Ulio posted:I did like Nick Drake's Milk and Honey, Transistor Rhythm mentioned him on the other page. Nick Drake's "Milk and Honey" is actually a Jackson C. Frank cover, so you should definitely check out Frank's one album "Blues run the game." It's ridiculously dark and ridiculously great. Also, if you're not afraid of country music, start looking into Mickey Newbury's records, especially "It looks like rain." They're darker and danker than most of his contemporaries.

slowdave posted:What are the most essential of all the Wolf Eyes releases? I've listened to close to 100 different Wolf Eyes releases. Out of what's widely available, these are essential: Slicer Human Animal Dread Burned Mind Always Wrong Black Vomit (collaboration with Anthony Braxton) Really, the best way to experience Wolf Eyes is to see them live, and afterwards buy one (or all) of the random Wolf Eyes tapes off the table. But if you're in a part of the world where you can't, those above should be a good introduction.

I really like The Soft Moon and I've heard it described as darkwave or coldwave. Also I've heard A Place to Bury Strangers were influenced by darkwave too, so were do I start?

Da Monk posted:If you like the distorted voices from Daft Punk, you will also like Moon Safari by Air France (obs! this is much more laid back compared to Daft Punk), you have probably heard sexy boy before. If its just the dance appeal of Daft Punk, you will probably like Cross by Justice and Idealism by Digitalism Moon Safari was absolutely fantastic but I'm looking for more like the other two, Cross in particular was great. e: Actually I wouldn't mind more like Moon Safari as well. e2: didn't even notice the official house/electro thread. I'll probably just have a read through that once my bandwidth resets. final edit: lots of single recommendations, not a whole lot of albums in there Beartaco fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Mar 21, 2011 |

Stench Of Profit posted:Possibly the new Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble album? This is fantastic. I'm already in love with just that one song. I was going to come here asking for something similar, but since I'm already looking, can anyone suggest to me some more upbeat jazzy music in the same vein as Squirrel Nut Zippers, hopefully something more modern. I'd also like to have a suggestion for some feel good music similar to Jamiroquai.

Nonesuch Records has reissued a bunch of their gamelan recordings from the 1970s. Get some from both Bali and Java, very different styles. That's about all I'm familiar with as far as recordings go, hopefully someone else can chime in because I'd also like to hear more gamelan.

regulargonzalez posted:Looking for some retro-80s synth pop ala I Am the World Trade Center and Freezepop. Strong preference for female vocals but I suppose it's not mandatory. Freezepop's a little bit of an outlier in that I've not heard any other bands with that minimal feel to the synths. With that in mind it's 80s Throwback Electro-House YouTube Vomit Time (Fem Vox Ed.), hopefully you'll find something to enjoy here. I'll be pretty surprised if you're into this kind of music and haven't heard Ladytron yet. If not get on that pronto Dubstar were a semi-synthpop, semi-dream pop band that had a minor British top 40 hit with Stars in the 90s (personally speaking, I had one of those moments when I heard it again years later after forgetting about it completely). Client, Sarah Blackwood's next project, came after they split and has a far colder, slightly menacing sound that I personally dig but it ain't gonna be everyone's thing. Alice in Videoland is VERY pop-inclined, their first three albums are a blast (not so fond of their most recent though). Here's a good one. Snowboarders like them, I'm not sure if there's any special reason for that or if it's just because there's a lot of snow in Sweden. Speaking of Sweden, here's a proclick video with a drat good song by The Knife. That song's a bit special though, they normally sound more like this (notice the Bjrk-lite vocals), which is still fine, just sayin'. Pzychobitch is more on the industrial side of electro (they're German, they can't help it), but they fit into this sort of sound plus they're obscure enough I feel like namedropping them anyhow Not female vocals, still cool: The Presets (I don't know much about these guys but this song and the album it's on are killer) Also, while not really representative of their overall sound you might get a kick out of Fischerspooner's Megacolon if you've got a sick sense of humour (warning: absolutely filthy song about scat fetishists) Also also I'd never heard of IATWTC until your post, so thanks for that. edit: Hey hey I forgot Chicks on Speed, they're probably closer to Freezepop than a lot of stuff on that list.

Hey, so, I've basically been a fan of Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival since the early days of Battlefield: Vietnam, and I've semi-recently been bothered to go and see if I can find any more music like it. But, from what I've seen, (well, heard) it appears to be the only CCR song of its' 'type'; the others are all fairly different, really. So yeah, anyone know of any music/songs similar (or similar-ish) to CCR's Fortunate Son, that's any good?

(Yeah, I'm not being all that helpful on the matter, I know :\ ) EDIT: Just listened to Sweet Hitch-hiker, (also CCR, for others reading this) which isn't too bad, really; but still not as good as Fortunate Son, in my eyes. I'll look around on the internet again I guess, to see where FS ranked, and what was supposed to be better Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Mar 24, 2011 |

Violent J Mascis posted:Thanks, I listened to the bands you mentioned on youtube and saw Kas Product Ah, well the Soft Cell demos out there are close to that. The compilation Cold Waves and Minimal Electronics Vol. 1 has all the important names in minimal synth poo poo. Most of those groups only released a single or an EP or two and disappeared, so comps are a good bet. The Tribute to Flexipop compilations are close to that too, with way more obscure bands than you could shake a stick at.

(Yeah, I'm not being all that helpful on the matter, I know :\ ) all CCR is good. "Fortunate Son" is one of my favorite CCR songs, but it's somewhat idiosyncratic in that it's bit faster and more hard-rock-sounding than most of their other songs. if you're not sold on CCR, maybe check out some of their contemporaries, instead.

That's about all I'm familiar with as far as recordings go, hopefully someone else can chime in because I'd also like to hear more gamelan. This is the correct answer. Don't go looking for white westerners "reinterpreting" the stuff in concert halls until you've heard the originals. "Music from the morning of the world" and "Night recordings from Bali" are stone classics (http://www.amazon.com/Night-Recordings-Bali-Various-Artists/dp/B0000ZH0C6/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1300977918&sr=1-3), but the javanese stuff is really amazing too. Also, if you find that you're starting to get sucked into this stuff (most curious listeners will eventually go through such an obsessive phase with gamelan and exotic field recording material!), check out Colin McPhee's book "A House in Bali" - http://www.amazon.com/House-Bali-Colin-McPhee/dp/9625936297 - GREAT read.

I know basically nothing about country music, and I feel like I should fix that. It's not because of any "Oh yeah, I listen to anything but country" sentiment but just because I've never really gotten into it and as far as I know, my country fan friends mainly listen to stuff like Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood that I can't stand. The extent of my knowledge is pre-entry level, just things by Johnny Cash and a few other songs, but I'd appreciate recommendations of good uptempo stuff like Johnny Bond's Hot Rod Lincoln and The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

Hey guys! I guess I've really been getting a hard-on lately for stuff I would call "New Soul" along the lines of Amy Winehouse or Adele. Contemporary stuff that really recalls some of the rougher anguished vocalizing of Etta James or Nina Simone or Wanda Jackson, but laid over much more creative hip-hop styling. I really can't seem to be able to stand modern Soul or R&B but I'm a big fan of the Verve Remix albums so I guess I'm looking for a sort of difficult-to-describe authenticity of new mixed with old. Any thoughts? A touch of funk with it is definitely appreciated. Edit: Stuff like (older) Morcheeba comes to mind as well. koboldstyle fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Mar 25, 2011 |
