I need more music like "Let's Go away for Awhile" off of Pet Sounds. To elaborate, I'm pretty much looking for interesting instrumental music be it classical, post-rock, ambient, or ideally some avante-garde stuff that a mainstream musician made and never got any love. Only thing I'm partially averse to are most forms of electronica, but I'll still check anyting out. Stuff like Yann Tierson is great, and I'm also looking for alternate recommendations for similiar artists, but what I'm specifically looking for has much more of a psychedelic pop/instrumental rock vibe. Lack of vocals are a plus, but not necessary. Olivia Tremor Control is one of my favorite bands ever, and they would be perfect if their instrumental tracks weren't just experimental transitions.

etard knievel posted:Check out Quiet Village, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jean Michel Jarre, Harmonia, Ozric Tentacles, Mike Oldfield, Mercury Rev, Philip Glass, Henry Cow and Medeski, Martin & Wood. Other bands I can think of that have a lot of songs like what you've described but also have vocal and/or more uptempo rockin stuff are Procol Harum, Marillion, Porcupine Tree and Tortoise. Also you mentioned that you don't like electronic, but if you change your mind, give Royksopp, Wagon Christ, Atom Heart, The Cinematic Orchestra, Cornelius and Tangerine Dream a try. Wow man, everything's great so far, thanks. Gotta say that I liked your drawings back when I still kept up with phiz, too. Final Fart Buttball posted:The Tumbled Sea. Look up 'melody/summer' and 'songs by the tumbled sea'

I'm looking for some 60's-70's psychedelic pop, except with slow or mid tempo, like a somber Brian Wilson tune. Specifically, I'm looking for stuff with layered instrumentation, soul-influenced vocals, or otherwise songs by people who are clearly tripping balls with sitars and flutes and poo poo, and less of that 13th Floor Elevators garage rock sound.

Rollersnake posted:You might like Nirvana (no, the other Nirvana), but they're maybe a bit more twee than what you're looking for. Also, Sagittarius. I am really digging Sagittarius, and Nirvana's not too bad, thanks a bunch! Man, it's so easy for Apple and Them to get glossed over, it's such a bummer they didn't produce any more hits.

I'm looking for 70's era folk/singer-songwriters with a melodramatic acoustic sound. Subjectively speaking, I am looking for songs that are subtle and mellow rather than overwrought and sappy in the vein of Neil Young, Chris Bell, and Nick Drake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jxjv0HkwM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pte3Jg-2Ax4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi2XCsPKlY8 Or some harder stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAIMhKQh6DY

I'm liking everything I'm hearing so far, although specifically I am looking for songs that are a bit more low-tempo. Something in the vein of Elliot Smith. Another thing, I tend to stay away from songs about relationships/women and prefer something a little more universal (e.g. drug abuse and depression). That's like a niche inside of a niche.
