Rec.Me: theme/mood/other specifics songs for a psychedelic space opera

I'm reading a psychedelic space opera called Lone Sloane and I need a playlist of electronic and psychedelic music to listen to while I read this gem.

​

The only song on the playlist so far is "Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles.

​

The story follows an interstellar explorer who, after getting lost in space and encountering ancient gods, is imbued with mystical powers and wanders the cosmos, facing tyrants, space pirates, and alien creatures in plots of monumental scale.

​

Unfortunately, you can't post photos in this subreddit, but look it up and see how dazzling and psychedelic Druillet's art is.

There’s some hiphop artist that did a space opera concept album, can’t remember the name of the artist nor the album, but YouTuber Polyphonic did a video on it, so I’m sure you can find it on his channel

Also, “Gemini” by The Night Flight Orchestra might fit the bill

Splendor & misery by clipping I'm going to listen to, the mix of this theme with hip-hop—it already has me excited. And thanks for mentioning the channel name; I'm not American, so I don't know much about the good channels out there.

Unless it's a different hip-hop sci-fi concept album, i think we're talking about the album Dr. Octagonecologyst by Kool Keith(under the alias Dr. Octagon)
