I have had a hell of a journey that has left me yearning for some very different things. I listened to The Caretaker's Everywhere at the End of Time after waiting for the right time to be emotionally vulnerable for it, and I've never been so hosed up by art. A lot of the tracks in Stages 2-4 felt like they were playing out narratives of the many friends and family I watched go through dementia in the later half of my life. The immediate transition into stage 5 where it's rapidly shifting between what song is playing in which side of the speaker feels like having to watch the aftermath of a car wreck for 8 minutes and I had to shut the album off for that day and finish the day after. I feel like the length of the thing was absolutely justified, and the dark ambient that was the last 2 stages would not have given off that kind of dread without getting me so immersed in the narrative for all that time. I have felt a huge void since finishing it. I felt an emotional need to listen to the original samples like I had an obligation to respectfully remember this person like it was a funeral. After all that exhaustion, I pretty quickly listened to a lot more of Leyland James Kirby's work, which was all way more fun for not being directly attached to the longass reverent dementia project. When I had my fill of all that, I went looking around for more sample focused music and first stumbled upon Ground-Zero's Revolutionary Pekinese Opera Ver. 1.28 and that blew my mind in the opposite emotional direction. After that I kept finding amazing stuff: The KLF's Chill Out, Negativland's Helter Stupid, DJ Shadow's Endtroducing. I am kicking myself for taking so long to listen to The Avalanches' Since I Left You. After reflecting on that:

A suggestion that will be dismissed out of hand: opera. Regular-degular opera is challenging enough, as the vast majority of people don't have any experience with it and it has a learning curve to even appreciate the sound of operatic voices (along with the easier challenge of classical orchestration). But it rapidly escalates, almost exponentially so, into Wagner with his much heavier, much denser orchestration and vocal parts and then into things like Schoenberg-style 12 tone. Opera encompasses some of the most psychologically complex music and themes imaginable -- one can spend years dissecting, say, Tristan und Isolde and more than one MFA thesis has been written just about that opera's prelude. Even approachable opera has such depth that it's hard to describe simply -- I could easily give a 30 minute talk about Mozart's Martern aller Arten and how incredible an aria it is, truly a work of genius. But it requires a fair amount of investment from the listener, and while the more effort invested the greater the reward, most people prefer not to make that investment. E: for fun, an intro discussion to the Tristan und Isolde prelude, one of the most significant musical works of the 19th century: https://thelistenersclub.com/2020/06/08/wagners-tristan-und-isolde-prelude-and-liebestod/ regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Aug 30, 2022 |

Pulse Demon is pretty dynamic I don't really know what's bland about it, unless it just didn't have enough volume variation for you. But harsh noise isn't really the genre for that to begin with (although there are records with more varied volume than that one).

Came to both of these more or less by accident so don't really know anything about what they might be related to: Anything I should look for in the ballpark of Broadcast? And also Yura Yura Teikoku and Shintaro Sakamoto's solo stuff?

DJ Michael "5000" Watts Especially anything he's done with the big names from Swishahouse like Mike Jones (I recommend his remix of the whole Who Is Mike Jones? album), Paul Wall, Lil Keke, and Bun B.

After you asked, I went looking and found he just released a remix of Slim Thug's album BIGslim and it's also good. Seems like he chopped every Swishahouse album there was and made a billion mixtapes, so there is an absolute mountain of material to get through. Some of it is not great.

that music is definitely inspired by the theme music from psycho, except without the sweeping strings parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMTrVgpDwPk Also, it reminds me of combat music from darkest dungeon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYFU_RiefKk

This might be a niche request, but can anyone recommend any good rock bands from Prague? I have a friend who knew I loved Prog Rock for years, but yesterday they revealed to me that, until very recently, they thought I was saying that I loved "Prague Rock", so I thought it would be fun to make a playlist with good Prague rock bands as a light roast.
