I'm looking for electronic songs with a hard, epic melody. For example: 2 Unlimited - Twilight Zone Dance Dance Revolution Extreme - Paranoia Survivor Max Wumpscut - Soylent Green Apologies if I don't use the correct terminologies/genres. I'm a very casual listener.

Eight Is Legend posted:Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know [dBerrie Remix] It certainly has an epic quality, but it isn't nearly hard enough. By "hard", I mean "in-your-face powerful". But nothing too insane. Something between this and this.

I have kind of a strange and challenging request. This is for a game I play with friends at which I suck and have grown tired of sucking. It's a little like fantasy football but with songs -- you "win" by suggesting songs other players rate highly and don't already know. I would like recommendations for songs that are -Obscure -Likeable for as broad a swath of people in their 20s or 30s as possible. The target is about 50% from NYC/Brooklyn and 40% from elsewhere in the US or Canada. -(optional) At least 2 years old In return, here's the list of songs that have been suggested already http://www.bradybutterfield.com/mtt/sumSong_1-22.html (Apologies for how slow it loads. Songs at the top did better than those lower down. Note that many of the really good songs were only obscure for a brief moment in time of that game and blew up soon after, e.g. most of the very top ones. That's why I want the 2+ year old ones... if a song is going to blow up in the near future it sort of defeats the "discover good music you wouldn't have otherwise" purpose of the game.) Since this question isn't the kind of thing one can answer definitively you can PM me if you prefer, I don't want to gently caress up the thread. VVVVVVV Understood. Other, similarly hopeless players have done the pitchfork thing but I'll troll the indie rock/pop thread again and google around some more. pangstrom fucked around with this message at 00:48 on May 31, 2012 |

I really really really don't want this thread to turn into "post your favorite indie song" so judging by that list of songs (I'm assuming they're ordered from most successful to least) I would suggest you just go look up the Pitchfork top 50 albums/top 100 tracks of the year posts for the past 10 years. Maybe branch out into Boomkat if your friends are more amenable to electronic music, and maybe look at PopMatters and Stereogum or something too. Oh, also M.O.P. - Ante Up

I don't like a lot of straight up prog (RPWL or any of the straight up 70's prog sounds, although I listen to it often because there's simply nothing else out there like it. I tried listening to The Mars Volta on somebody's recommendation (based on the odd time signatures and technical stuff) and the odd time signatures and technical stuff is cool but I can't stand their voices, same with Circa Survive. I've recently can't get enough of Dead Letter Circus. Who else might I like? Have you listened to Pain of Salvation? Their album 'The Perfect Element, Part 1' is a good starting place.

I just realised that after years of loving anything pumped out by The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster I've never really heard anyone else that sounds similar. So is there anyone out there that has the same sound/energy???

What you need is more surf/horror punk from which they also took notes. Start with the whole Necessary Evils - The Sicko Inside Me LP (warning: it's one of the heaviest garage rock albums ever made), then check out The Beguiled - Blue Dirge (people from NE, but with a more pronounced surf), Fireworks - Set The World On Fire, The Dwarves - Horror Stories, Rock'n'Roll Adventure Kids - Hillbilly Psychosis, Blowtops - Blackstatic. Basically, stay away from campy horror poo poo like late 90s Misfits. They play up the kitch but mostly tone down the fuzz. After you check the above albums, you'll be able to tell the difference in the approach right away.

I have been listening to a Celtic harp album recently, Morning Aire, and also the compilation album Celtic Treasure. The attractive part isn't just it being celtic but it calls to mind kind of a fantasy feel. Any more music with that fantasy and majestic atmoshpere, folk/traditional or orchestral, western or eastern, would be great.

I'm here for more funky-rear end-poo poo. Here's poo poo I know about and love: James Brown JB's early Tower of Power The Roots Outkast Kanye Jay-Z Big K.R.I.T. Fela Kuti Antibalas Beastie Boys de la soul gorillaz MF DOOM Parliament-Funkadelic A Tribe Called Quest some Mos-Def Black Star Herbie Hancock (Headhunters) El-P Jamiroquai Medeski Martin & Wood Soulive I know that's a huge-rear end list. But maybe it could double as recommendations for people to check out looking for the same stuff? Anyone got Funk, Hip-hop, or afrobeat acts to share with me? With Hip-Hop, it's all about the beats for me. I checked out Lil Wayne's Tha Carter on someone's recommendation but I really didn't like any of the beats. I want more funk/soul/jazz inspired stuff, though more electronic hip-hop like El-P was fine. I dunno, some rap just sounds like someone spent a few minutes on a drum machine and I end up not liking it. e: I checked out most of the stuff from ~year ago when I asked the same question. I just didn't want to make the list too long by adding it all: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3056853&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=115#post394677018 Mahasamatman fucked around with this message at 12:25 on Jun 7, 2012 |

Unless I missed it, it looks like Sly and the Family Stone is sorely missing from that list (e: you should really listen to There's a Riot Goin' On). Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins' solo work shouldn't be ignored either. Check out The Brothers Johnson too, Louis is another master of the funk bass. Don't forget The Isley Brothers. For hip hop, I've been listening to Chali 2na, Jurassic 5 and Dj Format. They usually use funky/soul inspired samples. Digable Planets is another big group to check out. Don't sleep on producers influenced by soul or funk either, Dr. Dre, Nujabes and 9th Wonder for instance. E: Can't believe I forgot J Dilla, wow. Donuts is just full of great soulful beats. x!te bike fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jun 7, 2012 |

So I've been playing Bastion and listening to the soundtrack, and it reminded me of something I've wanted to get into more for a good while. A couple of tracks from the Bastion soundtrack to illustrate it (it's really the guitar more than the drums/effects)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKf5Cc2EGv0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mDWzu5yxLg I think my first expose to this kind of stuff was the Firefly soundtrack. It also reminds me of Earth's later stuff, but Earth's stuff if definitely more airier. It's like a kind of... "tumbleweed country", or something. The problem is I don't really know what to call this kind of genre. Does anyone have any pointers?
