This reminds me of Can's Tago Mago, which it sounds like you probably have heard? It's a real trip on acid. I never really got the second, dark, half until I listened to it on acid, and now I enjoy it. I really like the final track, which is like finally landing, drinking tea with trembling hands.
Listened to the album for the first time due to your post. Amazing!
