Hi! I am slowly getting into Progressive electronic. I am looking for very psychedelic albums in the style of White Noise or Brainticket or Amon Düül II or John Zorn/Nacked City but mostly electronic. Something really crazy and experimental that makes you trip as if you took LSD. Thanks. |

To start, I recommend Bobby Beausoleil's Lucifer Rising (he was involved in some very bad stuff, Manson-related murder, but amazing music) |

This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it is psychedelic and it is Krautrock.  DSCHINN Gesundheit! The strangely-named Dschinn were a short-lived, psychedelic hard rock band who had the unique distinction of including two drummers in their line-up. Kind of like a German King Crimson then, only much better! Uh-oh, now I'm in trouble. If anyone (or more likely everyone) disagrees with me, I'll just have to take it on Dschinn.   1972: Dschinn - Dschinn - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLD5bSrzQwU&t=3s" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLD5bSrzQwU&t=3s |

I like to think this kind of thing is psychedelic. Mostly electronica on this song.

I haven't heard it yet, but Heldon's Stand By is a mix of prog electronic, experimental rock and psychedelic rock. You should try that. As well, if you're gonna get into prog electronic at all, here's a good starter pack: Vangelis - Blade Runner: The Soundtrack Tangerine Dream: Stratosfear Klaus Schulze: Irrlicht Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene Oneohtrix Point Never - Garden of Delete I chose some shorter ones so I don't daunt you.

Look up Shpongle. They are a British duo that has created highly dynamic music that closely resembles the space rock genre as defined by its second wave, Ozric Tentacles, and the likes. This video features all their albums from 1998 to 2017—7 hours of mind-bending electronic music. |

When it comes to exploring a more experimental vibe in electronic music, I have to give a shout-out to the London artist Robin Rimbaud—Scanner album dropped out on December 31, 2024, The Magician's Hat Vol. 4, which is available on Bandcamp: https://scanner.bandcamp.com/album/the-magicians-hat-vol-4-studio-2024" rel="nofollow - https://scanner.bandcamp.com/album/the-magicians-hat-vol-4-studio-2024  |

Gianfranco Reverberi's Rivelazioni Di Uno Psichiatra Sul Mondo Perverso Del Sesso is an electronic music-based soundtrack from the early 1970s. To the aficionados of spaghetti psychedelia, this should be the Holy Grail. |

Egisto Macchi's (who could have fit in several of PA subgenres) Electroacoustic masterpiece from 1971, I Futuribili / Futurissimo (it has been released as both) is a bad trip for sure. It's performed in such a way that actual strings oftentimes sound just as electronic as the actual electronics used. As a Library album it was propably intended for some kind of dystopian horror flick. It appears to be peppered lots of shorter tracks, but it works best as one full albums listening experience. I tried to find a representative track, but it doesn't really work like that: ...so here's the full album as well: For a more "conventional" but awesome electroproggy trip, that "rocks" a little like Brainticket and Amon Düül II does, try fellow Italians Sensation's Fix. My favorite by the band is Portable Madness: -maybe what you're looking for is the Krautrockin' Progressive Electronics of Cosmic Jokers. Galactic Supermarked is the perfect trip - far out into outer space (and so is their 1st. album) |

Every fan of crazy psychedelic and spacey electronic delicacies should discover a wealth of satisfaction in the 1995 album Twisted, the first release from Simon Posford, aka Hallucinogen, an English electronic music artist born in 1971. |

Their best, IMO, is Tales of the Inexpressible. ------------- “I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for those who like country music, denigrate means to ‘put down.'” – Bob Newhart |

Toward the more "trippy" side, you might check out: OHEAD Radio Massacre International Cosmic Ground Electric Orange Ring Van Mobius ------------- “I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do.

**** Mandragora is a band hailing from Brighton, England [so not to be confused with a neo-prog band of the same name from Argentina or with melodic death metal band Mandragora from Lithuania] that kicked off their journey in 1983. With vibes inspired by Hawkwind, they rocked the festival scene across the UK, including the iconic Stonehenge Free Festival back in '84, and even opened for Hawkwind during their UK tour. Their album Earthdance dropped in 1992, blending the sounds of the British psychedelic/space rock revival with the psy-trance of the time and traditional world music styles. This fusion created an awesome mix of electronic-based spacey psychedelia featuring traditional instruments, including flute. You may get the album on Bandcamp: https://mandragora1.bandcamp.com/album/earthdance" rel="nofollow - https://mandragora1.bandcamp.com/album/earthdance

There is so much stuff in this genre that it's practically an endless ocean of worthy electronic psychedelia. Strange Vibrations released their trippy and experimental album, Altered States, on the Aumega Project net-label yesterday. https://aumegaproject.bandcamp.com/album/altered-states" rel="nofollow - https://aumegaproject.bandcamp.com/album/altered-states |

Regarding the classic era, "Blake's New Jerusalem" is an ultimate masterpiece of psychedelic electronic music by Tim Blake (ex-Gong, Hawkwind), who performs synthesiser solos over sequenced cosmic waves, even an acoustic guitar, while his overlaid vocals are very trippy and chant about earth energy, mind-expanding, and all that hippy thing. |

"Astro Black" was recorded when Sun Ra started using synthesisers like the Minimoog a lot. Aside from Sun Ra's synth and electronic keyboards, it features resonating horns and deep grooves that create an otherworldly yet dark atmosphere that may embody a horrible trip if you're searching for it! |

Dropped back in '79, Symptome - Dei is a classic when it comes to dark electronic vibes mixed with avant-garde rock jams. Flamen Dialis gets tossed around as a cosmic take on Magma, loaded with 'tron sounds that really turn this album into a wild ride through both ancient times and the cosmic unknown. It gives off some serious early Tangerine Dream feels during their darker, more experimental phases, serving up deep electronic spells and abstract, visceral soundscapes. It's definitely one of those hidden French treasures that you don’t want to miss. |

Heldon IV - Agneta Nilsson is a totally unique album for 1976. Not too much of experimental rock à la Robert Fripp, which can be heard on their previous albums. This is more like a gloomier-sounding Tangerine Dream. Heldon's music is edgy and unsettling here. It stands out as being more innovative and impactful than any of Heldon’s earlier works; dark electronic impressiveness, psych-out trance effects, and drifting guitar sounds floating in cosmic ambience truly adorn this French classic. |
