Missing Name posted:She's already heard both the "Worst" and "Best" music. I need something new to make her ears bleed. Play a 12 tone opera. Even the most ardent supporters would probably admit that they are a definite acquired taste and, let's say, difficult to appreciate on first exposure. Anything by Berg or Schoenberg (Lulu, Wozzeck, Moses und Aron) Or if you really want to torture her, 1984 the opera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LjEizV-Rjk

Looking for music similar to The Living End's first album, their self-titled. (I haven't heard anything past their second album, should I dive deeper into their catalog?) I'm more attracted to the swing time, quality song writing, lively Gretsch tone, and ripping solos. And not so much the idealistic 1950s tinge. Maybe something like The Gaslight Anthem but without being embarrassingly tryhard. Basically: skillful, melodic, and technical punk/rockabilly that's less about image and more about substance.

Looking for upbeat, family-friendly, preferably non-vocal (or if it is, keep it family friendly), unique electronic music for use while instructing cardio (kickboxing / taekwondo) classes. The most specific example I have is Deadmau5's Moar Ghosts 'n' Stuff and Some Chords but only after about 1 or 2 minutes in after the long intro that would kill any cardio pump I worked so hard to build up in the class. In about 3 months I'm going to be back to teaching kickboxing-type classes again. I used to do these with a friend, and he always supplied his own music (which was mostly korean pop stuff). I pretty much just listen to progressive music (mostly lots of metal), and my experience in electronic music doesn't fit the bill (daft punk except a few choice tunes I'll put in, dj's from ninja tunes, kavinsky and other 80's synth revival stuff, glitch hop stuff, experimental music). I really don't like dubstep, and I'm certain that most of the middle aged moms in my classes won't like it either. I've gone through the last several pages in the house/electro/synth thread and although a lot of the stuff in there was really cool (Oizo, Amon Tobin, SLDGHMR vs You Love Her Coz Shes Dead), I honestly didn't find anything I thought was appropriate for what I'm looking for. Except for Bestrack's Workout 2000, that was awesome.

Pogobubba posted:any help finding more hard, syncopated, and mathy grooves along those lines would be greatly appreciated. Bonus points for heaviness and/or dissonance. Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies - "Hurrah! Another Year, Surely This One Will Be Better Than the Last; The Inexorable March of Progress Will Lead Us All to Happiness" should fit the bill pretty well. Also, any time someone brings up mathrock, I have to mention NoMeansNo. They are the daddies. Late 80s existential hardcore jazzpunk. Like, put Oingo-Boingo, Miles Davis and The Ramones in a blender and them make them play proto-thrash songs about the rebellion against identity. FrozenLederhosen posted:Yessss, thank you so much. All of these are just what I'm looking for. I can double-recommend the Doomtree collective. Get your hands on Sims - "Badtime Zoo" with rapidity. Might do Noah23 as another recommendation. Some quality technical honky fastrap. Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:Looking for upbeat, family-friendly, preferably non-vocal (or if it is, keep it family friendly), unique electronic music for use while instructing cardio (kickboxing / taekwondo) classes. I generally think house music and disco are lazy and stupid, so, when I recommend Pepe Bradock - "Synthese" as some genuinely good deep house, it's begrudgingly. Basically I am a huge house-racist, and I still get down to this. OH SNAP I FORGOT MY REQUEST. So, anyway, what I'm looking for is stuff that's not really sonically related, but conceptually related. I'm looking for re-imaginings of popular works. Stuff like Easystar All-star's "Dub Side of the Moon" or The Bird and the Bee's "Interpreting the Masters, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall & John Oates". So, I guess I'm looking for covers that involve one group extensively covering another? Ork of Fiction fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Jul 23, 2013 |

Lt Greatsocks posted:The only band that's really that close to your exact request is Ghosts and Vodka. I guess. At least this is Already love Ghosts & Vodka - I believe I was actually the first to post them in the math rock thread a couple of years ago. Like more than a couple other math rock bands, their affliction of Three Guitarist Syndrome renders them a bit too dense to achieve the sound I was looking for, although You Slut! kind of manage it. If you love math rock drumming you should check out By The End Of Tonight's demo, In A Letter To The Sandbox. Through a miracle of self-indulgent playing and bad mixing, the drummer creates quite a spectacle. I also know Don Cab, but not Barky. I'll have to check them out. appropriatemetaphor posted:Marnie Stern has a math rocky but dancy sound: This seems very much along the lines of what I was looking for - thanks! Hooplah posted:You're looking for Cinemechanica. The Foals album Antidotes also reminds me of Adebisi Shank a bit, but they're hardly math rock. Whatever, maybe you'll like them. Or maybe DDMMYYY (math rock band names are stupid!!) These responses just keep getting better! The Martial Arts and Face Tat are two of my all time favorite albums, and everything else here will be listened to immediately. Ork of Fiction posted:Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies - "Hurrah! Another Year, Surely This One Will Be Better Than the Last; The Inexorable March of Progress Will Lead Us All to Happiness" This all sounds amazing too. I should really read the threads I post in more often. On a totally unrelated note and in sort of a cross-post from the "Where Should I Start With..." thread, can anyone recommend me some good renditions of Stravinsky, Bartok, or Chopin pieces?

Thanks for the input so far guys.Nice Davis posted:This is a little different from the Deadmau5 you posted, but have you thought about pulling tracks from various Dance Dance Revolution home releases? Here are a few songs that my mom liked from DDR Ultramix 2 that may work for you: I totally forgot about DDR stuff. Most of it I'd say is a little too... I don't know the word for it, but not really what I'm looking for as far as these classes. Maybe the last one (V for Extreme). NwahNerevar posted:Something like The Chemical Brothers maybe? Actually I really like the Chemical Brothers, but those don't do it either. They're a little too chill. Reminded me of Block Rockin Beats though, which I'm going to add to the playlist. Ork of Fiction posted:I generally think house music and disco are lazy and stupid, I agree with you, but while I also agree this is what I'd call good house, it's more something I'd listen to chilling on my back porch with a drink rather than teaching a cardio class trying to pump up people into kicking and sweating. I don't know if I'm being too specific. I really don't listen to this type of music, but I know it's generally what's played during these types of classes. The wife told me in most of her kickboxing classes the instructor would just play whatever current pop songs were popular, but I really can't stand that music so I don't want to go there. I did find some more stuff like I'm looking for and added more to my playlist, maybe this will help narrow down the suggestions: Instrumental stuff by David Guetta. Instrumental. Holy gently caress I can't stand any of his radio songs, but the instrumental songs like Metro Music, Dreams, Paris, Glasgow, and even the instrumental edit of Little Bad Girl should fit nicely into this mix. Letherette: D&T, Warstones... Classixx: Holding On, I'll Get You (probably not this one) Bestrack: I'll probably wait until after I've established myself a little more as the instructor before I bust this out but OH MY GOD THE 80'S ARE STRONG IN THIS ONE. Workout 2000 is probably the best album I've found in my quest for the best kickboxing class music. Maybe I'll just show up on day 1 in some  80's get up and blast this. It's like Olivia Newton John's Physical on cocaine.Stuff I already knew about but added to the playlist and figured it could help narrow down these recommendations even more: Daft Punk: Around the World, Robot Rock, etc Chemical Brothers: Block Rockin Beats Prodigy: Breathe (Zeds Dead Remix), (I really wish there was an instrumental version of Smack My Bitch Up, Funky poo poo, and Firestarter. Love those songs but not really appropriate) Should I just take this to the house/electro/synth thread??

Can anyone recommend me some instrumental bands? I guess the best way to describe what I'm looking for is Andy Mckee meets (parts of) Opeth (think Face of Melinda) with a dash of Mahavishnu Orchestra. Something jazzy and improvisational, acoustic instruments, lots of modes. I hope this isn't too hyper specific, but I have absolutely no idea where to start searching for music like this. I feel like someone might recommend a bunch of post rock stuff, but I'm looking for stuff that is more upbeat than post rock (perhaps slightly more virtuosic as well?)

I need something similar to this group Plone, and I havent been able to find anything that quite fits. Here are a couple examples http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h_B57x6Hbfg&feature=plpp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0_j0d0J9Bo I'm not very good at describing music or familiar with the genre and I need it for some specific purposes so... Bare with me. I need this for yoga music. I'm not really into the whole generic Indian music thing. I like this because it has a really relaxed feel to it but it's sort of active and upbeat I guess, fun but chill. I dont know, it's sorta just the vibe of it, you know? And it's kind of important that it is all instrumental. I don't really know what else to say, if I did I think I'd have more luck looking for something else.

Theme to Looker, one of my all time favorite cheeseball movies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7B6l0nBSXQ e: Thought you wanted instrumental for some reason. Also, the Bowie song is from the 90s. In any event, if lyrics are on the table then some perhaps too-obvious suggestions would be Depeche Mode and The Cure. If 90s are on the table then Apoptygma Berzerk and VNV Nation both feature dark synth sounds, but are pretty high tempo / dancey and probably not as atmospheric as you're looking for.

According to wikipedia, their genre is "Electronic, experimental, Icelandic, post-rock, folktronica, dream pop, trip hop, ambient, indie, lo-fi, glitch". So there ya go  I'd probably summarize it as ambient glitch -- though, surprisingly enough very little of it is electronic. Saw them in concert some years back and they have lots of quirky instruments -- seemingly everyone in the band plays multiple instruments, depending on the song -- that generate the majority of the sound, with a synth mostly used for a bassline or one part of the melody.

If you want to check out Radiohead, OK Computer is your best bet. It's a highly regarded album for a good reason.
