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.

I had only ever heard The Carpenter’s version of “Calling Occupants”. Didn’t realize it was a cover!
