One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?

Check out shpongle and tipper

Bear with me: Beiguan music.

It's traditional Chinese music with tinny horns, drums and symbols. Close your eyes and imagine a temple procession slowly and loudly passing by, puppets, costumes, dancers, musicians, firecrackers, the smell of street food and general din of human enjoyment.

If you want something less chaotic, a gamelan orchestra is like rain decided to hold a soiree.

And then when you're ready to feel the waves break over your soul, it's time for Taiko drumming.

Veil of Imagination by Wilderun

Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I discovered Hirasawa Susumu through his work on the Paprika soundtrack and later his other albums thanks to the magic of Youtube. I'm not even sure how to describe it, it's a whole world. There's this album (Kyusai no giho). I'm not a big fan of japanese music otherwise, but this ? I've never heard anything remotely like this. And it seems so coherent, so... mature, in a way.

Great idea for a thread btw, will have to peruse the replies

[–] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

His Paprika soundtrack is integral to the movie. The opening theme where we see how she travels is phenomenal - the imagery plus the music is such a perfect one-two munch it makes me tear up.

Miles Davis On the Corner

The Velvet Underground & Nico

Boards of Canada Music has the Right to Children

[–] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not sure if it fits the assignment, but the first two Human League albums from the 70s (Reproduction and Travelogue) are analogue synth brilliance. If you can find the expanded version of Reproduction with the Dignity of Labour EP & flexidisc conversation added, even better.

Music by Cavelight by Blockhead. My fav stoned album of all time, probably.

Waltari - Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! Death Metal Symphony in Deep C

One of the first collaborations of a metal band with a classical orchestra. That kind of stuff became more commonplace later, but this mix of death metal, classical music and all kinds of other influences remains unique to this day.

The dwarf fortress soundtrack slaps so much harder than it has any right to

KOAN Sound - Polychrome. Everything these guys do is amazing but I feel like this album in particular has an unmatched vibe.

[–] gimpchrist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

For Hawwa and Aimina watch it on a large screen up close when you're high.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Some more modern/mainstream ones:

I love Janelle Monae and the Archandroid albums are fantastic.

Alt-J, we saw them live and my kids said "I just want to lay on the ground and listen", and that's a pretty good description of it.

AWOLNATION, the music is heavy but nice to sleep to, it is dreamy in some way.

Dark Side of the Moon

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s a bit cliche but Dark Side vinyl, loud af hits perfect.

Operation Mindcrime is an awesome album that is filled with absolute bangers. It's also exactly as relevant now as it was when it was released in 1988, which is terrifying. Still I highly recommend it. The follow up album Operation Mindcrime 2, not so much.

[–] mikyopii@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis) by Praxis is really bizarre and amazing.

Glass swords by Rustie. Incredible album and very unique.

[–] mryessir@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Red Gone Wild (redman). Incredible piece of art. There are layers upon layers of instruments perfectly mastered. And redman is firreee.
