Some SquarePusher Some Thundercat songs, too Try out YACHT's latest album Some of the The Coup's newer stuff is more electronic Chromeo is a good suggestion. Bibio is funky, and 80's sounding, but a lil more chill and not heavy on electronics. edit: Silly question, but you listen to Prince, right? Controversy is a whole album of legit 80's synth funk.

I've been to a couple of their P-Funk shows and they do it pretty well. The keys player never really dives into that crazy Bernie Worrell sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEzQjJExk_o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a09ceOrPfE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_a3JOVyYs0 Vulfpeck does funk, but the stuff I've heard is all kind of mellow.

Separate post for Medeski, Martin, and Wood since they were mentioned. They are my single desert island band, hands down. Rest of my life in seclusion with only one artist to listen to forever, it’s them. They can be tough to get into depending on what you randomly pick as your first listen. Here are my suggestions for albums (one track for each) to start with based on their very different tones. Notes from the Underground is their first and most traditional album. Grand piano, stand up bass, drums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITjlyOFRAZ8 Groovy organ trio sounds on Uninvisible. This got them a lot of attention from jam band fans, and may have coincided with them touring with Phish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj68KYYpmHE End of the World Party is pretty accessible. Some weird sounds, Medeski played a lot of mellotron on this album. But kind of a heavy album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHlWOs6Ca50 Combustication is kind of free but still fairly groovy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYWKRGSw7bI The Dropper is very literally a “gently caress you, we’ll play what we want” to their label at the time. It gets bizarre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0_OzlxY528 Radiolarians was a three album series that I have a hard time putting logic to. It’s got a definite sound, but there’s a little bit of everything, traditional piano jazz, groovy organ stuff, wild free jazz, hard electric distorted sound walls, fun little ditties. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJzwn47ODbQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKsxUamuC5Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jyD08qbIdM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKIgb1p6On8 And that’s just the surface. They’re supremely weird, innovative, and each one of them individually is a master at his discipline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwYxlzbBZc8

This is a pretty good psych compilation from the Numero Group. Late 60's rock a la Blue Cheer - less peace & love, more sinister & heavy.

Howdy folks - bit of an odd request here maybe - I don't listen to classical music generally (though I have heard a bunch over my life) but recently I've been listening to Shostakovich's Symphony 5 in D minor a lot. It's really great. I'm just wondering if based on that there are some other things I should definitely listen to, or other avenues to explore. Thanks!

J Dilla has a few instrumental albums.

I have a request, hope it's not too weird. One of my favorite games of all times is the Homeworld series, and I particularly love the soundtrack composed by Paul Ruskay. A lot of people remember Adagio for Strings from that game, but for me, the specific...... I don't even know, "middle eastern space synth" is what I truly enjoy. Stuff like : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTKakINXjl8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NntjmwybRFk I've managed to find very little from other artists similar to that.Like, here's Enigma's "TNT for the Brain" for another example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYtwgRVu-Ng Anyone know of something similar? Or at least what this kind of stuff might be called?

you might like vasilisk. your first track reminds me of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfxoLLZzIyM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL5nXcfB3vw E: your third track is brighter and kind of reminds me of Desert Dwellers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohWofOGH5qk you could try digging into the "psybient" genre to get the middle-eastern/asian sound but set to a backbeat.

Llamadeus posted:Also try Muslimgauze: This is also pretty close. The problem with "tribal ambient" is that it most of it tends to be either pagan music, or like, meditative shaman stuff.

hi I'm Sad About a Girl and I'm finding that Cult of Luna is really hitting the spot for me rn. What's good if I want 1. Complex, heavy, post-metal melodies. 2. A dark, melancholic, somewhat angry but not furious tone. A source of catharsis for grim feelings without being cheesily dark. 3. Gritty vocals and clean vocals intertwined. Most obvious comparison is Isis, which is similar to CoL, but more everyday listening. Faves from the Cult is their newest album A Dawn to Fear and the older Somewhere Along the Highway, but I like them across the board. https://open.spotify.com/album/5wF8QXoGV5Woz6EzfZjMZC?si=OAZnofi-R0aMY2Jcez7t3w https://open.spotify.com/album/23ISdAi8LzEGzhYETnQe8Q?si=F-CEiQUwSMCFbgZXBuiuMA

Dog Days Are Over by Florence is one of my favorite upbeat, positive songs (though I've never actually listened to the lyrics, so it could be about the Rwandan genocide I guess), No Cars Go by Arcade Fire, Dr. Yang and two score other songs by Ben Folds (nearly everything that isn't crushingly sad is pretty happy, Dr. Yang was the first one I saw in my spotify faves). And the entirety of Jon H. Benjamn's incredibly stupid album Well I should Have... (Learned How To Play Piano).

This two acts are maybe slightly disparate, but I'm looking for acts that have the slightly hypnagogic feel of Portishead or Chromatics; I not so interested in the ethereal as much as a slightly decayed, hauntological vibe. Any suggestions? I know and like the likes of the Cocteau Twins, but the vibe I'm looking for is more haunted than haunting.

This is the first time I've heard of anything called hauntological music. I looked it up on Wikipedia and there are several acts listed there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauntology_(music) - the parenthesis seems to break the link - copy the URL and paste. Interesting read. It seems like it would be pretty open to interpretation and subjective as to what fits the category. me your dad fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Mar 6, 2020 |

That's exactly the way I felt about Portishead. When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, I listened to the stuff my older sisters did, and felt like I was supposed to like Portishead but never could appreciate them. It wasn't until I was about 25 that I finally came around, despite having found Massive Attack in high school.
