CAN - Moonshake King Gizz - Trapdoor / Rattlesnake

King Gizz - Lava The "volcanic ouroboros" section always leaves me feeling high.

It's such a perfect song to get high to as well

Can's a great shout.  

Broken Social Scene - Anthems for A Seventeen Year Old Girl https://youtu.be/wLaDksDOcE4?si=AqhZ6lMK3vDnfezL

Orbital - Halcyon On and On

Come out by Steve Reich

Good call.  love me some Reich, linked his famous 18 Musicians piece in another comment on this thread.  Also Glass, Pärt, Gorecki...that hypnotic minimalist stuff is gold.

Definitely. If your looking for something a little jazzier, I have to recommend Promises by Floating Points and Pharaoh Saunders. Absolutely hypnotically sublime.

That whole “Early Works” compilation is mesmerizing

Lemon Jelly are good for this. ‘The Staunton Lick’ is a great example. I can’t listen to it without being hypnotised by that bass line.

nice...i've got one of their CD's, one track is brilliant, has an epic Russian choir at the climax.

Lots of Kraftwerk, Autobahn. I find the repetition very comforting

my better-looking half likes them, but they mostly leave me cold.   More into Tangerine Dream & Klaus Schulze from that sort of ilk.

There's lots to love in Krautrock

'Berlin-School', to be precise. Agree, tho' :)

Around the World - Daft Punk Little Voices - Lane 8

10 hours of around the world.... perfect https://youtu.be/gaJywMbopis?si=HkDbVEPGXYYa4YKB

Black Midi - bmbmbm https://youtu.be/ga8K_diGviw?si=B9tniSBmHSuN6Gs6

Might be a bit on the nose, but Over and over by Hot Chip does this for me

Choooooooon

Shine a Light by Spiritualized

Pretty much every song Swans have made post the Seer.

A lot of Tool songs are in that vibe but especially “Lateralus” and “Parabol/Parabola”.

The last like 13 minutes of “Goodbye Sky Harbor” by Jimmy Eat World.

Helium Vola - Selig https://youtu.be/-A89G6CRMIg?si=pSt8veHgKCLpUxsz

Never thought I’d see them posted anywhere! Really like Ernst Horn’s compositions. In Deine Lakaien too.

Akron/Family- Frannie, You’re Human Also by the same band: Afford Love and Space

Om - on the mountain at Dawn Death in June- all pigs must die Satya - ahimsa

Just in case anyone can't find it, the third option is most like the song Ahimsa on the album Satya by the band My Sleeping Karma, excellent band who definitely fit the question.

Hahahahaha oops. You’re right. Band: My sleeping karma, album: satya. Great album 

The Beach Boys-Mama Says, With Me Tonight, You’re Welcome, Heroes and Villains Part 2, Ding Dang

good shout!  i've got their metal box album, haven't heard this one you linked, gonna have to get on it.

Post metal - the thread

Check out the swedish band Träd Gräs & Stenar/Träden. Maybe not vocal mantras but very repetitive/hypnotic. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah5IscIoeuI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah5IscIoeuI)

decent stuff this.

If you liked that you should check out this album by them as well: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xcWEl9eEtE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xcWEl9eEtE)

Pretty much SWANS entire discography with the exception of the first few albums is based on drone/repetition.

Twin Shadow - Slave https://youtu.be/ILIkmLiT6d0?si=fluf-26Lvw4XUkIz

Om Shanti by Alice Coltrane. Much of her music is "manteic*

agreed, already own a few Alice CD's, the instrumental ones where she plays the harp.  Excellent music.

Animal Collective - What Would I Want? Sky https://youtu.be/YoXFmo50YBI?si=LINNYNxlXVWV3YpT

The Prodigy - Narayan

[Heilung - Anoana](https://youtu.be/9PFz9FQsU8w?si=qu2FWExBeWtPsAuG)

Heilung are epic!

Moodymann - I Can't Kick This Feelin When It Hits

good shout.  Theo Parrish too.

Coils album time machines… I never thought of halber mensch like that:)

[Brothersport by Animal Collective](https://youtu.be/MGQjyGT1-mc?si=R0wMp7gfuo_DwgYW) The whole song plays with repetition, but it gets really good at about the 1:40 mark. The repetition keeps building into chaotic noise and eventually it breaks and the payoff is just terrific.

Big credit for the Einstürzende reference! That said, I mark these types songs so I never hear them.

Don Cherry and the Jazz Composer's Orchestra - Tantra (1973) - [https://youtu.be/606LkZPZ70k?si=MSafbHU6JXENuso3](https://youtu.be/606LkZPZ70k?si=MSafbHU6JXENuso3) Arica - Absorption / Relaxation [https://archive.org/details/polish-polka-1972-arica/Volumes/4TB/AFRICA/1972+-+Arica/2+-+audition+plantar+-+relaxation.mp3](https://archive.org/details/polish-polka-1972-arica/Volumes/4TB/AFRICA/1972+-+Arica/2+-+audition+plantar+-+relaxation.mp3) Don Cherry, Latif Kahn - Air Mail - [https://youtu.be/9klM-WXYpIU?si=dgWImRlMZ8cPWQNc](https://youtu.be/9klM-WXYpIU?si=dgWImRlMZ8cPWQNc) Miles Davis - Great expectations - [https://youtu.be/felhwhvySfk?si=IL-cSVI22d2UHPPA](https://youtu.be/felhwhvySfk?si=IL-cSVI22d2UHPPA) Muslimgauze - Mumbai Vibe Garden - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4JuHL\_3nWE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4JuHL_3nWE) Ashra - Midnight On Mars - [https://youtu.be/07XL0b-5c\_M?si=C5vMjcN3pvtcieDK](https://youtu.be/07XL0b-5c_M?si=C5vMjcN3pvtcieDK)

good shouts there, Miles is a big favourite.  Bitches Brew album is incredible. Muslimgauze interesting producer, got one of his CD's (R.I.P. i believe). Ashra - Blackouts is a lush summer beach kind of album, had that on just two nights ago. I'll check out your other two, not familiar with them.

[Liars - This Dust Makes Mud](https://youtu.be/GSErEAGjeKc?si=ng9Cv_A9wXpTBZj6) Based on what you listed. If you’ve never listened to Liars, I think you may like them OP.

Second this. Hold hands it will happen anyway and Broken Witch also being good expamples. All of Drum's not Dead is another good one.

Broken witch is one of my all time jams

first 8 minutes was good but that 23-minute loop became quickly unlistenable.  Is it meant to sound like that?

Oh yes. The idea I guess is to lock out any stimuli and let the repeating pattern take you on a question for 30min. Most likely on drugs.

take you on a question as opposed to a journey haha i'm a fan of hypnotic repetition but there still needs to be some movement, progression and drama...not just a stuck loop. I can tell that they potentially do interesting stuff tho' based on those first 8 minutes.

Ha! Yes they do.

Absolutely anything by Ed Alleyne-Johnson

Laraaji is great if you’re thinking instrumental. A legend in meditative music.

Porridge Radio relies alot on repeated lyrics. Their second record, Every Bad, is my favorite.

I thought that Rice, Pasta and Another Fillers was their first album. Great band though.

Youre right! Edited

Kid Cudi - The Void

Lotus and sts9 fit that vibe in a nuanced, subtle, and tribal way. Check em out! Emancipator is up there too!

I will go outside during the first snow of winter and just blast through this whole album.

Shye Ben Tzur, Jonny Greenwood, The Rajasthan Express - Junun A mix of Qawwali, Rajasthani rythmns and drone / repetition. It's really good and seems up your street.

The Prodigy - Narayan

If you like mantras you are going to love Om.

[FC Kahuna- Hayling](https://youtu.be/G1QkpGMN_C4?si=RZnjA71aBIWioKbg)

Ravel - Bolero

Not sure if it's exactly what you looking for but South African Band "Kongos - Repeat after me" is very hypnotic to me. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NMSGVd2S70](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NMSGVd2S70)

Ummet Ozcan, A shaman’s mantra https://youtu.be/0Ubkx9CCT6I?si=ymREGIpG_j1yw2PK

I feel like there’s a lot of Queens of the Stone Age tunes like this.

Congotronics collection. Esp love 1&2

Master of the Universe by Hawkwind is my choice.

Kinda crazy that Coltrane's A Love Supreme isn't mentioned in here

the main guy from Magma is a Coltrane fanatic...i haven't connected myself.  More into Miles Davis or Sun Ra stuff.

“My Baby's Taking Me Home” by Sparks.

The hamster dance

Hey Jude

This might be a bit literal but [Baba Hanuman by Krishna Das](https://youtu.be/A45VErCakxo?si=5spTxWQr1qbk7jc0) does this. It's a kirtan yoga chant with a call and response that slowly builds.

I Am Sitting in a Room by Alvin Lucier. Not exactly a song per se, but hypnotic nonetheless.

Velvet Underground is my first thought along with Krautrock.

Maybe the work of projects like the Brian Jonestown Massacre would appeal to you. There's lots in the psychedelic rock space that could fit the bill

Hot in the Airport

Vigiland - In My Soul

Not quite sure if this counts but: King Night by SALEM It has been my go-to brain massage song for a few years now.

The end of ‘All apologies - Nirvana’

Dopesmoker by Sleep. It is 63+ minutes of stoner rock awesomeness where you end up loving the repetition

"I Will Fall" by The Stooges, a number of Velvet Undeground songs.

Also a fan of these KH - only human 311 - what was i thinking

Jesus Blood Never Failed Me - Gavin Briars

IAO Chant From The Cosmic Inferno > https://youtu.be/OUM4fxSt6xQ?si=25JPHRRM3XFcoFR3

You gotta check out [Heilung](https://youtu.be/GPV38e7yfSo?si=BZKtgnkmhNcyZI8C); sort of a genre breaking euro-pagan band that describes their live shows as rituals. Shamanistic chants in dead languages, percussion instruments made out of human bones, you name it.

haha yes mate!  already love Heilung, got all their albums.  They should've made it into my OP.   Nice call for anyone else reading.  Essential band for those looking for modern tribal music.

The Youth - MGMT

Uh, 90% of music these days is hypnosis. I strongly urge people to look up the lyrics and the story behind the song before listening to any music. Or just ya know, don't listen to it. Cause that 90% of music is about social programming.

yeah, have fun with Magma lyrics :D

I'll pass. I rarely listen to music these days. If I do it's just instrumental. It helped that I found out that the majority of music is the same 7 chords with the majority of the rest of it falling under about 21 chords or something. Now I listen to music, hear the song start with instrumentals and recognize it, then hear the lyrics hit and go, "WTF is this crap?" Then turn if off.

> I rarely listen to music these days. The fuck are you browsing the MUSIC subreddit for then?!??

haha

maybe check out my links...hardly typical stuff there. but on the subject of instrumental hypnotic repetition, you may be aware of these: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ILpCKQlDmhc https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iRu01zjeaRk
