I've been really into Mastodon, particularly stuff like Blood Mountain through The Hunter but I enjoy stuff like Remission as well. What are some more bands that have heavy parts as well as psychadelic/progressive/melodic sections? Nothing too technical, though, I tend to hate stuff like Dream Theater.

Falls of Rauros scratch my Agalloch-itch really nicely. Pretty much perfect autumn night music. Might also wanna try and browse that label's bandcamp site for more such bands.

And more on the death/doom side, it's not really a familiar area to me, but maybe Black Sun Aeon?

Pretty much the whole Georgia stoner/sludge scene has been following Mastodon's career arc a year or two behind them. Baroness, Kylesa, Black Tusk--any band that has John Baizley doing album art really. I also recommend Intronaut.

If you like Remission-era Mastodon, Neurosis is an absolute must. They are by far the biggest influence on Mastodon's early work as well as a ton of other bands. Scott Kelly also contributed vocals to Crack the Skye and Aqua Dementia.

I love all of the stuff you recommended. I already knew about Baroness but Kylesa and Black Tusk are both great. Neurosis I also knew about but hadn't listened to in ages. It's a good jumping off point, thanks a lot!

The first 2 or 3 Isis albums are good, though after that I think they just became pretty generic alt-metal. Oh, and Giant Squid might be up your alley.

Sure thing. They're less similar but if you want something with more of a proggy focus that isn't tech wank, you might like Giant Squid. The Ichthyologist is one of the coolest metal albums ever.

Glad I noticed this before I posted a new thread...

I have a bit of a problem. I've whittled down my musical interests to one or two major types, and am having an incredibly difficult time finding more songs/artists to listen to. At the moment, I'm trying to find some more female vocal trance, but I'm apparently incredibly picky, since most of what I come across doesn't work for me at all. Here are a couple I've found recently that are exactly what I like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDXX3Xz9nWk&t=80s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfdybwMvHgo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cVeg61OpZs&t=136s

Basically a slow to mid-tempo beat, and soothing female vocals taking center stage. Most of what I come across is too... bouncy, for lack of a better word. I really prefer songs I can relax to. :) If anyone can come up with either artists, or individual songs, I'd hugely appreciate it. Thanks!

WHEN THE RICH GET RICHER I GET HORNIER :a2m::a2m::a2m::a2m:

So, I'd call that ambient trance or even just plain ambient, rather than trance. You can try Holden and Thompson, but most of their stuff (and especially remixes -- look for original mixes) will be, like you said, bouncier / higher bpm. I'm not too familiar with ambient trance and what ambient I listen to, I prefer vocal-less.

No, shit is actually extruding out of your mouth, and your'e a pathetic dick, shut the fuck up.
Kind of a vague description, but I'm looking for some more stuff that blends any combinations of soul, jazz, funk, hip hop, and rock. I've been listening to a lot of Roots, Aloe Blacc, TV on the Radio, The Heavy, and Janelle Monae recently and I'm not sure where else really look for it. I know it's kind of a wide range of artists there, but hopefully that means there's tons of stuff I haven't found yet.

I'm looking for some new calm, melancholy, instrumental music to add to my collection. Neoclassical, classical, whatever really. I've listened to a lot of orchestral music lately, so I'd love to hear something a little more low key. A quartet or something, I don't know.

This might sound silly, but give it a chance: The soundtrack to Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura. It's all strings, very calm and melancholy most of the time, and only gets up to "slightly jumpy" on a couple tracks. The main theme especially is just beautiful.

I like The Apples in Stereo, but most of the other tracks are a lot more poppy. This one is all spacey, with like trippy background stuff. So, I'm looking for stuff that's like that just maybe whole albums and not just one track.

I'm looking for two things:

Any 80s synthy stuff; it doesn't have to be from the real 80s. John Carpenter music score kind of stuff; anything with that feel to it. I'm totally cool with movie soundtracks and the like, and yes, I do have the Blood Dragon soundtrack - which is awesome.

Second is a sort of re-request: Spaghetti Western style music, crossed with other genres - from experimental to heavy. Last time I got recommended to Monkey3's remixes of some classics and have listened to the majority of their stuff frequently since, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try again almost a year later!

Double requests:

1.) Modern, "finger picky" guitar. Ideally I'm looking for stuff in the folk/has vocals vein like Shakey Graves, but recently I've had the same itch scratched with James Blackshaw. I've already heard most of the goth-country scene and most of it doesn't do anything for me. I've also heard of the gods of fingerpicking like Fahey, Rose, et al.

2.) "Weird" classical guitar, like The Last Mariachi by Akira Yamaoka and Satanique Samba Trio

Check out Michael Hoenig. I recommend the wonderfully dramatically titled album "Departure from the Northern Wasteland." It's like John Carpenter movie music, but a lot better IMO.
Sample:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCBlQaZxOc4&t=360s
(jumps to 6:00, but this whole track is really solid)
As a bonus nerd-fact, same guy did the Baldur's Gate soundtrack (though that one is not synthy at all)

Also check out Cluster - they go between that kind of synthy music, and spaced out ambient stuff. The only album I know is Grosses Wasser, but I recommend it.

Also maybe earlier Jean-Michel Jarre? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DDEl7JnWvo

Long story short, a lot of German and sometimes French electronica from the 70s is exactly what you're looking for.
