Not Prog - but this album had me riveted back in my wafty days. I still get cottonmouth and puffy eyes when I listen to it. Thing is - I think you had to be there. Isn't that the case when it comes to trippy music? I think Gordon Lightfoot can be trippy in the right context. Just don't think of it as Synth-Pop. It ruins the experience.

Dom's Edge of Time,
That's what I thought of immediately, but I think you were the first to mention it on this thread!
Onze Danses Pour Combattre La Migraine from Aksak (don't think this one was mentioned yet)
Azimuth from Azymuth is a chilled out, long-road album I'd recommend for any relaxation. Not quite trippy, though..
On Land And In The Sea from Cardiacs, my favorite Cardiacs release. Like a tripped-out circus ride.
Someone mentioned Faust, I think The Faust Tapes would certainly classify. My favorite from them, no doubt. Finally got a copy after years of looking for it at record stores.
Franco Battiato's Pollution, those synths have taken something really heavy.. Something out of this world..
Any GONG, really. Specifically YOU. I would imagine they've been mentioned on this thread, but I don't remember seeing them mentioned..
Jumbo's Vietato Ai Minori Di Diciotto Anni ?, again with the feature of Battiato.
Minas from Milton Nascimento is his Sgt. Pepper's, a weird collage of percussion and little girls singing. Not on this site, never understood why.
Vento Sul from Marcos Valle, imagine a drugged-out, hippie Jethro Tull laying in bed and writing stunning poetry and arrangements. Marcos blows Jethro out of the water 10x over.

f**k..........that Dom album..................if anything was considered as a ‘lost masterpiece’ then this album is it !!!! It truly, out-Floyd’s Floyd. That is how unreal awesome it is !! And, currently, at the Pub down the road, I’m hearing on the air, Suzi Quatro !! She’s a cool bassist, but Tom Araya is much more exciting. So, Hell Awaits, Awaits..........
Loving this thread so far. Love psychedelic, trippy music and there are just so many listening reminders here.
Also, if we were to talk single tracks (as opposed to whole albums), I wouldn't be myself if I didn't mention Egg. While most of their output is not really trippy in a traditional psychedelic/druggy kind of way, the long "Boilk" from their second album really seems to sound like a psychedelic trip. One can really hear those sonic fractal visions and just the rich, varied thought flow that psychonauts experience. From a certain point of view, The Polite Force is somewhat psychedelic and trippy, but definitely not drugged-out.

Peter Gabriel must have been under the influence for Peter Gabriel 3 (aka: Melt) because the whole thing had an unsettling feel to it (look at the cover). He also allowed Kate Bush's backing vocals to ruin No Self Control and Games Without Frontiers. Just awful.

Talk about being utterly unclear on the concept. The album had nothing to do with psychedelics; rather it is about alienation. It was planned to be edgy and disorienting; hence, songs about stalking, amnesia, assassination, bigotry, apartheid, nationalism and mental institutions. It is unsettling due in part by how it was produced: the total lack of cymbals, irregular time signatures, first use of the gated drum effect, and the use of Kate Bush was brilliant (not to mention the excellent musicianship of Robert Fripp and Phil Collins). It is one of the best albums of the 80s.

Thank you so bloody much for all these tremendous recommendations, people. I discovered the DOM album, which I would otherwise have been completely clueless of, along with so many other hidden Gems! x
