Electric Octopus "Driving Under The Influence Of Jams" (New Full Album) 2017 (Psychedelic Rock) 

Over 770 raving comments for 4 hours of no lyric, freeform, acid washed jamming. My faith in humanity is restored.

Pffff, if you really think that i'm going to listen to 4 hours of *this,* then you're absolutely correct.

That feeling when you've always said to yourself, "I wish my favorite jamband / psych rock band would stop recording traditional albums and just release their jam sessions as albums," and now you've found exactly what you're looking for.

49,083 views and only 61 comments. Peeps too stoned to write.

This is one of the best albums to put on when its past midnight but you and the homies deep conversation got another 3 hours and you just sparked a joint because life is good

Relaxes my 65 yr old jangled nerves.

Got to love how once in awhile RU-vid recommends something very random and it's exactly what I didn't know I needed.

My 6 year old daughter came up with a visual while listening to this... "I see an Octopus playing 4 instruments, keyboard, drums, guitar and bass... The head of the octopus has lightning effects within and its tentacles are see through but flash bright colours, all the colours of the rainbow and in time with the music! " Love that. Love this music so damn much. Love the fact its instrumental allows personalised visuals and feels... Yet the music beautifully teases, guides and takes you... Such a fresh breath of air yet music like they used to make it! Frickin groovy and transcending... From me and my daughter, thank you ❤️

4 hours?? ain't got time for that. *3h53m later* wait what

This randomly started playing on autoplay as I'm at work. I didn't really notice til I had to ask myself why I was dancing in my desk chair 💃 Hell yeah! This is legit!

thank you bong druid of mammoth weed mountain

I'm gonna call it. This is the best 4 hour long album ever.

I don't care what anyone says... these jams saved my soul today ;)

It's like when I was in college in the early 80's & lived communally in an old house with a bunch of hippies trying to be a Grateful Dead cover band. I'd be upstairs studying while they rehearsed in the living room. I'd be like "Hey guys, can you stop trying to learn "Eyes of the World" over & over, & just go back to those Kickass freeform jams that go on for hours?" "Maaaannnnn, we can't earn any Cocaine money if we don't learn any songs. The frat boys will throw drinks in our face if we don't play songs!"

this just saved my acid trip

Why is RU-vid the best place to find new music. This is good shit

this album has literally saved my life

When I saw this authentic looking hippie/psychedelic era photography, I clicked because I could tell that this album could be great. TBH, I have never heard of Electric Octopus, but it's a cool name. Cephalopod rock. It's been a very long time since I listened to an LP this long that was effortlessly enjoyable. Thank you for uploading this great piece of experimental music. I'm having a very hard time experiencing a sense of community at a time when hostility and prejudice seems to be the unofficial rules of engagement. Sad. But there's always music. ❤️🎼🎸

how music should be, fresh, new, evolving, and above all , free. magic of the moment!

Coming from someone who primarily doesn't listen to this type of music often, this is a VIBE

Ironically, this is great music to put while working for the Man

The perfect soundtrack for when I close my eyes and remember childhood summers spent at Grandpa and Grandmas' place .......

That's what I needed for my long work sessions! Specially useful when I'm reading because bands with singers create interferences in my ADHD brain. Thanks for existing.

These dudes rock. That jam band sound hasn't faded yet.

I work as an analyst, and this has literally carried my focus this afternoon. Thanks so much for this beautiful music. (Fighting the good fight on the inside.)

GOD BLESS THESE GENTLEMEN!

super awesome to get a lot of office work done during this covid... Electric Octopus is a true gem found during this covid lockdown. Peace and Lots of Love from Mumbai, India.

I have known the jam for a couple of years already and could not listen to it for a whole year because I chose it as music during bringing home my old cat eternally...good to be able to enjoy it again.

Preaching the ways of the Mighty Electric Octopus to anyone I deem enlightened enough to deserve this!

man, 5 years have gone by since I first heard this and as time has passed I appreciate it more and more, wish I could jam with these guys, you know?

You guys are so amazingly talented. I can hear Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green practically everyone who’s ever played amazing guitar and you guys bring every bit of it together. That’s crazy. Awesome bravo congratulations on being such a great contributor of wonderful music. We desperately need it. Deep respect much love and many blessings. Namaste.’ & Ahimsa .

Best album ever for a psychedelic trip

You know its a good album when you look down and realize youve been listening to one video 3 hours already

INCREDIBLY UTTER NONSENSE! Good job, sirs!

2 hrs of work done, listening to this, wow

Had stressful periods of studying, work and personal growth in the last 7 years and have finally come to a crossroad where I feel immensely well after some harsh days. Not to get into details, I have my stuff sorted out and can have some days off where I feel like so much is off my chest which is unbelievable as I never thought this would happen any time soon. Well enough I will photograph this band on Friday and see them play in Innsbruck. I can only say that they are at the pinnacle of this development I have had as I feel fine on the couch with some wine and no troubles on my mind. Thank you! Best wishes, Alex

Music is life

This is my good night sleeping music. I turn the TV off and blast the 3hr n change and I sleep like a baby ! THX for uploading this magical trip. It's been on repeat for almost a week.

YES YES YES, this is the exact kind of sound I've been looking for. Perfect for grinding (studying, work, hobbies, etc...)

Imagine a concert like this.

I've just been "shocked" by Electric Octopus, and it feels like home.

I am mesmerised! Where have these octonauts been hiding all my life??

Random gold mine! First the name of the channel intrigued me then i saw the album title. First off epic band name! Second epic album name! And i can groove and feel the shit without tripping. Im excited to trip again. Got a whole album to listen to and intoxicate in the jams.

listened to this 3x now

How can an almost 4 hours album feels like its over in 10 minutes? Real time traveling machine!

This has been hidden to me until just now. Beautiful

No real need to get stoned to appreciate this music. Much simply has that kind of has that wistful melancholy daydreams vibe to it where you just want to space out and chill out. It's like blues and acid-rock without the lyrics.

This is perfect! Best way to spend an evening with a bottle of wine in November 2020

Im normally not a jam band guy. But I'm loving this album.

So rediscovering Real progresive music ,it's a blessed founding,thanks a lot!😂

Sitting on a bench, watching the silence of the night and headphones in...I'm traveling

this is awfully fantastic. still listening 3 years down the line with these utter dudes.

My god these guys hit me in a healing way....they bring out every drip of acid funk in mi body....whatever show or festival in the US ill have to make...new favorite jam band🤙

This is pretty cool. Finally youtube's algo hooks me up with something I actually needed to hear.

I work on restoring vintage cars, very nice hands on work too... But, wrestling the attitudes of a few people who want instant results at no cost with no thought of the the design and craft required to make a 90 year old machine as reliable as new (!?), makes me think twice... And then Electric Octopus settle into my earphones and all is good for 3hrs 53 minutes with the machine at hand! Thank you so much!

Just one of those things you just join,not knowing exactly why but you just close your eyes and join

The Dopesmoker of Jams :D

4 lives in One. 4 differents lives in One Lovely

That hubcap is a vortex of pure 90s-ness.

These guys live for the music and art. It's so difficult to find it today. Genuine and honest work

Doc Scorch I'm addressing you directly, I just took half a wee mischief maker and I'm 29mins in and theres no turning back.. Class ;0

I am from Northern Ireland.. WOW.. thank you.. peace and love....

Damn, I'm glad this one popped up somehow. Right on!

This is absolutely one of the coolest records I’ve heard in a long time. Great stuff!!! Thank you.

I listen to this waaaaay to often. Thank you guys for making such amazing music

love this space jam rock -- just a quiet but real -- few hours // thx guys!

Dude I pity da foo' who gives this a thumb down. "Groove Appreciation Deficiency" is y'all's diagnosis. The prognosis, however, depends on whether or not you can DIG IT!!

‘Moments’ makes me feel all the warm feelings ✨

Listening while in online class. Fokin' awesome. Keep rollin'!

Maybe this wonderful album combined elements blues soft rock using a minimalist sound base?! Thanks Electric Octopus The Bong Druid of Mammoth Mountain Google and You Tube! With boundless respect to the Music of Earthly World!

i like to play this while im baking, very relaxing!

I loved it. They can make it in the neo-psychedelic era. From the album cover i really like the person with the curly hair, because he looks a lot like me.

46:14 Lou Reed-Walk on a wild side.... I love it

H everyone of Electric Octopus and all listeners around the world! very good music, music very good !

Danke dir Du All-go-rythmus . Es war mir eine Freude, diese Musik kennengelernt zu haben. Zeitlos.

I love this kind of music I used to "trip" in the late 80's and early 90's and this would have suited that vibe. I confess that my mind was never fully accustomed to cannabis/weed might be because I opened a few wrong doors or right ones depending on what way we look at it. Having said that I remember at least 3 sessions where I was so stoned beyond the point of rescue and these delicious sounds would have eased the ride somewhat. There are some very "Herbie Hancock meets the Blues" moments going on here and even some sprinkles of mindless Syd Barrett seeping through.

really enjoyed painting the front room to this album :) Thanks for the good vibes lads. BiG luV X

Great! Kisses from Brazil

Title of the first song sets the mood forthwith the entire album.

I've listened to various lo fi mixes, some Stoned Reble and Carbon Based Lifeforms. This took me to new lands. My paintings reflect this 😂🎨🌿 A work of beauty that transported my soul, and my minds eye took the wheel 🙏🌷

Listening to this while writing a new chapter of my thesis feels like being in another level of productivity and inspitation

This is what i like play at the shop on weekends

.. always comming back for this beautiful journey .. THANKS !!

What a great find, awesome sound! Cheers from Brazil!

very good jams, good effects with the guitar, it takes you to a live jam session. Awesome!

i dont want this to end

well I've been sorely needing exactly this so to whomever I need to say thanks to, thanks, much appreciated

the first song sounds like no quarter by zeppelin at times, so cool!! this album is already killing it!! 🤘🏻

Fantastic tunes chaps!...Incredible gig at Arcadian Fields over the weekend...thank you so much

OMG! I just fell.....wait a tick.....nawwww..... I'm just trippin! You just made my night. Thank you! Nice grooves here.

most excellent

Man these guys pump out some content! So stoked I now have 3 more hours of their shit to listen to!!!

I never heard of the band Electric Octopus before listing to this album on RU-vid. EXCELLENT ALBUM!!! This one album made me fan, I'm hungry for more, so I'm now going to check out their other albums as well. But this album is definitely a keeper. If trip-hop, psych and rock had a baby this would be it. Excellent to work to with just enough stimulation to be able to work to enjoy the music at the same time without being disruptive to what I'm working on. This album always makes me feel chill and calm but not in a sleepy way.

I was looking for this album for so long. finally

So very wonderful. Such a great experience. Great artists in this day. Hope it continues. Highly enjoyably soothing. Keep on keeping on. Hail Thee Eternal Heavy 🔥!!!

This album has been the backing tack for my life the past 2 weeks. Loving these jams. Hoping for a USA West Coast tour soon!

Master MindBlowing! NICE GUYS! GOOD JOB!!!

Love every second of this. Thank you!!

I was skeptical... at first.. now i believe this album is truly worth every step, moment, and bit of energy it took to experience this album. This album is fire as oll heck swear on my right butt

I had never heard of these guys before today. my new favorite band!
