Disco Pope posted:You know what, they were a presence when I was a kid and probably way too young to appreciate them, so I hadn't thought about them. Good call! That's exactly the way I felt about Portishead. When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, I listened to the stuff my older sisters did, and felt like I was supposed to like Portishead but never could appreciate them. It wasn't until I was about 25 that I finally came around, despite having found Massive Attack in high school.

Lester Shy posted:I know I'm very late the to the party, but who should I check out if I like Megadeth and don't care for the other "Big Four" bands at all? Slayer's too monotone and grind-y, Metallica's fine but a little boring and Anthrax just does nothing for me. I dig how proggy and melodic a lot of Megadeth songs are. Elder, specifically the albums Dead Roots Stirring, Lore, and Reflections of a Floating World They’re not really that close in sound to Megadeath, but they’re proggy and melodic, especially in Reflections of a Floating World. Very much metal but pretty accessible. HenryJLittlefinger fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Mar 8, 2020 |

Disco Pope posted:Some great recommendations, thanks folks. By sheer chance, I stumbled on the exact sound I was looking for this morning when messaging my partner about Ghost Box records in The Pattern Forms I held off on mentioning Boards of Canada and Burial earlier because I didn't actually know what Hauntology is, and finally got around to reading the wikipedia page and there they were. I like Burial but find it kind of boring after an hour, but he's for sure got the low-fi melancholy in the exact center of a huge space sound. Boards of Canada puts me in a really weird way, so I have to be in the right headspace to listen to them, but it's hard to do exactly what they do better than them. Their track Gyroscope uses a clip from a numbers station and it'll make you feel strange. Most of their catalog is really good at evoking images, feelings, or concepts that aren't there explicitly. It seems like the core of hauntology doesn't include them, but it's interesting in the same way.

Yeah, I'm listening to Music Has The Right To Children right now and that's very accurate. It's kind of interesting to scroll through the comments section on their youtube videos, basically every one of them has a dozen comments talking about how the music makes them feel, images it creates, or memories it stirs up. That kind of stands out from other music to me.

Jack B Nimble posted:These are great, thanks! I don't know how strict you want to stick to a.) ballads or b.) traditional, but Gillian Welch/Dave Rawlings Machine, Aoife O'Donovan, Sara Jarosz, and Sarah Watkins all do a lot of older songs that are familiar enough to feel like a traditional even though they're attributable to a different musician. Gospel, folk, bluegrass, old time included. Same for Rhiannon Giddens, though she is a fantastic historian of spirituals, hymns, gospel, slave songs, maybe even some Gullah music. Again, not all ballads or true traditionals, but old and familiar(ish) folk songs. Elizabeth Cotten is amazing for who she was and deserves to be more of a legend in my opinion. She was on the bluesier end of folk.

Sonny Landreth is a hell of a slide player though. Robert Randolph plays slide sometimes, and some of his earlier stuff leans bluesy, but he’s mostly pedal steel gospel. Mostly instrumental as well.

Gospel trends New Testament from my experience. There’s a fair amount of old “washed in the blood” and “onward Christian soldiers” type hymns, but Christian music in general tends to be a little more uplifting, “when we all get to His house,” “my soul is paid for,” and the like, especially gospel. That said, Ricky Skaggs, Carter Family, etc. Most of the old bluegrass heroes did a lot of gospel because that’s what a huge amount of the American side of the genre sprung from. Now if you want string music about sinning and death with the vengeful god element, there are bands like The Goddamn Gallows, Jayke Orvis, The .357 String Band, etc. Not gospel, not exactly bluegrass either, but soundtrack material for modern grit and twang tv shows. Check in the country music thread, too.

Yeah, kind of weird ideas about both all metal and also all other music being kind of a cartoon. Anyhow, if you want melodic, technically proficient, tongue in cheek metal, Korpiklaani is up there. Finntroll also, but they're a little thrashier. I think it's funny that nobody has mentioned Dethklok yet, because they are literally a cartoon poking fun at metal while also being pretty high quality death metal. I listen to the first Dethalbum all the time.

I'm looking for something with a real wide open spaces deserty sound, not too heavy and not quite all the way on the Ennio Morricone spaghetti western score end of things. I really like Friends of Dean Martinez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah4n5W37QK0 and I'm pretty well tapped into desert rock, with Yawning Man being my favorite in that genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Weip92Bno But right now I want something not as fuzzy as desert rock, few vocals if any, and evocative of dust, far off horizons, perpetual stillness, etc.

Kvlt! posted:I'm looking for more stuff like R.L. Burnside's "rear end Pocket Full of Whiskey" or Neil Young and Crazy Horse's "Weld". Specific things I'm looking for are that really overblown, speaker-breakup guitar tone and the general overall kinda raw, vintage "these amps are gonna blow any minute" rocking. The bluesier the better but not necessarily required. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd72zpSUQCs There are some bands out there that do Hill Country-adjacent stuff (i.e., covers of Burnside's stuff) decently, or capture the sound well. Early Black Keys is heavily influenced by the genre, and they even made an album of Junior Kimbrough's songs called Chulahoma. It's loving great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_gvcxcyQMU I also really like Left Lane Cruiser. Their first album is truer to the sound and really sounds like a hosed up amp about to burst into flames. The rest of their stuff is just as loud and nasty and rowdy, but pretty silly too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prS5iu-W2GU If you're ever in Mississippi in June, stop by the North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic. It is a blast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiaHxZqxguw

Kvlt! posted:This post is an amazing rabbit hole, thank you im having a hell of a time exploring all this Please get into it and spread it wide. Hill Country blues is a dying art form. A lot of people know the names Burnside, McDowell, and Kimbrough, but don't realize they were playing something distinct from Memphis and Delta blues. Broadly, it's all Mississippi blues, but the Hill Country stuff is really stripped down and a straight line back to the slave-turned-sharecropper culture. It's not city blues, it's dirt-floored shack, goat-roasting, juke joint American poverty music. For names and sources to look into, Alan Lomax did a lot to document it back in the 70s, and Fat Possum Records has the last handful of Hill Country artists today. Probably the oldest bits of it, fife and drum blues, are mostly already gone. Othar Turner was kind of the end of that style when he died. His granddaughter, Sharde Thomas, carries it on today, but it's basically extinct. Traditionally the fifes are sugarcane, which were a major crop in Mississippi iirc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oyqf-jf2B_4 I was at this show and while it doesn't seem like much from the video, it was kind of a moving performance when you realize it's just a bunch of kids doing their best to keep a part of their culture alive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUjxGra9uBw Anyhow, back to the dirty guitar end of the genre, also check out T-Model Ford. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3V2GWlcUg4 He was a trucker until his 70s, when he decided to become a bluesman. I saw one of his last performances and he was so deep into dementia that he was practically carried onto the stage, had a guitar put in his hands, and played the same song about 4 times until he was too tired. It was sad but also really impressive. HenryJLittlefinger fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Oct 29, 2020 |

I’d like recommendations for soundtracks or film scores all done by one artist or group not normally considered a film scorer. Or if not that precisely, scores by non-traditional film scorers. Think Tosca Tango Orchestra’s Waking Life, Amon Tobin’s Taxidermia, or Ry Cooder’s Paris, Texas rather than John Williams, Clint Mansell, or Ennio Morricone.
