Are there any artists similar to 65daysofstatic? Sorta, math-y, glitch-y, IDM-y post-rock?

Maybeshewill are frequently compared to 65dos, although their IDM elements are far less pronounced. They're also fantastic.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Modern metal acts I enjoy: Kylesa, Melvins, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Gojira, Big Business. Nobody mentioned Red Fang so I'd throw them in there as well. Can anyone recommend me stuff similar to Tera Melos' latest two albums? Mathy but with definite song structures. I dislike Maps and Atlases if that helps.

A little bit on the nose, but Bygones. Also, Other Men. loving brilliant Rob Crow project. Like someone made math rock into a drug and they're the freebase, super-potent version of that drug. But it's Rob Crow, so it's still really pretty-sounding and song-like. They only have one album, the whole thing is up on youtube.

Isis and Neurosis are my go to bands for stuff like studying, when I need something in the background that's not so minimal as to be almost not there, but not energetic/catchy enough to really sing along to or be too distracting. Any recommendations for stuff that will scratch that itch, particularly if it's in whatever genre we're putting those two in right now?

The genre you're looking for is atmospheric sludge or "post-metal." Cult of Luna, Rosetta, Mouth of the Architect, Minsk, and Pelican and Russian Circles (if you want instrumental stuff) are good ones.

Dirge are the only Neurosis-ish band that that are even more terrifying and apocalyptic than Neurosis themselves. Their double album Wings of Lead over Dormant Seas is fantastic.

Maybe Today is the Day if you're looking for something a bit more metallic. 'Ganjahovahdose' by White Mice has a similar guitar tone but that's because they go for an overwhelming, sludgy sound. Lightning Bolt and Melt-Banana are fairly unique so it's hard to recommend bands like them. There's a poo poo ton of great noise rock from the 90's that's worth looking into if you've managed to skip over it.

I kind of see those bands as the more introspective, gritty side of Boredoms' krauty, hypnotic jams. I figured if the guy ends up liking Boredoms he deserves a look at the guys who influenced a good deal of their style.

So I went to Karaoke the other night and met this girl with a good voice who did not in one way sound like she belonged in a bar doing Karaoke. Come to find out she actually got far enough in American Idol for Randy and Paula to like her, but Simon was as always a dick. Anyhow, she does a lot of covers and I think it's a shame that her videos don't have more views considering some of the high view trash I see on Youtube. I'm recommending people give her a listen and maybe help her out by linking to her stuff on your Facespace or whatever it is you kids are shooting up these days.

As much as I the love parliament/funkadelic style, I'm looking for stuff that's a bit more immediate party, than psychedelic craziness. Some examples I've been listening to recently are t-connection, BT Express, Mandrill, Fatback band, The Gap Band and Slave, available on spotify is a big plus This may be late but: Lakeside (Fantastic Voyage, All the Way Live, Raid) Zapp (I Can Make You Dance, More Bounce To the Ounce) I don't know if they're on spotify though.

I'm looking for music something similar to Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera. I enjoy listening to music where the singer reaches high notes. I'm also interested in music similar to Bloody Tears. A barely know anything about music (I'm a freak, I know) and last.fm hasn't given me anything that I particularly liked yet.

Hey, here's the whole thing on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHNhcG9BhMw Loads of catchy songs written by the self-same Andrew Lloyd Weber. If you feel up to dipping your toe into the field of opera -- where singers can hit much higher notes and of a far higher quality of tone than in musicals -- I can give far more recommendations. I won't go into much detail now because most people have an inherent bias against it so my words would be wasted  I'll include one clip though, which has among the highest standard (i.e., written in the score) notes in the operatic repertoire (there are times when singers will go higher, via ornamentals).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLlux8ICOfI

Douku posted:That opera video was beautiful. Feel free to give more specific recommendations. lol (this does happen) Unfortunately, individual clips can be tough to find with English subtitles -- there are loads of entire operas with English subs but individual clips, not as often. Here's just a few selections you may like: Since you like high notes, I'll try to include plenty of those. This first one is a silly little song sung by a wind-up doll. No subs on this one, but the song is basically about how the whole world looks lovely to a young girl in love. I included this non-subtitled version because it has an interesting backstory -- the contracted singer got sick day of show and the cover (kind of like an understudy) was notified she'd be singing the role with only 4 hours notice, which is no time at all in opera. She'd never sung at the Met before, and the Met is the largest and most prestigious opera house in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHp4LLnlKIg This also goes back to the ornamentals I mentioned -- as is standard, the first half of the aria is sung "by the book", and then the second half is ... well, you'll see Another version of this, again without subs, with my favorite opera singer. She gets ahead of the beat at times, but damned if this isn't guaranteed to be enjoyable. Possibly  for simulated sex / dry humping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96kaaVu1oYcThe aria that made Pavarotti famous. Again, sadly no subtitles. 9 high Cs at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6NkMeR2Z0M Lyrics for the first half http://www.aria-database.com/translations/fille06_ah.txt, can't find any for the second half but he's basically talking about how happy he is Not high notes, but one of the most famous arias of opera. Also known as "that Bugs Bunny opera song" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ1nAAVjimA Low notes feature in this penultimate number from Don Giovanni: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK1_vm0FMAU The most popular soprano in the world showing why she's so popular. Pretty much can't help but fall in love with her a little after watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_kaOYC_Fww One in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCg4r1Ile4w Anna Moffo, who had one of the most purely gorgeous voices ever, in a piece from La Boheme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFX8pNlwtMY The lyrics (and we do have subtitles, for a change) are purely banal here -- a dozen or so lines, half of which are repeated over and over again throughout the piece. But Mozart is telling the story in the music here and the lyrics are almost incidental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUDTBDc0wNA There are few things I like talking about more than opera, so if any of this piques your interest do feel free to PM me and I can make more suggestions and give you good places to start with a full opera (Orphee aux Enfers is my go-to answer, Carmen is another popular choice)

On the subject of opera, this is a really cool article and pair of videos that helped me appreciate the actual performance of opera a lot more, having always been someone who casually likes opera but couldn't tell an okay performer from a great one out of context. The piece they're singing is a really pretty one too. The first video is broken but just look on youtube for "kathleen kim doll song."

There's really nothing more amazing than hearing a trained operatic voice singing a fiendishly difficult but incredibly beautiful aria. Unless it's hearing it live! Youtubes and dvds are a pale substitute beside attending an opera irl. Good luck on your journey, definitely feel free to pm me if you have any questions. Or if you want a place to talk about it, the opera forum at Talk Classical is very welcoming to newcomers; that's where I stumbled onto when I was first getting into opera.

1. I don't have much musical knowledge, so maybe I'm describing this incorrectly, but I really like 'Eastern' sounding (pentatonic scales?) in music that isn't world music. Examples: Only Skin by Joanna Newsom*, and Oblivion by Grimes. I need more so I can fill a playlist with it! 2. I love the sound of My Name is Trouble by Keren Ann, but unfortunately the rest of her work isn't similar (I do still like a lot of it, though), so I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for melancholic, melodic pop like this. *This section in particular.
