Flying Teapot and Tago Mago are far best trippy albums on the list. Flying Teapot is a nice, solar trip, while Tago Mago is a dark, so called "bad trip" as a style of progressive psychedelia; both equally amazing albums, though. I clicked on Flying Teapot.

| I could go with any of the first three: Gong, Can, or PF. Went with Gong just to make it interesting... |

A bunch of truly fantastic albums, not a dud among them . My vote went to A Saucerful of Secrets, my favourite PF album hands down - with Third as a runner-up. |

LSD doesn't always mean "far-out" (Kid A for example...at least in my eyes), but in this case, i choose the Floyd yet again. ------------- Progrockdude |

If it comes to trip, Saucerful of Secrets is THE TRIP (for me). It doesn't mean that the other four aren't, but Set The Controls for The Heart Of The Sun and the title track do the job. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

Five SUPERB albums right here. I would say Can from this list, BUT, the truly 'trippiest' album for my ears would have to be the DOM album Edge Of Time. I mean, I feel like I'm incredibly stoned when I listen to this one, but I'm not, trust me . Haven't had anything for years......

Most far out? Tago Mago, IMO. All of those albums are excellent though.  -------------

I agree Audun. I love all these albums. A couple of genuine masterpieces among them too. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Tago Mago and Tanz are sheer masterpieces to me. Third? Sometimes but not always I prefer Volume Two. Saucerful and Teapot are personal faves and have been so for over 15 years, but I think both bands did better with subsequent releases. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Third, Tago Mago and Flying Teapot are the dead certain ones for me. Saucerful is almost there. Tanz I haven't fully digested yet. It's good, but it still goes a bit over my head, as all ADII albums I've heard does.

I know exactly what you mean. Igor Wakhevitch did that with me...for a looooooooong time, and then I suddenly got it. I love spinning those kinds of albums - especially after long pause. Then you kind of see how much your tastes have developed. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

GonG and Can are definitely the tops in trippiness here. I'll go with Can. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
