kingcobweb posted:As far as early 80s music like Unlimited Touch, you're probably looking more for the vague non-genre of "post-disco" more than "funk." Check out the blog Beat Electric if you want crate-dug type stuff (and it'll definitely fulfill your "lot of synth" criteria). You might also be interested in basically everything Roy Ayers breathed on in that decade (might be a bit too disco though): I know the classics fairly well, so I guess I was looking for the more obscure cuts. And I got no problem with disco at all, but same with funk, I dig the synthier Hi-NRG and Italo sounds.

He asked me where he could branch out from by giving me Orbital - Halycon + On + On. Maybe atmospheric dnb such as LTJ Bukem? Different genre but i get the same kind of feelings from Halycon as Atlantis, and maybe some of Goldie's stuff from the same period. Or prehaps some 90s Underworld tracks would fit the bill. This kind of trance gives me the same kind of feeling too although the synths sound dated now, the breakdowns in some of these tracks are very atmospheric: Velocity - Lust (Rabbit in the Moon Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X2Q9HuT--Q Got acid parts, breakbeat part, orchestral breakdown at 5:50. Personally i think it's amazing but maybe it's too different of a style that he wouldn't like.

This isn't the "Recommend the band that sounds slightly like what you think the person described Megathread". Okay, hands up my post wasn't well written, and 'ambient' and 'techno' are really clouded terms, but it was a genuine recommendation based on the work of the artists listed that I've owned music by.

Well if u want some more obscure synth heavy 80s funk just type in an obscure cut in youtube and you can browse that users vids to your hearts content. A few noteworthy compilations if thats too much of a bother: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Peoples-Potential-Family-Album/release/2081839 store associated with the label: http://earcave.mybisi.com/ http://www.discogs.com/Various-Jerome-Derrajdi-Presents-The-American-Boogie-Down/release/1506925 http://www.discogs.com/Various-Supafunkanova-Badass-Funk-Classics-From-The-Disco-Boogie-Era/release/1675065 http://www.discogs.com/Various-Destination-Boogie/release/655337?ev=rr Also you can check out the various mixes dam funk has released over the past few years. I only have a vague idea in my head what the exact aesthetic you are looking for but here are a few of my personal faves of the early 80s obscure funk era. Certainty not obscure amongst collectors/the internet fanbase, but physically rare. pyramid plus-comin at ya http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzUE6DkUa7U Maxx Traxx - Don't Touch It! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrDuorbQgHA JUNEI - LET'S RIDE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKK8vKM3rls Carmen - Time To Move http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq5mnGAP2s4 Starshine - All I Need Is You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7nTqnGlU3Y Mid Air - Ease Out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKfhrcr8SL4 Anyways, this is just a small sampling of what is out there, but hopefully provides a useful starting point.

Recommend me grunge. Any grunge. I don't mind if it's your local grogged up band that played 3 shows down at Shooters in '94 (as long as I can reasonably get a hold of the music, that is). Bonus if you give opinions about the style of the band, their best albums, what to avoid, etc. Comparisons are great.

That's really tough without any indication of what you know and like, or what you don't like at least. I'm going to assume you already know and like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and so on and so forth. I don't know a lot of obscure stuff here, my personal favorites include Bush, Screaming Trees and some of Jerry Cantrell's solo stuff. Also had a short period with Black Stone Cherry. Personally I've just run into the track "The Test" by Chemical Brothers and I absolutely love it(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDe6MZQjpho), but after listening through all their other stuff I only found one or two other songs I like and nowhere near as good. Other stuff this reminds me of that I like, which may or may not help suggestions: UNKLE - Keys to the kingdom, Parov Stelar - Autumn Beasts.

Should also try Rocketship, Whorl, The Charlottes, Velocity Girl, and Heavenly. Not quite as noisy, but in the same vein. Whorl and Velocity Girl both feature members of Black Tambourine.

Tad, all the albums are good, I don't even remember what they put out. But its dirty and heavy and on the noise rock side of grunge. Crackerbash. My mom's friends from high school, I think they have one album and some EPs and singles, not sure though. Not really grunge but were a punk band in the NW so they are grunge I guess. Somewhere between Nirvana and Rites of Spring? this song fuckin rules http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNJtub3RAm4 Hazel. Another Portland band, almost got signed I think. Softer, dual female and male vocals, one of the band members was their dancer a la The Stone Roses. Kinda like Sebadoh or something. Torreador of Love is their best

I have been enjoying some rather classical stuff like Time to Say Goodbye and Memory from Cats lately. Slow-paced classical songs with an emphasis on lyrics, I guess. I heard some more stuff by Bocelli but it didn't quite suit my tastes, it seemed far too fast-paced for me. Does anyone have anything to recommend to one like me?

Volvagia posted:What's some more weirdo creepy dub like the early Pole stuff? I'm sure someone else can recommend some really boring and beatless ambient/dub techno like those three LPs (Steingarten is a poo poo record too, but the remix album is FIRE), but I think you should check out the Basic Channel comp, BCD (1), which is totally the zenith of that syle. Apart from that, you should enjoy basically everything on Chain Reaction records, guys like Vladislav Delay, Vainqueur and Porter Ricks have done a poo poo ton of that kinda stuff. e: oh, am I loving dumb or what??? "Creepy dub" = Rhythm & Sound! Particularly the instrumental records. And check out Luomo's Vocalcity while you're at it, it's dubby, and altough not alll that similar to Pole, basically the best album ever.

I've really enjoyed Burial's Untrue for a long time, but I hate most of what is referred to as dubstep, so when I look for similar artists I usually don't get too far. Are there other dubstep artists out there with a sound like that, or just something generally chill and not the rabid bass drop poo poo I have usually associated with it?

Are there other dubstep artists out there with a sound like that, or just something generally chill and not the rabid bass drop poo poo I have usually associated with it? The meaning of 'dubstep' has changed a lot over the past 10 years, from the early stuff being basically dark 2 step UK garage, to the mid-decade halfstep stuff, to now, where the people making the music most informed by the early days of the scene (which Burial very much is) avoid applying the term to themselves. You could start by familiarising yourself with all 7 volumes of Tempa's 'Dubstep Allstars' mix series, that will give you a pretty good understanding of how the scene has developed over the past six years. Very early dubstep is much more exclusively dance music (rather than both dance music and headphone music as with more recent stuff) and a lot of it sounds kind of formulaic to my ears, but there's some good stuff to be had there too. 'The Roots of Dubstep' compilation on Tempa is worth a listen. Big Apple Records and Tempa are the most significant labels. 'Future garage' or 'future bass' is a term being thrown around now for the more adventurous elements of modern UKG-informed music, pretty much in a rebranding effort now that 'dubstep' has come to mean the kind of stuff you mention in your post in the mainstream consciousness. This is where it really gets interesting IMO: Compilations: Future Bass (Soul Jazz) Worth the Weight - Bristol Dubstep Classics (Punch Drunk) Deep Medi Releases Volume 1/2 (Deep Medi Musik) 5 Years of Hyperdub (Hyperdub) Night Slugs Allstars Vol.1 (Night Slugs) Labels: Punch Drunk Hotflush Hyperdub Deep Medi Musik Hessle Audio Apple Pips Hemlock Recordings Skull Disco Tectonic Night Slugs YouTubes: El B - Buck & Bury Horsepower Productions - The Swindle Digital Mystikz - Anti-War Dub Skream - Midnight Request Line Loefah - Mud Mala - New Life Baby Paris Martyn - Broken Appleblim & Peverelist - Circling 2562 - Techno Dread Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo Joker - Purple City James Blake - CMYK Hyetal & Shortstuff - Ice Cream Egyptrixx - The Only Way Up Untold - Just For You Girl Unit - Wut Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can point you in the direction of good mixes to check out depending on which of this stuff you like, although really Google is your best friend here.

So I've been trying to listen to more technoish (not sure this is the correct word to describe it) music lately. I finally came across an album that I absolutely love, but am having a lot of trouble finding anything similar to it. The album is Röyksopp's Junior album. I've tried listening to their other albums, but they just don't do it for me. I've also tried using Pandora and Last.FM, but since I can't specify the album from the band they haven't done me much good. I guess the main thing I like about the album are the nice upbeat songs with the female vocalists. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking for some more bluesy stuff to listen to! In terms of the blues, something along the lines of John Lee Hooker and B.B. King, but I'm open to stuff that treads into R&B/Jazz territory. (Ray Charles as the prime example) In terms of blues-rock, modern is what I'm after, like The Whites Stripes' 'De Stijl' and 'Get Behind Me Satan', and The Black Keys' 'Thickfreakness'. Some of Stevie Ray Vaughan's stuff is good, but the more rockabilly stuff he does is exactly what I'm NOT looking for. I'm also pretty torn about listening to 'Best of' or compilation albums in general, so unless one is really well done, original albums would be the best! Much appreciated in advanced.

I'm looking for more stuff like Every Time I Die (New Junk Aesthetic and Gutter Phenomenon are my favorites). It's the best workout music because they're really energetic and aggressive but not the point where all the lyrics are just completely unintelligible screaming which I can't stand.
