Deep, deep music

[Shadow Conception]

What do you listen to when you're stoned/in a thought-provoking mood?

I was thinking something along the lines of "Clutter" by Ronald Jenkees, or stuff from Enigma.

 

[Analog]

I have never been stoned, but isn't that what Pink Floyd is for?

 

[MrPickins]

Usually Orbital.

The brown album or middle of nowhere most often.

I like listening to that kind of stuff when I'm studying or programming.

 

[Q]

Not stoned but I like to listen to Massive Attack

 

[Shadow Conception]

^I'll check these out.

Analog: Yeah, but I'm thinking more instrumental stuff. While Enigma's not completely instrumental, it's kind of what I'm looking for; music that relaxes you (analogous to Comfortably Numb?).

Seconded.

 

[destrekor]

I'd say that Tool, Led Zeppelin, Incubus, The Mars Volta, Sublime and Long Beach Dub Allstars.

ambient music? The soundtracks for The Fountain and Requiem for a Dream. Both are epic.

I have RFAD's soundtrack, and "Death is the Road to Awe" from The Fountain. Both are amazing, and definitely would fall into what I'm looking for.

Sigur Ros, Mogwai

i don't get stoned, but i'd highly recommend explosions in the sky (hence my username)

If I'm thinking deep I need to drone out...

EDIT: There's some interesting background on drone music. Never knew it's history but having experienced the power of it, it makes sense:

A good place to start would be the "Electric Calm" compilations, volumes 1, 2, and 3 are on iTunes, and 4 is on Amazon.

Another genre you might really get into is Dub.

[ed21x]

Along your lines, stuff like Crystal Method, Massive Attack, Marco Torrence, Infected Mushroom, Chicane and Chemical Brothers. Deep Forest and Ambient Pill are both a little more chill.

 

[I Saw OJ]

I enjoy listening to Boards of Canada. Downtempo electonica with a sort of analog sound, really cool.

 

[schneiderguy]

Lustmord

 

[Ricochet]

I'm very partial to Hooverphonic - Eden. Aside from the original here are two different version of it.

From the movie Bolt
Sarah Brightman/Enigma remix

Another great sample of mood music can be found on the hard to find soundtrack to the movie The Saint.

 

[will889]

I usually listen to Steve Roach (who has done some game music) for deep Ambients.

Along these same lines, check out Ulrich Schnauss and Jon Hopkins.
