I think this question is within the scope of this thread: I have seen 2 AC/DC "box sets" on iTunes, one is 79.99 and is all the studio albums, there's also a 99.99 set that adds live albums. Would either of these be worth getting or would sticking to certain individual albums be better?

So I just listened to Slint - Spiderland, and it's pretty much my favourite album at the moment. What other stuff will I like? I heard it's post-rock, but it isn't like GY!BE are the stuff I'd usually call post-rock.

Gonna assume you already know bands like Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, etc. Oh, Karate might be another good one for you. edit- My brother also came up with Engine Kid, Polvo, Ganger, and A Minor Forest. funkybottoms fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jan 16, 2013 |

El Gallinero Gros posted:I've been familiar with m83 for a while, but their new album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming REALLY grabbed my attention, particularly Midnight City (good lookin' out to whoever nominated it for album of the year in the NMD thread). Any recommendations for similar acts? I really like shoegaze so no need to recommend based on that aspect of their act, but any help would be appreciated. Asobi Seksu is a good dream pop band that the NMD Indie thread introduced me to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8paDhfGQH4E is one of their more famous songs.

Looking for recs to The Glitch Mob - A Dream Within A Dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3MH4l1-t_8 I'm really digging this particular song because it reminds me of a more moderate, melodic Aphex Twin - Windowlicker; I love the vocals and the rich layering of instruments. I've been a fan of edIT for a while, but his stuff doesn't sound like that particular song.

I heard it's post-rock, but it isn't like GY!BE are the stuff I'd usually call post-rock. Like everything recommended so far is golden, but Rusty by Rodan is like a crunchier carbon copy of Spiderland, and everything by Shipping News is really really close to what that album was laying down, so if if you want some very direct recommendations there's that edit: And post-rock is a pretty commodious genre that is awfully prone to being projected upon, but there is definitely one strain that's sparse/brooding/artsy-fartsy that was popular in the 90s, and one strain that is twinkly/majestic/dramatic that's popular now-ish. I definitely prefer the former, which is why I don't get much traction out of the post-rock thread here which from numerous glances seems mostly to be about the latter. quadrophrenic fucked around with this message at 12:43 on Jan 18, 2013 |

I'm curious as to whether anyone could help me find some electronic music with a cyberpunkish feel that isn't overtly dark drum & bass sounding. Stuff kind of like Mosh: http://iammosh.bandcamp.com/, Nero's more house-ish tracks, or Yoko Kanno's stuff for Ghost in the Shell. So essentially the darker, more experimental side of house, soundtracks to Cyberpunk movies or abandoned projects, and music similar to either. Witch House is also good, as is some of the more melodic side of Industrial music.

This may be stretching it, but tell him to check out Leonard Cohen's "Waiting for the Miracle" or "Chelsea Hotel". It's nowhere near as soul crushing, but Cohen himself describes a lot of his music as broken and sorrowful. Maybe Alabama 3's "Too Sick to Pray"? Give em a shot!

Cloudkicker's early stuff may fit the bill, it's also a bit atmospheric and post-metalish at times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lIXxlHGOn8 Another band that is probably worth checking out is Chimp Spanner - he may be even more in line with what you like as he also came out of the big djent fad that produced so many bands a couple of years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72RP8lvHcqc

This compilation is amazing and spans most of the Muslim world, so its not just Arab music. It is prohibitively expensive though. http://www.amazon.com/The-Music-Islam-Boxed-Set/dp/B000005Z42. Sublime Frequencies also has some great compilations, but most of those focus on Western influenced stuff. I''m no sure what you mean entirely but here is some great Arab music with little western influence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa_zc_M-2w8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv4Zqtu5O70 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWddWhpKrmM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fRnASdbUo0 You'll probably hate this one but Persian pop music is so awesome I couldn't resist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQQM5YALkoE Those '60s belly dance compilations can be good if not a little sanitized for western audiences. I made this playlist on Spotify a while ago http://open.spotify.com/user/doodochaser/playlist/3ywPJMbnntvZeDqFwlOpQw but it is a mix of traditional and pop music so you'll have to dig around.

This is so incredibly broad I'll just take the liberty of posting a few personal favorites - may be some braggadocio, but I used to have the same problems with rap/hip hop so I don't think you should find it too offensive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Z2EmU-_Vo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewc1hixzYPY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoW0dZasOEE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl-pjb7y3y0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajk0kEi41Vc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzCukmO4fhg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5R4T0yW5_4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yR31ogL3Fg You might like some older '90s hip hop.

I don't actually dislike the westernised stuff, it's just that I'm already familiar with enough of that already. Arabic classical I'm not very familiar with, so I know it's a vague request. I've heard bits and pieces though and loved it. I prefer the slower, haunting songs, but the wedding dances and whatever are still good.

Those suggestions are good on their own but it's not really what I'm looking for, tbh. I'm not really a fan of surf-influenced hardcore punk. I know Dead Kennedys aswell as a little more obscure bands of the genre, like Man or Astro-Man? but I feel like they take most of their inspirations from the harder, Dick Dale-ish surf rock. I prefer the more subtle surf guitar, from the likes such as The Ventures, The Shadows and The Chantays. Heavily reverbed, nasal guitar sounds. To give a more modern example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax8eMnKGO-w And this type of guitar sound I'm looking for. Dick Dale and Dead Kennedys stuff makes me feel rebelious; Blue Stingrays and The Tornados make me feel transcendental - that's what I want. If you know what I mean.
