I assume it's some sort of guitar or sound technique, but I have no clue what it is. That sound isn't really what I would call 'unique' at all, it's a basic guitar tone that the Strokes the Hives and a bunch of other cool alternative groups that I'm sure others are more familiar with make heavy use of in their sound.

Probably depends what type of music you are searching for I'd say as there are a few Genre specific sites out there that might help if you are looking for something relatively obscure.

You do have to wade through some "Quiet Storm" moments to get to them but. Earth, Wind, and Fire? Also Rick James, bitch. (has that ever been appropriate to say before?) And his protege Teena Marie, but that is not horn based funk which it sounds like you are leaning towards.

I'm looking for some new free jazz stuff. Made within the last 5-10 years or so. If anyone has any paticular artists that work primarily in the free jazz field please let me know as well! To be honest I know most of the big older names, ornette, coltrane, sun ra, art ensemble, etc. What I'm looking for if there is anyone out there today still rocking free jazz to it's fullest. A few new ones I have found are drummer Hamid Drake, pianist Sakoto Fujuii, Chris Corsano, Virginia Genta, but these are about the only ones I can think of that still primarily work in the field of free/improvisation jazz. thank in advance!

I'm not very well versed, and I can only think of Keiji Haino, but he is more of a general improvisational artist, so not necessarily jazz. My personal favorites in free jazz are Sonny Sharrock and Art Ensemble of Chicago, though they are both old.

Okay, this is kind of a weird thing to request, and it might be a little TOO specific, but I would love any help or suggestions. I've always had a dream that, in the future, contemporary compositions for orchestra or symphony would regularly use synthesizers (or other electronic effects) as part of their music, in a way that was fittingly appropriate to the "classical" or "hollywood" style of music WITHOUT the synthesizer's use being overly gimmicky or experimental. It would just be another instrument to be utilized, and would fit organically with the orchestra/symphony without being a major distraction. To this day, I have only found two works that prove this dream of mine can be a reality. The first is the soundtrack of Super Mario Galaxy. A good example would be Buoy Base Galaxy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrvvkW2blw0 That's great stuff. That's a legitimate orchestral use of synthesizers (especially the part beginning at 1:15). It takes away from neither the other instruments, nor the piece itself. The second is Janelle Monae's album "The ArchAndroid," which has two symphonic suite overtures that are injected with a very healthy dose of effects and electronic instruments, put to beautiful use. The first one, Suite II Overture, has been uploaded to youtube by the official dudes here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lHHXeCm2ew That's probably the best example there is of what I mean by an "organic" combining of synths and traditional instruments. It still sounds like a classical/hollywood piece, just with extremely awesome stylish flair. I thought last.fm would be able to help me find some artists or tracks like this, but frankly, REICH AND CAGE ARE NOT WHAT I WANT. Their kind of contemporary compositions I would label as "experimental" and I am not looking for Minimalism. I guess if I had to put it simply: Can anyone recommend "contemporary classical" songs or artists that involve synthesizers being tastefully used with orchestras/symphonies? Wait, that's not simple at all. I'm terrible at this!

I'm curious as to see if there is anything else by Daft Punk that sort of fits what they did for the Tron Legacy trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9szn1QQfas). I only have Descovery, but none of the songs on there kind of fit with the movie soundtrack. The sort of distorted movie tone that I can't seem to describe well. e: obviously though, once this soundtrack becomes available for purchase (if it isn't already) I'm definitely picking it up.

Don't get me wrong though, Maggot Brain is my favorite song ever. Check out Doin' Something by Soulive and Rage! by Lettuce for some more recent funk. Also, it isn't exactly funk, but do yourself a favor and check out The Budos Band.

She was Miles Davis' ex-wife (and allegedly the inspiration behind 'Bitches Brew') and has some really heavy funky beats. I'm kinda surprised she's so overlooked tbh as she's easily on par with the other funk greats like the ones listed above.

For the love of god, I've nothing against Davis but this whole re-discovery of her work in the last few years has got too far: she made a couple of very good albums, but to compare her stuff to J.B.'s or Parlifunk on any level is plain ridiculous. Check yoself.

CinnamonToastFunk posted:Can someone recommend some otherworldly, foreboding jazz along the lines of Bitches Brew, especially the track "Pharaoh's Dance"? Henry Kaiser & Wadada Leo Smith have a great Bitches Brew tribute type band called "Yo Miles." Check out "Sky Garden." I also posted this in response to someone who particularly liked the electric piano sound on Bitches Brew: Check out Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi, which always seemed really close in spirit to Bitches Brew to me. If you like that you can move on to Headhunters. Maybe Hancock on Freddie Hubbard's Red Clay, but that's not at all floaty if that's what you're hearing and liking on the albums. I almost hate to do it, but you can check out the first (and only the first) Weather Report album I guess. I feel like Lonnie Liston Smith gets there sometimes, though everything I have handy has more of a synthesized feel. Maybe the stuff he did with Pharoah Sanders, I dunno. Gil Scott-Heron can play a mean Fender Rhodes, but that's starting to get really far removed from that Bitches Brew feel.

Try "September", "In The Stone", "Shining Star", and "Saturday Night" for starters. The Jackson 5. Mainly just "I Want You Back" and "ABC" The Bar-Kays. "Too Hot to Stop" is the song during the opening of Superbad (which is kind of a cover of EW&F's "Shining Star")

There is a song on this guys myspace called "How to kill a rock star" http://www.myspace.com/zimzum I'm totally in love with that song. A few people have recommended bands to me....but they all sound too 'gothy' and don't really capture what it is in that song that I love...which I'm having a hard time defining myself. I did some research on the guy, apparently he played guitar for Marilyn Manson 15 years ago or so. But that's all, I don't really dig his other work. Anyone know any music like that song?

The Gories, The Oblivians, The Mummies, The Trashwomen, The Reatards, The Strange Boys, Black Lips, The Spaceshits, King Khan & The Shrines, BBQ/Mark Sultan Solo, Happy Birthday (King Tuff's band, but they're REALLY poppy, so you might not dig em as much) Just check out the catalogs of labels like In The Red, Crypt, Goner, etc. A lot of bands on those labels will probably be right up your alley.

So I've been going through Pitchfork's best reissues, and I found some really great compilations, like Ghana Special and Nigeria 70 Does anyone know of other great collections like this? It doesn't have to be African or even World music, this funk collection was really good too.

Buda Musique's Ethiopiques series compiles some of Ethiopia's best stuff, and Stern's Music reissues a bunch of poo poo from all over Africa. Guinea's Syliphone Records' stuff has been reissued on Syllart Productions, and they also did V/A comps of Senegalese, Malian and Congolese stuff, of less funky stylings admittedly.

The Ghana Soundz comps on Soundway are afrofunky goodness. These are different from Ghana Special, that's more straight highlife and Ghana Soundz is more western influenced funk. HAI mentioned Vampisoul, they do some really good African music stuff but tend to focus on single artist reissues. The Tony Allen 3xLP they reissued is particularly great. For western funk, this King Label funk comp they did is amazing: http://www.vampisoul.com/detail_cd.asp?referencia=83 The Funky 16 Corners is in my opinion one of the greatest comps ever: http://www.stonesthrow.com/funky16/corners.html Can You Dig It? The Music and Politics of Black Action Films goes into soul territory at times but it's still a good listen and the book that comes with it is really interesting: http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/releases/?id=17107 I've been listening to this Cult Cargo album of funk from the Bahamas a ton recently: http://numerogroup.com/catalog_detail.php?uid=00271 ShutteredIn fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Aug 7, 2010 |

Paul Simon's Graceland album was directly influenced by this type of music.
