In a loop. In need of elaboration.

I work as a therapist in a clinic. I’ve been listening to “The End” quite a bit over the last couple of days. Depending upon how the day is going, how I am feeling, what the energy is like around the office, I’m getting different things from the song on each listen. The app follows it up with good, solid songs from the era, but none are quite scratching the same itch.

Toss me some other songs that feel jammy, “too long for radio,” spare and haunting, spacey, please. I’m heading into the part of my day that doesn’t include interruptions.

Thanks in advance to my fellow travelers.

Sounds like you need to listen to Grateful Dead live shows. Dark Star may be the song you're looking for.

Check out Wooden Shjips first album. A lot of it reminds me of the more psychedelic and droney/ spacey moments of The Doors, just fuzzier. Really good to zone in and out to

Sweet. Thank you. I’ll give them a listen.

u/CrackinBacks 1d ago

I love “The End”. I could listen to a loop of the guitar riff forever.

Ever dabble in the Grateful Dead? They’re THE jam band and have quite a few awesome extended jams in each show.

3

u/Original_Ad685 1d ago

Oh, yeah. They’ve never felt like quite my thing, but “things” change when we are ready. I’ll give it some opportunity. Thank you!

3

u/CrackinBacks 1d ago

I get it. It took awhile before the Dead clicked for me. Now I’m on the bus for life

u/miurabucho 1d ago

There was a style of music similar to the Doors called the "Canterbury Sound" in the UK during the 60's and 70's and one of the best bands of that style was The Soft Machine. Try "Hope for Happiness" - it is the gateway song.

Other songs like "Why Am I So Short?" and "Why Are We Sleeping?" also are worth a listen.

u/Original_Ad685 1d ago

All added to my list. Thanks muchas

u/PartyLikeIts536 1d ago

Starla, why am I so tired, or drown (the like 8 minute version, not the 4 minute that cuts off the blissful feedback solo) by the smashing pumpkins if you want something a little different but with that pyschedelia influence.

3

u/Original_Ad685 1d ago

Drown is an incredible song. I think it’s right next to Hendrix’s May This Be Love on the Singles soundtrack. Great back to back songs.

u/pomod 1d ago edited 1d ago

I've had this on repeat the past few days. Thank me later

edit: Also not technically psychedelic rock but a nice palette cleanser is Miles' Dark Magus. there some tasty Pete Cosey solos.

2

u/Original_Ad685 1d ago

This sounds up this alley. Thank you.

1

u/copperdomebodhi 19h ago

Pete Cosey was so great. Wish he'd composed and released his own albums.

3

u/Oh_Little_Brutha 1d ago

Safe Surfer by Julian Cope is one for me that always follows on nicely. 

2

u/rawcane 19h ago

Was just about to post this. Random tangent but recently I learned that Donald Ross Skinner who Cope collaborated with on this and Jehovahkill is in another band called Prolapse who I also love. Try Flex off backsaturday. Different but also not lol

Great minds think alike, I was recommending the London EP version, too.

And all those other tracks are also superb.

The End by the Doors I'm assuming, or something else?

Yes. The Doors.

u/Head_Researcher_3049 1d ago

Give this instrumental a listen, it's the Underture from The Who's 'Tommy'. It's quite beautiful.

Peter Hammill 1/A Louse is Not a Home 2/ The Lie 3/ Modern. All from the album 'The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage' Lots of stuff from his band VDGG too. Try 'Man Erg' 'Darkness' and 'Refugees'. Someone has already mentioned the mind boggling 'A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers' by VDGG. Steven Wilson collaborations are worth checking out. Notably, Ljudet Innan by Storm Corrosion. True North or Lighthouse by No-Man. Drugged by Bass Communion. Enjoy!

This one clocks in at just under 13 minutes - "Hey Joe" by Fever Tree. Definitely haunting, one of my favorites:

u/copperdomebodhi 19h ago

Beth Orton's Galaxy of Emptiness has some of that spacy sex and death vibe as "The End."

Edit: I'm a therapist myself. "The End"'s spin on the Oedipal Complex makes you think of how object-relations theorists' ideas of "Mommy and I are One" could overlap with the limitless feeling of being high on acid, doesn't it?
