Sharzak posted:Looking for 2 recommendations. I'm not a huge fan of psytrance in general but I love Hedflux and Kindzadza. Hedflux normally has a bunch of mixes on his soundcloud so check them out and see how you go. Also, if you want to get an idea of who is popular in the psytrance scene look up the artist lineups for festivals like Rainbow Serpent and Earthcore in Australia as they tend to be a who's who of psytrance acts. Seconding the recommendation to check out Shpongle and if you ever have the opportunity to see them do a live show (not just a DJ set) go and see them, even if you're not fanatical about their music their live show is an absolutely amazing experience.

I have kind of an odd request. I've been listened to The Band again recently, and I really love their songs that have a historic setting or tell a historic story, such as their songs Acadian Driftwood and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. So, what I'd like is some great songs that tell a true story in a specific period of time or biographical songs. I'm open to literally any genre (bluegrass, blues, rock, hip-hop, reggae, it doesn't matter). Some examples of something similar, but biographical instead of historical, are the They Might Be Giants songs James K. Polk, Tesla, Meet James Ensor. (I already have all of TMBG's music catalog, so I don't need recommendations on other songs from them.) So, since it's open to any genre, does anyone have any good historical or biographical songs? Or if there's a band that concentrates only on historic or biography songs, that'd be amazing.

Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald edit: If you're literally open to any genre, there are multiple operas that (with varying degrees of accuracy) tell historical stories. Handel - Giulio Cesare (the William Christie - Danielle DeNeise version is the highest rated one though I personally prefer the Natalie Dessay dvd), Donizetti's "queen" operas (Maria Stuarda is about Mary, Queen of Scots; Roberto Devereux is about Queen Elizabeth I though the historical accuracy here is very low indeed; Anna Bolena which is about Anne Boleyn); John Adams has several history-based operas (Doctor Atomic is about the Manhattan Project; Nixon in China is about Nixon's historic visit to China); Philip Glass has some historically "inspired" operas like Satyagraha (about Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr) and Einstein on the Beach (about Einstein. Well, in theory...). There's also a newish opera about Anna Nicole Smith that got decent reviews but I haven't heard it. regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Dec 27, 2013 |

I am in dire need of the most 80s-sounding electronic music available; anything really heavy on synth. I'm already way into Tesla Boy and Grum. The first track from Mágico Catástrofe by Shibayan Records is another good example of what I'm looking for. Basically anything that conjures up images of 80s womans hair fashion and neon lights and cocaine is what I want right now.

Looking for music similar to what is on the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds CDs. https://play.spotify.com/album/0EZu1jyeMC9VDLuYwlXFZY Especially stuff with soaring female vocals backed by orchestral type instruments like in Memories of Life and Suteki Da Ne. Or something like Jenova with it's rock orchestral.

eithedog posted:I'd recommend Soap&Skin, Gazelle Twin, CocoRosie. There're also - Anthony and the Johnsons, Iamwhoiamwhoami, Fever Ray (and the Knife), but I think the first three should suffice you for a while. Based on these recommendations, I would recommend the new Sister Crayon album to both of you. They may have a dumb name, but they make the best trip-hop I've heard in over a decade. Plenty of soul in there to enjoy, but I love musical palate they use so much.. CYNIC is just a fantastic album. Their previous is also worth your time. Xandoom posted:Does anyone have reccomendations for metal bands with a female vocalist in it? I have been listening to Battlelore a lot lately, so something along those lines. I would bet that the new Sub Rosa album could scratch that itch. More Constant than the Gods is doomier/sludgier than Battlelore, but maybe that's a good thing? Be warned. Tracks go on for days.

This isn't the 80'siest song they have on this album but it does literally include the words 'neon' and 'cocaine' in the lyrics. Gay Horney fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Jan 3, 2014 |

Looking for a couple things: A singer-songwriter akin to Phil Elverum, because I really got into the Microphones and Mount Eerie recently and absolutely love it. Something that sounds like Illmatic by Nas, because it's the only rap album I ever really got into and I love the beats and samples more than anything. Something like Cherry Chapstick by Yo La Tengo, because I want to go deaf listening to those guitars. I don't know if that is specific enough, but I'll listen to anything you guys throw at me.

This may be too weird, but I'm looking for songs similar to this: Mogwai - Helps Both Ways https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG3X5RfEyt0 Something about it seems nostalgic, and very soothing. There's an almost-similar song by Godspeed You Black Emperor called Sleep, where a narrator talks about Coney Island back in the day. That song is overtly nostalgic but I like the feeling. I just wish the narration carried on throughout the song. I also like songs that feature crowds roaring, but not in a typical 'live show' fashion. Think the last minute or so of Fearless by Pink Floyd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkzAWmeZdk4 Sorry. These seem like pretty odd requests but the songs scratch a certain itch. me your dad fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Jan 5, 2014 |

"Deeper into Movies" is my favorite loud YLT song, and drat if "Cherry Chapstick" doesn't sound a whole lot like Sonic Youth's "Incinerate" (which is more recent, actually). Sonic Youth is pretty good for noisy, gently caress-off guitars in general, of course, and "The Diamond Sea" is my favorite example of that.

ADullMin posted:Is there any grime as solid as Dizee Rascal's Boy in da Corner? As above it's not really an album thing and hasn't ever been bar a brief period when a lot of attention and money were floating about the scene. Lots of mixtapes out there, most can be a bit hit and mix. But in terms of actual LPs however, I'm still tempted to say there's nothing been as solid a piece as BITC, but some come very close. If you haven't already grab Kano's debut LP Home Sweet Home, as well as those first couple of Wiley albums (Treddin', Da 2nd Phaze and Playtime is Over). Pick up Roll Deep's In At The Deep End and Rules and Regulations while you're at it. I'd also get JME's album Famous? I was a bit disappointed in it when it came out, but that's more because I'd heard a lot of it all over the years before, but actually it's a good collection. Ghetto/Ghetts' mixtape Freedom of Speech is also well worth seeking out, as I think it's probably one of the best things to come out of that mixtape era. I also always throw out the two Run The Road comps on 679 Recs, especially the first one which is packed full of hits and is a amazing showcase of most of that first wave. All older stuff I got to admit, so check out the UK Bass thread for more suggestions/up to date talk.

I have three songs that, to me, fit a style and theme. I'm looking for songs that have a similar style, musical theme, lyrical theme, or sound. "Can You Get To That" by Funkadelic "Movin' On Up" by Primal Scream "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" by Neil Diamond Each of the songs have a gospel approach, but aren't really gospel songs. I know that they're all different genres, but they still have that feel. "Brother Love" is kind of the odd one out, because it's about a tent revival, so it's missing out on the theme of redemption or a realization that redemption is needed, but it fits the theme musically. "Can You Get To That" is the best template, though. Funky, catchy, lots of fun vocal harmony, with a slight gospel bent to it. I hope this request isn't too esoteric. It's for a personal project, so anything would help.

I'm looking for concept albums that revolve around going to sea and/or being lost at sea. Anything on that topic is of interest to me, but if specifics are required then perhaps being lost at sea while pondering life/love/betrayal/revenge. Monomaniacal thoughts are a plus. Pretty much Ahab hunting Moby Dick in song. Indie rock/folk/acoustic is preferable. I really enjoy Andy Hull's work in all three Right Away, Great Captain! albums. Examples: Right Away, Great Captain! - Right Away, Great Captain Right Away, Great Captain! - Like Lions Do Right Away, Great Captain! - Devil Dressed In Blue Right Away, Great Captain! - Right Ahead, Young Sailor! I really enjoy the sound of The Decemberists in Leslie Anne Levine too.
