Artist Name: Hoopy Frood
Genre: Psychedelic Pop Rock
Song name: Journey
Description:

Small cubes of solid shiny metal dancing, with a 2D layer of a colorful water stream of reds and yellows. Then, if you look at it from above: Frequent explosions of the (now 3D) water stream into a haze, hovering above the dancing metal objects, stired by a string like object.
 
On psychedelic's, when i hear music i always see it as some sort of energy field that surrounds me. It also very often feels kind of like a warm blanket.
The nature of this energy field depends much on the music. But it's hard to describe it in terms of shapes or colours.

For me, on mescaline or chaliponga, the sense of touch also blends in with the other senses and sights or sounds become soft, spikey, hairy or it feels like the wind, etc.

To me this is something very typical for mescaline and chaliponga, i don't know if other people also have this, but mescaline and chali ALWAYS do this to me.
 
Ott - Mir

The album starts with a launch into space and a gigantic expanding, planet-like object. The rest of the album takes place inside it. First, we are shown thin, goldplated jewlery, before we descend into some sort of a swiss-cheese-bunker filled with golden objects. But this very sophisticated aesthetic changes during the album. The middle is dominated by perly whites, we visit the heavens and recieve a magic half silve-half-gold body wrap. We take a look at candy cream machines at work and the underworld. This is were it starts to get nauseating. Candy colored translucent silk drapery, a visit at a puppet home with lots of strangely colored marsipan – very artifical.

Overall very impressed by the space created. Nothing like Blumenkraft in terms of picture building.
 
Omar Rodriguez Lopez - Sensory Decay II
From the album A manual dexterity: Soundtrack Volume 1

Sounds like you are in an egg force field on another planet, and you are surrounded by malicious aliens who are trying to break your egg force field...

Also, jungle textures rain from a 4-HO signal ;]

Trance music = imagination mandala cymatica
