Similar to this Aphex Twin remix of "On" or Dancing With Kadafi by Infected Mushroom. You'll find that scattered throughout Autechre's rather large discography.

You might have been buying this for Christmas and it's too late now, but I think he'd probably like bands such as Liquid Tension Experiment, Spastic Ink, Queensr˙che and maybe Spiral Architect more than Porcupine Tree. Dream Theater is not really prog rock, but rather progressive metal. Porcupine Tree is kind of in between the two. The bands I listed are prog metal, like DT.

nowhere posted:I had already gotten Loop's A Gilded Eternity and liked it. Where should I go from there? Fleeting Joys is great, I haven't seen any band that matched MBV like that. Honestly, all the remasters are stellar. You're correct about Fleeting Joys, few bands actually hit the mark they achieve with both their albums. Hrm, let's see... I recommend also seeking out some Astrobrite, and there's this fantastic lo-fi dude by the name of Fluker that really hit the spot for me (i described it as what if Loveless cost 1 dollar to make instead of 50 jabillion) Also, seconding the place to bury strangers, both albums are fantastic.

I'm looking for some recommendations for the mix of piano, keyboard synths, nintendo sounding noises, combined with either slow or fast music. Here are some of my favorite bands that best fit the description: Faster electronic: Chiodos, The Faint, Panic At The Disco (first album), The Medic Droid, Metro Station, Machinae Supremacy Slower electronic: The Postal Service, Death Cab, Mates of State, The Anniversary, Play Radio Play I'm drawing a blank now I'm sure theres a few more that I could throw in. But any band with synths that remind you of tetris or any 8 bit style sound would be perfect. If you were readin the list and thought of any bands that would fit in nicely, please let me know.

Tiga - Far From Home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfJ8prhLbtQ Fischerspooner - Emerge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8Jth4UtsY0 The chiptune movement seems to be made up of a lot of smaller, independent bands or individual artists with Crystal Castles being the obvious chiptune influenced cross-over act, but start with Anamanaguchi and then see if you're interested in 'pure' chip-tune from there if you like lo-fi, clearly synthetic 'nintendo' sounds. Anamanaguchi - Sting Operation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApCvhwbXytM EDIT: If you're looking for music that's fairly poppy but utilises lo-fi electonics, The Rentals have Moogs out the rear end: The Rentals - Friends of P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuHwpJgxQfw&feature=related Disco Pope fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Dec 29, 2009 |

Examples of what I'm looking for include the songs performed by Annie Ross and the Low Note Quintet in Robert Altman's movie Short Cuts, Deanna Storey's songs on the Synecdoche, NY soundtrack, and some of Chet Baker's slower stuff.

Try out these names if you already haven't Jagga Jazzist, Funki Porchini, The Herbaliser, St Germain, Bonobo, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Flevans, Mr. Scruff, Nostalgia 77, and Pilooski.

Iraff posted:I really would like to get in to reggae. Not so much the plodding, Bob Marley stuff. I am more interested in the stuff that is louder and more energetic, almost closer to the ska side of things. The best example I can give is the vocals from the song Tarantula by Pendulum, without the drum n bass elements (I'm actually a big DnB fan, but I'm looking more for acoustic stuff). Uhh, you can't really combine dancehall vocals (like in the Pendulum song) with ska riddims... But maybe it isn't obvious if you don't know much about JA music. For some more traditional deejay stuff try these guys: Dillinger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB4rDqeiQTQ Prince Far-I: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pXzf0cdEvA Tappa Zukie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9YT20VkQXA Eek-A-Mouse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyEwTM0n04c From the mid '80s onwards that kinda stuff tends to be electronic, a lot of '70s reggae fans don't care for digital riddims but gently caress that: Sizzla: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBqbTPKl8m0 Buju Banton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsrKloxhfaw Capleton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJWqjO8tggE Vybz Kartel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDAKYy6z_-M

Marnie Stern Cinemechanica Clues Hella These Arms Are Snakes Tera Melos Faraquet iwrestledabearonce Lite Maps and Atlases Sikth The Cancer Conspiracy Really anything that is heavily centered on obscure rhythm I will enjoy.

Lascivious Sloth posted:I'm looking for something similar to massive attack/air/metric/portishead with an emphasis on female vocals. Bitter:Sweet have two amazing albums, The Mating Game and Drama, both with sultry, sexy female vocals courtesy of Shana Halligan. They kind of veer into trip-hop sometimes, but they're generally more "loungey" than Portishead or Massive Attack, with an upbeat retro flair. Two of my favorites from them are "Dirty Laundry" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvQgBrQnqzk ) and "The Mating Game" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VljGLcxA1U&feature=related ). I can't forget Lovage, a "supergroup" comprised of NMD favorite Mike Patton, Jennifer Charles of Elysian Fields, and Dan the Automator producing. Their one album is practically a soundtrack for seduction, with trip-hoppy beats and Patton's growling playing off Charles' vocals that just drip sex. Here's "To Catch a Thief" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2c2aa_GMVA ) and "Strangers on a Train" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3Ad03oRWcI&feature=related ). You may also like Goldfrapp, particularly their first and fourth albums Felt Mountain and Seventh Tree. Those two are a lot darker, more down-tempo and trip-hoppy than the others. Here's a track called "Lovely Head": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBq-XCKePWg My latest musical discovery is a Swedish group called Koop, who specialize in jazzy electronica constructed from samples, with original vocal tracks. Their song "Koop Island Blues" pretty much epitomizes sexy, lush, exotic female vocals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTTGX27fsA4&feature=PlayList&p=ED95475761A49CC8&index=0&playnext=1 Black Box Recorder is very dark and haunting, shaped by Sarah Nixey's cold-yet-sexy British accent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UaUCgXXvNQ&feature=PlayList&p=2AF232BEA8160C55&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=22

Now that I think about it I could use some more Wagon Christ but he's not really nu jazz. You should check out a genre called broken beat, a close friend of mine loves it and he'd honestly be better at nu-jazz recs than I am. The broken style is a bit more of a funky, choppy, and sometimes just downright confusing drum rhythm. Daz said they started it as an offshoot of drum and bass and nujazz. It's not a big genre, if anything I'd consider it a sub-sub genre but that's just me. Another name to check out is Domu, IIRC he just wasn't having fun anymore and quit music entirely until further notice. It's a bit harder to find things about him because he shut down his online presence. EMUpirate fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Jan 3, 2010 |

thehandtruck posted:Which Clash albums contain the most reggae/semi-funky stuff? Like Rock the Casbah and specifically Bankrobber. Well they don't really have a 'reggae album', their funky stuff is dotted all throughout their catalogue here and there. Just go for London Calling, it has 'Guns of Brixton' and 'Wrong em Boyo', and it's a generally fantastic album to boot. e: I'm pretty sure Joe Strummers solo stuff had a heavier focus on reggae/ska, though I haven't listened to much of it myself so don't quote me on that. pablo gbscobar fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Jan 3, 2010 |

It's been a while since I've posted here, and my tastes have changed. I'm looking for music with some fairly heavy guitar parts, but nothing fast or metal. I've already explored the 60's, metal, some classic rock, and world music but don't know where to go from here. Example songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUDEZVP3wFw I really like the guitar parts, singer, lyrics, and especially the subject matter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPDoump2ra8 Less of a guitar presence but once again, excellent subject matter/singer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cernW4E0STY Great guitar presence (disregard the video on this one) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFo0HgLMmm4 Not much of a guitar prescense, but an amazing song and band.
