I guess the common trait I notice is that they're usually centered around piano/organ/string instruments, or completely orchestrated.
So yeah, I'll listen to anything that's recommended, regardless of genre or artist. Thanks!

There's another, more specific request I'd like to make, and that's "hard pop". It's hard for me to describe, but it's a sort of aggressive electronic pop music that seems to be a British sort of thing.

Laurie Anderson is weird as gently caress and I love it. Anybody know much about her? Apparently she's pretty famous in experimental/electronic circles.

A friend just made a mix for me with her song "Word of Mouth" on it. I've never heard anything like it. Does anybody have any info/further recommendations on this woman?

I'm having a hard time finding bands like Disturbed.

I like the moderately heavy theme, with intelligible lyrics with even some funk-like riffs thrown in on occasion, while staying upbeat.

I suppose it's rock/metal or somesuch.

Edit: Also, I'm a complete NMD moron. Please forgive me.

Please tell me, by the way, if I am completely wrong about what the sound I'm describing here. I'm terrible at describing music.

I'm looking for more downtempo, ambient, IDM, or lounge music. Any trip-hop artists you think fit are more than welcome, as well as anything you generally consider stony/trippy AND relaxed. Artists I've enjoyed recently/in this category are Waldeck, DJ Food, the Artificial Intelligence series, Thievery Corporation, Nicola Conte, Prefuse 73, Boards of Canada (will always be in love with BoC), The Herbaliser, DJ Shadow...Thanks!

I'm looking for some good nautical/ocean themed albums to listen to. I don't really want any gimmicky stuff like Alestorm, but metal is fine.

looking for progressive rock help.

i'm buying a prog rock cd for my brother, and I know he really likes dream theater a lot. i have no idea about this genre, but i've been looking into it and i think Porcupine Tree might be a good band to pick from? they have tons of albums though, which one would be best for a dream theater fan? or is there another band that he might like more?

help!

Are there any other artists that pull a Venetian Snares Rossz csillag alatt született and combine orchestra music with bizarre, frenetic drums?

So I'm looking for something. I listen to a lot of metal. Mostly progressive technical stuff (Symphony X, Dream Theater, Leprous, etc) and a lot of death metal, but I'm looking for something less screamy.

Now that I think about it, I'd like to hear some music that sounds like it would perfectly fit coming out of Maynard James Keenan's mouth. I haven't had a lot of time to take a look at these suggestions, but maybe it would help narrow it down to: poo poo that sounds kinda like Tool/MJK I guess?? Katatonia from above is a good fit, for example.

A friend of mine is looking for inspiration for some concept art he's been put in charge of creating for a videogame.

Without going into too much detail (confidentiality and what not), the setting seems to be equal parts eutopian and dystopian, with a healthy dose of H.P. Lovecraft. Pretty broad reach, surely, but each can get pretty specific.

Does anyone have any acts or albums (or even single songs) that would match any of these? So far he's said artists like Gazelle Twin, Fever Ray, and Woodkid have done it, and he's asked specifically for "tribal beats."

Thanks!
