I Love Psychedelic Music
I love psychedelic music. Now usually when I make this statement, it is met with a lot of confusion... So allow me to explain what I mean when I say psychedelic music.
The word 'psychedelic' seems to be the one causing the confusion, so I'll start there. Psychedelic; as in 'a psychedelic trip', I.e a head-trip induced by psychedelic drugs. Those would be drugs such as LSD, DMT, Psillocybin, Peyote...etc... Many mistakenly believe that a psychedelic trip is visual hallucinations, but it entails so much more than the pretty colors :-) The main part of a psychedelic trip is the mental trip - aptly named because it does take your mind 'on a trip'.
Psychedelic music; so named because it can either invoke or aid such a mental trip... If you allow it. I jest that it is music made by those on psychedelics for those on psychedelics :-) But what makes this particular genre of music so beautiful is that it can take your mind to these places without drugs being necessary. All you need is a willing mind that knows the psychedelic mindset... The music will see that it easily finds its way back. That is why I love psychedelic music - it connects me to Akasha again when the drugs are weak or non-existent.
But I understand that my desc<x>ription is very vauge, and ba<x>sed solely on my interpretation. So I will name some examples of what I consider to be psychedelic music.
Pink Floyd, especially the pre-Dark Side of the Moon stuff.
Coil, Explosions in the Sky, Neurosis, Milk Cult, Pelican, Harvestman, Shpongle...TOOL.
Even some Nine Inch Nails Albums can be considered psychedelic, but Trent covers a great many genres.
