Topic: Trippiest/Drugged Out album... Posted: February 07 2018 at 18:24
Hey people, I used to be a long-time member of the forums here many moons ago, lost all my old user details for that, changed ISP etc, moved country, so hence the new account!
I am looking for a list of some of the trippiest, most drugged out albums you have ever heard, I wanna create a playlist for a long plane flight later on this year (over 9 1/2 hour flight), and I am sure this would help me relax quite nicely!
Any Prog genres considered, open to never heard bands, just want to explore some of the weirdest, wildest in the genre!

That album by DOM - Edge Of Time VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR - Pawn Hearts ARTHUR BROWN’S KINGDOM COME - any of their 3 - especially Galactic Zoo Dossier GURU GURU - Hinten KRAFTWERK - s/t AMON DUUL - first 3 albums HENRY COW, MAGMA, ART ZOYD, ETRON FOU LELOUBLAN......... And indeed - Cottonwood Hill
No mention of Gong or early Floyd and Soft Machine yet? Some nice recommendations nevertheless. Let me add 3 of my favourites:
Franco Battiato - Sulle Corde di Aries
Modry Efekt & Jazz Q - Coniunctio
.O.Rang - Herd of Instinct

Wow That DOM album is some pretty tripped out sh*t indeed, especially the middle-eastern-ish vibe it has flowing through it. Sadly, they only ever had that one album (Edge of Time), private pressing I believe.
Well, Tago Mago and Piper at the Gates of Dawn is also are, in my view, extremely trippy albums.
I love that DOM is getting some attention, Edge of Time is one of my all-time favorite albums. I was also thinking about Klaus Schulze's Cyborg. It is a different kind of "trippy" than most of the above, but I always found something extremely psychedelic about it.
If you want really trippy and drugged-out music, I also suggest the whole late-60's Swedish psych scene. The 2001 release of recordings by Pärson Sound is phenomenal, but International Harvester's Sov gott Rose-Marie is excellent, as well. There is also Harvester'sHemåt, which, while not as great as the two aforementioned albums, is also quite good and features a beautiful, "trippy" version of a Swedish folk song "Kristallen den fina."

Depends-- 'Trippiest/Drugged Out' could be anything from later Coltrane to early Zappa to Pussy's Plays to Floyd's Meddle. On the other hand if you want deep space, then much of Klaus Schulze should fit the bill.

Yep. Trippy is as subjective as cool. Sun Ra is trippier than much Krautrock and what is called psychedelic rock. Many jazz artists in the 60s really upped the trippiness.
For PA check out the Indo-raga, progressive electronic and Kraut sections. But i totally agree that Schulze certainly ranks as some of the most intense crazy stuff out there.
I also love Coil, Throbbing Gristle and even Philip Glass. Have fun deciding!

My three favs of the trippy/zonked out variety:
Moolah -Woe Ye Demons Possessed
Brast Burn - Debon
Karuna Khyal - Alomoni 1984

Agree’d. This album had constant spinning for me back in those days !! I wore that sucker out real good. Bought a pristine replacement, shaped corners and inserts. Side 1 is totally unhinged !!
