Cool album, I really need to listen to more Gong/planet gong and Steve Hillage in general.

Anything from the trilogy is a candidate for trippiest sound around!

Yes man! Only a matter of time before a fellow Ozrics fan chimed in....been with them since tape days, their highs and lows, but Brandi's playing with them heralded a great return to form....esp. "Mooncalf"...and gorgeous to boot :)

Glad to see another here!

Early days eh? I was there at the Crypt in Deptford (still have my membership card) when they only had a couple of tapes :) My mate is a good friend of Ed, and still is, so I've been lucky enough to hang outa few times and share a spliff or several backstage.

Eds released a new album this year, which is well worth a listen - he's still got it!
If you also liked the ullulators, you should really check out what Gavin has been up to too - he has released some amazing stuff lately - check out bandcamp for his stuff.

Take care, fellow old person! :) hehe :)

Heady days they were, great craic! Will check that out.... Happy trails man....

Cant have psychedelic rock thread and have no Ozric Tentacles? I've righted that wrong! Hope some of you enjoy!

Lucky to see them few times. At a free (illegal) festy at Wycombe common, had several micro dots and thought I was watching floyd circa saucers era, wow, a very colourful memory.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Let's a modern classic to the mix :)

:)

Never not be a fav one of mine. awesome to have a smoke alongside

Hi, new member hope you dont mine me Tagging on.

Big fan of these at the moment, very pink floyd

Nice. Post away :) Guitars Matter !

Tool - Third Eye

Love a bit of Monster Magnet! Think you can consider them stoner rock!

100% Stoner Rock

the mars volta la via la vieques

At the drive are my fave ultra loud band, saw Mars Volta twice in Portsmouth, wow brutal gig.

I would love to have seen Mars Volta.. Seen At The Drive in a couple of times. Once at Reading festival a long time ago (think I saw Sparta there aswell), and caught them at Cochella around 2012. Still, loud, mental and awesome.

No idea how far back I'm commenting here. Just wanted to express my solidarity re: ATDI. The summit of early Emo, beyond which lay only death (and Mars Volta).

I hit play on Sunday morning... perfect track.

Saw these guys around Christmas, had a crafty smoke beforehand of course. Fantastic. Heavy as fuck.

Oh man, gotta have that crafty smoke before live music, it’s the only way. Awesome band too.

This is probably my favourite track off the new Lowrider album.

Nice and fuzzy. Happy smoking!

Thanks for introducing to this band mate!

Me too!

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Nuclear fusion.

Check out the crazy microtonal fret spacing on the guitars!

White Denim - Drug

Haven't spotted any Moon Duo on here yet. Lots of tracks to choose from. And properly intense live too

I think you might enjoy Devil's Witches mate.

Oh nice one man, love it. Those down tuned guitars are like the audio version of a heavy Indica haha. Cool video as well, thanks.

Just found this from that Devil's Witches song, I dig it a lot.

I digging this to my friend! Awesome sound.

I agree mate glad you stumbled across it as well! I love it when I get a comment on one of these songs and I get to listen to them again.. some of them I forget about, it's a nice surprise. :D

Me too, love the way it builds.

khruangbin - maria tambien

Man I'm just jamming now, love this channel

Yeah mate 100% agree, KEXP are representing all the best music at the moment.

Preach! The drummer in this one gets me every time, he is really in to it.

Yeah what a channel! Nice, Just smoking my Friday afternoon fatty to this :)

Sounds like a good time, I'm right there with ya. What you smoking on?

Nice, I’m back on the 0.0. So smooth, I just ordered some more.
What you on at the moment?

Heard so many good things about the 0.0, hows the high? Got a little mixture of G13, Guava Dawg and Grape Ape, very sweet flavour to them.

It sounds like you’ve got a sweet shop!
The 0.0 has got a real nice quality to it, it doesn’t send me into space or anything it just gives me a real nice lift that leaves me happily lazy, very hard to leave it alone.

Haha I know, still in awe of all these strains man. Ah that sounds like a lovely little treat indeed.

I dig this a lot, great song to start your day to :D

This album is great. Found it on my YouTube rec's last year, proper Sky Valley vibes.

Haha great analogy.

Adding more Elder to the list,

Their new album is dry, but this 18 minute kraut rock inspired jam from last year's Silver & Gold Sessions is a screaming banger.

Get your smoke on and enjoy biggas!

Some Swedish vibes for ya.
Gothenburg space rock

Asteroid from Orebro

Siena Root from Stockholm
A bit more psych here and there.

Stuck in motion from Enkoping
Laid back psychedelic blues

And for those of you into more proggy sounding stuff From Reykjavik, Iceland. Lucy in blue a fine band to chill to (superb live).

This is cool. Evi Vine, Sabbath.

Not rock but stoner music none the less

Likewise

Sweet cover! \m/ \m/

So many good bands on this link, I loved some of the early Monster Magnet and of course Black Sabbath are great. If you haven't heard of Elder they are good. As they've progressed they've really got some mellow flows.

Hadn’t heard of Elder but awesome, love that SG sound.

Also, listen to Chowder - Passion Rift album...can't find much on youtube but it's worth getting.

Black sabbath is in my opinion the greatest fucking band ever.

Found these guys recently, sound like the melvins mixed with jimmy hendrix

Sabbath Society

Love Sabbath and loving Slift too, saw them posted on reddit while back! Increidble ! Prob my fav find of the year so far.

I thought about Gong, Hawkwind and all the possible candidates.
But I think this track by Ash Ra Tempel featuring Timothy Leary is another level.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE TRAIN CJJJJJ!!!!!

First bioshock! “Would you kindly...” :D

This ^^ absolutely the best ever imho

This. Fantastic game.

Monkey Island ftw

Lechucks revenge..

Yes!

Shenmue on the Sega Dreamcast, written directed and produced by Japanese genius Yu Suzuki. Beautiful and way ahead of it's time.
A teenth of Afghan black, Ericsson T18 on silent, while i roamed the streets of Japan. Those were the days!

Have you played the new Shenmue? Shenmue 3 I think? I played a load of the original on Dreamcast back in the day and bought the remastered version for PS4 that had 1&2 on it (wasn't as good as I remembered) intresting to know if 3 is any good.

Old School- I used to love the original Silent Hill on Playstation, thought that was a really clever game. Also MYST.

Silent hill for sure, was Syked for new one coming out with Kojima onboard but alas, it wasn’t to be

A new dead space or rebuffed one would be epic

I assume this is an old post but if you haven’t already check out The Callisto Protocol!!! From the creators of dead space, looks like top tier sci fi horror and is set for release at the end of 2022 (although will probably be delayed until next year, you know how these things go lol)

Yeah, it looks awesome

Bloody loved Silent Hill. Creepy AF. Used the machine's limitations really well by clouding the streets with an eerie fog. I still recall hearing the footsteps of those fucked-up things but not be able to see them. Remember the cut-away sequence when the nurse staggered towards you?

Liked witcher 3 storyline.

Bit like game of thrones, but mainly just addicted to gwent.

100% the witcher. Managed to get every gwent card aswell even when you could very easily miss a few card through wrong decisions.

a cultured bigga appreciates the classics

Wow! I totally forgot about LSL. I bloody loved all the Sierra adventure games when I was but a young lad.

Lol lol amazing. Blast from the past.

The last of us. For me nothing even comes close. Played it about 10 times through now.

For me Heavy Rain really stands out, also Shenmue 2 and LA Noir, all so far ahead of their time.

Did you ever get to play The Taxidermist dlc in Heavy Rain?

No sadly not, you? If so worth it?

Yeah, it's amazing. So atmospheric. Only problem was, it was supposed to be a two or three part dlc but the creator gave up on it after the first one so it never got finished. As far as I know he gave up on making video games after that. If you can get hold of the first part tho, I'd highly recommend it

Evil within or hitman, which is an ongoing plot over a number of years. Quantum break.

There are so many...

Witcher 3 has to be up there with the best along with all 3 bioshock games. Halo 1-3 & the latest god of war. Here hoping cyberpunk 2077 can join them too!

have you tried cyberpunk 2077 since the fixes? it surely belongs on this list

GTA

Metal Gear Solid on the PSone blew my mind, the other MGS got a bit preachy but the PSone version had everything, great game play, great stelf sections, good action sequences etc etc I still think about the bit where Psycho Mantis moves your controller, freaked me out.

GTA SA
I loved bringing big smoke down but was some years ago now.

DOOM 2016. Absolute masterpiece!

GTA 4, more recently Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of us was also pretty epic, I’m looking forward to part 2.

Bioshock 1 was drippingly beautiful and draws you in. Dark room, good thumping surround sound cranked up, roll a few fattys. Great replay capability with the good or bad decisions and the array of different weapons and potions. One of the finest pieces of electronic entertainment to this day, including films.
Noteables: Deus ex, last of us, elder scrolls,Halo 1.
Its when you play them as well i think. There are more advanced games now, better ai, graphics etc, but such a wow factor for me at the time when i was a fanatic.

Metro Exodus is pretty intense. I agree, Bioshock Infinite was pretty awesome. Saying that Bioshock 1+2 were pretty raw. Best plot ever, though? Has to be 'The Secret of Monkey Island 2'.

Like many others, 'last of us' will always stay in the mind and I'm eager to play no2.
So many others worthy of note, but I'm also big fan of Horizon on ps4, such an excellent story and characters and possibly my fave of this gen.

Honorable shout out to 'Days Gone' which never got the praise it deserved imo.

I started playing “Days gone” when it came out on free to play. I would’ve paid for it if I’d have known it was that good! I’m hooked and I never thought I would be.

Max Payne 2: Fall of Max Payne - I like that noiresque atmosphere, the music, the over the top melancholic atmosphere... It harmonised well with my mood back then...

What did you think of Max Payne 3?

Anything from the dragon quest series, elder scrolls oblivion. Dragon age origins.

This^ elder scrolls by far the most immersive games. Skyrim is over 10 years old and is still un matched, probably never will be. Well over 100 hours game play or unlimited hours if you don't bother with main quest lines.

GOLDENEYE on the old Nintendo 64 ;)

Shenmue 1 and 2. It was special.

Life Is Strange

It really shows how the slightest thing can completely change the reality you get stuck in

It makes you contemplate the cause and effect that lead to living in your current reality and how fragile everything we perceive is

Ain't played the game in years but I still fell so emotionally connected to it

Xenoblade Chronicles for me. I love good RPGs and this story was kinda unique and on top of that the Gameplay was really fun too. Sadly the follow up Games were kinda meh...

Borderlands is life

I mean... Mass effect. Always. Well, not Andromeda. Fuck Andromeda.

Well ME3 End was retarded...but up until then the Story was awesome.

The game I've enjoyed the most in many a year has been Dying Light, it's so well made.

Got to be final fantasy 9 I remember playing it as a 10 yr old and was super emotional lol

The last of us, for sure. What an emotional journey. Really looking forward to the next one coming out. Can’t wait to dive into that. Really nice to have summat to look forward to in these trying times. Much love.

Metal Gear Solid Series was excellent. Loved God of wars. First Bioshock was awesome. Assassins creed Odyssey was decent enough!

It got shit on constantly but I fucking LOVED Destiny 1 and 2. The story was meh, but the game itself ran so smoothly and in my opinion was one of the best FPS games to come out in years. I did stop playing a few months back though because I just had nothing left to do in it.

Story wise either Last of Us or God of War 5.

D1 and d2 played well but they would, its a bungie shooter. But they felt hollow which is a shame considering the hipe before 1. The lore is really good tho if you can peice it together. But it should be in the game more. D1 tied me over quite nicely between borderlands 2 and 3 lol and I met some awesome people playing it

The story in destiny is about to be blown open and I cant wait! Bring on september!

Literally just bought Shadowkeep like a week ago. Got my Titan to 965 so far. Now for the Warlock and Hunter lol. Forgot how much I enjoyed playing the game

Sleeping dogs, massively slept on. No pun intended.

Myst - never attempt it stoned!
Bioshock (obvs) but also Bioshock Infinite.
And Wolfenstein: The New Order.
Oh, and Ghouls'n'Ghosts....

I got hooked on the Sierra adventure games back in the early 90's. That led me on to the epic Broken Sword series by Revolution. Still worth checking out for its humour and storyline. Point and click has never been such fun.

I bring you the cure for mankind and you wanna play the pissy little brother?

probably PC rust tbh
