merbow.
nurse with wound.
hafler trio.
einsturzende neubauten.

sure, people may *tell* you they're good for drugs, but don't believe the hype. those people just want to watch your mind melt after you have a frighteningly bad and scary psychotic drug experience.

'Bum My Trip' - Action Swingers

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 16:04 (twenty-three years ago)

tehre's some group from like Dundee or something that has a CD filled with things that sound like "Careless Whisper" tuned in on some awful crappy radio with bad reception... STAY AWAY....

oh but i just remembered that have an AWESOME single... "I'd Rather Jack Than Fleetwood Mac" - haha I've found it on Google... "The Reynolds Sisters"

AM FM all that jazz
We'd rather sing along with Yaz
What happened to the radio?
They never play the songs we know

Chorus:

Golden oldies, Rolling Stones - we don't want them back
I'd rather jack (jack)
Than Fleetwood Mac
No heavy metal rock'n'roll music from the past
I'd rather jack (jack)
Than Fleetwood Mac

sorry that should be "Reynolds Girls"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 16:13 (twenty-three years ago)

the last (and I meant *last*) time I dropped acid, I listened to Armed Forces and Rain Dogs, both of which freaked me the fuck OUT. Nieve's keyboards sounded like a very scary carnival, Costello's every lyric seemed to be reading my mind in some abstract but frighteningly accurate way, and I really thought the sax on "Jockey Full Of Bourbon" was my mother crying in the other room. to this day, I rarely listen to Waits sober, it just don't seem right.

the last record i listened to while hallucinating was coil's horse rotorvator. never again.

Yeah I was going to say avoid at all costs yr industrial types - ESPECIALLY Nurse With Wound, who already sound like a bad trip most of the time! And that's a compliment!

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 16:21 (twenty-three years ago)

And despite what Stapleton says, I think Robert Ashley's 'Automatic Writing' wld prob. scare the living shit out of me if I'd had a microdot or three...

Red House Painters, by far. You'll sink into a deep depression.

Anything by Bis. Stay the fuck away!!

― Rahul Kamath (Rahul Kamath), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 16:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Any Black Metal.
One word: heroin

What should freak out most people considerably is Elend "The Umbersun" - dissonant orchestral music with *very* uncomfortable dynamics...

― Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 17:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Pretty much everything that was listed on that other thread.

The first time i did mushrooms we played some Whitehouse record... It was partly to see what it would be like, and partly to piss off the hippy next door who was also dropping shrooms but listening to Orbital....

CA Quintet-"Trip Through Hell"- There not Lying

Metal Machine Music

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 18:58 (twenty-three years ago)

''current 93''

and nurse with wound as andrew said is OTM.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 19:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I second the Metal Machine Music "nomination." My best friend had a grand mal seizure while we were listening to it, whacked out on cough syrup. Obviously the drug was more to blame than the music, but...

Depends on the drug, depends on the mood. I used to LOVE listening to bad trip music to see how far I could freak myself out and still be OK, and laugh becuase it was so not scary.

But then I've had times on bad, scary acid where EVERYTHING gave me a bad trip, even The Byrds (black limousines, ooooh, scary!) but then we put on Pornography by the Cure, and everything seemed normal and safe and wonderful.

Then there were terrible trips where the terrible jangling of John Cale's viola nearly drove me to insanity and we had to put on Guns N Roses and hide under the desk.

There are no hard and fast rules. Except Closer. I never could take drugs to that album, I would insist that it had to come off.

― kate, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 19:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Aphex Twin. Some of the music is certainly scary, but my girlfriend was much more frightened of the happy birthday answering message by RDJ's parents on Drukqs.

Elvis signing the Hawaiian Wedding Song can be fucking terrifying.

― kinski (kinski), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 20:56 (twenty-three years ago)

there was this tape i used to have - i think it was by john murphy - that consisted of sound manipulations done of animals shrieking and squealing, very crude tape work. that would fuck me up.

NWW would be _perfect_, i would think, but i reckon it depends on how out of it you are and how fragile your psyche is. _soliloquoy for lilith_ would do me up fine...

Nick Cave live freaked out some friends of mine pretty bad. One friend particularlly lost it bad during "The Mercy Seat".

Most Throbbing Gristle isn't good for your mental health no matter what chemical state you find yourself within.

Whitehouse, Jandek (although "Blue Corpse" is good on doobie), Beat Happening..

that would be V/Vm.. I'd imagine that listening to their "Pigs" single on acid or suchlike would be a tremendously unpleasant experience. Completely straight it's bad enough.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 3 October 2002 00:25 (twenty-three years ago)

it's not "Reynolds Girls"? maybe the CD I have is a comp

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 3 October 2002 03:28 (twenty-three years ago)

V/Vm messed with The Reynolds Girls song too..

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 3 October 2002 03:35 (twenty-three years ago)

aha!!

The only time I've really, really enjoyed Merzbow was on acid. Most hip-hop of the masculine braggadico type was unlistenable, though, so...

Back in my days of rec.music.industrial, John Balance once posted about the dangers of taking drugs while listening to Coil's Time Machines.
