I really love this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV0s_F5hdKw and I've hunted around for similar songs but I've struggled to find the genre. All I can think of is 'piano bar' to describe it, I guess Ella Fitzgerald would be somewhat similar. I am a huge fan of Jon Brion anyway, but I just adore the gentleness and melancholy in this piece, and in particular the simplicity of piano and female singer (also I think I hear a quiet double bass in there). Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Hey guys I just discovered the ambient/psybient/psychill/dark ambient genres (and whatever other synonymous terms people use for these songs) and I really love them. Problem is, aside from a few really good playlists on Youtube I haven't been able to find things like good albums to pick up on iTunes or anything. Hopefully someone who is well-versed in these genres can give me some suggestions for either bands to follow or just individual albums. For dark ambient the only group I listened to that was really my style was Lustmord. For normal ambient/psybient/etc. I haven't really found anyone. My super-strict rule is no vocals of any kind. None. I listen to this stuff while I'm working and walking around town but I also use it to fall asleep to on planes and trains. I'm a really light sleeper but I've found ambient/dark ambient is perfect for putting me to sleep. The catch is that human voices wake me up every single time. I absolutely cannot sleep through them. So I need songs with no vocalization whatsoever. For some examples of stuff I like, here's some of the playlists that got me into the genre to begin with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjAynwq_1So https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpmAD4gcLMo But even these aren't foolproof since some of the songs included in the mixes have vocalizations at some points... also Black Star by Lustmord is horrible to fall asleep to since it randomly has a monster screaming at you every few minutes that wakes me right up. Their other songs are a little better in that regard. I guess what I'm asking for is really deep soundscapes. Instrumental stuff that just kind of makes you feel like you're slowly drifting through different planes of existence and stuff like that. Alternatively, I also really like the music in The Mind's Eye series and would love to get some more stuff like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhIbK6gdYqo Help me fly away!

I have this tripping playlist set up. I don't really like listening to the stereotypical psy trance or whatever, instead I prefer mostly upbeat-ish, electronic or noise tinge pop/rock. So far, it's composed of Starfucker - Reptilians, Dan Deacon - Bromst, The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Black Moth Super Rainbow - Eating Us, Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms. (Also it has fang island and gatto fritto but I'm thinking of removing those as they don't fit much.) I know these are all sorta disparate, but any suggestions on what more I can add?

Baths Errors although they skew more towards post rock And lastly I'll throw gently caress Buttons out there even though they're pretty drone-y and not really that similar to your other stuff. gently caress Buttons just remind me of a slower darker Dan Deacon so maybe you'll get something out of it.

I'm not sure if we have a "Where do I start with..." thread, but I'll edit this stuff out if there's a more appropriate thread. Where do I start with Bob Dylan? I was recommended to listen to him by some friends of mine, but searching him up on Spotify has led to me be really unsure on where to begin. Should I just listen to his albums from the very start, or is there a better "order" for someone who has never listened to his music before? Edit: The reason I was recommended him is because I'm looking for artists with great lyrics in their song, and he apparently is one of the best. I guess I could ask for more recommendations for artists with "great" lyrics too.

Blonde on Blonde is probably his best-regarded work. There's also Highway 61 Revisited, Blood on the Tracks, Desire, and Bringing It All Back Home. It really depends on what kind of music you like with your lyrics.

Stalins Moustache posted:I'm not sure if we have a "Where do I start with..." thread, but I'll edit this stuff out if there's a more appropriate thread. There is also a big contrast between "works before Bringing It All Back Home" and "works since (and including) Bringing It All Back Home." Both eras are good in pretty different ways, so I'd recommend starting with one album from before and one from after, not just one or the other. Before: usually Bob Dylan playing guitar and harmonica and singing, all solo, as if you were seeing him play in a bar. Lyrics were generally pretty direct, either "I'm a travellin' man and I'ma keep ramblin" kind of stuff (see Down the highway), or stuff that sort of chronicles the civil rights movement and other sorts of protest movements and issues and spirits of the time (see The times they are a-changin or The lonesome death of Hattie Carroll). From this era, my top album choice is The Times They Are A-changin, but they're all great. After: Then he started playing with a band (actually, with The Band), and people were pissed at first but eventually realized it was good music. His lyrics got less protesty and more abstract, which I think was a letdown for a lot of politically conscious people who liked him as a protest singer. Bringing It All Back Home was the first album of that sort, but I personally prefer Highway 61 Revisited. Declan MacManus also wrote good suggestions. IMO things trailed off in quality once you got closer to the 80s.

Check out his chill tune 'All at Sea' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDSH0UV-8-g 'Next Year' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe_oewXHBWE&t=143s (skipped to 2.25 for you as there's a bit of a lengthy intro) Now he does a lot of jazz standards mixed with what I guess is a kinda pop-songwriter style too (example - his version of Rihanna's 'Don't the Stop Music' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0z1Mo7O6dE) which may be steering away a bit from what you're after, but then again you might just find the variety of it all awesome.

Recently, I listened to the album Rome by Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi, and I really, really enjoyed it. I can't really name what the genre of it was, so I figure I'll just ask - does anybody have any album recommendations with a similar feel or sound?

DJ Shadow's Midnight in a Perfect World has a similar mood, in my opinion. Check out some stuff by Angelo Badalamenti, specifically the Lost Highway soundtrack. And maybe some cuts from from the first Handsome Boy Modeling School. But most of that album is more hip-hop oriented. Lastly, maybe some Lovage? I dunno - that Rome album is all over the place. me your dad fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Nov 15, 2013 |

I like the choral and melodic energy in songs like these. I recommend Blackmore's Night in general due to their medieval-folk/renaissance flair. Blackmore's Night - Fires at Midnight Blackmore's Night - Play Minstrel Play With "Fires at Midnight" when the music kicks in at 2:40 you can almost feel the wind in your hair no matter what time it is. Anyone have other things to recommend that are like or similar to those two? Related to that, I am also seeking recommendations on other songs like this: The Delgados - The Light Before We Land

I'm looking for some jazz that gets into funk territory. I get a hint of it in this Grover Washington Jr. piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jvdy6khEmA but it's not quite funky enough. I think the bass needs to have a more prominent role. Speaking of jazz and bass, I love this tune just because the bass is out in front and has a delicious mwah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrQ46yM504s I like their other material but the rest of it isn't as bass-heavy as this. I guess in general I'm just looking for some bassy jazz. I'm familiar with Jaco Pastorius and can appreciate it, but a lot of his stuff feels too fusiony for my tastes.

Well luckily enough for you Jazz-Funk exists as an actual genre. A lot of it was panned at the time - especially the later 70s stuff - but that's just 'cause the reviewers just weren't cool enough. A lot of the time they'll use the phrase 'commercial' in there too. Personally half the time I'm looking at stuff more from a singles perspective, but that dancefloor angle is what I really dig. Still a lot of classic albums came out of that period, just a small list I'll recommended. Hopefully bassy enough for you: That Herbie Hancock 'trilogy' of Headhunters, Thrust and Manchild. You can continue his whole 70s run while you're at it. Donald Byrd had a great run in the mid-70s too, with a run of albums on Blue Note like Stepping Into Tomorrow and Places & Spaces. Dropping a Jazz part of their name The Jazz Crusaders simply became the Crusaders and put out classic albums on Blue Thumb like Southern Comfort, Chain Reaction and Those Southern Knights. Can drop into more Fusiony type of things sometimes but still totally groovy. Grab Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes albums like the classic Expansions, Visions of a New World and Renaissance while you're at it. Honestly I could be here all night listing off albums and artists or whatever (Ronnie Laws, Roy Ayers, Idris Muhammed, George Benson, Ramsey Lewis, way to many). For more easily digestable form though the old Mastercuts Classic Jazz-Funk compilations are great, normally all the 12" mixes of classic, classic tunes. And it's easy now to trace the song to the artist to the album etc etc. Demon/Nascente also had a 3CD Beginners Guide comp out fairly recently too, I don't have it but the track list also looks pretty decent, even delving into the early 80s British Jazz-Funk scene which is generally a bit more dancefloor orientated.

Also, listening to David Bedford's Rime of the Ancient Mariner in the dark on headphones is my favourite way to trip without drugs.

I've been rediscovering my old breakcore collection and am looking for some recommendations for mashup style breakcore moreso than noise / speedcore. My current high-rotation playlist is: Sickboy Milkplus - Shake Hands with a Clenched Fist Sickboy Milkplus - Tweencore Sickboy Milkplus - Musical Rocket Seance DJ Donna Summer - Panther Tracks DJ Donna Summer - Jmore / Jumpstyle mix & Big Booty / BBTcore mix DJ Rainbow Ejaculation Cock Rock Disco Compilation So is there any contemporary breakcore that hits the same sort of mashup / sample-heavy notes as these artists? Any particular record labels or bandcamp pages I should be paying attention to?
