in the right 60 degrees position and listen to the album “as instucted for max listening experience”.
It`s such a trip to listen to!! :-D
and the lyricks!! WOW!! Its really a must for everyone “thinking out of the box”. And it came out in 1992!!! ——-
I donated to YB - Song sketch book,t-shirt,signed cd,Skype and thank you note (just for the cash)
I was looking for the thread about what listen to right now. But here do too. Ishq and is lush. Am reading cool book in that sf mastrwrks series. The dispossessed by ursula le gunn and hav crush on person on front 02 ed - tis sort of utopian big thinky thing wi gd story so far. Last lil brew ozric erpland & irresistable force (esp. Power rmx). Last High daytrip at the seaside manmademan free to listen, gelsol (but watch out fr some of t samples), mark pritchard i kno i was surprisd too track off advert cd wi wonky cowboy bit hit t spot. Dabrye (sp?) again unexpected bt 2 traks off instr album work. Ffwd jst epic. Milky disco mi aeroplane(!) totally was t glossalic ullulating babble - mayb music tickle bits of hearing ther fr language? Bt dont like words/vocals soundtrack trip. Ishq orcid was peak pick tho - was emotional n challenging exp & ishq was loving which workd. Dont want to say really anything neg all music hard to make - but last trentm didnt wrk lil brew. Panoptica has some brill trip friendly tuneage. Whatever nearly all music wonderful eh
[random: me bit worried bout nxt wk hav applied fr prof membership of a grad thingy really hope wrks out fingrs xd fr mon! Bye fr now u lot hope to meet one day. Am shy bt decent sort.]
Gonna get flak from the IM haters here but I think “B.P.Empire” is truely brilliant. :D
Totally agree mate, the first 3 albums by Mushroom are great shame about everything after BP. So many good psychedelic albums to list really, I love Logic Bombs last album Sonic Algebra and they have a new album out in Apr I think, also check out the new Duotekk album just released which is one half of Logic Bomb…stunning.
But the sonic experimentations are really impressive for the time.
