amazing album man have not head it in years gona go find my copy now thanks

This & Massive Attack - Blue Lines

Shit yeah! Moon Safari was great when it landed in the late 90's and still sounds every bit as fresh today. I'm also partial to a bit of Junip, a Swedish folk rock band.

YES! You have good taste in cameras and music, Carver.

This is still also a stone cold classic - lovely

Trip Hop
Portishead - Dummy
Massive Attack - Protection
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
DJ Cam - Underground Vibes

Techno
Richie Hawtin - DE9 Closer To The Edit
Pan-Pot - Confronted
Robert Hood - Internal Empire
Actress - Splazsh

Drum & Bass
Logical Progression Sessions 1 & 2

Ambient
Loscil - Endless Falls

Now this is a list! Id add some Burial and Four Tet in there...

Logical Progression Sessions remind me of when I first started enjoying the high. 20 years later, I'm rediscovering it.

Yessssss.....+1 Logical Progression. I'll be dusting that vinyl off this weekend.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

+ checking out the recommendations here...

First time I heard Miles Davis on sketches of Spain i could feel the sun and smell the olive trees, Rare a record truly transports you so effectively.

Some great albums on your list.

Have a cup of tea, have another one....

Hot rats :)

Not many artists can make me laugh out loud, Zappa did often.

Very good call... got to add grand wazoo and Joe's garage to the list. The keyboard solo on cyborg is genius

Ticks all round.

My guitar teacher switched me on to these guys way back. Nowadays, I appreciate this much more than I did then!

Lucky enough to see Ozrics at several free festivals in late eighties and nineties, once so caned on micro dots I thought I was watching floyd from the meddle era.
Great band , nice guys.
In similar vein try the ;porcupine tree’

Its a personal choice and each to their own taste however if there is a list of great albums to listen to when stoned then Fleetwood Mac - Rumours has to be on it.If you have never heard it then you are missing out on one of the greatest albums ever made.

Rumours takes on a totally new life when stoned. I wish I had the songwriting gene!

+1 for Rumours - there is a great documentary about the making of it...well, about the whole band, how they formed etc. They were basically hating each other when that album was made (which is obvious when you listen to the lyrics). Have a look for it on the iPlayer - well worth a look

This is a special one for sure :)

My go to is Pink Floyd ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, followed by Dave Matthews ‘Before These Crowded Streets’ or ‘Under the Table and Dreaming’ and First Aid Kit ‘Ruins’

Saw Phaeleh at Kendal Calling 10 years ago and he played this album in full. Been in love with it ever since. My go to.

I'll also throw this album in for indica fans.

Zero 7 - Simple Things

Takes me back to the early 90's......that and Moon Safari by Air stand out for me. I listened to Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld by the Orb a lot back then too. I still roll this one out - another great toking album.

So good man, great choice.

Discovered Double Negative by Low last year and have listened to it whilst toking many times now. Went straight into my stoner music list... Sounds awesome on vinyl..

Thanks for that tip…I keep defaulting to ‘Things We Lost In The Fire’ but will play this today after a good toke on Smoggy’s Mimosa! 🤤🤗

That's the best idea I've heard so far this week

👍😂

From avenged sevenfold through to chopin and everything in between. This is really awesome to listen to. If you want a nice hour musical journey one of the best albums I could listen to from start to finish is Smashing Pumpkins, Siamese Dream, and it's not traditionally my fav music. Or anything Led Zep.

Siamese Dream... That was an album.

Siamese Dream is a master piece! Soma is my fave!

I'll check that out - thanks for the tip

can't beat a bit of BOC

This is a bad boy for chilling to, and the artist not very well known so give it a whirl.

K&D Sessions and DJ Kicks albums are legendary!

Ah I have quite a few Waiwan tracks! Excellent selection...will give that a try!

Waiwan is my favourite ‘unknown’ artist - really low key releases that are mind blowing. Got a couple of his remixes on vinyl will try and find them and upload here!

You have great taste sir!

You too bruv ;-)

Some really great recommendation here, making a whole new playlist :)

Great album alright,recently rediscovering how good the klf-chill out album is,well worth a listen,albeit a little less electronic but ye,cant go wrong with the k&d sessions either!

Thanks for the recommendation - I'll get into that over the weekend

Carbon Based Lifeforms for that ambient chill.

Haven't listened to the K&D sessions for ages! Well thats my morning soundtrack sorted.

Strange Cargo 3 by William Orbit is good toking album.

Psyence Fiction by Unkle.
Can walk for miles listening to this album.

Nightmares on Wax, Smokers Delight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6ixa3G_tL4&list=PLwyAcvJve52v8oPM0kqxY0KsoP0raATLe&ab_channel=NightmaresOnWax

Tripping to this right now thanks to this post!

Or as we used to call it....the ultimate album come down album! Not that this happens anymore, but...put this on as the last album of the night/morning after a night of raving and loads of mdma! Perfect!! Thanks for reminding me of this, been about 15 years since I listened to this beast!

You know it - that's how I first discovered it too. And yeah, It's been waaaayyyyy too long since I had one of those nights. As soon as the world gets back to normal I'm going to recreate 'the old days' :-)

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.

The wall.

Any, post Syd, Floyd for me- as long as it’s an album start to finish, for the full experience

Yeah, you need the full experience. Imagine a single from Dark side or animals. Even worse, wish you were here. Damn pesky kids don’t know what a single is. Bah humbug.

Ha ha. Those darn whippersnappers.

There's soo many choices..

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain is one of them!

maverick strike

This was a great album - what ever happened to Finlay?

Not a clue

Matisyahu One Day

this song really hits me hard i duno why

or anything by toots! rip !

cant listen to toots without a massive grin on my face

Lord Apex SSV2

Goya Gumbani & Kiina - The Lesser-Known

In the last few months I’ve discovered Ben Böhmer. I find his music and mixes to be superb listens while high. Mainly upbeat tempos contrasted with deep bass and uplifting beats. Give it a try ???

https://youtube.com/watch?v=6_CJbnHiPDU

Big favourite back in the day.
https://youtu.be/Z7If6GODLFc

Unless I missed it, how has no one mentioned Dark Side of the Moon?!

It's possibly the only album that can get you high with no supply!

Alt-J - An Awesome Wave

Gotta be up there alongside. Genesis and Then There Were Three.

Just been listening to 1995 by k&d , nice, sort of orbital meets urban jazz.

K&D are (were) the Dons! Love those guys I'd put Cinematic Orchestra up there too. Worth checking out if you've not heard their stuff.

Love cinematic orchestra, pink martini I think are similarly talented,

Oooh not heard of Pink Martini - will check them out

Will see if on tidal

https://youtube.com/watch?v=8iU8LPEa4o0

Not an album as such, but I absolutely love uplifting and mellow jazz beats such as this when high...

Couldn't agree more. For me St Germain's first album always hits the spot.

Had to add this

Just watched 10 minutes of that - awesome! I'm an amateur music producer and love tweaking the knobs and dials so I will be watching this in full over the weekend - thanks for sharing

I'll throw this in... A bit obscure... Gets the old red eyes pumping and gets a nice on the go, too.

Nice! Thanks, dude.

Personally afro man hits the wisker on my chin,

lol use to flat out play this. tried to listen again recently though and I feel it hasn't aged well. the beats aren't great!

It's all relative I guess eh! I still love it personally and feel it holds up well after 22 years....but Jesus, reminds me how old I am!

keep rollin' that tumbleweed brother ;D

Definite era here.
Dub Come Save Me.

Great times :)

One of my all time favourites. I was fortunate enough to see Arthur Lee play play the album in full in Liverpool about 20 years ago. I might have been a bit stoned stood at the front

The liverpool gig was with shack yeah??
I was real lucky too and caught the forever changes tour at the 02 with half orchestra, and stripped back in king tuts and queens hall with baby lemonade, absolutely amazing gigs.

Fantastic album one of the greats! Recently bought the Record Store Day release of unreleased tracks and outtakes 👍

If you’ve not already give Rodriguez’s Cold Fact a listen.
If you’re a fan of Love the you’ll probably like

I’ve seen the Rodriguez documentary “Sugar Man” well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it but don’t think I’ve heard the album. I will give it a listen.

His second album “Coming from Reality” doesn’t get the same praise but I’m a big fan of that too. Another one we’ll worth a little listen

I've said before that Foo Fighters are one of the last true mainstream, longstanding, "Rock Bands" that maintain the rock spirit

Short lived bands are still making good rock music (GVF a good shout), but the days of Rock Gods are gone....

i always enjoy telling a youngling that the foo fighters came from nirvana

I always enjoy telling them that i saw Dave Grohl drumming for Scream before he joined Nirvana.

They were an awesome band, love that hardcore scene.

Radiohead seems the bridge between epochs.

I like radiohead, but they arent a rock band to me.

Loveeee radio head :

yeah i just wanna fucking jump off it

Rock music is still alive and well, its just not as popular as it used to be. It isnt dangerous and exciting to young people any more, rap/hiphop has taken its place in that regard...

It sucks Greta Van Fleet are the only example being brought up here though, to me they are highly derivative and not really doing anything new.... Check out Clutch, Steven Wilson, Opeth, Graveyard, Lake Street Dive, Menzingers, The Hold Steady, Elephant Tree, Creeper - all great artists making interesting music. And hey there are still SOME big bands, like Biffy Clyro, Foals and Queens of the Stoneage doing pretty cool stuff!

My neighbors love Clutch and now all their windows are broken I can hear the lyrics better.

Steve Wilson is a fantastically talented musician, however he's also a mahoosive elitest plonker who for a very long time wouldn't release music on streaming services due to it being "digital" and lower quality and therefore not the experience he wanted for his listener base. He has since changed his stance on this but it along with some really awful interviews he did make me unable to listen to his music (knowingly)

Anyhow I felt like sharing that for no real reason

☁️🐰☁️

Haha same goes for Tool... I'm a fan but yeah he definitely has an air of pretentiousness! Seems to go hand in hand with prog rock xD

Yup I'm definitely not arguing there 😃

who is greta van fleet?

They are after the last, like a symphony orchestra playing the same shit centuries later. But they do fucking rock.

Metallica

You're thinking it's blur aren't you

enough x-er myopia, rock made it past the millennium folks

Arctic Monkeys?

make the strokes look like innovators

Iron maiden

Jethro tull- locomotive breath 🤘
Wolfmother- joker and the thief 🤙
Marilyn Manson- cry little sister 🤟

Just passing the time…smoked a big one then came up with that👆😁😎
