    Posted: August 21 2012 at 05:04

These days I'm revisiting some of my favorite progressive-albums that feel like total trips while listening to them. I focused on the works I associate with some sort of uplifting, soothing far out experience from beginning to end. 

Which to me means that plenty of psychedelic masterpieces from Dzyan, Pink Floyd, Amon Düül II, Faust, Gong, Soft Machine, Magma, As Ra Tempel, Faust and Heldon as well as alternative titles by Tangerine Dream, Can or Klaus Schulze mm... were left out. As I find them either too dark, heavy, inconsequent/shizophrenic or song based for the focus on this poll. Lots of german bands here (obviously), but I know there's plenty more and I'll probably make another trippy/oriental jazzrock-poll later.

If none of these takes you on the good trip lollipop, tell what does.

Btw: I know Dawn of Man and Lucifer Rising aren't considered uplifting albums, but they have that effect on me.

Lots of great choices, but Future Days is my favorite album of all time, so that's my choice.

Future Days' taking the lead. Its actually only my fourth favorite Can-album but its still flawless. 

I think I'm giving my vote to one of the three first options in the poll.

Man you made this a tough one. I ended up picking Lucifer Rising but i love that Malesch record too and many others. I just recently got that Jean Cohen-Solal record and am listening to it at work along with some others this week.
I'm glad you included Code III as well, i enjoy that obscure one a lot.

Hope you got the Flutes Libres/Captain Tarthopom-split version because they are both fantastic. Code III is a gem. Strangly this end of days concept album has a pastoral mode that somehow reminds me of Grantchester Meadows. Great choice btw, but of course I would have thought that no matter which one you went for.

Yup it's the split.
That Code III has Klaus Schulse on it doesn't it ? Singing or drumming ? Anyway i was going to include that on the early rounds of the polls i'm doing but thought it would be too obscure. Man it's great having guys like you on this site.
Lucifer Rising is probably the darkest trip on the list although there are some there i don't know. Speaking of dark trips Richard Pinhas solo albums like Iceland comes to mind or Tangerine Dream's Zeit. But there's lots of others too.Big smile

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Oh, I've avoided the darkest trips (Zeit, Music Aus Der Schattenreich, As Ra Tempel, Irrlicht, D, everything Pinhas/Heldon etc..) on purpose. You see musically I don't really think Lucifer Rising is all that dark, altouhgh its supposed to. But we all hear different things.

I'm ashamed to say I only know three of these albums, but I do know many of the artists in general. I voted for Rubycon, my favorite TD album.

My tastes tend to run towards the "bad trip" albums like The Crazy World of Arthur Brown or the first Ash Ra Tempel album. That would be an interesting poll to do as well.

Indeed. I love Artur Brown and As Ra Tempel. I guess I generally prefer darker prog, especially the RIO & electronic stuff. Here I just wanted to collect trippy albums that doesn't take you on a trip thru' hell, but rather through imaginary landscapes 'n' such. In a semiabstract way without to many words and descriptions.

^Trip Thru Hell? I really love it but its late 60's psych and kind of simple*. There's a wonderful dark and gloomy atmosphere throughout, though. I think if you like this song, you'll dig the remaining 25 minutes of the album too. 


*Edit: But then again for psychedelic rock the songs are rather complex. 

Edit 2: And btw: the bonus stuff on the CD-reissue mostly suck.
