Any suggestions? If you wanna get something really odd, try out the Songs in the Key of Z compilation. If you haven't heard it before, I doubt you've listened to anything like it before. It's a compilation of outsider music and love it or hate it, it's different.

I love all sorts of reggae, but lately I've been into dub, the reggae offshoot that features weird studio effects and echoes. This isn't an area in which I'm completely ignorant; in fact I love Big Youth, Augustus Pablo, U-Roy, and Lee "Scratch" Perry. That being said, I don't really like the extremely spacey stuff like Scientist that much. So I'm here looking for more "dubby" reggae along the lines of Big Youth, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RDO_Fbm4Pc) whom I enjoy very much. I know there are some people around here who know a bit about reggae and dub, so I figure this might be a good place to ask about this.

I would be open to recommendations for good, long-rear end, instrumental jams. Examples of stuff I've already been getting into would include some Djam Karet (particularly "Burning the Hard City"), Bitches Brew era Miles, Earthless, some of the jammier live Grateful Dead things (performances of Dark Star, The Other One, etc.). I'm not real keen on going to the ambient end of the spectrum; prefer something harder and/or more psychedelic and/or drummier than ambient would typically be.

I'll definitely check out the others. Thanks. I don't know if the Djam Karet guys would claim to take some influence from King Crimson, but yeah, it's very easy to picture some overlap in their audiences.

Are you familiar with the Mahavishnu Orchestra? The guitarist from that band, John McLaughlin, played on some of Miles' late-60s, early-70s albums. And although their songs don't really approach 20 minutes, the music is pretty hard, very far from ambient. Then again, there is the occasional "fiddle song" on their albums, but most of the music is heavy on drums and electric guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQG7XpCiSVA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU4yAk6qYUs Check out some of their live videos on youtube if you're into drum solos.

The 90's live Shakti Revisited album might be a good choice.

I have some bootlegs with the original lineup that are absolutely killer. My wife won't let me play them in the house because they melt the paint right off the walls. Hancock and Shakti noted. I've heard of both but haven't gotten around to checking them out.

Any recommendations for a definitive Dubliners collection? I want one that covers all of their songs. I've seen some releases that don't include songs like "The Irish Rover," and I want them all.

For Herbie Hancock, def start with Head Hunters, and if you like that, check out everything he did in the early/mid 70's- Mwandishi, Crossings, Head Hunters, Sextant, and Thrust. You also might want to check out The Soft Machine, their first four albums are great, with the third being the most complex and noisy, and to me the most rewarding listen.

I've checked out some Hancock, Head Hunters and Mwandishi. I give him an enthusiastic thumbs-up. I'll admit that up to now, my exposure to him has consisted of "Rockit," which, although way cool in its own way, I didn't find compelling enough to put forth any effort to see what else he had done. I'm familiar with early Soft Machine. Robert Wyatt's one of my favorite drummers. me your dad posted:Some Fela Kuti, but I'm not the best person to point you to a specific album. Actually, that's a better recommendation than you may realize. I've heard a couple things of his by way of in-store play at a local indie record store I used to frequent. "What's that you have playing?" "Fela Kuti." "Oh, cool." So it impressed me enough to ask about it, but when it came time to buy something and go home, something else was a higher priority. I haven't thought about him in years, and the reminder is very much welcome.

For acoustic stuff, you could always go with some Loudon Wainright III. His album "A Live One" is just him and a guitar on stage. It's fantastic stuff and doesn't get too goofy like he has a tendency to do sometimes.

Can anyone recommend artists who do cool electronic and/or bass-heavy tunes without any singing - or, at the very least, where they keep the vocals simple, and to a minimum? For example, I like Orbital's Halcyon+On+On and Prodigy's Funky poo poo, but I don't like most of Skrillex's stuff. I tend to load the albums The Massacre by FantomenK and Caps On Hats Off by Bossfight into a playlist and run that for a while, but I'd like some suggestions that are less 8-bit (not that I'm averse to some more suggestions in the same vein as FantomenK or Bossfight). I like this type of music for background - when I'm doing homework, or just sitting reading the forums or playing a game or something - and vocals tend to distract me and take away from the music. I just want some cool beats that I can add to a Spotify playlist and leave it running on shuffle/repeat, and not get distracted by it. Suggestions?

Pretty Lights seems to be right up your street. Funky Electronica heavy on bass vocals are minimal on most tracks, has the ability to be background music when you want it to be but you can go to a live show and catch all the musical detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN9xrkguKZU

This is pretty good, thanks! I've also been enjoying some of The Glitch Mob, as recommended to me by a friend. More of this would be fantastic! I wouldn't mind some more stuff that has really heavy bass beats, a la Prodigy, as well.

Hello all, I'm looking for some strong bass music, powerful. Like, way stronger than '2 unlimited - get ready for this', something along the voltage of 'Amon Amarth - Free Will Sacrifice' or 'No Fear for the Setting Sun'. Not limited to metal only, rock is great too, or whatever you will find worth sharing . I'm not very savvy in music, excuse me.
