What are the most mindblowingly creative, inventive, or otherwise otherworldly albums you know of? (self.asklemmy)

One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?

Bear with me: Beiguan music.

It's traditional Chinese music with tinny horns, drums and symbols. Close your eyes and imagine a temple procession slowly and loudly passing by, puppets, costumes, dancers, musicians, firecrackers, the smell of street food and general din of human enjoyment.

If you want something less chaotic, a gamelan orchestra is like rain decided to hold a soiree.

And then when you're ready to feel the waves break over your soul, it's time for Taiko drumming.
