Music to get stoned to

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.

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.

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.

Ack, sorry about the gunk.

thanks Stev, good choice

Insides Euphoria kicks ass

Thanks to flappy for that dark star rec upthread

Waveless - my apathy
https://open.spotify.com/track/3dtDa7dQcCDkkKz9Q3zkC7

was gonna say that waveless was great but mixed them up with breakaway

they're both really good though

Recommend a few breakaway tracks?

honestly, this totally depends on my mood AND the type of weed. Mental high = probably cerebral music of some kind: modern classical, Philip Glass, arch avant prog, absract electronic music. OR just listening to whatever I'm into at that moment, and probably hearing new things. When the high wears off, something a lot less demanding of my attention, and probably something I'm really familiar with.

Body high = do I even want to listen to music, or just watch TV? Or talk. If music, then probably something that goes well in the background (and again, familiarity is key). I feel like when a lot of people talk about "music to get stoned to", this is the state they mean.

A Top 10 from Youth of Killing Joke/Brilliant etc etc

I think we've had it out on ILX before somewhere as to whether Super Ape is a dub alb or not

liam have you read Mezz Mezzrow's Really the Blues? I think it would be relevant to your interests.

Man, I know they just collected all of AR Kane's singles into a handy 2-CD set, but if they re-released 69 with the Up Home EP it would quickly become one of the most amazing discs in my collection

As far as music for stonings, I'd prob recommend Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun and The Sea and Cake's The Fawn for starters

yeah erykah badu 4 sure

more hard rock/doom metal albums please

i guess all of it really

anything

OM - Conference of the Birds

OM + weed + thunderstorm is perfect

conference of the birds is dope

DJ Frane - Journey to the Planet of Birds

The ultimate band to smoke weed to are the Cowboy Junkies. The new album is so good. Margo Timmins voice is as sexy and slightly smoky as ever. Like a hazy dream.

alex tucker's new album (don't look away) is excellent to get stoned to especially if you dig classic eno vocal records

Autechre - late period Autechre is fascinating ON WEED. I recommend Move of Ten, AE_LIVE_DUBLIN, and elseqs 2-5

I remember listening to The Way Young Lovers Do from Astral Weeks stoned, and suddenly noticing the counterpoint in the strings, all the little touches. So I'll second AW.

the new Low album reveals itself as almost equal to 'loveless' while stoned, if my thursday evening was anything to go by

You must have been smashed

Only heard it once so far but I can see that working re: Low.

on the interstate to see MBV tonight, planning to eat 3x my usual dose

That’s a lot of shrooms dude

Nothing worse than being clean and sober at an Mbv show

autechre nts sessions
