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.

Waveless - my apathy

calstars, Friday, 23 June 2017 03:59 (six years ago) link

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

global tetrahedron, Friday, 23 June 2017 04:15 (six years ago) link

they're both really good though

global tetrahedron, Friday, 23 June 2017 04:22 (six years ago) link

Recommend a few breakaway tracks?

calstars, Friday, 23 June 2017 11:58 (six years ago) link

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.

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.

JoeStork, Friday, 30 June 2017 13:42 (six years ago) link

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

the underground is pass-agg (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 30 June 2017 22:17 (six years ago) link

yeah erykah badu 4 sure

OM - Conference of the Birds

Unchanging Window (Ross), Tuesday, 11 July 2017 03:47 (six years ago) link

OM + weed + thunderstorm is perfect

conference of the birds is dope

DJ Frane - Journey to the Planet of Birds

one year passes...

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

reggie (qualmsley), Friday, 12 October 2018 19:59 (five years ago) link

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.

disco like classic salsoul, first choice, loleatta holloway is absolutely fantastic stoner music, especially if you are like even %1 queer, which i know you are

if you're stoned and you want to bawl with joy, listen to "my love is free" by double exposure

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.
