afgrunden posted:I'm interested in grime but I know absolutely nothing about it, can someone recommend me artists? I really like Dizzee Rascal's debut album Boy in da Corner but nothing after that. I like this song a lot too. I have checked out big names like Wiley, Skepta etc but most of them sound too... pop? I guess. I am interested in stuff that sounds darker, more aggressive maybe. Thanks in advance Darq E Freaker is a pretty great grime producer. He released a tune with Danny Brown recently too which I like a lot.

Febreeze posted:Are there songs/bands out there that make "western" music? Or Western sounding/influenced music? Something like DJ Champion's Chill 'em All, or like the second half of this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrBZeWjGjl8. Or even good soundtracks to go with? Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but check out Spindrift - Legend of God's Gun.

I hope this isn't too vague, but when I'm walking home from work sometimes I like to chill out and listen to stuff that's ambient, dreamy, trippy, etc. - but with enough guitar to give it a bit of zing...I'm thinking primarily of Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g9Hs3rnd6s I guess some of Pink Floyd's stuff might count, but some of it goes from trippy to agressive, like the tracks from Animals. Still, I'm open to suggestions.

Does anyone know of anything similar to Gotye's "State of the Art"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWIKQMBBTtk I suppose it could be classified as raggaeish with heavy vocoder use?

For some reason, I've been hit with an urge to listen to celtic music lately. It's nice for studying and working. Sometimes it's a bit too happy, though. Without sounding like a gigantic dork, I was hoping I could find some instrumental music that seems middle-ages inspired but more "dark" and fantasy'esque . These two songs from the Diablo 2 soundtrack are kind of what I'm thinking of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGTUz4OnzdM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=layjWs2IpS4 If possible, I'd prefer something that wasn't too over-the-top (i.e. not written with the intent of "sounding epic"), but more ambient instead. The LotR movie soundtracks have some songs reminiscent of that style--but I was hoping I could get some other suggestions outside of movies and video games.

Two requests: I'm interested in discovering some more really quality hip-hop. Some of my favorites include Juggaknots (especially Juggaknots... drat they are amazing), Company Flow, Cannibal Ox, Mr. Lif, I Self Divine, ATCQ, Common, Blackstar (Mos and Talib). Beastie Boys of course, RIP MCA. 36-Chambers Style Wu-Tang. Definitely seem to prefer the East Coast, and New York-based stuff especially. Outkast is amazing, though, too. I also want to find some more prolific songwriters with profound lyrics. Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Elliot Smith, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen are a few I love that come to mind. These are pretty generic requests, I think, but

I started listening to it last summer (took a few listens before it grew on me) and it still gets pretty decent rotation. Song-writers: Have you listened to Gram Parsons? He was a huge influence on Steve Earle and the entire country/rock/folk hybrid genre. For more folky folk, I'm a fan of Iron & Wine and also Ray Lamontagne.

I'm running out of drones and need you to recommend me the austerest drones you've got. I'm not talking talking drone rock or drone metal or anything of that sort but stuff like Time Machines, NWW Soliloquy for Lilith, Alvin Lucier's In Memorian of John Higgins, waves just going on for a long long time without much variation and very pure and direct sounding.

There's also Lucero, who are a bit more country-rock. Josh Ritter's also good, as are the Felice Brothers and William Eliot Whitmore.

This is only one song, but m83's "Midnight Souls Still Remain" fits this pretty well. The song just plays a note on a synth for about 11 minutes, harmonizing it with two other notes one at a time by subtly switching between each every few seconds.

I'm looking for some stuff and I don't really know what the specific genre is. Things like Jerry Butler, The Ronettes, The Chantels and Darlene Love I'm not really sure what this sound is but I need more of it. Kind of old timey R&B, maybe motown or doo-wop or something like that. idk, help

Things like Jerry Butler, The Ronettes, The Chantels and Darlene Love The Rhino compilation, One Kiss Can Lead to Another is really good and comprehensive. Doesn't include the obvious choices, so it has a ton of artists who had one single that you'd otherwise miss. There's a one disc version on Spotify. Also the Phil Spectre Back to Mono compilation is another good starting point. Some worthwhile groups: the Shangri-Las Lesley Gore The Chiffons The Crystals The Dixie Cups The Marvelettes

I checked back a few pages and didn't see anything, so I'm wondering what you all would recommend to a fan of Amos Lee? I'm normally a fan of classic rock/metal, southern rock, that type of thing. I wound up seeing him in concert with a friend, and have been a huge fan since, and I'm wondering if it's a fluke or if there's similar artists out there I might like.

Just listened to the live version of Oingo Boingo's "We Close Our Eyes" from their Farewell tour (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrPexqOR_T8). I've never heard an accordion sound like that, but I absolutely love it. I especially love the instrumental in the middle, approximately 2:25. Are there any other bands that use one with a similar sound/tone?

So I'm looking for something. I listen to a lot of metal. Mostly progressive technical stuff (Symphony X, Dream Theater, Leprous, etc) and a lot of death metal, but I'm looking for something less screamy. I don't like a lot of straight up prog (RPWL or any of the straight up 70's prog sounds, although I listen to it often because there's simply nothing else out there like it. I tried listening to The Mars Volta on somebody's recommendation (based on the odd time signatures and technical stuff) and the odd time signatures and technical stuff is cool but I can't stand their voices, same with Circa Survive. I've recently can't get enough of Dead Letter Circus. Who else might I like? tl;dr: like: progressive technical stuff like Symphony X, Dream Theater, Leprous, Death Metal, Dead Letter Circus don't like: straight 70's Prog, djent, tech-death, mathcore, whiny emo voices want: Leprous to make another album (and more stuff like them and / or Dead Letter Circus)

I recommend Isis, who have prog influences, and combine occasional death vocals with clean but not whiny vocals. Most of their albums are pretty good.
