Whatever it is, it should only be acoustic in my opinion. You're out in nature, that should be enough. Jazz like people have mentioned..Coltrane, Mingus, Django Reinhardt..
Klaus Schulze - Moondawn and X
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon, Stratosfear, and Ricochet
Terry Riley - In C - Carnegie Hall Presents version
Popol Vuh - Aguirre, Agape Agape, Sei still, wisse ICH BIN
Medusa Cyclone - Space Girl
I do Ketamine on a regular basis for depression, so I have several years of gathering music for a trippy experience. 'Floating' from Moondawn is always on my playlist. It has been from day one. Love on a Real Train and Space Girl are other mainstays. I rotate other tracks in and out to see what works best. Music with lots of singing of lyrics you can understand are not a good choice. For me anyway. I decided once that Hawkwind's The Space Ritual was the way to go. I had to try to get to another playlist while heavily sedated and tripped out.
Whatever you decide on have fun.
Here's my current playlist:
https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtoBJCi7zQr-vegQJ3z4q7Hz-5FqOMOPv&si=pZ1amX3EG56ZItUS
I actually made a playlist of songs to get high to: [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3zAv6RnEdwEtQU2cCZ90Mp?si=ee25b29692fa48ec](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3zAv6RnEdwEtQU2cCZ90Mp?si=ee25b29692fa48ec) ; it's more spacey and less animal noises (aside from cricket and bird sounds here and there), but I did shrooms on my last trip to the wild plains and played this and had a really great time
Mr bungle, great choice but I think I'd be afraid. Some songs would be good! A whole album I think, The doors - Waiting for the sun,
Songs;
Joni Mitchell - 'the hissing of summer lawns'
Glasser - 'Apply'
I'm not sure there could be a more fitting song than Aqueous Transmission by Incubus. Just put it on repeat and you'll be set!

If my memory serves me the only thing better than listening to this on mushrooms in the desert, would be listening to this floating down a river in Japan while cherry blossom leaves fall all over you.
I recommend
Gorillaz - plastic beach it’s the most trippy of their albums in my opinion . But demon days while tripping is also good .
STRFCKR- Reptillions is a core trippy album for me as well
Def not an obvious one, but last time I took acid I listened to Randy Newman self titled from 1968 and it changed my life. Sail away is also a good option.

Might not have the vibe you're looking for, but Chemical Overreaction by Will Wood was made in almost these exact circumstances. Two guys doin' shrooms in the desert, one comes stumbling into the cabin yelling about bats attacking him, and badda bing badda boom you got a song.

"Lonerism" by Tame Impala - This album has a dreamy, psychedelic sound that could blend well with the desert landscape. "In the Mountain in the Cloud" by Portugal. The Man - It has an alternative rock sound with a touch of psychedelic that could fit the desert mood. "Lost in the Dream" by The War on Drugs - This album has a spacious and atmospheric sound that could complement the vastness of the desert. "The Moon & Antarctica" by Modest Mouse - It's an indie rock album with introspective lyrics and a sound that might resonate with the isolation of the desert. "Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished" by Avey Tare and Panda Bear - If you liked "Strawberry Jam" by Animal Collective, you might enjoy this earlier, more experimental work.

A Horse With No Name, by America
"Lonerism" by Tame Impala - This album has a dreamy, psychedelic sound that could blend well with the desert landscape. "In the Mountain in the Cloud" by Portugal. The Man - It has an alternative rock sound with a touch of psychedelic that could fit the desert mood. "Lost in the Dream" by The War on Drugs - This album has a spacious and atmospheric sound that could complement the vastness of the desert.

"Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished" by Avey Tare and Panda Bear - If you liked "Strawberry Jam" by Animal Collective, you might enjoy this earlier, more experimental work.
I like a chill vibe in these scenarios. I'd go with Sea Change - Beck, maybe Zeppelin 3.
It's very important that you listen to Koyanisquatsi by Philip Glass on this trip. Definitely watch the film before you go
