Music to get stoned to

I don't think music with more than 100 bpm is enjoyable when stoned. Music appreciable by someone on pot should be open in one way or the other. There should be details in the music which can be concentrated on when being stoned. Techno for example does not seem a good choice as it is too straight, not subtle enough. But I understand that having smoked weed won't enhance music which isn't convincing when being sober. The effect of THC will only be to focus the listener. If the music is rubbish, it won't improve when you are stoned.

Afrobeat
Benga
New kingdom
The Goats
Brian Jones Presents The pipes Of Pan At Jajouka (Your Eyes Are Like A cup Of Tea is hypnotic enough on its own)
Loop
The Forever Bad Blues Band

Spiritualized - Lazer Guided Melodies

Miles Davis - in a silent way

Good one

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
Listening to it has a similar effect as smoking a joint.

Clothilde -Fallait Pas Écraser La Queue Du Chat

Assuming we're talking about some decent Afghan or Nepalese, or at a pinch Lebanese, hash - not skunk.

not true ime! techno is some of my favorite music to listen to after smoking a little

Agree with marcos - find that a slowed down pot mind can make it easier to enjoy faster music (Drukqs comes to mind). I don't always find this is the case with stimulants on the other hand

Should we define stoned

I don't think music with more than 100 bpm is enjoyable when stoned.

cannot cosign, a LOT of grind bands basically smoke as much pot as they can and then play as fast as they can and it's glorious. Brutal Truth while high is a fucking thrillride

Massive Attack - Mezzanine

United States of America s/t
White Noise - An electric storm
Catherine Ribiero - Paix

1. Circle — Sunrise
2. literally anything

AR Kane - 69
Lo Borges - his first album and A Via Lactea
Loveless for sure
Harold Budd - The White Arcades
Raekwon - Only Built For Cuban Linx

so many...

THE FAME MONSTER is a fucking insane listen while stoned

Al Green

Neil Young

Kerri Chandler

frickin' Autechre, man

Move of Ten
Untilted

I checked twice before posting this one but seriously, next time you get lifted listen to The Quintet: Jazz at Massey Hall. Bud Powell will take you to new places.

CAN - The Singles

i have never tried tago mago in this state but it has to be awesome.

In the middle of testing the AR Kane - 69 shout-out above tonight, and I can verify the claim. This is phenomenal. Recommended experience.

branwell OTM

xpost Glad to be of service!

A.R.Kane i is also really good as are the e.ps which were collected on a 2cd set a couple of years back.
Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious or not as case may be.

i never understood the fuss about a.r.kane. maybe i didn't listen to 69 in the right circumstances...

Context. When they showed up *nothing* else sounded like them. They were being stupidly hailed as a "black jesus & Mary Chain" but, besides the judicioususe of guitar feedback, nothing could have been further from the truth. They were doing the layers of blissful guitars and swoony vocals some years before MBV and others took up the mantle.

But it's cool. I know plenty of folks who can't stand AR Kane and then there are those few, like me, who'll be forevah smitten.

A.R.Kane were grouped into a thing that was dubbed Oceanic Rock with some other bands who were pretty unique at the time.
I think Hugo Largo, Saqqara Dogs and a few others. THink that was about 88 so before Loveless.

That Oceanic Rock thing is a Simon Reynolds moniker. I *do* remember AR Kane being the first people I ever heard use the term "Dreampop" (describing themselves).

everything

A.R. Kane - Americana 2x1LP
Last Sold: Aug 2016
Highest Price: $12
1 copy listed for sale: $99.99

Apparently you must also be stoned to list AR Kane records for sale.

BTW, I think I may have been that last purchase back in August.

Loveless was much better than any of that... hold on though, I've never heard of Saqqara Dogs.

Jon Hassell "Vernal Equinox"

69 is such a cool weird album, it's like a stoned ocean drifting talk talk

With distorted guitars

His voice is the hardest part to tolerate for a full album. They should have done more instrumentals.

huh i think his voice is fine, lovely even.

law & order theme

Miami Vice theme, obviously

i've just realized that achim reichel and a.r. kane are not one and the same

achim reichel is good music to get stoned to. obviously.

When I was a kid I checked Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man out of the library thinking it was the H.G. Wells sci-fi novel! Anyway, I read about a hundred pages, fully expecting the unnamed downtrodden African American narrator to eventually become a scientist, invent an invisibility potion and go nuts or something. Which he never does, obviously.

Regardless, the book's introductory first chapter smells strongly of sci-fi: Invisible Man lives anonymously in a hidden room in the sewers filled with thousands of light bulbs powered by stolen electricity. He describes how one time he tried to bum a cigarette and someone gave him a marijuana cigarette instead; how he got stoned and listened to Louis Armstrong and his perception of time changed profoundly and things like that. Twelve year old Liam was all like, "Whoa! Weed makes music better!?", a fact he never forgot and eventually found was perfectly true.

Anyway, I'll second Invisible Man and nominate Louis Armstrong's protostoner Hot 5's and 7's as basically peerless weed music. Even the lo-fi time-weathered nature of these records, and also the fact that they are artifacts from what is basically an alien culture at this remove, adds for me a kind of inimitable smoky/ghostly mystique to it all. The stuff has aged like the finest of weed-flavored wines.

If you're into Achim Reichel The Insides' Euphoria lp has a lot of echoplex sounding guitar. Lovely lp alongside a 20 something female singer's angst filled lyrics.
Well worth checking out, not sure about getting stoned to.
