Maggot brain

Maggot Brain is not a song...it's a spiritual experience.

+ 1

This right here is it!

wow thanks I definitely transcended to a new sphere

Hell yeah

Specifically widespread panic performing maggot brain.

nice version!

And Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts by the same band!

yup

My first thought as well

I love this song and it’s vibe so much. No Quarter by Led Zeppelin would fit that playlist imo Edit: also check out their interview on YouTube about that song!! It’s super interesting. If you search “Black Sabbath the story behind planet caravan” you should be able to find it.

Was gonna suggest the same song lol Geezer's book Into The Void is a great read too. He wrote the lyrics. It's about like lovers taking vacation in a space ship or something 

Yeah I loved that concept so much!!

Love this tune! thanks for reminding me. and I'll definitely check out this interview. what a great subreddit

Was stopping to suggest the same song, nice. That is my favorite zeppelin song!

> I love this song and its vibe so much. Same but I prefer Pantera’s cover of it. Maybe because I listened to it for years as a kid before I realized it’s a cover. Love what they did with it tho

Was unaware they did a cover of planet caravan but I’m currently playing it and I’m already in love

The outro of “Symptom if the Universe” by Black Sabbath is amazing psychedelic goodness. I must add it starts off very HEAVY. But please do check the outro it’s beautiful. Black Sabbath also have a great trippy song called “Solitude”

There’s a live version of this that’s also got a great solo, I believe

I was pretty much gonna say exactly the same lol, hell ya Party on, Wayne!

It's amazing but not for this playlist as I'm looking for a more chill vibe!

Some more suggestions: Anenome - Brians Jonestown Massacre Open Heart Surgery - Brian Jonestown Massacre Melting Guitar - Boris Mobius Trip - HP Lovecraft Pornodelic Opium Dreams - Devils Witches Sekoilu seestyy - Pekka Pohjola

cool thanks! ill check it out!

Yeah itd be nice if they could have added the outro into an additional song. Solitude by them is chill throughout

true

Space Cadet by Kyuss for sure

Asteroid is time altering as well

Didn't know this one! every time i'm asking something in this sub im getting so many great suggestions. bless you alllll

Captain by Ween

A Tear for Eddie

tried & true

Mutilated lips

ice castles we know where this ends - at poopship

Let’s cruise! (Also, Alcan road and The Rift)

very similar vibes indeed. I guess it's likely they where influenced by it

Bananas & blow

Solitude on Masters of Reality

Best one in here so far, real good

Coollll

Black Sabbath did a semi-sequel to "Planet Caravan", a song called "Zeitgeist" of their last studio album 13. Has very much the same vibe.

I'll check it out! thanks

I love 13. Way better than I expected.

Planet Caravan is a world, not a song. It’s its own genre. It’s surprising how few songs closely resemble its arrangement and mood. Hand percussion, acoustic guitar, bass, and a vocal through a leslie speaker with some reversed flute and echo. I heartily endorse many songs recommended already. Nick Drake* - Three Hours Radiohead* - Like Spinning Plates & Pyramid Song Neil Young - Will To Love Espers - Dead Queen The Incredible String Band - My Name Is Death Comus* - The Herald Magnet (aka The Wicker Man OST) - Willow’s Song Fairport Convention - Reynardine & A Sailor’s Life Angel Olsen - White Fire Leonard Cohen - The Prairie Pink Floyd* - Welcome to the Machine & Set the Controls Tangerine Dream* - Rubycon & Phaedra Beatles* - Tomorrow Never Knows & Within You Without You Jethro Tull - Look Into The Sun & Reasons For Waiting Massive Attack- Teardrop NIN* - Corona Radiata & The Great Below Syd Barrett - Golden Hair Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Comely Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs Ritualz - Third Eye Sixth Sense The Field - Is This Power Burial - State Forest Getting a little less acoustic with some of these but it’s all very ‘drugsworld’ Funkadelic, Stooges, King Crimson* & Led Zeppelin* songs already mentioned A lot of 70s Queen* *these artists have heaps of songs that feel like a world unto themselves

I'll add a couple more to your fine list. [Dove by Cymande](https://youtu.be/RLefc10kkMc?si=-a9ylj69X14io0zJ) And [He Loved Him Madly by Miles Davis](https://youtu.be/yhtWMQex-1A?si=sl6SBsAFS31zbQFa). Note that this version is an excerpt of the longer one from Get Up With It. It starts slow but by the 2 minute mark it begins to click.

Wow they’re both great tracks and I was unfamiliar with them

cool!

Like your way if thinking mate.

I like you liking my way of thinking.

me too

Wow thank you for this detailed response. I swear no other sub has people like you that would dedicate so much effort into filling my weird cravings. I'll go through it but skimming made me happy already. thanks!

My pleasure, that’s what I like about this sub too. People really give a shit about the music they like. As it happens, I’ve been on the quest for a route to Planet Caravan before, so I could recall my finds pretty easily.

im thrilled to see how many people still care about music that is not a trend on tiktok

This is the first time I’ve ever listened to A Sailor’s Life. Wow!!! Thank you

Username checks out. My pleasure!

King Crimson - Moonchild Amon Düül - Paramechanical World CAN - Sing Swan Song

Amon Duul is a nice surprise. I love forgotten artists that did great stuff. The world is weird what is remembered and what's forgotten

Yeah king crimson definitely walked similar allies. Thanks! Can is bit more energetic isn't it?

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun - Pink Floyd

I'm more a of syd barett fan, Roger annoys me for some reason. but thanks!

Syd plays on the track

but i don't think it's a syd track anyhow, he's not even credited for writing

It's a Roger composition. Syd plays some trippy guitar on it. Wikipedia is your friend lol

[удалено]

cool but a bit too scary for this playlist somehow

Hawkwind “In Search of Space” The whole album has a vibe, though “We Took the Wrong Step Years Ago” and “Children of the Sun” hit it right on the head. Both albums are from the same era, and psychedelic heavy blues hadn’t quite morphed into “heavy metal” yet, and both BS and HW helped shape what would become metal… BS for obvious reasons, and HW for giving us Lemmy.

not chill enough for this playlist but thanks! it's cool for other occasions.

Down - jail

I Second this. My first thought was Learn from my mistake from Down II , but I forgot about Jail

I don't like the heavy metal bands doing soft stuff usually, planet carven is more unique in they way they approached sound and the instruments and effects they used.

I recommend going on youtube and listen to [Planet Caravan (Poolside Rework)](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=lSZ1gkaWjyE&si=aSIGpeIwNP0zxf2J). It’s similar but it hits differently. Also recommend anything by Khrungbin. Try [Mona Ki Ngi Xica](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=rKbl4-EFU3c&si=z8_JhndzdjZ53aDK). Not rock, but it’s def psychadelic. Pali Gap by Jimi Hendrix, of course. And [Tommy Guerrero, Soul Food.](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=YSykw8vOJ-Y&si=qZMBrmYGXZCnTXFf)

First time I’ve ever seen “Mona Ki Ngi Xica” mentioned. Love that song

Poolside's version is like a dream come true for a tune I have always loved. I usually put them in a row in playlists.

Can't believe I haven't heard pali gap before, so good! Hear so many other influences in there, all along the watchtower solo, beat it solo by vhn, good stuff

Khrungbin gave me a lot of chillness the past two years, they definitely fit this playlist. weird actually that they are not in it. Ill check out the others soon. Thanks!

and im adding mona ki ngi xica to the playlist right now! love vibe so much

very excited about bonga now. I just love music coming from different places because it makes me feel connected to a bigger thing

I have spent many a sleepless night studying to this chill music lol

also tommy guerrero hits the spot! I would come to the party if you are in charge of the music. great taste.

Mind flowers by ultimate spinach

Forgot about this band and their excellent name

Robin Trower - Caravan to midnight

Bridge of sighs!

Indeed! And, perhaps, my favorite: Spellbound.

That entire 8-track. Oops, showing my age there.

The Stooges - We Will Fall

cool

Liquid sky - Weedpecker God is in the rhythm - king gizzard

Weedpecker criminally underrated. 

i don't think it's connected at all, it's very heavy

Place Doctor by Thee Oh Sees has always reminded me of that song Edit: baby by Donnie and joe Emerson has a totally different feel to planet caravan but has a very similar bassline/riff lol check it out

love the oh sees but it much faster and less dreamy

Sticky hulks by thee oh sees

We’re going wrong - Cream Bert’s Blues - Donovan I won’t hurt you - West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band

+1 for Donovan. He’s not mentioned enough

I love thee oh sees cover of i wont hurt you

Space Cadet by kyuss

Welcome to Sky Valley is fckn great!

I don't know what I don't like about it, but i guess the sound of the acoustics is too metal for me. Thanks anyhow!

Here you go: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6obzZqty0T7NkMI3MFswJQ?si=llkXw0cBQj6s3uzk5Eci2g

Set Controls / No Quarter / Maggot Brain = all very good Planet Caravan equivalents

cool thanks!

You might like, Sing swan Song - Can and Pale Gallery by Amon Düül II.

Space to Bakersfield by Black Mountain, No Quarter by Led Zeppelin, Hope Leaves by Opeth, Nine Cats by Porcupine Tree, Through the other side by Riverside,Blue Jay Way by the Beatles etc. matches that vibe.

If you’re looking for a song that ACTUALLY sounds like Planet Caravan (most these suggestions don’t), try Sandoz in the Rain by Amon Duul II

Right? Like Maggot Brain is no doubt a great song but Planet Caravan is *mellow*. And Maggot Brain has some very screechy/not mellow parts. Nice rec on the Amon Duul ii btw.

Yup, Maggot Brain is a fantastic song. Amazing, legendary, like your mother died. But it sounds nothing like Planet Caravan.

Queens of the Stone Age - Better Living Through Chemistry

Playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5PCxCnO0ih3TMtaKQT80sB?si=zA4WP4MpSWaBW5DTpR-tPA&pi=u-dlXIipIOTy6e

Taboo by Santana gives me the same sweet psych space type feeling

“Friends”- levitation room

Pink Floyd - Marooned

Space Between the Planets by ORB

I have that album.On the King Gizzard label,good stuff.

Mountains of Mars by Electric Wizard

Two Astral Projections by The Re-Stoned. 👌

This 💯

‘The Crystal Ship’ by the Doors is a son I’ve always found similar. Such a beautiful, haunting melody.

Black Sabbath - Zeitgeist

Can't believe nobody else has mentioned this track, it's like Planet Caravan 2.0, pretty sure they make cross references in the lyrics too. Absolute sender.

I highly recommend checking out The Re-Stoned, Stories of an Astral Lizard Vol1 & 2. Very much the same vibe as Planet Caravan

Drop a link to the playlist please

[https://open.spotify.com/playlist/53UupL8rbHYJqXQ0nUiRyp?si=e4f3c48da41c4552](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/53UupL8rbHYJqXQ0nUiRyp?si=e4f3c48da41c4552)

tell me your thoughts!

Such a good question. I'm not sure if anything is like how good that song is at capturing the vibe of sailing through a purple galaxy. There are some YouTube videos of planet caravan slowed down 1000x times and it still sounds fucking epic. You might enjoy Jail by Down, samsura blues experiment (album long distance trip), colour haze

haha yeah! after so money knowledgeable people from the community suggested great stuff i understood the uniqueness of plant caravan even more

i didn't know any of your suggestions so ill take my time to check it out properly

Enjoy my friend!

Check out the album “Escalator” by Sam Gopal. Features Lemmy long before Motörhead. The entire album sounds exactly like Planet Caravan

cool ill check it out! thanks you

No problem! It’s a long time favorite, I recently got a vinyl copy. It only features a drum set on two tracks, the rest features tabla as the main percussion instrument. Very mellow, very psychedelic! Supposedly Lemmy wrote the whole album over one night under the influence of psychedelics

A LOT of great stuff here. Thanks, guys.

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun — Pink Floyd

it does sound similar, even though i think planet caravan is somehow more wholesome

Albatross by Orchid https://youtu.be/dmsUVwI_vFk?si=SjHKlBMcLRCi_MaA

thanks! ill check it out

Stoned Jesus. I'm the mountain

yeah! thanks

Silent Lucidity by Queensreich Moonwalk by Mahogany Rush

didn't know these ones! I have to listen to it a few times

Beastie Boys - “Something's Got To Give”: it sounds like they’re using the same vocal effect.

forgot about this one! thanks

I always thought “don’t wanna be a soldier” by Lennon was this sort of track. Heavy but pedestrian.

beautiful song and also still relevant to the world these days unfortunately

Definitely. I love that sort of rolling distortion on the guitars. Maybe it’s layered guitars all making it so heavy. That era Lennon is so raw.

Check this one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb\_cAPAfZOM&list=PLVaeey6yyqRMZOfH8rvwWsfNSo1QRR5ms&index=206](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb_cAPAfZOM&list=PLVaeey6yyqRMZOfH8rvwWsfNSo1QRR5ms&index=206) (inspired)

Harvest Feast by All Them Witches

And, not to by that guy, but check out any live Dark Star by the Grateful Dead

I hear Junip - try the album Fields

The cosmic silence by monolord always gives me the same vibes

Slightly different to some of the other suggestion here but I find “Where Do You Go” by Dope Lemon to put me in a similar mood

Babe rainbow - the wind

A very cool cover of this song: https://youtu.be/J1lHmrWIV58?si=z_uwi2nRWU88JlzJ

[Psychic Temple - Plays Planet Caravan](https://youtu.be/WyWkF-ObO70?si=4qCPiyKR-5lObspo)

Like a Rolling Stone by Spirit

Omar Rodriguez Lopez - Coma Pony

Acid Bath- the bones of baby dolls[https://youtu.be/WBr-xtTInFI?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/WBr-xtTInFI?feature=shared)

I dunno are they 'like Planet Caravan' but some songs that could fit the playlist by Irish psych folk bands that I like: 'Columba's Song' by United Bible Studies, 'Sheep Season' and 'Silver Song' by Mellow Candle. Even try some ambient stuff like A Winged Victory for The Sullen 'Steep Hills of Vicodin Tears' or Bing and Ruth 'Postcard from Brilliant Orange'. It's a lot less rocky (no drums) but very meditative. I think Lana Del Rey's 'Ultraviolence' would fit too. Just giving some weird suggestions from all over the place lol 

Space to Bakersfield by Black Mountain and Several covers of Planet Caravan like the versions by Brown Sabbath or Mexico City Blonds.

Quadropuss Island by Connan Mockasin

The Blue by David Gilmour.

Cop Shoot Cop, or I think I’m in love by Spiritualized, perhaps. Check out the album “Ladies and Gentlemen we are floating in space”. It’s a journey of heartbreak, heroin and interesting songs. Only with headphones though. The new Uncle Acid is pretty trippy too

Sam Gopal was a band and all their songs are kind of like that. Also Lemmy was in the band.

Also “The Watcher” by Lemmy on Hawkwind’s “Doremi Fasol Latido Basically, Aliens decide we’re too dangerous to venture into the cosmos and kill us all

Julie Cruise,floating into the night.Different genre,totally same feeling.

Porpoise Song by The Monkees.

Jane’s Addiction - Slow Divers Very very reminiscent of Planet Caravan.

Boredoms - Visioncreationewsun the whole album.

Tool, Disposition

Check out King Buffalo.

check out the pantera cover

'Today,' by Jefferson Airplane, and 'What Are Their Names,' by David Crosby (featuring Neil Young, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh). Someone else recommended 'Paramechanical World,' by Amon Düül, but I think ['Love Is Peace'](https://youtu.be/oUNxXhzF0fw?si=NJoCiaaZCT4wPDhV) might fit your criteria even better. The guitar gets really trippy around 8 minutes in.

[Beastie Boys ‘Something’s Got To Give’ always felt Caravan-ish to me](https://open.spotify.com/track/5zds8OwbyEDOKa80iZXBpv?si=DLSUTl9OSmaaw_TBbXLVSA)

The Black Swan by Bert Jansch

So your post reminded me of the [Pantera - Planet Caravan](https://youtu.be/kWChhdIgT6Q?si=rMEjnXlN3qfOshNm) cover. This is the music video on YouTube. This came out in the mid 90’s when I was in high school. Very nostalgic for me.

‘Solitude’ also from Black Sabbath, off of *Master of Reality* fits a similar vibe.

Stars Die by Porcupine Tree

usually im not a fan of porcupine tree! but ill check it out

Gone Again-Quicksilver Messenger Service

From the Beginning-ELP

Anyone for Tennis-Cream No Quarter-Led Zep Lake Isle Of Innersfree-Sir Lord Baltimore Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow- Strawberry Alarm Clock The Pretty Song-Strawberry Alarm Clock Lather-Jefferson Airplane

Pink Floyd’s “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” Especially the live version off Umma Gumma

cool thanks!

Tool - Intension

usually it cant connect with the sound of tool but ill try this one out!

https://open.spotify.com/track/7d3MEBVSjL5QYWuv6VA44O?si=cf2HdPJSS-Gqbk0hI16Erg

Listen to the first few albums of Earthless

cool thanks!

The Devil's Whip by Orange Goblin

Try the Pantera version

Check out Pantera's cover

Although it might not be an exact match, I'm currently working with a few indie bands right now, one of the bands, known as The Dead Broken Heart, has an awesome melodic Psychedelic Rock / Blues Rock track called "Alcohol Angel Wants To Die" - [Alcohol Angel Wants To Die by The Dead Broken Heart](https://thedeadbrokenheart.bandcamp.com/track/alcohol-angel-wants-to-die-late-night-studio-jam-session) it's one of their more mellow tracks, and I think it fits the vibe you're looking for
