This is very good, thanks!

The album is pretty cool too in that it was created entirely by using samples from other songs. Another good track off the album:

Endtroducing and the first Dr. Octagon album were pretty much on repeat every day for me when they came out in '96.

Hey so it turns out I like pretty goofy metal? Pretty much me three favorite metal albums at this point are Slough Feg's "Traveller", Brendon Small's "Brendon Small's Galaktikon", and Devin Townsend's "Ziltoid the Omniscient".

Anything else along these lines I should know about?

Wormed are a ridiculously cheesy tech death band with lyrics about random sci-fi stuff. Gigan are similarly goofy tech-death.

Actually, tech death and power metal are goofy genres in general - I always giggle at Nile and Necrophagist track names, and stuff like Blind Guardian and Gamma Ray is fun and silly as hell.

So I got an email from a band called Atoms for Peace talking about their new tours, I never signed up for the newsletter but I checked out their stuff and I thought it was decent, so bought their album. A friend of mine said it was kind of like Radiohead? I've never really listened to Radiohead..

Atoms for Peace is strongly influenced by turn-of-the-century IDM, so you might like LP5 by Autechre or the Richard D James album by Aphex Twin. The Radiohead albums most similar to it are Amnesiac and The King of Limbs, probably.

Hey guys, I've been in search of some new music lately and I can't find anything and I don't like the suggestions i get from friends, but I've been looking for a Rock/Hard Rock artist, like System of A Down, or more of a indie rock artist like Cage the Elephant or Modest Mouse. Can someone find me something? Anything? I really need to expand my library.

Porcupine Tree are a guilty pleasure for me but In Absentia and In Fear of a Blank Planet are good and you might like them. Maybe you'd also like Wild Nothing, Deerhunter or Grizzly Bear.

Thanks for the suggestion Gamma Nerd but the music just isn't for me. I know i suggested indie music but I'm really looking for more of a rock band like System of A Down. I know I'm a picky about my music so don't worry about it. Keep sending bands my way, we'll find something eventually.

I mean, yeah, indie rock and alt-metal aren't really genres I know much about or have much interest in, but that's what you asked for. And if you just want more stuff like SOAD you could have said so and not given me the false impression that you were trying to be adventurous.

I'm looking for more country-ish stuff like this:

Supersuckers: Road Worn & Weary

Ween: Help me Scrape the Mucous off my Brain - specifically the live versions with the poo poo Creek boys but Youtube doesn't have those versions.

I am familiar with the standard outlaw stuff - Waylon, Willie, Kristofferson, Coe and so on. Drive By Truckers almost scratches the itch but they're a little too southern-fried rock & roll to be what I'm looking for. Merle Haggard probably comes the closest. It doesn't have to be classic country or anything.

I'm basically looking for songs which capture that 'Sunday morning hangover' feeling . Maybe I've emptied the well - I don't know.

Thank you - I'm vaguely familiar with both acts but hadn't thought about them in a long time. Refreshing my memory and losing it at the same time with some whiskey on the rocks. The Riders stuff is great. Cody gets a little too rockabilly sometimes but his country tunes hit the right mark.

I should also say I'm familiar with the well-known hippie-country of the Byrds and Burritos and Parsons.

I think that's what I'm after though - hippy country stuff (someone on Youtube called it ganjatonk, which is fitting). If anyone knows a good Grateful Dead live era (or solo Jerry) where they hit that sound I'd be thankful.

Yes.
Alright, this might be a bit of a long shot, but I just came across this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boR6xH-A_s0

Yup, Jeremy Soule's arrangement of Terra's Theme from Final Fantasy VI. It's goddamned awesome.

I also just discovered the massive OCRemix compilation where they've just taken the full soundtrack and gone absolutely hogwild with it. It's an amazing collection of work and a drat good listen, but for the purposes of this post it's way too eclectic and all over the place.

So, let's get to my point:
Does anyone know of any compilations of, basically, more of the same as that video above? That is, actual orchestrated arrangements of Final Fantasy VI music? I know and have heard Grand Finale, and a few individual tracks from various sources, but I want more. If not orchestrated, then at least fairly conventional and faithful to the original material.

Also, and this is important: :siren:I do not give a flying rat's rear end about any of the other Final Fantasy games (nor other JRPGs) nor their music.:siren: I really, seriously do not. Final Fantasy VI just happens to have a special place in my heart and I love the soundtrack dearly. So if anyone can point me towards something that fits the described bill, I will love you forever.

I've been listening to a lot of Rome lately. I really like the whole melancholy martial folk thing, but the problem is almost everyone else that makes music like that is a nazi. And I don't like nazis. Does anyone have recommendations for that martial industrial neo-folk type stuff that isn't made by racists?

Well that is rather a tough question. Obviously there are artists like Der Blutharsch who claim not to be fascists or racists but who still use rather Nazi-ish imagery and it's not exactly easy to sort all that out.

You might try Ancient VVisdom, a band out of Austin - they are not really neo-folk, but share many aesthetic elements of the genre and I think would appeal to the same audience. They sing about the cycle of life and death, no nationalism or race or runic mysticism. And they are very good.

There's also the less martial side of neoclassical which sometimes involves elements of neofolk. Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Ordo Equitum Solis, some Dead Can Dance tracks, etc. I've not seen any Nazi imagery or racism associated with this area of things. In fact Sam Rosenthal who founded Projekt, a record label with a lot of good neoclassical and darkwave stuff, is Jewish so I kind of doubt he'd allow Nazi's on the label.

I'm thinking of Menace Ruine's album The Die is Cast, it has elements from martial folk with some black metal thrown in (with no blast beats or growling or anything though). It's pretty epic and melancholic and you might enjoy it. They're definitely not racists or anything.

Although I would argue that neither is Doug P of Death in June :]

Earwicker
Jan 6, 2003

I don't think Douglas P is really a Nazi either, but I think it's understandable that people are put off by his constant use of Nazi related symbolism and incorporating actual Nazi music into his work.

Personally I still listen to DiJ and even enjoy stuff like Seelenlicht even though Troy Southgate is definitely a racist poo poo.

There's this cool online radio station called Rat Patrol Radio. It has a bunch of music that played on American radios during World War 2 with a smattering of propaganda and PSA's thrown in for good measure. Is there anything like that for the USSR? Whenever I try to find old music from that part of the world all I get is Red Army Choir stuff.

Yeah, I don't really mind the use of nazi imagery, and I know he's too busy sucking dicks to be a nazi, but it's just he's an exception there. Doug P may or may not be some sort of cryptofascist, but most people who make music like him skip the crypto, or just go straight into the whole "I'm not saying we should kill jews, but I'm not saying we shouldn't either" spiel.

I can enjoy music from terrible people (Burzum, Kroda), but I also like to find bands that I don't have to avoid financially supporting in any way.

I like Annie's first album (2004's Anniemal) and her recent release, The A&R EP, co-produced and -written with Richard X a lot. I love how complex the music and vocal arrangements are yet it doesn't sound overly busy or any less absurdly melodic -- that's good arranging, I reckon! What other good club-ready underground synthpop should I check out?

Basically something fast paced and fusiony and late 70's-80's tinged with excellent musicianship, can be either instrumental or with vocals.

I've tried listening to some of his other tracks, but most of them were way more mellow and laid back, definitely not as energetic as this track.

If you haven't heard him, Madlib is absolutely essential for jazzy hip-hop production. His album Shades Of Blue consists of him mixing and mashing original old jazz recordings at blue note records. He's also done notable collaborations with Dilla and M.F. Doom.

I'm sure my tastes differ from yours, but of that list I'd certainly recommend Sigur Ros, Warpaint, Savages, and you already mentioned Bo Ningen.
