SylvainMustach posted:And on another note, I've had a particularly hard time finding anything truly similar to Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra. Well, Carla Bley composed a lot of the music they've played over the years, so you might check out some of her stuff. She did a collaboration with Gary Burton (vibraphonist) called A Genuine Tong Funeral that I think is excellent. She has composed a lot of music throughout the years, and I think the LMO and this are my two favorite places to go for her. Also maybe Escalator Over The Hill, which was her first major work. If you dig the experimental large jazz ensemble, try the Jazz Composers' Orchestra or the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Both were formed in the late 60s around the time that Haden and Bley got the LMO together. Diligent Deadite posted:I'm hoping someone can recommend me some more bands with a 'Desert Noir' kind of sound. What I'm looking for is alternative rock/country with cinematic sensibilities. Think Ennio Morricone or Robert Rodriguez. The following bands do what I'm looking for really well: Calexico and Firewater While they dabble in music from tons of other areas, I would say DeVotchKa could be a band you'd like. See if "The Enemy Guns" does anything for you, then jump headfirst into their albums. (that video has nothing to do with the song, it's just the first studio version I found on youtube) scumble fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Feb 2, 2009 |

Peglegington posted:A few weeks ago I had my whole collection on shuffle while doing some work (writing stuff) when Postal Service came on. I personally think they're just alright and don't listen to them that often, but I played through their one-and-only CD and it synced up with my work in such a way that I was really in the zone. Since then, whenever I do creative work I pop on that CD and groove and do some great work. The easiest thing to tell you is Dntel, which is the main project of one-half of the Postal Service (Jimmy Tamborello, I think? Probably spelled his name wrong). Ben Gibbard sticks to non-electronic stuff normally, so you probably won't want to follow him. I actually think there's a new album on the way, and at least two or three older ones you could get into. It's pretty much the same kind of thing- he makes the music and beats and gets a guest artist to do the vocals for each track.

Econosaurus posted:I just realized that violins/violas/chellos are amazing in pop songs. While he doesn't often use a full-on orchestra, Andrew Bird went to school for violin performance and used to play fiddle for the Squirrel Nut Zippers and is pretty much the man. He does lots of looping with his violin, be it plucking it like a mandolin or playing it with a bow. Try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV-IDVdDx78 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g48C0CEL0dQ or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRk2iHkOcNE PS cello doesn't have an h

The 80s have always been my weak decade but I'm really starting to love a lot of bands I've heard like the Vaselines, the dB's, the Buzzcocks, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Minutemen, The Dream Syndicate, etc.- basically 80s college radio material. Please recommend as many bands as possible that sound even remotely like these groups, I'm loving them.
