My problem with this is ive listened to pink floyd my whole life. I've been told how amazing it is but have never experienced something that everyone else experiences.
It's like someone telling me they believe in ghosts because of an experience they have had that i haven't and then telling me the story of their experience. Great story, but needs that experience to make it real.
So Floyd is an obvious suggestion, and that is not in any way meant to deter anyone from seeking it, but is one that is potentially problematic if it has been over hyped before you experience it in an shattered state of mind.
As a came to it in middle age fledgling stoner i feel the closest i can get to a stoned floyd experience that other people seem to be able to have, only really happens for me with finding something new that im not already familiar with, or at least that i dont have a long history with built up expectations. But not having had that stoned Floyd experience I've heard so much about, i could be way off if my amazing experiences with other music aren't the same type of experience.
(Like we can all share experiences about a type of food, like spaghetti as an example, we can collectively recognize the spaghetti experience but ill never find my mom s spaghetti anywhere other than my mom's table, even if i follow her recipe, even if the only detectable difference is that i know she didn't make it, it won't be the same experience)
But i think the pursuit of that experience even if you don't find it is still awesome. And here is a picture of me trying to have that experience with a couple extra steps: outside in a hammock with a "cosmic" laser projector pointed at a patio cover. Highly recommend
Edit: spelling. Also shattered was meant to be altered but left it as is because it was a fun error that i liked
I love Acid Rain so much! Not that I don’t like other stuff by Lorn, but I wish I could find other music like that song in particular. The closest I’ve found is amphetamine by mnqn
Yeh I know what you mean, acid rain is somewhat unique even within Lorns catalogue. It just has a different kind of feel and unfortunstely I can't offer anything else really.
Dolor has some similar stuff here and there and did an EP with Lorn which is good stuff but it still isnt Acid Rain xD
I should give them another go. My half assed research involved googling them and listening to some snippets of songs. None of them really grabbed me, so I didn't dig much deeper.
Anything by Shpongle, but here's a good album to put on! Nothing Lasts... But Nothing is Lost. Fantastic psychedelic trance music with influence from world music.
