I personally think Aumgn and Peking O would be terrifying on drugs if you haven't heard them before. Really, the best thing for acid listening is music you really, really enjoy. Preferably something with texture that's not too fast - Fennesz and other noise/drone/glitch artists work well for me.

I'm looking for a few tracks to use for an art gallery. Prefer electronica, synth and vocals ok but at a minimum. Right now I've got a mix of Pretty Lights and Blackmill but would like to add a few more.

This is a good point, I was intimately familiar with Tago Mago sober before I ever tried listening to it not-sober. Actually, I used to get mad when I said I liked Can and people said "great shroom music bro," because I was a big fan of them and had never done drugs at all.

Suggestions for stuff similar to the Robert Plant & Alison Krauss collaboration? I'm kind of clutching at straws in terms of present shopping.

I've always sorta liked Tegan and Sara, but moreso as a guilty pleasure. I heard their demos the other day and WHOA jeeez where can I get more of that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5D578kMe-s this specifically I would liken it to PJ Harvey, but she's a little too, i don't know, not the same? Maybe it's because my musical taste always gravitates towards first albums and demos; the PJ Harvey albums always sound a little too polished? Cat Power is good too but kinda hit or miss; this imo is a hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyNBeYSYRpE Basically gimme some heavy raw music with angry girl vocals and tempo shifts, but whose lyrics sound so personal to be private. I also like joanna newsom like crazy so maybe they don't even need to be angry or personal; i don't know. WHERE DO I GO FROM TEGAN AND SARA's RED AND YELLOW DEMO?

Not sure if it will be too polished (although it's pretty low fi by today's standards) but the lyrics are certainly personal and there's plenty of anger running throughout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0MwGd6-Sso There are demos of some of the tracks that sound even rougher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHtawJAigsM As a warning: Every subsequent album after Exile in Guyville is worse than the one before. As much as I hate the term, she's the ultimate example of "selling out" with each album trying to get more poppy and radio friendly. Sleater-Kinney isn't acoustic but their self-titled first album is rough as hell and probably the most personal. It's also my least favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0q6EYTGXXQ Their next two albums, Dig Me Out and Call the Doctor, are angry, rough, great punk records. I'm not sure if they're quite what you're looking for but might be worth a try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywlHaW-TaSE Still electric but rough as hell is Excuse 17, Carrie Brownstein's pre-Sleater-Kinney project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wIQfNWnbS4 And of course there's a mountain of material from Ani Difranco regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Dec 6, 2013 |

Hey thread! I think I've posted before but I'll do it again. Lately I've really been into Crystal Castles (I like most of their stuff although I'm not particularly into their more noise-oriented tracks), Grimes (all of her stuff. all of it), and Chelsea Wolfe (pretty much everything except for her lousy couple of first albums). I've also always liked Cocteau Twins, although oddly enough I've rarely gotten into usual CT "soundalikes". So I guess I'm looking for female vocals that alternate between otherworldly, calm, furious and spooky? With hella cryptic lyrics? Don't be afraid of giving me obvious answers, as long as you point out specific tracks or albums! SexyBlindfold fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Dec 7, 2013 |

'Juju' by Siouxsie and the Banshees is exactly what you're looking for with the added bonus of having some of the best post-punk guitar work ever. Their first six or so albums are pretty solid with different approaches to instrumentation/writing but 'Juju' is the best work they ever did.

Anyone know anything similar to this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKv_eZwJh34 I've been listening to MA for years, but just now really exploring their other stuff and this really stuck out. Guess what I'm looking for is the combination of the electronic/bassline with rap. Thanks.

I'm looking for stuff similar to Carina Round. Something with female vocals and a melancholic feel, with a little distortion here and there and maybe some riot grrrl elements. My favorites by her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlCg6nbXhZM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKqgE8z7PcA "The Disconnection", which I can't find on Youtube. I've also been listening a lot to Metric lately, which shares some of the same qualities, so I'll throw it in there, although it's a lot more upbeat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jiQ1QpNSkA

A few more off the top o' my head, in no particular order: Human League - Dare Gary Numan - Pleasure Principle New Order - Power, Corruption, and Lies Ultravox - S/T I'd also recommend Suicide's self-titled album. It's more like proto-synth pop, and it's definitely darker and a bit demented (e.g., "Frankie Teardrop," which is one of the scariest songs of all time), but it is seminal and stunningly good, IMHO. One of my favorites of the 1970s. Here's a couple of the synth poppier tunes (the first one is actually a bonus track from the 2xCD version): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KJJyKqcL2A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KJJyKqcL2A izationalizer fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Dec 9, 2013 |

Hello thread! Thanks for being so amazing and giving me lots of new music to feast on during my workday.  I am after some big soupy lush warm vast string sections doing lovely minimalisty sorts of things. Basically, I want to know if anyone else ever did anything like the opening track of Johann Johannsson's Fordlandia, or his IBM album. Fordlandia and an IBM track are included below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og9QtUJZ8iI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhgRuePDCR4

There's also CHVRCHES who made what is probably my favourite album this year. Science/Visions is a good place to start if you want something kinda ethereal.

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but the Sun City Girls--who are a major influence on Animal Collective--get primal and chant-y at times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6CypaG5gqw Skip to the 5 min. mark for some some tribal drums and chanting (or something like chanting, anyway). It might be worth noting that Sun City Girls are pretty uncompromising in their weirdness, so they can get pretty atonal and un-melodic.

I'm looking for some really soft and mellow jazz that I can listen to while studying. Something similar to this. Piano, drums and some soft horns. No vocals are preferred. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMnrl0tmd3k If you can name specific artists that would be great, but I would be just as happy with the name of a compilation album of this sort of music. Or maybe just help me narrow down my search terms? Whenever I search for jazz I get either something with alot of vocals or something that's way too swingy and up-beat.

I could recommend Deaf Center, Max Richter, Steve Reich, but they aren't quite the same as Johannsson's specific sparse string-heavy compositions.  (At least until this thread! See below.) I really like some of Richter's stuff, but you're right, neither he nor Reich really hit the same button. Never heard of Deaf Center though, can you recommend anything in particular?eithedog posted:I'm fond of Ben Frost & Daniel Bjarnason's Solaris slowdave posted:Bersarin Quartett? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_mFtvIu47I Can't thank you enough for that recommendation! slowdave posted:Klimek?

Those On My Left posted:Yeah, this is a long-term search for me, with no real results so far. One other name that crossed my mind which you've probably checked out is Olafur Arnalds. He may be closer than the others but the thing that stood out to me with Fordlandia and IBM 1401 was the length of the compositions and I think his tracks still tend to be under 5 minutes from what I've seen. I'm honestly not familiar enough with his catalog to give a specific recommendation but he has a boatload of stuff up on Spotify.
