- MYSTICIZM · Reality.Hacking — Terence McKenna samples — 142 BPM progressive psytrance with Terence McKenna speech samples, confirmed by the artist.
- Shpongle · A New Way to Say ‘Hooray!’ — Terence McKenna — A psybient detour featuring McKenna’s voice, from Tales of the Inexpressible.
- Sonic Species & Yushi · Digital Reality — Consciousness, technology and imagined futures. Shamanic Tales. A candidate for the remembered ‘digital reality’ passage; the exact wording is unconfirmed.
- Sonic Species & Kalki · You Are the Light — An affirmative vocal refrain within psychedelic trance.
- Electric Universe & Greg Hilight · Om Namah Shivaya — A traditional Shaiva devotional mantra in a contemporary psytrance recording. Shamanic Tales.
- Ace Ventura & Astrix · Pranava — mantra-centred psychedelic trance.
- Ace Ventura & Electric Universe · Ancient Aum — an Aum-themed psychedelic journey.
- Electric Universe · The Prayer — devotional vocal textures.
- Spacetime Continuum & Terence McKenna · Alien Dreamtime — spoken-word collaboration with electronic accompaniment; a precursor to later McKenna sampling.
- The Jimi Hendrix Experience · If 6 Was 9 — a psychedelic rock root for this listening trail; the link opens an official behind-the-scenes video.
McKenna’s words are presented as philosophy and psychedelic cultural history. For the sampling history, see Graham St John’s The Voice of the Apocalypse.
