I'm finding that I'm really digging a lot of stuff by The Glitch Mob, especially the stuff featuring female vocalists like Aja Volkman and Metal Mother. The specific tracks I really, really like are Our Demons, Becoming Harmonious, and Fly By Night Only. I also really like the Zircon tracks featuring Jillian Aversa - Breathing You In and Antigravity. I prefer the vocals to be kept simple and to a minimum in my elctronic music. I like these tracks because it's more about the music than the vocals, and the vocals are used to effectively punctuate the music, they don't overshadow it. Tracks like Zircon's Shadows are far too vocals-heavy for me. I don't want my electronic music to be actual songs with lyrics, if that makes any sense. The first three tracks up there by Glitch Mob, though? I could listen to stuff exactly like that all drat day long and not get sick of it, and I'd love suggestions for more stuff that sounds like that

Salem, Balam Acab, oOoOo, Holy Other, Lake Radio, Clams Casino, etc. I saw on Twitter today that Balam Acab has a new one coming out pretty soon. Can anyone recommend some good albums in that vein on what I've mentioned? Or I guess good stuff from whatever witch house became as it progressed/evolved/whatever? please dont lump clams in with salem and company for content: you might like blue sky black death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N27a-yzDuYw

Personally a fan of Certified Air Raid Material, though it's got some hiphop lyricism on certain tracks.

I'm into the 2 Tone and mod revival stuff - the new wave period immediately after punk but before it all went bands with synths, frilly shirts and silly haircuts - but I'd be keen on recommendations for American bands which played a similar sort of style in the same period. The only one I'm familiar with is the Pretenders and then only their first album. Ta.

This isn't a band-specific recommendation request, but there was a site called The Silent Ballet specializing in instrumental/jazz/neo-classical/post-rock that would do a top 100 albums list every year. I discovered a lot of my favorites from that site (ODESZA, Ous Mal, Tycho, to name a few), but now both it and its offshoot site, Fragile or Possibly Extinct, appear to be dead. Are there any blogs going that are good for those genres, especially ones that do a best-of wrap up?

El Gallinero Gros posted:Where should I start with Lustmord? Black Stars, Heresy, Stalker - those tend to be the ones people remember as being super consistently good. there's a couple of other ones where you might listen to them and figure out that they're kinda annoying because of either somewhat corny sound design or irritating repeated vocal samples or both and you wouldn't be wrong if that happened to be your perception.

Good afternoon Goons, it's crunch time at the workplace and I need music to keep me sane and in the zone. In the olden days of 1995-2005 I would listen to really fast, upbeat techno stuff downloaded from Morpheus and Kazaa and Limewire (Jesus, was it really that long ago?) to accomplish that sort of thing, but I wouldn't know the first thing about finding what I'm looking for with all the named genres out there today. I want things I can dance (in my chair, to the chagrin of my coworkers) to with a fast tempo. Female vocals are nice but not a nessecity.

Well, this is something that might be a rather specialized request, but here goes. I'd like to find a few more tracks with piano similar to the solos here: David Bowie, Aladdin Sane (solo starts at about 2:02) Bill Nelson's Red Noise, For Young Moderns (solo starts at about 3:36) Any genre, artist, or period is fine. I wouldn't even limit it to piano, but I'm not sure you could get the same effect with anything else. Also, is there a name for that style?

So I've been listening to FreQuency's Sunrise album, and I was wondering who I should be listening to if I want more of this style. Specifically songs like Day After Day, Vanishing, and Days. Hoping you can help me here because I really have no idea where to start when it comes to looking for music. Reds fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Jan 7, 2016 |

I've recently started getting into late-Romantic classical music and a bit of kosmische musik, but I find the latter excessively minimalist for my tastes unless I'm really, really high. Is there something that sounds like mid-'70s Klaus Schulze or Tangerine Dream but with much denser arrangements and more complex compositions to make it a bit more like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrrtL5rl5io Or this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQbh0idT1JE But of course all electronic and spacey and  It should not sound like rock music either.

I'm interested in psychedelic guitar music...maybe along the lines of Acid Mothers Temple though it doesn't have to be a project that large and crazy. Something that can vary between energetic/wild and spacey/relaxing...but consistently psychedelic and guitar-based.

Does AFI have any more songs as catchy as The Boy Who Destroyed The World and Dancing Through Sunday? I've tried going through a bunch of their songs on YouTube, but those two appear to be the exception, not the rule. Similar situation with Alien Ant Farm, who tend to make slow dreary songs aside from Smooth Criminal, Wish, and S.S. Recognize, and Billy Talent, who sound whiney and bland outside of Try Honesty and Red Flag. P.S. I don't give a poo poo about the punk scene, or selling out, or the motive behind a song - I just know what I like, and I want to hear more of it.

Can anyone recommend me something similar to Mr. Oizo's most recent releases since moving to brainfeeder? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tvYMsWTov4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUpjHBDJn5M Basically looking for instrumental electro that's hard to the point of being borderline abrasive with longer, more complex melodies all still over a simple, dancy beat.

This is a question which is really hard to google so I figured maybe this would be a good place to ask. I'm an English teacher (in Germany) and one of the topics in the 11th grade is "Multicultural Britain". I'm looking for (a) song(s) by a British singer or band which my students can analyze with regard to the depiction of multicultural Britain presented therein. My students are ~18 years old so lyrics can be as explicit as I want them to, but the song should be worthy of examination in class. To give you an example, one of my textbooks recommends "home" by Bloc Party but I don't want to use it since it's probably too far removed from my students. If any Brits could help me out, I'd appreciate it a lot.

There's probably loads of stuff like that in grime & uk rap, and MIA would probably have something fitting (and the kids might've heard of her), but I can't think of more fitting examples right now. If you wanna get more academic (not that the music isn't some of the greatest ever created), Linton Kwesi Johnson's entire oeuvre is about the struggle of Caribbeans in Britain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlF159U0kZ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlrqPweVpnU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aMT1ld9RMc

They were conceived as a multicultural band, and their music and message were explicitly multicultural; they were a skinhead band that combined punk with ska and wanted to prevent the skinhead revival from being hijacked by the National Front and the British Movement.
