Been listening to a lot of old four tet and flying lotus recently, similiar sounding stuff to your vid soulfood. I like psychedelic trancey/ housey music though I really cant go psy trance, like take this tune by kid606 id call it psychedelic and trancey but it certainly aint psy trance, would love someone to define this style of music so I can go get lots of it! LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcvgMMrrr7AAlso how do you embed? it used to do it automatically for me but doesnt now.

Interesting selections so far. I probably vibe best with some of cellux's classic cuts. Can't go wrong with Ozric or Floyd... Motiv311's solfeggio brainwave link is stuff I am quite familiar with . I have even designed some light and sound programs for my brain machine to go with that stuff. Some of electronic music stuff on the thread is vibalicious, but a lot of it is musically rather tame... IMHO. Uncreative in that you hear the same beats and ideas reiterated over and over again identically. The artists & DJ's become interchangeable. This is a product of the fact that the producer packs for the DAWs have all the same loops & samples, and the music is made in 10 min by a kid in his mother's basement. (or could be anyway) If a track can be made simply by a few dozen mouse clicks, it is hard for me to get overly excited by it. A lot of times the only unique aspects to the stuff are the choice of sound effects, found sounds, and sci-fi samples to be layered over the generic loops... and even these , if they bother, are generally cookie cutter right out of the producer pack. I suppose if you know relatively nothing about how music is created and don't play any instruments, such stuff might seem more intense than it does to those of us who make tracks ourselves. (not to seem snobbish... just my opinion) Shpongle does not go into this category as they can be amazingly creative and inventive. The fact that you can tell from the first few bars of music that you are listening to Shpongle makes this case in spades. This is rather trippy stuff. I actually saw Omar in LA a couple times and forgot about him completely. The link to his bandcamp page is appreciated, as it seems he has a lot of styles I was unaware of and is evolving. Quite a bit of music there. From dirty lo-fi dub, to opiate soaked chill rock, to Acid Mothers Temple style freak outs, to retro prog and psychedelia. Some of it is too unpolished for my tastes, but I will be watching him for sure. Anyhooo... here is a little something that I find trippy AND musically jaw dropping: After about 2:30 minutes Holdsworth's solo begins to soar, but hang on because by the 3:30 mark most guitar players watching will think about giving up the intrument. Hehehehe. There are links to the whole 4th of July performance (in 7 parts) at the still fabulous Montreux Jazz Festival in the uploader comments section (click show more). Live shows by guys like this can really take you on a journey. Be well friends HF "Curiouser and curiouser..." ~ Alice

I concur, this man knows how to channel hyperspace through his guitar and music. Saw him this past December (2011) on his Australian tour in a power trio format and it was mind blowing. T'was standing in the middle of the floor, stage front center, with my eyes closed and head craned skyward having fantastic visions in my minds eye and it felt like Omar was channeling the energy of the universe through his guitar... And I was dead sober (most my friends were tripping on liquid sid, I personally prefer mind bending concerts sober to see how far out the music can take me naturally). The man is genius Peace and happy traveling. "The love I've made is the shape of my space"

I love some psytrance/psyprog also, but am really selective. I'm either into really bouncy, joyful psytrance, or the dark, swampy side of it...Terrafractyl, Delirious Noon, Electrypnose, Already Maged, Sentient, Grouch... Telefon Tel Aviv, indeed, as soulfood pointed out, made delicious music... "If you have any answers, We will be glad to provide full and detailed questions."

I'm into a lot of early psychedelic rock, stuff like Giles Giles and Fripp, Tyranosaurus Rex, Pretty things. Here's some silly, piper at the gates of dawn type silliness: http://youtu.be/WC8-mfrLeccAlso classic prog: Goblin, Guapo, Gong, Genesis, Caravan, Comus... Guapo is actually a current band. Impossibly good too. http://youtu.be/ZOvapP_BAzwAYREON!!!!!! http://youtu.be/et7JoSNG85c"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."

Like you said, if you make music yourself you would understand what goes into production. Imo electronic music is probably purer in it's psychedelic input because it's usually produced by the writer of the track and not left to a studio production team like many guitar bands etc.. The beauty in psychedelic electronic music is the subtleties that only the writer can get right. In these electronic tracks you may think they sound very samey and not much different to normal techn but to me anyway there's lots of psychedlia going on

I don't get where he's coming from at all. As an electronic music producer myself (and yes I can play/compose with "real instruments also ), I found his generalisation insulting, but obviously badly educated. Those "sounds" are just as much music as those notes you've been hearing since you were a baby. To me anyway Repetitions in music also lead to nice meditive spaces where I quite happily stay for hours... what's wrong with that, huh? Play it again I say

My favorite genre of music to listen to whilst having meditative/ritualist trips either solo or just me and my girl is ethno ambient. http://youtu.be/zwBl3rYUQ6UTrial of the Bow, Azam Ali, Islaja, Hudost. I love the drum beat on this one. Put a djembe under my hand, and at some point in my playing, this beat is sure to come out: http://youtu.be/-NuhMNR1xyo"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."

he's obviously never heard of john cage, stockhausen, walter carlos, or kraftwerk. they pioneered electronic music, without the use of a mouse.

Quest for Fire - "Strange Waves" (Semi pink floyd esque) Weird Owl - "Tickle the Invisible" (More chill psych) Samsara Blues Experiment - "Singata Mystic Queen" (More psych rock/metal) Colour Haze - "Love" (Psych rock, possibly one of the greatest songs ever written) Those along with the classics, of course: Floyd, Hendrix, QSMS, Jefferson Airplane, and Ozric Tentacles. “Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us.” ― Neil deGrasse Tyson

This track was played a lot during come ups onto LSD peaks back in the day when it was new... ahhhh. Listen to the whole track and see if it doesn't transport you. Remember that Rush is only a 3 piece. The utter fullness of the music is a testament to their true skill individually and as a group. "Curiouser and curiouser..." ~ Alice
