Here's some ideas: Bob Marley, Damien Marley, Sizzla, Bounty Killer, some John Holt, (I'd say any reggae just about), Grateful Dead, Dark Star Orchestra, The Doors, White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Toll, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, The String Cheese Incident, Moe., Sublime, The Flaming Lips.
If you're looking for some all out trippy music then I'd suggest
Shpongle, Infected Mushroom, Hallucinogen, Sound Tribe Sector 9(STS9)

.....I'll try to remember more but I'm listening to Three 6 Mafia and its hard to think trippy chill music while listening to this.

Almost everything I listen to could be classified as trippy, except for stuff like blues, classical, etc.

Lets see.....

This is a treat if you haven't heard it before:

ftp://84.23.32.38/m1/KLF%20-%20Chill%20Out%20(1993) [FLACs of The KLF's Chill Out. It's a masterpiece. Chill Out - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ]

What else....

In no particular order, check out:

African Head Charge. Massive Attack. Portishead. Lee Scratch Perry. Augustus Pablo. Procul Harum. David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name. Traffic. Cream. Fila Brazilia. Funki Porcini. Kruder & Dorfmeister. Lycia.....

Oh, nevermind. I'm not going to sit here and type out my whole record collection. I've got hundreds of CDs and records, and then theres the gigs of stuff I have only in digital format. More than 70% is 'trippy.'

There's a lot of mind expanding music out there, from a lot of different genres and different generations. 60's psych/folk rock, prog rock, metal, new wave, a million different kinds of dub and reggae, a million different kinds of ambient, electronic, house, techno, hip-hop, etc. And that's just scratching the surface.

If people want to mention some of the most cherished trippy music, I might be able to suggest other stuff you'll like. That can be a fun game sometimes.

On KCRW, you probably want to listen to either Metropolis or Morning Becomes Eclectic.

These can be really good, or kinda blah. But that's part of the beauty of long running shows like these. I've been listening since I was in 7th or 8th grade.

There's a ton of great trippy stuff from UK.

Isn't BoC from.....Canada? I know that's the Commonwealth, but is it actually part of the UK?

Anyway, I could listen to ROYGBIV on repeat for a looooooong time.
YouTube - boards of canada - roygbiv [fan video--good one, too--album track]

Nightmares on Wax is great . Smokers Delight, or Carboot Soul.
YouTube - nightmares on wax - finer ["Finer," Carboot Soul]

I'd stay the fuck away from Mind Elevation, I'm not sure WTF happened there.

I like trippy stuff like Sufjan Stevens (Enjoy your rabbit), The Postal Service and Aphex Twin.

FSOL ( Future Sound of London) and The Orb- Theres nothing more trippy than The Orb.
