Hey recommendation thread, while we're still on the topic of jazz, is there anyone who could point me in the right direction for getting started on bossa nova? I've loved all of the genre I've heard and I like playing bossa nova inspired rhythms on piano when I'm jamming with friends, but I admittedly know very little about the genre. I find it to be a very relaxing style. I want to start out with some of the classics.

Are you open to ska music at all? There are plenty of bands who are more pop and rock influenced than the typical "ska punk" people are used to hearing. "A Shaky Truce" by The Pomps

Especially on the 'funkier' side ("Around the World", "Starlight").

Then you'll most certainly enjoy The Mermen, who do sort of a krautrock/psychedelic instrumental surf rock. They hit hard and mess around with feedback a bit on some songs, but others should be up your alley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lnzPn3T3QQ (song starts at 0:35) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of6o936sRXM

Can I get some recommendations for songs that sound similar to Jeff Mills' "The Bells"? I'm really getting into Detroit techno, but a lot of it is so harsh on the ears. What I really like about this song is that all the tones are still mechanical and cold, but they have a softness to the way they hit. Even the 909 drives but doesn't irritate.

Can anyone point me to some harder, ideally no wave influenced (Contortions mostly), dance-punk acts like !!!'s first single? Their later stuff is too light and poppy for what I'm looking for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrvokWnMtzk Other bands I'm into with a similar style: Measles Mumps Rubella, Brainiac, Liars' first album. DFA 1979 is okay but I wish they were a fuller band.

Thanks for the recommendations!izationalizer posted:The Soul Jazz compilations "In the Beginning There Was Rhythm" and "New York Noise" are good introductions to the first generation of no wave-y dance-punk, featuring tunes by the likes of The Pop Group (whose LP "Y" is also essential), A Certain Ratio, etc. I'm aware of and like a lot of the first generation recommendations like Gang of Four and A Certain Ratio. Didn't know about The Pop Group and a couple artists on those comps, so I'll have to check them out. As much as I like this era and genre, the production from the time was often so Martin Hannett-esque space that the groove would get lost in the reverb. You know anything that matches the sober rawness of No New York, production wise? Can be any post-punk, doesn't have to be dancey. Misc fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Nov 24, 2017 |

Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXgwyGear6k or the Pet Shop Boys version of "Always on my Mind." And yes, I already know about the Pet Shop Boys, New Order, and Depeche Mode. But I know there's much more stuff out there I don't know about. Not sure how much of the obvious you know about, but: Soft Cell (they're more than just Tainted Love!), Yazoo (go by Yaz in the States), Erasure (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiKVjS3gR88) Honestly, a lot of the echo drenched synthpop rubs me the wrong way compared to plinkier, more intimate stuff.

Panama Red posted:I'm looking for bands that could be classified as post-punk revival, but divided according to whether they adhere more to garage rock or new wave. It's a little jarring to be listening to something that could be classified as dance-punk or synth-punk and then hear something that is closer to noise rock. It really got under my skin that music media classified bands like Interpol and the White Stripes in the same scene when they were most definitely not. I guess the Strokes were kinda in both areas. I'd even separate a lot of dance-punk groups from the post-punk revival, if we were really splitting hairs. For instance, I wouldn't lump Editors in with The Rapture and Moving Units. Can't really help you on the garage revival end of things much but check out: Parquet Courts - "Ducking & Dodging" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCrEMGj6Inw Cloud Nothings - "I'm not part of me" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74TP8QhupLU but for the post-punk stuff you touched on a lot of the big names, here's some mostly deeper cuts: Bloc Party - "Banquet" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdkmhquF60o The Prids - "Shadow and Shadow" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs6-6nLGddY Hotels - "Atlantic" https://hotels.bandcamp.com/track/atlantic The Helio Sequence - "Keep Your Eyes Ahead" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8LIwXI0EI0 Wild Nothing - "Shadow" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4xTXB30hCQ I also made this dance-punk playlist on spotify. If that's something you don't use I can list some trax out. A lot of those bands did blur into noise rock, as you sort of mentioned: https://open.spotify.com/user/1231267262/playlist/5WWaHERjrSehGe1iBhY6YF EDIT: for some much more recent post-punk acts check out Viet Cong/Preoccupations and Ought. I guess I should also recommend Savages, but I don't really like them: Viet Cong - "Unconscious Melody" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBC1h2D9rgw Ought - "The Weather Song" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu77nn6UKao Savages - "Husbands" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmJ_mcvRQsI Misc fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Mar 28, 2017 |

glam rock hamhock posted:Kind of a vague request but can people suggest to me some songs of pretty much any genre that sound amazing and have something generally added to them by listening to them with headphones? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRhg7qPLeN8 "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics has some fun stereo effects that sound cool on cans. The video is, of course,  but it's a mono mix on youtube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsmaTq-T4zE Thanks to Steve Albini's engineering, you can hear the room mics picking up non-amplified guitar strumming in the opening of "Wasted Days" by Cloud Nothings. It's harder to make that out on speakers and it gives you the vibe that you're in the room with the band.

Any recommendations for more stuff like "Treason" by Naked Raygun? The rest of the album that it's on isn't really as anthemic. The talky bits kind remind me of Slint's Tweez, which I like more than Spiderland (unpopular opinion!). Reminds me of "For Want Of" by Rites of Spring, too.
