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?
no one’s mentioned Tool - Lateralus
pretty much anything by Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters, or Thrust
The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
Sunn O))) - Monoliths and Dimensions
Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O.
I am not familiar with Sunn O))) but given your other tastes I want to check them out
I saw Sunn and Godspeed You Black Emperor at different times in the same venue (Brooklyn Masonic Temple) and they were both the best show and the worst show I’ve ever seen in my life, respectively. Walked out halfway through Godspeed, it was so bad. Anyway, Sunn O))) rocks
Can you elaborate on why godspeed was best and worst at the same time? I’m intrigued …
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.
