SWIM has been afraid to go in without music for some time now. SWIM had the shit scared out of him one time in the middle of a trip when his neighbors dog starting freaking out and squealing like it was being stabbed to death. He uses his HD580 headphones with the volume as high as he can stand. He finds intricate instrumental music to be the most enjoyable.

SWIM's been diggin this lately

Also, SWIM finds that after drinking a few beers and smoking a low dose, listening to some music with visuals going (ProjectM or Milkdrop) is especially awesome.

For shrooms, my favourite band is definitely the original Hawkwind or Space Ritual. Their music always sends me back to that place

Hawkwind: Space is Deep

Master of the Universe

I just listen to whatever I like at the time.

I'm a silence guy for DMT but if using harmaloids I'll have music sometimes.

Still yet to blast off but I think my DMT sessions will be in silence, so I don't get distracted or influenced.

<3 Tool, some Shpongle too.

I'm still a believer that Rodrigo Y Gabriela is the absolute best guide. Turn down the lights and hit go on the 11:11 album and let the music guide you through an organic peaceful place

I would listen to Shpongle

favs, in no particular order: Tool, Shpongle, Celtic Cross - Hicksville (I'd have liked to hear more from that collaboration!), Hoopy Frood - Psychonaut

Pretty much any of the psybient stuff.

Is it my imagination or do a lot of the psybient/psychedelic groups have a good first album, then it goes down hill?

Now I think about it... I'm really loving my electronic/post-rock for tripping.

Used to love ambient psy but I think I've been overdoing it for about 5 years.

Shpongle is the best for sure...
Other than that... Tool, A Perfect Circle, 1200 micrograms...
"Download" is pretty awesome also.

Download - Ayahuasca
Download - Beehatch
Download - Bellshaw

Cellularly massaging artists:

i usually listen to some drum and bass like: Netsky, Danny Bryd, Logistics, Nu:tone, London Elektricity or High contrast.

Either that or Tame Impala - Innerspeaker is a great album or Psych rock.








They're from here, Perth, Western Australia

I like both of those guys solo, but haven't heard that one. Try Inventions For Electric Guitar by Manuel Göttsching, with changa.

A favorite album for longer psychedelic experiences is Yr by Steve Tibbetts.

For immersive Maoi + shroom w/interspersed DMT trips I pretty much always listen to Future Sounds of London. They go all over the place but never stray far from tricks and calm. Especially useful when you're utterly incapable of choosing a song cognitively, let alone going through the tedious procedure of making any sort of input for your computer to carry out. Otherwise Sphongle. I tend to gravitate towards Boards of Canada if you throw Salvia into the mix.
My last DMT breakthrough was rudely interrupted by an ice cream man in a van blaring out heinously loud animal bleatings from a severely degraded tape. Horrible. That said it actually scored him some punters, so props to him. If I ever meet the man, I'd be loathed to forgive him.

On vaporized DMT Excursions i love to listen to Psy-Trance from Israel, especially the Track Astrix - Daydream which is simply brilliant. I found it on Israliens Vol.4. Another nice one is Ephedrix - Expander, the whole Album and Atma - The Secrets of Meditation, whole Album.

My first DMT trip was to Tool's Schism. Was absolutely perfect for that experience, though I do agree other times music has distracted me in spice journeys. Otherwise, anything from Led Zep, Floyd, Hendrix is a given for any LSD-loving guitarist like myself I love to play at certain points of an experience too, has helped me learn a great deal about working with sound and my instrument. There are also a few local electronic artists here in Oz I really enjoy. A few of my mates are producers and DJs, and they're always good to listen to. One in particular is masterful at crafting a space thats visually spectacular with a perfect soundscape.. has made for some beautiful experiences.

Personally I have really been enjoying listening to Ott's new album Mir which is a great psychedelic, ambient, dub infusion. I learned about Prefuse 73 on one of my recent LSD incursions, as you can tell by my avatar, and have fallen in love with his trip-hop style, which seems to make alot more sense when your ability to interpret sounds is manipulated by a psychedelic. DJ Frane, my favorite underground sampling artist, does hip-hop/psychedelic mixes which are top notch. I strongly suggest checking him out. I've got a ton more up my sleeve but will leave it at that.



This one is great!!! off of Ott - Mir. The whole album is a must have atleast in my world

I'm probably a little too mainstream here, but on mushrooms it's almost a ritual for me to start with either Zeppelin or Marley to ease me up, some Yes or Tangerine Dream for high speed acceleration and wormhole surfing, Animal Collective for almost anything, and usually I will tag some Beastie Boys onto the end to bring me back to ground. Modest Mouse actually did it for me one night, but that was a very different night.
