You guys have been awesome so far, so I'm pressing my luck Without lyrics: Nurse With Wound, Tetsu Inoue, Coil, Lustmord With lyrics: Einsturzende Neuebauten, Throbbing Gristle, Skinny Puppy, Wolves in the Throne Room and Burzum if you like metal genre would probably be 'ambient industrial' or 'dark ambient', a lot of 'goth/darkwave' and black/death metal also mix kind of soundscape songs with more musical stuff like opeth for example kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Aug 28, 2009 |

The Dentist posted:I just listened every Radiohead cd in chronological order. I've been a fan since OK Computer. I know that it's probably the most common and laughable occurrence for someone to ask for music that "sounds like Radiohead" when their influence on today's music is so huge. What I'm looking for, mostly out of desperation, is something that will blow my mind the way they did/do. I don't want to be that guy who listens to Radiohead all day. Because, right now, I AM that guy. I'm sorry. I know there's more out there. Pitchfork isn't really the best place to randomly try new music even if you like indie rock just because some of the stuff they like really sucks, unless you can get like their top 100 songs of the year and just go down and find out which ones you dig or something. But there really aren't any bands I'd describe as being 'like Radiohead' but also having their own identity. But based on the other ones I'd try The Shins, Fleet Foxes, Broken Social Scene, Cursive, Dirty Projectors, Modest Mouse, Wolf Parade, Pavement, The National and Brand New. And talk to FFB.

Skilleddk posted:I'm looking for some really raw and menacing electronic stuff, tracks like Stress by Justice, or Omen by The Prodigy. It's going to be mainly my playlist when I'm running. Big Beat is a good rec for stuff like The Prodigy but Stress is more like electro house, if you like that check out Digitalism, Mr. Oizo, Vitalic, Para One, Wolfgang Gartner, Surkin and D. Ramirez, and there's also a Justice thread floating around with more stuff along these lines

Man-In-Madden posted:Which electronic genre does this song by M83 fall under? I'm looking for some stuff similar to it. I'm not sure if this style has a name exactly (electropop maybe?) but it's the kind of retro-ish europop stuff that's been dominating electronic top 40s for the past couple years, just most of it has singing and this one happens to be instrumental.

HatchetDown posted:I'm HUGE fan of Gnarls Barkley. IMO they made two of the best albums in the history of music. Yet, they continued to surprise me with their talent when I heard the live version of their song Transformer that they recorded at Abbey Road(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTp17VO6Yws). I did get Danger's Grey Album downloaded but it's still in FLAC format(not sure how to convert it to mp3). As far as Cee-Lo goes I haven't really looked into his other work aside from a few Goodie Mob tracks. Recommendations? RJD2, Gorillaz, The Avalanches, The Fugees, De La Soul, The Roots, Handsome Boy Modelling School, N.E.R.D... also maybe check out classic funk, soul and r&b artists (Rick James, James Brown, Al Green) cause GB is as strongly influenced by that sound as they are by hip hop

Check out Ken Ishii, Digitalism, Surkin, Whitest Boy Alive / Erlend Oye, Cornelius, Bag Raiders, Pepe Bradock, Sebastien Leger, Daft Punk (i think of a lot of those Ed Banger and Institubes Records guys having a similar sound to Osawa so maybe pick up one of their compilation albums, or Kitsune Maison) ... you might also like minimal prog type house stuff like Trentemoller, Gui Boratto, Rex the Dog and Nathan Fake...

Hockles posted:Basically, I am starting to like some electronica, or what I would call electronica. I don't know artists or anything like that. I do have examples of songs I like though. Well, i would call this all 'trance', though the second is closer to hardstyle maybe. Try Gatecrasher and Ministry of Sound compilations and Armin Van Buuren's State of Trance. Probably at this point your best bet is to check out Ishkur's Guide and look in the trance section http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/ check out a few of those nodes and see which samples are the kind of stuff you like. Then get more songs by those artists, see what label they're on, etc.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:I am looking for compilation albums that are like the following Look up an artist you like on Discogs.com, see what label they're on (or the one they started out on), and if it's a decently sized indie label (or even a smaller subsidiary label) they probably release a compilation album at least once a year. Almost all labels release compilation albums, it's just that if it's a super huge label like Sony BMG they are a lot more likely to be 'Greatest Hits' albums by specific artists or 'Best Hits of ____ (some decade or fad of the past)' rather than contemporary songs. You also might try independent radio stations and music blogs/news sites that play a style of music you like, for instance KEXP puts out indie rock compilation albums pretty frequently. As for ones with a 'gimmick' like the albums where artists cover a particular artist's songs, I'm not really sure, the only thing I can think of is that they tend to get a lot of press so maybe read music blogs or the local alt rag or listen to NPR's music sections or something? kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Oct 9, 2009 |

Urban Wizard posted:I know it's not exactly kosher to ask for artists similar to one artist here, but last.fm hasn't really been giving me any results that I like. I'm looking for someone similar to Pendulum, and when I say that, I mean I'm really looking for the heavy, pounding style of the song Slam and/or the style presented in the songs Hold Your Colour and The Other Side. I haven't been able to find anything I like yet. Any help/recs would be appreciated, even if they're from last.fm. Pendulum kinda has their own unique style, they're generally the same tempo and stuff as 'jungle' so that's probably what Last.FM and stuff are recommending you, but compared to typical jungle like Aphrodite and Shy FX, Pendulum uses a less aggressive beat, they've also got the electro-pop vocals and synth stuff that's more like other Australian dance-pop bands. So, if you like the jungle type stuff with a fast beat and real gnarly bass, try Concord Dawn, Black Sun Empire and Noisia. Otherwise, maybe see if you like The Presets, Cut Copy or Midnight Juggernauts. Also try The Prodigy, and these are a little less similar but maybe try Rob Dougan and Apoptygma Berzerk.

If you like this check out Ninja Tune Records (especially the Herbalizer, Four Tet, Cinematic Orchestra and DJ Food), DJ Shadow and Thievery Corporation. If you like stuff that has rapping, try Nas, Q-Tip and Mobb Deep.

Schurik posted:I'm looking for some melodic wall-of-sound stuff, to block out some unwanted poo poo in my head. I like and and have had good experiences with Radiohead (i.e. Everything in it's right place), some stuff by Moby, the one or other NIN song, stuff like that. As long as I can blare it over headphones, it maintains this wall of sound while stying melodic, it helps. Any suggestion is appreciated, no matter how outlandish. You'll want to check out the downtempo or chillout genre for sure, it's atmospheric and generally instrumental music that has more of a beat and a melody than ambient so it's interesting without being distracting, and VERY well appreciated with headphones. Boards of Canada, Air, Future Sound of London, Ulrich Schnauss, Nosaj Thing and William Orbit are a pretty good spread of different styles.

cant wait to post!! posted:Can some of you fine gentlemen point me in a good direction to start off with Björk? I recently stumbled upon 2 of her tracks on youtube, "Hyperballad" and "Hunter," both of which I really digged. What is a good album to start off with? other similar songs? Get Homogenic (more slow and orchestral, it has Hunter, and you'll probably also like Joga, Bachelorette and All Is Full of Love) and Post (more dancey, it has Hyperballad and some other good tracks include Army of Me, Isobel, Possibly Maybe). In general, her albums go from more poppy and dancey to more abstract and ambient in chronological order, she doesn't really have a 'bad album'. Morganus_Starr posted:I'm always grooving to all the Mercury Program albums, and the new one is pretty good also. Can anyone recommend me any similar music? Mercury Program reminds me a lot of Maserati, Do Make Say Think, Red Sparowes and Tortoise. I don't think any of them use xylophones but they do use a wide variety of less typical instruments, and Tortoise especially has a really good drummer.

stairway to hippo posted:Are there any bands out there other than Zombi who make instrumental, synth-based music that's heavily indebted to 70's horror soundtracks? *edited shitpost into something more relevant before het smacks down with the banhammer* Compositionally Zombi's more like classic kraut/space/prog like Hawkwind, Ash Ra Tempel, Amon Duul II, Eloy, and Captain Beyond but for more synthy stuff you might try Morgan Geist, Quiet Village, and Lindstrom & Prins Thomas. That '70s horror' sound, if I'm thinking of the same stuff you are like Italian movies, has a characteristic 'disco-ish' element to it, which is experiencing a big revival lately even if there aren't many bands besides Zombi who combine disco and prog directly. These are a little more off the wall but maybe also give Here We Go Magic, Yeasayer, and Maserati a try... kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Dec 11, 2009 |

As for finding new artists, I would suggest looking up which labels some of your favorite artists release tracks on, and getting other releases. I'm not really a dubstep head so there's probably stuff more similar to what you talk about but a few artists releasing good stuff that aren't too wobbly are Martyn, Joy Orbison, Rustie, Mala and Nosaj Thing.

Regression posted:I'm always thankful if anyone introduces me to any melancholic house music (I'm pretty clueless)! Been watching the electro/house thread, but it tends to be more dancy music there. Check out this track and if it's kind of along the lines of what you're thinking of, try Gui Boratto, The Field, James Holden, Nathan Fake and Jesse Somfay. All house is pretty dancey though, just some of it is in a minor key  There's a lot of stuff that I'd kinda call 'sunrise house' in the deep house kind of sphere that is a little more 'romantic' and less 'cheerful' I guess, if you think like this house is 'melancholy', it's not as dirgey and repetitive as the minimal and progressive stuff can get.

baberaham lincoln posted:I'm looking for 90's breakbeat hardcore/jungle/drum'n'bass recs. I started at a weird place, with Zomby's Where Were U In 92 and have enjoyed Bong-Ra, 2 Bad Mice, Grooverider (I've only heard Mysteries of Funk, which isn't really as dance-y as I had hoped) and (to a lesser degree) Plug. I'm a little intimidated by all the singles and dub plates out there, so albums or compilations would be better. Definitely check out Shitmat - Full English Breakfest for more on the kind of crazy breakcore side of things a la Bong Ra. For compilation albums of classic breakbeat hardcore, a few I found on discogs with nice tracklists for that genre are Rave Alert released on Telstar records, Best of Rave from Low Price Music, and Raving Mad from Elevate, but understand that since this is a niche genre that's been dead for like 15 years now and most of the originals WERE 12" only and not released on official cd albums, compilations of the 'classics' are going to be increasingly out of print, you might even hit up a record store with a good 'discount cd' section and see if you find anything good there. As for classic jungle, there's one called 'Old Skool Jungle' from Relentless Records that is sick and seems pretty easy to find. Sorry about the vague names but that's compilation records for you, other than major series they're all 'Ultimate *Genre*" or "*Genre* Hits"...

PDMChubby posted:A probably pretty generic/obvious request, but I have such a hard time finding this: psychedelic, spacey, guitar/organ-driven types of songs or artists. Basically the sound I'm looking for is Bowie's "Moonage Daydream", Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like An Eagle", and Pink Floyd's "Time" (and to a lesser extent, the rest of DSotM). Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" also has a similar style I guess. Anything similar to those would be greatly appreciated. You should check out the entire genres of space rock and krautrock, really. Try Captain Beyond, Amon Duul II, Eloy, Hawkwind and Gong to begin with. Also, I don't think you mentioned how much you are already into progressive but Gentle Giant, Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer and Caravan are all good and have a lot of mellower songs more along these lines.
