if you think electronic music is limited to shpongle and psytrance, then you have no idea how broad electronic music is.

I know perfectly well how broad the electronic genre is, and I too am a great defender of the possibilities it offers beyond more mundane instruments. But my point is that I want to enjoy those mundane sounds for a change. I've had many trips on all kinds of electronic music (and none of it will ever take Shpongle's throne), but I want to try something else now. Anyway, good stuff so far guys, keep it coming.

shpongle has nothing on FSOL, banco de gaia, or eat static. they basically laid the groundwork for shpongle "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

Turn down the lights and put your head near a speaker with your eyes closed. Play album in its entirety, it tells a story without lyrics. Great with Salvia too. Thank you so much for this recommendation! Im tripping now and in the middle of the cd, and am really amazed! Very special stuff. Thank you once more

JBArk JBArk is a Mandelthought; a non-fiction character in a drama of his own design he calls "LIFE" who partakes in consciousness expanding activities and substances; he should in no way be confused with SWIM, who is an eminently data-mineable and prolific character who has somehow convinced himself the target he wears on his forehead is actually a shield.

I can't really recommend anything in the "human music" category, as I'm almost exclusively drawn to alien sounds... A strong desire to escape, you know. Anyway, here are some albums from my collection which I think of as possible candidates: - Keith Jarrett: Changeless - Mahavishnu Orchestra: Between Nothingness and Eternity - Nils Petter Molvaer: Khmer - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan: Mustt Mustt - Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny: Beyond the Missouri Sky - Pink Floyd: The Division Bell - Samir Jourban: Tamaas - U.F.O.: United Future Organization - Yello: Pocket Universe And finally one I had tested and can say for sure it delivers: - Pink Floyd: Ummagumma (the four tracks on the live album)

I see where you're coming from, but humans don't really have enough limbs to take advantage. I always figured synths a jack of all trades yet a master of none, unless you have 2 people working them, one on keys and one on parameter tweaking. You could also argue that a synth is just a fancy electric piano and as soon as guitar midi equipment gets up to speed they will become very easily one and the same. All that said though, I think the guitar has had it's time and although it's an instrument I hold very close to my heart, I'm sick of the site of them. To my ears nothing is more emotional than a very stripped down bamboo flute. There's something really beautiful about shaping the very air you breathe into music with a single piece of wood

Although not very psychedelic, Ulrich Schnauss's take on ambient electronic music is a more soft and ethereal sound that soothes the soul. I recommend anything from 'Far Away Trains Passing By' and 'Goodbye'.
One of my personal favs from his early work:

I'm familiar with Ulrich Schnauss, though I haven't tried listening to his music whilst under any influence. Might give it a shot.

Greatful Dead
Talking Heads
Tool - a little dark but still very psychedelic
The Mars Volta - A little angry but very psychedelic
King Crimson
Pink Floyd
The Doors
Radiohead
There's tons of stuff!

The first time i ever heard them was during a Salvia OBE; since then they have been by me side through every exploration. They ad such a positive organic vibe to the experience. Always happy to spread the love. ThirdEyeVision

Rodrigo y Gabriela are unreal... the Orion (Metallica) cover on the eponymous album is amazing! Thanks for the heads-up Infundibulum wrote:

Jefferson Airplane, The Doors and Jimmy Hendrix Jefferson Airplane's white rabbit is the ultimate psychadelic song The Doors break on through, The End, and Riders of the Storm are just amazing as well If you don't sin, Jesus died for nothing.
