Wheat Loaf posted:I would like recommendations for 70s soul music that isn't as much on the disco end of things, along the lines of Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes or Barry White (although lengthy spoken raps to introduce songs as practised by the latter two in particular are optional). Out of modern stuff, Raphael Saadiq's Stone Rollin' is probably my favourite neo soul record of recent years. https://youtu.be/oz5PeA1sXS0

I'd stick in with that 90s Throwing Muses and Belly.

A few quick ones : Does anyone still make overly electric kpop with too much autotune like early 4minute and 2ne1? I want some obnoxious poo poo a teenage girl listens to to piss off her dad, not love songs. What's a band like late period Snapcase if they didn't have a terrible monotone vocalist? What's a band like old Behemoth, or like if Rotting Christ was harder?

Like Satanica era I guess. I guess both of them feel like there's a similar respect for songwriting and hooks, even before Behemoth got as light as they are now.

Rereading, a much better recommendation based on 4minute and 2ne1 would be Blackpink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHNzOHi8sJs, who a lot of people consider to be carrying the torch of that style

So, being a turbo nerd, I REALLY love some arrangements I have heard of Final Fantasy music, but I am not at all experienced with classical music in general. Does anyone have any suggestions for something sort of similar in style or feeling to this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7Cqvaqj0Ls

It's a bit tricky because before Pet Sounds, they were very much a "surfing, hot rods and girls in the sun" rock and roll band, the hit singles were by far their best material and most of their album tracks were very similar to their hits. I like the Beach Boys' Party album, which is one of those fake live albums that weren't uncommon in the 60s (i.e. they record the songs then overdub crowd chatter later) because it's essentially a covers album with them doing Beatles songs, a couple of Bob Dylan songs and so on in a relaxed atmosphere. I was mistaken earlier about not having heard anything after Pet Sounds because I forgot I have heard Wild Honey, which is an example of the band trying to get a bit into the blue-eyed soul bag, trying to do a Stax and Motown thing. It's decent enough for what it is but I'd honestly rank it below the first three Young Rascals albums for that sort of thing.

Tried to keep it within the last 5 years but In The Ruff is a bit earlier. You probably have heard it but Royce has a project with DJ Premier called PRhyme and they have put out two albums together. Masta Ace & Marco Polo - A Breukelen Story Diamond District - In The Ruff Madlib & Freddie Gibbs - Pinata Action Bronson - White Bronco Black Thought - Streams of Thought Vol. 1 & 2 Evidence - Weather or Not J. Cole - KOD Oddisee - The Iceberg 9th Wonder - Zion II & Zion III (Instrumentals) That should get you started. Let me know what ones you like and I can probably suggest more.

What are some albums with really good production that shows off good rear end headphones with wide soundstages? I have a pair of LCD-Xs that I need to take full advantage of. Here are some albums that I really loved for taking advantage of this. Genesis - Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Supertramp - Crime of the Century Radiohead - Hail to the Thief Alan Parson's Project - I, Robot Vangelis - Blade Runner OST And so on. It can be any genre.

This is usually not a great question for this thread because it typically devolves into everyone posting their favorite album because "good production" is, among the entirety of recorded music, a pretty broad and subjective thing. But anyway my personal recommendation is Leaves Turn Inside You by Unwound.

I guess I specifically meant broad sounding albums with wide soundstages where the production really takes advantage of that with sound coming from all different directions, albums that envelop you where the spatial aspect of it is an essential part of the album and where each individual instrument and bit of vocals are distinct and separate. One of the best ways to describe it is Stevie Wonder's Innervisions album's segments where you heard the sounds of the city and people talking and it does a really good job of making you feel like you're there, it doesn't just feel like stereo audio coming from two directions. The recommendations so far seem pretty interesting though so I'll just toss them on my Tidal playlist. Worst case scenario I'll hear some good music with decent production values. Thanks everyone.

The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld is pretty good for this, along with a lot of the electronica of that era. It may not be the textures you want at all, but it's spacious and great on headphones. The Future Sound of London stuff from back then maybe too.
