what makes a track "psychedelic" ?

I think we can agree that timeless music is that which resonates with a particular person for... well, a long time. So, it's also subjective. Key word is resonates.

I don't agree with dance music generalization. The psytrance that still resonates with me after all these years and therefore consider timeless for myself goes beyond the categorization of dance music since it puts me in a space where I'm not paying attention to the 4/4 beat anymore.

It's all in your mind and when taken the appropriate substances your imagination just blends with the music, like it already does in a sober state, but just much much stronger.

In my experience the music of Sensient really does the trick for me.
The album Antifluoro sounds kind of dry and minimal when sober, but once under different circumstances the music just makes a 180 % turn into something very alien, but just so cool
An example of what I mean is this, although a Hypogeo track, but very much the same idea of just wicked ripping sounds constructed in a way that it almost doesn't feel like a musical track anymore:

the psytrance genre needs still a real psychedelic timeless album imo. Only a few albums won't get boring after years of existing - completely different to psychedelic music made by PInk Floyd for instance. You stll can hear it again and again on loop although it is released before most of us were even planned to exist. So much soul and spirit in it.

Isn't this timeless thing not just something similar to cars for example?
I mean a car from 10 years ago just doesn't look right, out of fashion and all.
But in 30 years from now, that same vehicle will all of a sudden feel like a very nice retro car.
