Best... Trippy Music!

[killerzzz]

EDIT: Any generally trippy music, probably from multiple genres, I'm just interested to see if anybody has some good ones.

Because its interesting!

Not even absolutely sure of the category borders myself, but I think I like it if I know what it is. ;D

I think the best way to describe it is music that is dreamlike, soft, almost feeling like you're drugged listening to it.

For example, take Silence by Delerium. (Dang, this version has a long intro, like 1min30sec, but its the best I can find).

However, Inner Universe by Origa (used in Ghost In The Shell intro) is more techno-y, but still trippy. I still think of it as trance.

And the last of this maybe-sort of music I listen to is Sting's Desert Rose, featuring Cheb Mami.

Also, on a side note, not sure if Era's Enae Volare Mezzo counts, but I'll add it in for the heck of it.

Isn't that because you're supposed to be drugged listening to it?

That doesn't sound like Trance to me, Kaz...

Wiki sez Trance is this - which accords with what I know...

[killerzzz]

Aw balls, then what's all that stuff I listed?

(might have to change the post title )

[Elliot Kane]

Right now I'm going with 'Best... Stuff Kaz Likes' honestly ;D

[killerzzz]

Hehe, okay, since I screwed up, I'll just call it a general Trippy Music thread.

Fooey. : /

SO, anyone got any nice and trippy music? Of any category? (i guess >_> )

Killerzzz

[Elliot Kane]

I guess Trippy works, yeah ;D

No real idea what to add though, I'm afraid. Bit outside my normal listening

[killerzzz]

Hehe, yeah, it's weird fun stuff.

But if anyone else listens to something nice and trippy, please share, I'm interested. ;D

Faust's pretty trippy...

Edit: Meh, they didn't include the brilliant ending. That ending is my favorite thing about that song!

Um when I hear trippy, I immideatly think of Ariel Pink. here my fav uh... "song":

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szahkz-yaWI&feature=related I linked it and not youtubed it, because there´s nudity in the vid and I finally got that Eli doesn´t like that

Something REALLY different - Abi & Esther Ofarim in their trippiest song/video EVER (imho)

[Elliot Kane]

You even remembered to include a suitable content warning with the link, Kit! Well done!

The forum rating is 'PG-ish' not 'Adult' after all

[kitty]

I could argue now that everybody has a body and it´s naked, naked body doesn´t equal sex but... whatever

[Elliot Kane]

You could. Would be a total and complete waste of your time in doing so, but you could! ;D

[Ubereil]

And wether she's right or not has nothing to do with it either.

And your point would be...?

Yes, I've heard of Delerium and even had one of the cds from Front Line Assembly(the main project of the guys who formed Delerium). They're pretty awesome.

Oh and I like to listen to Massive Attack, M83 and a few other groups if they count. I've heard some music from other groups like Sofa Surfers and Moodorama(frigging talented and awesome) but too bad, it costs a bomb to ship into Singapore so I never got their cds.

This is pretty cool, too. The Future Sound of London - Papua New Guinea [NuTone remix]

[janggut]

FSOL - Cascade

Amorphus Androgynous - the Emptiness of Nothingness

actually the 2 are the same dudes.

Aphex Twin - Nannou

[Lews]

Delerium is most definitely not trippy. Trance music for the most part isn't, and neither are most forms of electronic music.

Fortunately Aphex Twin IS trippy. The man is a genius. Play some of his songs through a special encoder that will make a picture out of the audio waves and you'll see a picture of his face.

I could make thousands of posts about the best Trance and electronic music, but it is not trippy. I could look through my vast library's and probably find some other great examples besides Aphex Twin, though. Give me a few days =p

[Flix]

Problem is, trippy isn't a genre. It can span many categories. Trance was at least a genre.

I like Aphex Twin. A lot of it reminds me of a "bad trip" but it is definitely ambient, spaced-out, weird dream stuff.

@ube
Yeah, that was pretty trippy.
Well, the start at least. The rest was just fun to listen to. ;D
I mostly found the part with the vocals was the trip.

kitty
I found the first one more weird than trippy, but I can see how it can be trippy (especially with the help of that video ).
And the second, well, again didn't trip me, but yeah I can definitely picture someone freaking out listening to that on drugs.

@sonar
Ooh, yeah, Massive Attack has a bit of that feel to it too. Hmm... been a while... I've listened to Angel by them alot, but that one's not very trippy, but a nice listen none the less.
Future Sound of London had it a bit too, but was pretty relaxing. ;D

@jang
Ah, your FSOL is a bit trippier, but still relaxing.
Actually sounds like something you might hear in a Loadrunner type game, or something.
The second one's a bit on the same lines, though a bit more lively and less relaxing.
That Aphex Twin certainly was trippy though. Really interesting too, all wind-up music box sounds. Cool.

Lews
You should start a real Trance thread, since I have no idea what it really is. ;D

As for Delerium, I guess its just a matter of opinion (probably on my part ). I just find it so odd and soothing.

Flix
Yeah, sorta recovering from my Trance slip up. (silly me)
However, I am just simply interested in anything strange, and well, trippy. Don't have much of it, and want to see if there's anything out there that I'll resonate with.

try to official site ofFSOL. it has a lot of samples of albums that may appeal to your sense of weirdness.

i recommend Dead Cities album by FSOL & The Isness by Amorphus Androgynous.
