I'm looking for some nice ambient music to listen through my headphones whilst I'm reading or working. I've been using Brian Eno's 'Music for Airports' and the Blade Runner soundtrack for a while, so anything else like that would be greatly appreciated.

Might seem a bit of an odd choice, but some of Klause Schulze's work might interest you. http://yt.cl.nr/8xhz-QUAX1c Aphex Twin's 'Selected Ambient works 1985 - 1992' is pretty much a classic. Bass Communion's stuff is nice, but might be a bit too ambient and drone-y. Steve Reich's 'Phases' are pretty cool too, as are his Electric Counterpoint works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PZaen25MnU

Thanks, that's exactly the kind of stuff I am looking for. Oh, and I had completely misplaced Aphex Twin's ambient work in my head! 'Xtal' and 'Rhubarb' are beautiful.

I find Kashiwa Daisuke and James Ferraro to be excellent for studying. Ferarro on occasional has voices but its not really singing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh6eT_zhmRg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7u-xHPNIco

Eluvium - Talk Through The Trees is the perfect album for this. It's beautiful, uses a full range of frequencies, and extremely repetitive.

Mahasamatman posted: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. I keep remembering great recommendations for this request: Madlib and everyone he collaborates with (Madvillain with DOOM) for sure. Edit: I'll also link these [1], [2]. Does anyone have any more "food rap"? It's such a ridiculous and great concept that I need to listen to more of it. x!te bike fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jun 13, 2012 |

I know this isn't quite in line with the OP, so please forgive me if this is the wrong place: I've been on the hunt for a couple days now for blogs, or even just one, that write about music. Not album reviews, concert reviews, or "this thing is happening" because I can find that poo poo anywhere. I want to read people analyzing trends, discussing the merits of various technologies being used in various mediums, and talking about copyright and the history of music technology and such. Does this exist or am I just too much of a nerd for my own good? Multiple blogs are fine too, considering I don't necessarily expect one to analyze trends and technology as well as copyright and history.

'70s stuff, roughly in order of increasing strangeness: Steely Dan, Mandrill, Caravan, King Crimson (first four albums only), Van der Graaf Generator, Gong, early Magma (Kobaia, 1001 Degrees Centigrade, The Unnamables) Also '90s alternative band Morphine.

This is kind of a broad request, but I'm looking for historically significant, well-researched, or otherwise excellent compilation albums that kind of perfectly encapsulate a specific genre, scene, or movement and feature some artists who aren't widely known. Like what Some Bizzare Album is for early British synthpop, and the Nuggets compilations are for psychedelic and garage rock. I'm especially looking for something relating to old school hip hop, '80s electro, any jazz subgenre predating Miles Davis, and any period of classical music, but I'd be open to most things. I'm kind of in a rut and I want a good compilation album to help me get into something new.

Well for 80s electro, the street sounds compilation series was essential to defining the sound in the UK during the 80s http://www.discogs.com/label/Street%20Sounds In general though, I enjoy compilations from soul jazz, strut, bbe and numero group. If you browse through their catalogs I'm sure you will find some interesting stuff.

PoisonedV posted: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. How about all of the above? Then definitely check out Dead Can Dance, particularly the releases between (but not including) their first and last (which are good but have a different feel). Here's the Dead Can Dance reunion thread with lots of info and starting points, plus links to free music. I also get a certain fantasy/medieval vibe from British electrofolk like Fairport Convention, especially the album Liege and Lief.

Liege and Lief essentially invented folk-rock and lots of other stuff that involved their lead singer at the time Sandy Denny has a similar fantasy/almost mystical vibe. She was way cool. I also really like the medieval direction that Fairport take on some of their albums two of the other stand outs are Full House and Nine (especially the track Hexamshire Lass)

For medievalist British folk I'd also look at Gryphon, specifically their first two albums as they became more of a progressive rock band after that. They're not light and airy, though—more loud and bawdy and with crumhorns and bassoons and stuff. They're awesome, though, and their version of The Unquiet Grave (aka Cold Blows the Wind) is my favorite. Also Forest's album Full Circle is, like, the best British folk album ever but isn't widely hailed as a masterpiece—I think I've listened to it more than any other album this past year. A lot of it's in a medieval vein, and of course my absolute favorite track (Graveyard) is the only one that doesn't seem to be on youtube. Quite a few people making GBS threads on the vocals in the comments here, and there's definitely an affected harshness to them (even more pronounced in Hawk the Hawker), but I love them. Reminds me a bit of Colin Molloy.

Paging Ras Het: stumbled across some comps on Spotify after making a typo (maybe you don't know anything about this? You've seemed to know a lot about comps of non-western music that's all). They are awesome recordings entitled "Anthologie De Musique _______" and are centered on various West and Central African states (Congo, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, and a few more)? The artist comes up as Jos Gansemans but that's sorta dubious especially since these are comps of huge groups of artists/performers. I can't find anything about these really on the internet. Do you know anything about these? And if you do, some similar stuff? I wish I could link to Youtubes of some of this stuff, because it is awesome. Here are some Spotify links of my favorites if nothing else: http://open.spotify.com/track/78p1Mi4wXASDwJ6XWJfuIY http://open.spotify.com/track/7vkKedRbtcvGu2LIsZhycr global tetrahedron fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Jun 19, 2012 |

There are tons of socially-conscious/political rappers, and even the ones that aren't really known for it can't help but touch on issues in their music. That said, the above-mentioned Dead Prez, The Coup (and the Boots/Tom Morello collaboration Street Sweeper Social Club), The Roots, Public Enemy, Gang Starr/Jeru the Damaja, Mos Def, Arrested Development, Jungle Brothers, Poor Righteous Teachers, and X-Clan are all groups/people you should check out. While you're at it, definitely listen to some Gil Scott-Heron and the Last Poets.

I listened to Lavender Blue by Burl Ives, and really liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYrdEBLecZg. I would love to find more music like that, however most of it is kind of twangy banjo country music. Anybody know of some artists/compilation albums that feature more of that kind of beautifully simple and relaxed music from that time. Thanks.
