Cart posted:Hopefully not too vague a request, but I'm looking for some older music that evokes that kind of Amsterdam coffee shop vibe. Not quite stoner rock (not looking for Sabbath/Kyuss for example), but some good reggae recommendations (ex: where to start with Peter Tosh, Toots and the Maytals) as well as some good classic rock albums or songs in the style of The Doors "Light My Fire", Steppenwolf's "The Pusher" or anything off Green River by CCR. Look for Trojan Box Sets, their Rocksteady one is solid. Toots and the Maytals will never steer you wrong imo, you can also check out the Melodians or try the soundtrack to The Harder They Come.

I can't possibly beat Carts request; but I've always been interested in the fretless bass (at least I think its a fretless bass) since I first heard it on the soundtrack for some Wong Kar Wai film. The only example I have to hand is the beginning of this Pat Metheny song; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9LXJUMGfBg Preferably something Jazz and sparse, that'd be cool. e: @ Cart - I don't wanna harsh you out, so here's somg songs by Dennis Brown and The Congos you might like; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAgP1rWvyoo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JhTM0Lar3Q BeigeJacket fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Nov 6, 2011 |

Is there any worthwhile Gary Numan records between The Pleasure Principle and Jagged? These are the only two I know, and while I like certain tracks off each, both albums follow a sort of 'variations on a theme' flow where each track is very similar.

As far as studio work is concerned, Telekon isn't bad. Living Ornaments '79 and '80 are good live albums. And even though they came before his solo career, the Tubeway Army albums are pretty essential.

Because I'm drawing a blank: A girl I just met is really into the Postal Service, and wishes Gibbard/Dntel would do another album (she should probably give up at this point). What else might she like in that same vein? I can't think of much else like them, aside from the now-butt-of-jokes Owl City. One that kind of came to mind was Miracle Fortress, but you guys can probably do better.

Ras Het posted:Well just that "weed music" is actually all popular music. Hopefully the request wasn't quite that vague, I wasn't exactly looking for someone to go and suggest I get into The Weeknd, The xx or Infected Mushroom here - I've have just gone looking round TCC if I wanted something that broad. More specifically, I'm looking for older music from across a few different genres (reggae, blues, soul, classic rock) that evokes a more laid-back, relaxed and hazier style. Great songs or artists to spin in the background when studying or relaxing. The only parallel I could really draw was hearing plenty of these tracks in Amsterdam and just wishing I could jack their vinyl collection and spend a weekend going through it, discovering music that would be new to me. For example, I discovered Dr. John's "Gris Gris" and Bobby Womack back then and have always been on the lookout to expand that knowledge and appreciation further. Basically, help me go beyond the more obvious choices from that era and give me some hints to discover great music that just doesn't get discussed anymore. greazeball posted:Look for Trojan Box Sets, their Rocksteady one is solid.

I love compilations for finding out about new artists. I picked up a few of the Saga Blues collection when I was in a Fnac in Barcelona. Excellent packaging and great tracks. The website is loving terrible but it's the only place I can find the full catalogue: http://sagajazz.com/ (look in the catalogue for saga blues) I got San Francisco Blues, Voodoo Blues, Chicago Slide Guitar Blues, Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie Johnson, and Blueswomen. I rate them in that order and would definitely buy them again. I've put more on my Christmas wish list, great stuff.

What's some spooky and moody yet melodic post punk like this or this? I really like that kind of droning backing provided by the synths in the Eyeless in Gaza and the strings in the Tuxedomoon.

I'm looking for a band that sounds like Black Sabbath's early work when they relied on droning, chugging metal tones but still had remnants of their Blues roots in there. Think from their self-titled up to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. I'll be damned if I can't find anything at all like what I'm looking for. My friend listens to a wide range of music and all of his suggestions didn't quite hit the mark: Mastodon is too gritty, Motorcycle Club is not nearly gritty enough, Early Man sounds more like Ozzy's solo work than anything else, and most of Queens of the Stone age sounds too poppy. Worst of all, none of these groups keep the pace down. It seems metal these days equates to quadruple bass pedals and blast drumming. The closest I have come to the sort of sound I'm looking for is just two songs: Workin' Man by Rush, and to a lesser extent A Song for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age, which has the droning tones, but no Bluesey sound. Any suggestions? I hope my descriptions make sense.

Orchid is the Sabbathist recent band I've heard in a while. If you want a bit more bluesy-space, Dead Meadow might be it. Also Electric Wizard. Heavier bands you might like will be Genertaion of Vipers, Toner Low, Falls of Rauros, or Tombs. Or just check out the stoner metal thread.

For slow and heavy Sabbath-style, Sleep is pretty amazing, although it's not very bluesy. Ever check out Blue Cheer? They're kind of a kitchen-sink of styles, but definitely blues-based and often cited as one of the earliest examples of what would become heavy metal. Oh, and did anybody say Kyuss?

So, I bought David Lynch's album and I'm in love  . Does anyone know similiar stuff? I don't even what the genre would be. In a review it was called Triphop, in another one modern blues. Here's one of the songs. You can even download it for free on David Lynch's homepage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GXGc4EobS8 http://davidlynch.com/ [Edit]: Too stupid to write the proper words...

International Noise Conspiracy and their other side projects have too much of a Hives vibe or something that I just can't get into. Papa Roach! No, just kidding... I always thought Refused sounded a lot like the original hardcore emo bands from the mid-90s like Rites of Spring, Indian Summer, Shotmaker, etc. Also Nation of Ulysses, who also mixed a lot of similar mod/jazz/hipster influences into an ostensibly hardcore/punk mold.

I love Devo's "Are We Not Men," where should I go next? They've released a ton of material, and I'm curious as to which albums are worth picking up. Same with Blondie post-Parallel Lines. I have their first three albums, although I don't think Plastic Letters is as good as the other two, and I've heard really mixed things about their later stuff. What's good?

FactsAreUseless posted:I love Devo's "Are We Not Men," where should I go next? Huge Devo fan here. Honestly, the best place to go is straight forward to Duty Now for the Future. That's their best album, in my opinion, and the perfect union between Devo weirdness and straight-out kickass tunes. Then I'd just keep going forward, really. Freedom of Choice and New Traditionalists are both awesome, but for totally different reasons than Are We Not Men and Duty Now. Each album after Are We Not Men gets progressively synth-ier. Those first four albums rank among my favorites for any band but pretty much everything after that is garbage with a few diamond songs in the rough. There were some great tracks on their most recent album, Something for Everybody, but nothing close to those first four amazing albums. People rag on New Traditionalists but Going Under is the song that made me fall in love with the band, and I geeked the gently caress out when I saw them last year and they played it.
