Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by the Flaming Lips

I love that album my dad used to play that in the car when I was little

If you haven't checked out the two Ronald Jones Lips albums: Transmissions from the Satellite Heart and Clouds Taste Metallic do yourself a favor

lol, I read the title and instantly thought of this great great album! Nice job!

Okonokos - My Morning Jacket. It’s an incredible live album.

Good choice. I’ve always been more partial to At Dawn.

Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space. Ali Farke Toure and Toumani Diabate - In the Heart of the Moon Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

Yes to Ladies and Gentlemen We’re Floating In Space! Devastatingly good album. One of my top 20.

Liquid Swords - GZA

Spiritual State by Nujabes

Multi-Love by Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Heavy Metal Greasy Love by King Garbage. Hot, Wet & Sassy by Tobacco. Panic Blooms by Black Moth Super Rainbow.

Hiatus Kaiyote's entire discography

Grateful Dead - Veneta 72 Incredible Dark Star on this one. This is definitely one for the floating category.

Paul Simon *Graceland*

Love this album my mom used to play this while she made dinner almost every night lmao. Nostalgic album

Anything by Lake Street Dive, Durand Jones, or St Paul and the Broken Bones. Anything by Haitus Kayote, Ezra Collective 666 by Sugar Candy Mountain Quarters and Butterfly 3000 by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

Mezzanine by Massive Attack comes to mind

Pet Sounds

*Existential Reckoning* by Puscifer.

People Under The Stairs - O.S.T. My favorite album of all time. I really like Question in the Form of an Answer too. All their albums are great but those two are amazing. RIP Double K!

The entire Portishead discography ought to suit your needs

Of course. Nice to see the other recommendations as well. A lot of stuff I didn’t know. Sounds like you’re open to all types of music too. Enjoy your travels!

Yup definitely. Music exploration is my favorite part about music!

From the 1990s check out Land of the Loops.

But legends in New Zealand

The Dear Hunter - Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise

Relayer and close to the edge by Yes

I've been listening a lot to Junior Makhno lately. Stay of Execution is a great song if you like boombap like Jedi Mind Tricks

Costello music- The Fratellis Born to Die (deluxe version)- Lana Del Rey

Houses of the Holy, Led Zeppelin Sonic Temple, the Cult Dopethrone, Electric Wizard Let it Bleed or Exile on Main Street, The Rolling Stones Any album by Pink Floyd will give you a lot to chew on. Except Pulse unless you're a musician. Amazing performance but not an album.

CAN - Soon Over Babluma. Absolute trip!

Low End Theory/Midnight Marauders

Big Black - Songs About Fucking

De La Soul. I listened to their albums without knowing the titles so you'll have to pick them lol

Love de la soul I saw them when they opened for Nas and Wu Tang and it was so sick

I like red clay and straight life by Freddie Hubbard, sort of the beggining of jazz fusion both hold up great with time

Music has the right to children - Boards of Canada

Shri Camel by Terry Riley.

Fryslân by Joost Klein is a album that I can recommend 🙂

Deltron 3030

Floating! Kid A by Radiohead

Mildlife - Phase

Bill Withers greatest hits...mama's hands.

Give a Monkey a Brain and He'll Swear He's the Center of the Universe - Fishbone

Sound and fury by sturgill Simpsons, DO NOT SHUFFLE IT IS MADE TO BE PLAYED IN ORDER. Aside from that it's a phenomenal album If you're looking for something shorter listen to lovely things suite EP by watsky once again please don't shuffle Lastly you could check out twenty One Pilots live scaled and icy album, this one you can shuffle. The first half is just the album the second half is a collection of medleys and mismatches of their songs and honestly they're some of the best stuff that they've released in forever.

Sound and fury is an amazing pic I love sturgill Simpson so much and this album is so experimental for him and just a masterpiece fr

I recommend checking out watsky if you feel cool with experimentalist orchestrative rap
