xcore posted:(beatles) Thing is, the Beatles pushed a lot of boundaries for their time. Not all of their "experimental stuff" is like Revolution #9 - a lot of it is pretty accessible by today's standards. Revolver is my personal favourite, and I wouldn't say it's super out there or anything, but it's got a bit of a raw, "let's try out some new ideas" feel to it. It only has a bit of "eastern influence"  if he can handle that. Rubber Soul has a similar feel.Abbey Road isn't crazy, but again it's pretty inventive. But I don't think it would offend anyone who doesn't like trippy stuff. The White Album is another pretty straight shot album that anyone would like, and bonus, it's a double LP. Funny thing is, it's actually very experimental. But only a few of the tracks (including Revolution #9) are super out there - the rest are very accessible, and a lot of really widely loved mid-career tracks are on it.

Tommy Callahan posted:I've recently started watching The Boondocks and am surprised with the awesome types of music in the show. They even have MF DOOM and Madvillain, which are some of my favorite hip-hop acts. On a recent episode they were playing a beat which incorporated chinese instruments into it, and I was instantly hooked. I've been desperately trying to find some more hip-hop infused with chinese instruments. Any ideas? Here's one classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnbHQd0QBKs

I'm really into artists like Amon Tobin and pretty much everyone under the Ninja Tune label. However, I'm not really sure how to classify the music that they make. I've heard Amon Tobin primarily called a DnB artist but others disagree. Anyways, what are some good, for the lack of a better word, electronic artists along the same lines? I'm into Bonobo and started listening to some DeadMau5 (which people tend to look down on for some reason), but I want something really good in that general realm of music.

I have no idea if any goon is like me and listens to bands like Go Radio, but if so... does anyone know any other band with the same level of musicianship and lyrical greatness? I just feel like any other song I hear can't touch the heart the band (or specifically, Jason Lancaster) puts into its music.

I think I post a similar request to this one every half year or so when I run out of the stuff or get a late night urge for it but I want disturbing music. Stuff that makes your heart go weird and gives you nightmares. Something like The Drift by Scott Walker or The Big Bubble by The Residents maybe.

In descending order of relevance: Stuff in the "Rock in opposition" movement: Univers Zero (Heresie is my favourite) Art Zoyd - musique pour l'odyssée Henry Cow Also check out Gyorgy Ligeti (he made the creepy choir music in 2001: A Spacy Odyssey), Arnold Schönberg, and Edgar Varese's The Desert. A bit different, but you might also like Magma (check out Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh). It's like if Carl Orff made creepy minimalist jazz in a constructed language from a fictional society on a distant planet after the earth has ended. edit: totally different, but I really really like The Carny by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.

I rep him a lot, but pretty much everything by Leyland Kirby. V/Vm being his oldest and most hosed up alias: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eFgRXy432U V/Vm was a pretty hilarious project, but unfortunately it got him into all sorts of legal trouble, so he started to do creepy Shining-influenced haunted ballroom jazz warpings as The Caretaker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9i8xFGN0BE His stuff as Leyland Kirby is totally worthwhile too.

Any other bands similar to The Naked And Famous? I know they're heavily-influenced by M83 but I prefer their catchier style over the often drone/shoegazey approach of M83. I've heard of Passion Pit, Tim and Jean and Abe Vigoda already.

It's a fantastic instrumental bluegrass album, and a great introduction to the careers of all three of those musicians.

I want to make a slideshow of my year+ round-the-world solo backpacking trip in windows movie maker, and I'm looking for totally rad songs to go with it. I think I may need 10+ minutes so 3-4 suggestions would be awesome. What songs really get your imagination fired up when you hear them? Think party, scenery, alone, political violence, food, etc. shots. There are tons ^^ edit: Off topic, but if you have a recommendation for software other than Windows Movie Maker that would be sweet too. Hopefully cheap, and easy to put pictures to music with artistic captions flying all over the place. Also! I'd like to know a nice way to sort my pics if possible. I'm not gonna go for a 1-to-1 picture to day ratio, but it'd be nice to be able to sort my stuff date/time-wise to provide a smooth timeline.

A couple of oddly specific requests: I want catchy, not especially abrasive industrial music I could put in an '80s mix. Something like All Day Remix by Ministry, or Feurio! by Einsturzende Neubauten. Also, are there any good bootlegs of the last Jacksons tour with Michael, when they performed stuff from Thriller?

Not great for party/food scenes, but other stuff yes. For something cheesily topical, try ELO's Stepping Out, or Jerry Garcia/John Kahn I've been all around this world. Party/food, if it were me I'd go with some funk. James Brown has instant party results.

Hmm, thanks for the suggestions and personally I like the music so far, but it's not what I have in mind for the video. Something inspirational, emotional, radical, maybe a little more pop...I guess that's why I was thinking of doing 3-4 songs for it. Any other idea? What would you want to listen to for inspiration while looking at travel photos?

It's been about 2 years since Mew released No More Stories, and instead of continuing to re-listen to their back catalog, I'd like to check out other bands with similar sounds. I really like the catchy dark pop sound they do so well and the mixture of the high vocals and the way he holds the words and gives them a soft, distant feel.

I just caught myself up on a year's worth of posts in this thread and now I have a list of 40+ arists and albums to check out. This thread is incredible! But unfortunately, I have not found what I was specifically browsing for. I need to find heavy synth-based electronic music that frequently uses arpeggiation and evokes themes and moods of mysterious, almost alien-like qualities. Music similar to The Knife's album "Silent Shout", including and especially the title track and Austra's self-titled, including the song "Beat and the Pulse". If it helps, I'm in love with Depeche Mode's mid-80s era (like the b-side "In Your Memory") and anything Björk puts out (like "Army of Me"). In regards to The Knife, I prefer Silent Shout over their older stuff, and Karin Dreijer's Fever Ray material is a big favorite. EDIT: In fact, anything like what I've posted would be awesome.

I've heard Amon Tobin primarily called a DnB artist but others disagree.  but it's kind of agreed on that it's a dumb name, so I will say it in another way. An experimental everything artist would be Aphex Twin (megathread here), and I would recommend looking into that direction.

I recently discovered this band called The Pepper Pots. They are a currently active band from Spain (I think) that makes upbeat soul music from an era that's older than I am. I love bands that make new old music. HERE'S A LINK TO A GOOD'N I'm interested in more artists like this, either similarly making sort of anachronistic music, or just making the same style as this group from back when it was something you could hear on the radio.

So the other day I just started hearing some reggae, with no prior experience into it I need some recommendation on more reggae like the kind I've been listening to. So far, I really like Alboroise's songs, mostly from his Rough Tune 2007 album, so like Kingston Town. I also heard a few songs by Damian Marley and I like it a lot too. Any other recommendation for someone completely new to reggae? I guess the only experience i had is with Shaggy and some of the classic Bob Marley songs links to what I've really liked so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNUdSgc0eh8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gixI2thU-8A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GZlJGERbvE swagger like us fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Jul 2, 2011 |

Sorry if this is weird or too specific, but can anyone recommend songs with beats similar to these? Army of the Pharaohs - Dump the Clip Celph Titled - Real Villains Apathy & Celph Titled - Drink Specials I realize that Celph Titled is the common thing between these songs, but I dug through all of The Gatalog/AOTP albums and youtube/last.fm/Grooveshark/etc and didn't find much I liked. I didn't really like Jedi Mind Tricks either, maybe I'm just picky & retarded

Brace posted:Michael Frank - Lotus Blossom Let's see - right now it would be classified as new weird america, so I can recommend: The Oaks, Calexico, Iron & Wine, Plants & Animals, Destroyer. But, if you're looking for some relaxing music I would take into account either some post rock - Do, Make, Say, Think, Balmorhea, Dancing Beggar, or some drone - Stars of the Lid. I used to find good folk bands on KUT, but now can't get the grasp of the new design - so here's a youtube search. unpurposed posted:I'm really into artists like Amon Tobin and pretty much everyone under the Ninja Tune label. However, I'm not really sure how to classify the music that they make. I've heard Amon Tobin primarily called a DnB artist but others disagree. Take a look at Flying Lotus - though I'm not a fan of it, it's in similar veins as Amon Tobin. Besides that I'd say that every glitch/trip-hop artist lands under the wings of either Ninja Tune, or Warp, so, already mentioned Aphex Twin, but also Gonja Sufi, Prefuse 73, Autechre. You might also check Ous Mal edit: forgot to mention - thanks to the person that mentioned Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - it's a great listen. canis minor fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Jul 2, 2011 |

swagger like us posted:So the other day I just started hearing some reggae, with no prior experience into it I need some recommendation on more reggae like the kind I've been listening to. Those Alborosie songs are straight riffing on early '80s dancehall/deejay, such as: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBJPJKU7kuk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVDkBBsdhe8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmICNNX0_ak http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af3kbT682YA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpivgO3QFbo (Jamaican music leans pretty heavily on the familiar tunes of earlier generations, a lot of hit songs use old instrumentals ("riddims")) Modern dancehall favours the rougher stylings of Kartel, Mavado et al: http://youtu.be/E0K5brjDO_E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Glui5pKNYlU&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrygQNlV3b0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymDA_4PNlKM But there's still people making "deep and rootsy" tunes, it's not as good as classic deejay stuff but there's some gems, and there was a lot of good stuff in this vein in the '90s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYpX2W-nimE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1ZB1gjKvJY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBqbTPKl8m0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kji2qk771pQ Reggae is a singles genre - I don't even know which album, if any, most of these songs are on - so you're better off searching for good compilations. Try, for examples, King Jammy's Selectors Choice Vol. 1, Rough Inna Town - The Xterminator Sound, Conscious Ragga Vol. 2, Rastafari Lives - Best of Roots Vol. 1, and such. I'll shut up now.
