Yeah there's the Belew connection with his amazing guitar work, but both albums have these intricate rhythms that are fun to dance to (yes I have danced to King Crimson, shut up).

You should probably work your way around Belew's session work: He has worked with everyone from Peter Gabriel (I think) to Nine Inch Nails, and it seems like every time he is in the studio he brings some of whatever he has got with him. I love his first two solo albums (but not so much his later solo stuff), and for a long time, I just looked to whatever he had played session work on to guide me to something new. Peter Gabriel's Security (to me) has some of the same feel as Remain in Light. Oh and Laurie Anderson's Mister Heartbreak.

To update my request a bit, there are some songs I've been listening to recently that seem to have one common theme: glitchy female vocals. examples: Rebound X - Rhythm and Gash (though an even better, slightly sped-up version is found on his myspace); múm - The Ballad of the Broken Birdie Records (Ruxpin Remix II); and of course Crystal Castles - Doe Deer. Know of any others that might fit the "mostly electronic, melodic, super glitchy/cut-up/indecipherable female vocals" bill? Boards of Canada - 1969 and some Air might qualify, but I really want that higher pitch... edit: here's one I heard on rinse.fm the other day that's fun and qualifies (more or less): Funk Butcher vs Bitch Please - Rob you 4 your Shoes Smoove J fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jul 21, 2010 |

Try some no wave and bands like Maximum Joy, ESG, and Liquid Liquid. There's some good funky post-punk on this compilation: http://www.amazon.com/New-York-Noise-Various-Artists/dp/B00009OYSE This stuff is very danceable. But nothing from that era comes close to Remain in Light or Talking Heads in general.

If you listen to Rinse, you've probably already heard them, or of them, but: -Burial does the slow 2-step with cut up vocals thing -Synkro released Burial copycat tunes which are pretty nice -James Black - CMYK is pretty cool. The rest of his tunes are boring though. -and then there's always the million garage tunes with pitched/cutup vocals. Google around for some mixes, or listen to the BBC1Extra shows. I don't know enough about garage, but of you search for Vocal Garage you should find some with chopped vocals. And in any case it's objectively the best type of music, so you'll dig it.

Little Treasure posted:I have two Frank Zappa albums: Apostrophe and The Grand Wazoo. I would like to get into more of his stuff, but his incredibly large body of work has me baffled. Going off of the two albums I have, what do you recommend I listen to next? I'm going to agree with the already-recommended Over-Nite Sensation as a companion piece for Apostrophe, and toss in a mention of One Size Fits All as well. From Grand Wazoo, you'll also want to check out Waka/Jawaka and Hot Rats. Roxy & Elsewhere, You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol 2 and Make a Jazz Noise Here are, in my opinion, the live albums you don't want to miss. Oh, and Yellow Shark, too.

Is there a name for what I would call 1920's steampunk jazz techno? Or anywhere I can find more? The few examples I have are specific parts of or specific songs from a just plain techno band. Bassnectar- Churn of the Century is best one I can find. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaFAjn2WRCw e: Didn't realize this was a remix, but I can't find a original version online  The message gets across though.

The Secret Society, a (jazz) big band led by bandleader Darcy James Argue, has taken on kind of a "steampunk" theme with its album Infernal Machines, but it is a lot more straight-ahead jazz than your Bassnectar sample: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org/darcy_james_argues_secret/secret-society-live-audio.html

Are there any other artists that pull a Venetian Snares Rossz csillag alatt született and combine orchestra music with bizarre, frenetic drums? I know that that's such a unique tyle of his that looking for more like it might be cheapening it a bit, but I really love the crazy bombastic violins + all-over-the-place breaks sound.

CharlesWillisMaddox posted:I want some new thrash metal, I have plenty from the 80s and 90s, but I want some recent stuff that has been coming out. My favorites are Death Angel, Kreator and Anthrax. Try Morbid Carnage. They're a Hungarian group that sings about traditional thrash topics such as "Warlust" and being "Possessed by Metal." Also, this album cover:  Sticking with Carnage, I think you'll like Ritual Carnage. They're based in Tokyo. The singer's voice (at least on the latest album) is on the higher-pitched side of things, though not quite to the degree of Overkill, Annihilator or Belladonna Anthrax. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xqM0IeJD9U My favorite of the newer American thrash acts is probably Vektor, because I think they come up with some really interesting riffs/song structures and it's not just straightforward Exodus/Sodom/whatever worship. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsudyBzPGEI

Can anyone recommend anything that sounds like Broken Note's album Terminal Static? I haven't heard anything quite like it and am not even sure what genre it is. To my ears it sounds like an amazing mash-up of industrial hardcore, dubstep, drum and bass, and orgasms. I've listened to it far too much over that last few months.Little Treasure posted:I have two Frank Zappa albums: Apostrophe and The Grand Wazoo.

Grab Hot Rats as well as Roxy and Elsewhere. The former because its pretty much the apex of his career, and the latter because live Frank was the best Frank. Also, if you can stand Captain Beefheart, you should get a hold of Bongo Fury.

I recently went to a folk festival and was reminded how much I love the bagpipes. After having also loved the latest Titus Andronicus album (which features bagpipes) it got me wondering if anyone knows of any non-folk bands that use bagpipes to good effect? Also a related request does anyone know of any band which have a similar Chaotic but sing-along type sound to Titus?

Please recommend a Dave Matthews Band Live DVD. Folsom Field (2001) The Gorge (2002) Central Park (2003) Piedmont Park (2007) Across The Pond (2009) Any others? I saw them in concert for the first in July 2010, and am looking for a DVD with high quality sound and a substantial performance filled with their lengthy improvisational sections, and basically, just the best DMB experience that can be put on a DVD. I'm leaning towards Across The Pond because it is the most recent, but all of the DVD descriptions make them sound like the one to get. So I am hoping that a DMB enthusiast could recommend one of these as the premier DMB DVD. Thanks!

drainpipe posted:Archive - Londinium Oh man I was OBSESSED with this song/album back in middle school. I definitely grew out of trip-hop but hearing this brings back shameful memories. An album that really stuck with me is Cassidy by Bows. It's a gorgeous dream-pop record from Luke Sutherland (who was the frontman of weirdo post-punk band Long Fin Killie and also released a very Lamb-like album called Blush under the name Bows before this one) that takes elements of a bunch of milquetoast starbucks electronica that was popular in the late 90's and turns them into something really gorgeous. There aren't any samples on youtube so dig them up yourself! Also you should check out the artist J*Davey - her album has some really dope songs and some poo poo that's a little too out-there to really stick, but she's doing awesome poo poo with the "female-fronted pop&b with vaguely hip-hop beats" genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRBFUWCcxyE Dadjacket fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jul 28, 2010 |

I haven't had a chance to browse NMD for a while, but it feels good to be back  In any case, I need me some recommendations as I'm experimenting with auto-tune myself. I'm looking for hip hop (or any music) that uses auto-tune in a catchy or unique way. I've got all the music by the first artists you'd think of (and the ones on LastFM/Pandora) such as Drake, Wiz Khalfia, Big Sean, Lil' Wayne, T-Pain, Trey Songz, The Dream, etc. Any suggestions are much appreciated, but I'm looking for artists with at lease one major album released. I'm not really looking for myspace artists that you wouldn't be able to find on AllMusic.com. I don't mean that in any offensive way. I understand that unknown artists can be good, I'm just not looking for that. Help me out!!! List all you got!

For mine: I'm trying to find more hip-hop songs that have a heavy focus on volume dynamics. My favorite hip-hop song ever is Nas' "One Mic" and it's basically the only song I can think that does the volume variance thing.

My recommendation's a little weird, but I've noticed two songs that I like both use a really unique sound in their beginning. I assume it's some sort of guitar or sound technique, but I have no clue what it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEJy5z8IqoA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO7tVypeYAo (Both videos start with it) And to fit this thread's criteria, what are some cool alternative songs that use this sound?
