I just heard Bedouin Love Song by David Broza on SkyFM, and it's one of the coolest songs I've heard in a while, and I would love to hear more like it. So I guess I'm looking for high-energy music with a middle eastern hebew/arabic sound. Edit: And can anyone figure out what album that rendition is from? Neither me nor the YouTube uploader seems to be able to. And in the same vein I recently came across Shpongle, and I really dig the ethnic sound it has going on. Can anyone recommend other electronica (or other "modern genres" or whatever you want to call it) that incorporates ethnic instruments?

And posting a new request that's hard to find anything on: I'm looking for fast-paced spanish guitar type music like the Ace Combat Zero theme or the middle of Neal Morse's The Conflict (can't find a sample on youtube, so I guess you're lost unless you've heard it). Basically the energetic kind, not the melancholic stuff. Accompaniment, like in the Ace Combat Zero theme, is a great bonus.

I'm looking for high energy/intensity acoustic guitar music. The only real example I can think of Shir Ahava Bedoui/Bedouin love song by David Broza. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17r9JoG_If4 Right around the 3:50 mark is the epitome of what I'm talking about. Just great stuff that pumps you up. It doesn't need to be middle eastern inspired music, but I really love the sound. Sorry that I can't name more examples. I've heard more examples, but I rarely catch or remember the name of them. Edit: And I'll be grateful for any general recommendations for good hebrew/arabic/middle eastern music.

Munky from KORN posted:This is a little vague - do you want stuff like this? gently caress, I forgot to post the youtube link I was going to post  :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17r9JoG_If4 Sorry, hope that clears it up. Regarding your link; not quite so, uh, Jewish? (mostly the parts that you'd connect with people being in weddings and saying "Oppa!") I mentioned Hebrew because David Broza sings in Hebrew, and I really love the sound he has going on. I've heard the same kind of music played with all kinds of different instruments before, but I have a rather poor memory when it comes to remembering this stuff, hence the vagueness, I apologize for that.

I recently started listening to a lot of Hip Hop again. I'm a big fan of Aesop Rock, SA's own Satellite High, The Roots, Childish Gambino, Kanye West and the like. What I've really got the taste for now is really rich and epic stuff like POWER and Watch the Throne, so can anyone recommend anything similar?

I'm looking for some new calm, melancholy, instrumental music to add to my collection. Neoclassical, classical, whatever really. I've listened to a lot of orchestral music lately, so I'd love to hear something a little more low key. A quartet or something, I don't know. Something like: Ólafur Arnalds Jóhann Jóhannsson Dario Marianelli Greg Haines Chopin Ludovico Einaudi Some examples of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJM6ufyH1lc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDFasBHOnOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLFd04IzTCs Black Griffon fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Sep 15, 2013 |

I'm looking for stuff similar to Carina Round. Something with female vocals and a melancholic feel, with a little distortion here and there and maybe some riot grrrl elements. My favorites by her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlCg6nbXhZM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKqgE8z7PcA "The Disconnection", which I can't find on Youtube. I've also been listening a lot to Metric lately, which shares some of the same qualities, so I'll throw it in there, although it's a lot more upbeat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jiQ1QpNSkA

I've tried Wolfmother, but it doesn't quite hit the spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhCnXVVDv1k

A couple of weeks ago I listened to Dream of Stone by Gazpacho, and now I'm tired, confused and the only thing I know is that my Spotify history is just a long, unbroken row of this wonderful, beautiful band. I really don't know where to go from here, I think Night might just be the best thing I've ever heard, and I don't know how to top that. Is there anything out there that manages to balance an emotional, powerful, proggy and rich sound the way Gazpacho does?

Rollersnake posted:Marillion are probably Gazpacho's biggest influence—and despite the band's official stance on their name, I'm pretty sure they named themselves after the Marillion song rather than the soup. There's not really any one Marillion album I'd associate most with Gazpacho's sound on Night, but I'd recommend starting with Marbles. Hooplah posted:This is my first listen of Gazpacho, but I'm getting a major Porcupine Tree vibe- specifically Fear of a Blank Planet I'm so happy now. Last time I listened to Mew was back when Am I wry was big on the radio. I had no idea they'd gone in such an awesome direction (and the earlier albums were pretty awesome on their own, so yeah). Porcupine tree is a favorite of mine, and thanks for the Marillion tip. I've always had a little trouble knowing where to start with them, both because of the size of their discography and the amount of stuff they make that's just so weird.

I'm looking for concept/storytelling albums in the vein of Hadestown by Anaďs Mitchell and The hazards Of Love by The Decemberists. It doesn't have to be folksy or even indie, but no awkward prog metal please. Good prog metal is fine, it's just that there's so much loving awkward prog metal that tries to tell a story. Mix of male and female vocals is ideal. Oliver Reed posted:Any suggestions for instrumental*, beautiful, ethereal-sounding electronic albums? Subgenre is irrelevant, just as long as it's electronic music fundamentally. Check out Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm. They might be a bit too orchestral/classical for what your're asking, but they've all got some stuff that's predominantly electronic and it's totes amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udwq9fWKwmY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2wCh3RKd40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZJobS0Wh40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkBpR4g9LqY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVLp_igUBBc This one is not at all electronic, but eh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yFLa40DyUE And if you fell for the orchestral elements of their music, check out Jóhann Jóhannson. And In The Endless Pause There Came The Sound Of Bees and IBM 1401 is mostly orchestral, but they're ethereal and beautiful like nothing else.

I'm looking for music that's devastatingly sad and beautiful in the style of Hand Cannot Erase, and specifically in the style of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XTo6bNmX2I And: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXuLgg6f9JI There's nothing by Steven Wilson I haven't listened to, so I've been through his similar stuff in his various projects, but I'm having trouble finding something that has the kind of relatable story and concept that Hand has, and doesn't veer into weird and tacky Dream Theater kitsch. Genre keywords would be prog-rock, ambient, spoken word, electronic and symphonic, I guess.

Carrie & Lowell, both the studio album and the live album, is a soul crushing experience about Sufjan Stevens' mother and him coming to terms with her death.

A song by Kwoon popped up on my weekly Spotify and now I'm craving some really pretty, sad and melancholic post-rock. Unclear, mumbly or floaty vocals, or just instrumental. Always appreciate something with a good buildup. Less hopeful than Sigur Ros. If heavy, still harmonic. Good for depression, but sit-and-be-sad depression, not get-the-anger-out depression. See example (long) for a summary: https://open.spotify.com/track/6wsw4svgcv4G0N5fOtCKmb?si=iBbptDKIQu2JDvdT7iWmdA Other references could be GYBE's saddest stuff (Static, Dead Flag Blues etc.)

hi I'm Sad About a Girl and I'm finding that Cult of Luna is really hitting the spot for me rn. What's good if I want 1. Complex, heavy, post-metal melodies. 2. A dark, melancholic, somewhat angry but not furious tone. A source of catharsis for grim feelings without being cheesily dark. 3. Gritty vocals and clean vocals intertwined. Most obvious comparison is Isis, which is similar to CoL, but more everyday listening. Faves from the Cult is their newest album A Dawn to Fear and the older Somewhere Along the Highway, but I like them across the board. https://open.spotify.com/album/5wF8QXoGV5Woz6EzfZjMZC?si=OAZnofi-R0aMY2Jcez7t3w https://open.spotify.com/album/23ISdAi8LzEGzhYETnQe8Q?si=F-CEiQUwSMCFbgZXBuiuMA

Dog Days Are Over by Florence is one of my favorite upbeat, positive songs (though I've never actually listened to the lyrics, so it could be about the Rwandan genocide I guess), No Cars Go by Arcade Fire, Dr. Yang and two score other songs by Ben Folds (nearly everything that isn't crushingly sad is pretty happy, Dr. Yang was the first one I saw in my spotify faves). And the entirety of Jon H. Benjamn's incredibly stupid album Well I should Have... (Learned How To Play Piano).
