Most trepanningly psychedelic lp?

Having listened to a lot of psychedelic era and later psychedelic influenced music for the last whatever amount of years i find myself perrenially asking what the most psychedelic music is. that is to say the kind of thing that invokes heavy trip without neccessarily having to resort to taking anything.
So I'm looking for suggestions.

I won't limit things to neccessarily being from that era 67-72ish just to the idea that they would knock your socks off on hearing and help open that 3rd eye. Would include such things as jazz, krautrock, noise-rock, communal jamming or whatever else lifts yer lid. It just really needs to be lid lifting.

Goslings - Grandeur of Hair

Throbbing Gristle - Heathen Earth

Surrealistic Pillow

"Vision Creation New Sun" was the first thing that came to mind, as it's varied yet unrelenting whereas Super Ae has a lot of stoppy startiness. VCN also sounds like it comes from the sky or the earth, whereas Super Ae sounds very much like a studio record (love them both btw, but for different reasons).

I know what you mean. removing the first track of AE would greatly enhance its psychedelic properties.

Herbie Hancock - Sextant
Hawkwind - Doremi Fasol Latido
Spacemen 3 - Sound of Confusion
Cloudland Canyon - Lie in Light

Anthem of the Sun is my first thought

Loop's WOLF FLOW cranked way up to 15 did it the other day for me

White Noise - Electric Storm

I think In Sides by Orbital probably provided the best just-music-inspired psychedelic experiences of my life.

oh yeah - Autechre EP7 is the only album that's given me actual visuals.

Spacemen 3 - Dreamweapon
any Pink Floyd live recording from 1969 to 1974

bah, the picture for charlemagne palestine's 'jamaica heinekens in brooklyn' did not show up. maybe cuz it was a picture of a cd.

I had always thought VCN was better than Super AE, now I'm not so sure; skip the first track if you want but if you turn it up loud its fucking terrifying

As for albums that will give you weird visions:
The Orb - Orbus Terrarum
Orbital - In Sides (already mentioned, but it is damn good)
Haruomi Hosono - Paraiso (half tropical music, half trippy electronic stuff...really awesome LP)
Aphex Twin - Richard D. James album (haven't heard it in a while but this one really did a number on me 7 years ago; never really saw music in the same way after that)

I mention this webcast too frequently, but I'll mention it again since the OP is a new ILXor:

Technicolor Web of Sound

Always good for one or two sit-up-and-take-notice moments per listening session for me.

Sternklang - I

This album!!!!!

If you like your psychedelic with riffage and then more riffage, then the albums above are where it's at!

and if you want to get lost in sound

The forthcoming Panda Bear may be a contender for this.

Two heavily psychedelic electronic albums:

Coil - Time Machines

Traffic's first album does it for me. (it's been released in several forms, called either Mr. Fantasy or Heaven Is In Your Mind; just look for one with all the period singles on it)

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol. II

just bung this out there again and see if any more titles appear.

I'll throw down for Ultimate Spinach "Behold and See" ...

After Bathing at Baxter's

i've been meaning to ask a similar question in ILM. i've been going to sun araw "on patrol" for this vibe. though sometimes i don't know if i'm really looking for "stoned" instead of "psychedelic." like when you say "the kind of thing that invokes heavy trip without neccessarily having to resort to taking anything", i don't know if it's cannabis or lsd that i want to consume via music. in the sense that brightblack morning light is fulfilling my desire to feel stoned but i don't know if it would fulfill my desire to feel tripped out.

in any case i think vision creation newsun is definitely a lid-lifting psychedelic trip, but honestly i wish it was MORE psychedelic!

or maybe more STONED!

if you're willing to go beyond the ILX canon and into the realms of the uncool, you might want to try some psychedelic trance or goa to get your psych fix. i find that stuff more satisfyingly psych than anything by the Boredoms or Mushroom Head Temple or whatever the hell that band is.

Mushroom Head Temple or whatever the hell that band is.

nice!

just bump this again and see if anything gets added. Still very much looking for music in this area.

You got to go with the classics, so I'll add Ash Ra Tempel "Seven Up".

Great thread. Since you mentioned jazz, I'd incl one that Bob Stone and Ken Kesey tripped to in the 50s, Stan Kenton's City of Glass. Composed by Bob Graettinger (spelling?), it's noir shadows ov avant classical x Kenton's hordes x digital clarity on the CD version I got; terms I've prev. employed incl. "skyscrapers of phosphoresence."
Sonny Sharrock's Black Woman: the voice of wife Linda, who should be co-billed on the front cover---she is credited on the back---provides the extension, further inspiration and forerunning of Sonny's classic beauty-and-the-beast guitar sound, which was still in development then. Acrobatic vocal freak-outs are countered by the stunning beauty of, say, "Bialero," which is a set-up for more reaming. (Ah, you're awake; here's a cool washcloth for your forehead; like this water? Goood...)

Also, a lot of electric Miles should suffice.

yep "dark magus" particularly

I also remember hearing a recording, I don't think it was spoken-word, just a woman reading something clinical (like a disclaimer) and suddenly launching into tongues, it was terrifying.

Wait, is it Elizabeth Clare Prophet's "The Sounds of American Doomsday Cults"? Pretty unique stuff. The unison chants at the end sound seriously deranged. Lead guy is an absolute master of his craft.

Sounds like aborigine meets Tibetan monk chant, quite hypnotic.

I don't think so, it was just a woman. The spoken preamble was pretty long, too.

JUst listening to Can live 22/5/72 and could seriously do with more stuff like this or equivalent. It seems to levitate in places and drill holes in others.
But do hope that other things could sound as unique while having the same intensity.

I think that Tim Buckley Knebworth set gets close to it in places and wish they were better documented. Or at least the sound on that was better.

shit is craaaaazy wow

thank you for sharing it

Re : Heathen Earth, the TG recording I keep returning to is the one from the Nuffield Theatre, Southampton, May '77, it's part of that TG24 thing.

my fave live TG is the April 1979 Derby Ajanta Cinema show released as Thee Psychick Sacrifice, the 2LP version is essential imo

Yeah, that's a good one... from their later Greatest Hits Live phase!

I may or may not be planning a trip this weekend. Question: So far on this thread, I haven't seen any mention of extreme metal artists. A few heavy things have been listed here and there, but nothing that you would primarily refer to as "metal" (apologies if I read too fast and overlooked something). Are there any metalheads who indulge in the occasional psychedelic substance lurking around these parts? Does anyone have suggestions for truly mind-warping metal (death, black, doom, progressive, sludge, industrial, etc.) for me to enjoy while theoretically tripping this weekend?

There have been some killer suggestions from other genres upthread. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have.

Search for exact title of the mad thread about metal that seems to have Glenn Branca appeal.

^^^ Ruling album right there

Does anyone have suggestions for truly mind-warping metal (death, black, doom, progressive, sludge, industrial, etc.) for me to enjoy while theoretically tripping this weekend?

Yeah check out the Branca metal thread (Jute Gyte, Ambergris, Morko are my recs from there), also the new Swallowed album Lunarterial, Howls of Ebb, maybe Deathspell Omega's Paracletus.

Electric Wizard around Dopethrone and live since are always great. & I really like the Warhorse As Heaven Turns to ash.... lp which always reminds me of UFO era Guru Guru with a drummer that has to keep reminding the band that they're metal. but I'm not that heavily into metal as a genre though I do like early 70s hard rock stuff.

Buffalo's Volcanic Rock is an lp that needs to be heard. Struck me on first hearing as sounding as heavy as a more fluid Swans.

& thinking of the Swans, their undocumented '88 live era was something else. the Children of God era line up doing a really heavy folk rock thing which is one of my favourite sounds ever. I think some elements have appeared in the reunion band sound but that '88 era was really a peak for me. I did like them in their earlier grindingly heavy era too. I saw the first London show and was at that Public Castration ULU one too.
The Sex Giod Sex from Feel Good Now was more mesmeric live than on that record but still '88 is my favourite era. & does fit this thread.

Oranssi Pazuzu and Aluk Todolo are probably the most psychedelic metal bands out there, like blackened krautrock at times.

My favourite album from last year, Spectral Lore - III, is a trip, too. A lengthy one at that.

If I keep thinking of these I could be here all day

love electric wizard but i don't think of them as psychedelic, they are pretty explicitly just doing this narrow take on sabbath imo. could say the same thing about om (with some "set the controls for the heart of the sun" mixed in) but lots of om is pretty hypnotic and psychedelic imo. though i don't know if i would even call them metal anymore, maybe just the first om album?

but anyways the cyclical chanting of om's "at giza" is very hypnotic and psychedelic

i would think Darkspace would do the trick. if you were tripping. i dunno, everything sounded cool to me when i used to do acid.

Thanks everyone! My Spotify playlist is looking good!!

Shouldn't really have limited this to lps, possibly accessible recordings.
But I thunk I'd bump it to see if anybody had anything they wanted to add.

A Gong cover; Gong's You album has been one of my go-to psych albums for 40 years, just the right mix of synth burbles, chant and space whisper, a bit of Zappa-esque silliness and superpsych guitar.

didn't see this mentioned: osamu kitajima's "benzaiten" -- funky psychedelia influenced w/ ersatz japanese trad. music and early synths/rhythm boxes

A counterconsebsus is forming

the elizabeth clare prophet thing in the video upthread is no longer working so i found another version http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=SqUtxnCI_F8&start1=0&video2=t0u3PzMwjxo&start2=0&authorName=bendybendybendy for all your 4/20 trepanation needs

Getting the visual of her talking head/chanting head really brings on the tracers

Flying saucer vibrations, pre-dub/aural op art, comprise/seize most of John Fahey's "Out Puppet Selves" and "Garbage," on his album with Cul De Sac, The Epiphany of Glenn Jones and his EP The Mill Pond, respectively. Both tracks rattle my headphones/headbox.

see autechre live, or check out the AE_LIVE stuff - https://youtu.be/0LoFcPDJvQI. also, ex models with kid millions on drums is mass psychedelic stuff.

xp bendy you're not wrong

I know it's not super obscure or anything, but Jefferson Airplane's After Bathing at Baxter's is surely one of the all time greats in this category.

Also, has anyone ever delved into this thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uriel_(band)

I was curious a few years back when I was really into Egg, but I never took the plunge.

Baxters was certainly one of my favourite listens while i was tripping and in general. Pretty great for a mainstream pop success.
Good starting point for what I was looking for when I started the thread but i wanted to keep the possibilities as wide open as possible. Also wanted to include such things as Your Eyes are like a Cup Of Tea or great dub or Henry cow at their furthest out.
So still open to suggestions.

Only Uriel stuff I've heard is what was released as Arzachel which I think is reunion nearly. Sounds pretty ballroom in places.

only recording i know of by the original uriel with steve hillage is a cover of "saturn" from the planets tacked on as a bonus track on the "arzachel" reissue. it's not exactly trepanningly psychedelic.

"metempsychosis" is top-rank psychsploitation (i don't say that to be dismissive; a lot of those psychsploitation lps are really good, stuff like the "live experience band") but i wouldn't put it in the same category as zweistein. mind you i don't actually like zweistein and generally feel i have enough holes in my head as it is!

i need to hear this, can it be re-assembled ?

Sadly, Kruzah has been disabled on embedded websites, and I'm not finding a good ECP video with her chanting in person, so you'll just have to queue up these three yourself and let them loop over each other.
