Anything similar to this specific Electric Wizard insrumental? Not really a huge fan of actual stoner / sludge stuff but this kind of spacey, slow, bass-heavy stuff with psychedelic guitarwork I find awesome. I'd wager at least some late 60s or 70s progressive rock bands did something like this but sadly I haven't found anything similar yet. Some post-rock bands (like Red Sparowes) come close but I think they often lack the feel of a jam I'm looking for. Something like slowed down Ozric Tentacles but less tacky. I don't mind vocals as long as they're not death metal growling.

Have you checked Acid Mothers Temple out?

I'm starting to get into chiptune music. I've got albums by 4mat, Brother Android, and Starscream. Who else should I listen to?

If it helps, this is one of my favourite songs, Paperdolls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqSbLQSNNFo

Some of these are crossovers, but hopefully you enjoy a few of them:

Neutralite is just awesome.

Sabrepulse plays a kind of "chip-pop": songs that sound more like pop songs rendered in 8-bit as opposed to something you'd expect to hear as VGM.

The Deprecation Guild plays live hard rock instruments with a chiptune background.

Zomby Makes dubstep, but uses a ton of video game samples.

What are some suggestions for the type of soul like in Bewildered by James Brown? (and obviously a fair amount of other songs like his.) I listen to a fair amount of Mo-Town and now James Brown kick and the like but it's usually more on the upbeat and funky side.

The Numero Group put out various soul label compilations called Eccentric Soul. They're compilations from old soul labels featuring a variety of groups. I'd recommend previewing them to find the sound you like. Some of the stuff is upbeat, but there is plenty features slower stuff.

Eccentric Soul

And something like this in particular might be similar to what you're after.

Dusty Groove is a good online record shop with all sorts of soul, jazz, and funk. It may be worth digging around on there a bit as well.

Also, some Otis Redding might float your boat.

I'm looking for something with a nice strong bass and/or drum line. Exact genre isn't a big deal, it can be D&B, UK bass, techno, electro-industrial, whatever, but I don't really want singing (some vocals are okay, just no singing). Examples include Justice, from the first page (such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lodWFJJIOkg), This Morn Omina (such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EagS_11RB8), some Pendulum, (Blood Sugar and Salt in the Wounds, namely), etc.

I would hope that you have Pendulum's Hold Your Color album because that's exactly what they sounded like back then (jerks). Although there's a good bit of singing there.
I can only really speak to you on the DNB angle. I would check out Spor, some of his music has vocals but most doesn't and its pretty hard stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRVKb2VJYiA This is probably one of his more popular tracks. He also has an electro alias, Feed Me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6ILV4hjc6U You should really like this track, it's got a little bit of vocals but it also has a really deep bassline and I think you'll like the drums.

I'm also a huge fan of Shock One. Definitely on the other side of the genre from Spor. He's got a mish mash of vocal and non vocal tracks, I picked a couple I thought you would like. Some have some vocals but very little.

http://www.youtube.com/user/NeurofunkGrid Here's a great Youtube channel where you can sample some great DnB.

There's also liquid which has some really good non vocal tracks but at the same time vocals are incredibly prevalent with a lot of artists. Here's a decent example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH627fyAxpA

There's a ton more names I could give you but it's a really broad genre so if you like any of that I can point you to stuff that's similar.

So I found a couple tracks on some of this German DJs sets that a friend of mine showed me, and I really like them a lot. Trouble is that I don't really know how to find more like them other than to listen to the guy's sets, which is kinda inefficient.

Here are the tracks that I thought were cool:

I grew up listening to this stuff all the time and had almost forgotten about it. Also, anything modern influenced by it would be interesting to hear (see: GaGa's Alejandro)

2) I'm also looking for some awesome baroque pop - really orchestral and dramatic pop music like Sparks and Electric Light Orchestra. Can be from any era, doesn't bother me. I hear a modern band called British Sea Power is keeping this sound alive, haven't checked them out, though.

So this may be a strange request, but does anyone know what you would call music with a big orchestra and tons of people singing? I was wasting time on youtube and decided to listen to a bunch of European national anthems and really like the big orchestra behind a bunch of people singing in harmony; is there a word for this or does this stuff just exist in national anthem type songs?
I guess some examples would be the French (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlOA4mLIwq8&feature=related) and Italian (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uDyOLgf2jo&feature=related) national anthems

I am a huge sucker for orchestral pop/rock. I am going to assume you have all the Beatles, Beach Boys, and possibly The Zombies so I can skip them. My suggestions might not be as rock or poppy as Sparks or some ELO, but I will try to cover a large range of styles, hope you like at least a few.

The Divine Comedy: witty Irish chamber pop.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqNtOCxJn24

Ed Harcourt: singer/songwriter chamber pop rock
http://youtu.be/6wBuCfTe3rk

Billy Nicholls: one of the forgotten gems of the 60's
http://youtu.be/kXajMnidL38

Harry Nilsson: first two albums, Pandemonium Shadow Show and Aerial Ballet, are pure gold

Elbow: The Seldom Seen Kid is an amazingly beautiful album

bonus BBC orchestra version: http://youtu.be/fX0B9ZpdZEA

Bill Ricchini: kind of like Ed Harcourt but American
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mgEo3ZkYPw

Dr. Dog: some of the stuff they put out reminds me of ELO
http://youtu.be/5MDerXi42cQ

Florence and the Machine: huge voice over equally huge music
http://youtu.be/Da6bBKLPEGg

Oh No Ono: proggy electro pop from Denmark with a throw everything at it wall of sound approach
http://youtu.be/3tHZWzOcF1M

Stornoway British Indie Folk
http://youtu.be/miHWQUA201Q

Johnny Flynn: awesome baroque folk pop
http://youtu.be/HBC-KroRy5o

Sean Lennon son of John Lennon and Yoko
http://youtu.be/BCVim78vmUM

The Polyphonic Spree massive band/choir/cult led by the former lead singer of Tripping Daisy
http://youtu.be/--rWZTfWRkE

Shearwater: indie folk from a former member of Okkervil River, might be the most depressing song ever
http://youtu.be/IRZKtrQXf6A

Camera Obscura: Phil Spector Wall of Sound girl group meets indie pop from Scotland
http://youtu.be/O3CkfvYMCWM

There is a band called Pilotdrift, they sound a bit like Sparks mixed with a Danny Elfman score for a Tim Burton movie. Sadly YouTube only has a few of their songs and not the better ones.

The other three Luomo LPs are not quite as good (still loving excellent obvsly), but more traditionally "deep house" if that's a virtue. Tbf, in general I don't really enjoy music that tries to sound like Vocalcity, poo poo rarely clicks the same way Tessio or Synkro do. I'd recommend Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Herbert, Robert Owens, Michael Mayer and Edfemin, off the top of my head.

I would also add Larry Heard (aka mr. fingers and others) to ras hai's list if you are interested in a historical standpoint as he is often consider the father of deep house. In my own estimation that simplification is just as harmful as helpful, but it's a notable idea to consider.

Man my mind is kinda hitting a blank for some reason when it comes to similar artists...Eliane Radigue maybe? Or Eleh? Z'EV? Keith Rowe? No-one quite nails minimal ambiance the way he does...

In the Pendulum's Embrace, Suspension, Persona, Triste and the Intermission 2000-2008 compilation are all wonderful records. I'm not too familiar with most of his colloborations but the album he did with Z'EV, Spirit Transform Me, is really good.

Stuck in the middle with you.
I'm looking for a bit of instrumental metal music. The best example I've got (and one of my favorites) is The Crusade by Trivium. Eight minutes of really great guitar riffs and drumwork. It sounds very technical to me, and the chords all have an easy-to-follow structure and melody - like this song could have some awesome lyrics to go with it, but it doesn't need them, because it's just that badass :smug:

I've heard some other stuff from friends, but frankly a lot of it is just too chaotic. They sound like they're trying to prove how cool they are by playing random guitar notes as fast as possible with a literal wall of sound coming from the drums, and you can't make out anything intelligible.

Sounds a little spergy, I guess, but I like good metal music that I can understand, not just madness set to music.

Anyone know of anything worth listening to?
