Norwegian Wood: I see myself sitting fireside in a coniferous forest, chatting with friends under the stars.

Saucerful of Secrets: Vastly underrated song. When I listen to this, I see myself stumbling through the woods late at night and happening upon a crashed UFO, and tiny robots begin pouring from it.

Quite honestly, almost anything by Leonard Cohen! That guy sure does have a way of making any long song seem short!

Like said earlier, most music "transports" me, but here are my strongest examples (which will mostly be albums, lol).

1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) by the Jimi Hendrix Experience - The whole entirety of Electric Ladyland could fit here, but this particular song transports me to a beautiful sea, floating away, fully tranquil. I had that particular vision when I was around 11 or 12, and that's the first "transport" I can remember.

Apostrophe by Frank Zappa - Holy crap, 12 years old, falling asleep, the psychedelic imagery is somehow vivid to me still yet so vague and distant. The Yellow Snow suite was a bizarre trip through who knows what, then Cosmik Debris, Excentrifugal Forz and Apostrophe were a trip through space. Thank god I was asleep by the time Uncle Remus came on that would have killed my trip.

Midnite Vultures (the song, not the album) by Beck - I think all my music trips are space themed. This one was a sexy alien hotel lounge, in the least pervy way possible.

The Disintegration Loops (specifically d|p 1.1) by William Basinski - I have no idea where this one transported me, which is funny because it was one of the most recent at only a little over a year ago. I know it was one hell of a trip because I couldn't stop listening, but relistens sadly don't give me that same ecstasy.

Nightvision by Daft Punk - This one made me think of a rainy, lonely night when I was 11.

Dopesmoker by Sleep - Stoned or not, try listening to this one on a very hot day, back on the grass, pouring water on your face occasionally. It's a great trek through the desert.

Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is Lost by Shpongle - Needs no description, great music to sleep to.

The Hot Chip remix of Kids With Guns by Gorillaz always reminds me of the beach.

Nah, ambient and techno is for sissies.

Don't you love songs that suck you in, the ones that form a soundscape for you to get lost in. I'd like to know which ambient/atmospheric song entrances you more than most.
