SeraphSlaughter posted:Recommend me instrumental stuff with a focus on guitar, preferably along the lines of stuff like Kaki King (even though she has vocals in some songs), Explosions in the Sky, 65daysofstatic, etc. Check out Don Caballero. Taxxorrak posted:Hi guys. If you don't already know them, check out Last Exit. Sonny Sharrock and friends playing at thrash metal tempos. Victim's Family may also be along the lines of what you're looking for, they're not really "free" in that they don't improvise much but the music is very complex and very intense. swampland posted:Hi, seeking sprawling, disturbing, disjointed albums. The kind that will keep you up at night and half stop your heart. Swans have already been mentioned, but I suggest checking out their earlier stuff too. I haven't listened to them in a while but I recall liking Filth and Cop/Young God.

IS A CRACKBABY posted:So I need some music. I'm into many types of music, but my favorite has to be Indie/Folk, such as the following; I know people have already recommended a bunch of really great artists, but I want to suggest Horse Feathers, they really capture the indie-folk feel and are extremely relaxing. Give them a try. snakeater fucked around with this message at 13:41 on Apr 13, 2009 |

I'm currently looking into getting into rap and hip-hop I enjoyed Flobot's Fight With Tools, and just got P.O.S.'s Never better. I really enjoy that kind of raw/harsh sound, so something along those lines would be great. I also have heard and enjoyed tracks by Geto Boys and Blackalicious Really I'm just trying to find a good place to jump in from.

I'm having a party in a few weeks, and I want to have a great playlist going on. To describe what I'm looking for, I was at the bar the other night, and there was a DJ mixing old motown songs. The mixes were subtle, and it took me a little while to even notice there was a difference between what he was playing and the original. It was enough for everyone to really get into the music though and want to go and dance. Other than that, any suggestions would be great really. Edit: My last party mix was rather indie pop heavy. While I thought it was good, a lot of people don't really get into it. 1) Alphabeat - Fascination 2) The Ting Tings - Great DJ 3) Los Campesinos! - My Year In Lists 4) Animal Collective - My Girls 5) The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition 6) The Go! Team - Titanic Vandalism 7) Interpol - Evil 8) Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way 9) Girl Talk - In Step 10) Hercules and Love Affair - Blind 11) Justice - Dvno 12) The Lonely Island - Jizz In My Pants 13) M.I.A. - Bamboo Banga 14) Of Montreal - An Elaurdian Instance 15) Patrick Wolf - Accident & Emergency 16) Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody 17) Radiohead - 15 Step 18) The Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling 19) TV on the Radio - Dancing Choose Nihonniboku fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Apr 14, 2009 |

Could I please get a recommendation for some upbeat Jazz or brass style bands? They don't necessarily have to be contemporary, I'm just looking for some good starting points. Preferably nothing too obscure so I can check them out on youtube or spotify before making any purchases! I ask because I've been listening to a little Tokyo Brass Style and want to listen to more like it except without the anime ties  VVV Awesome, thanks. Definitely liking them too!

I discovered Felix Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto yesterday. I am in love with the third movement (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPgqfHYeI0Q), and I'm looking for pieces by Mendelssohn or other classical artists that sound similar. I love the energy, the sense of bitter-sweetness, the emotional piquancy of the concerto...I've never felt so strongly about classical music before.

I just found a couple of songs by Tim Hardin and Tim Buckley on a compilation ("Reason to Believe" and "Once I Was," respectively), and I'm quite impressed. Buckley has a fantastic voice, especially. Can anyone recommend some songs or entire albums/compilations to check out? From what I've read, Hardin was pretty consistent, but Buckley went over about 50 different directions, and for him in particular, I don't know what's what.

Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, but I'm really craving something with the same energy as The Blood Brothers. They just get me so PUMPED UP! I already love Horse the Band and Enter Shikari. Light This City has a different sound, but they also get me totally psyched to do programming.

I'd love some recommendations for some nice, uplifting songs involving clean, bass-heavy guitar. Think along the lines of: A song from 28 Days Later Agaetis Byrjun I know it's a pretty obscure recommendation, but I really love that specific sound on the guitar. If you want to throw in anything else particularly uplifting that would be cool too. Would prefer it instrumental only unless it's something like Sigur Ros where the singing blends in and doesn't steal the spotlight.

Hello again recommendation thread. I was listening to Funkadelic's Maggot Brain last night and realised I have nothing else like it in my collection. What would you guys and girls recommend? Hehe my first edit spelt it as Fuckadelic. Ewar Woowar fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Apr 18, 2009 |

Ewar Woowar posted:Hello again recommendation thread. The album right before it, Free Your Mind and Your rear end Will Follow, is probably the most similar. As far as stuff by other artists, Stand! by Sly and the Family Stone and Hendrix's Band of Gypsies have a similar funk/rock sound. As for harder to find stuff there's Eddie Hazel's (Funkadelic guitarist) solo album Game, Dames, and Guitar Thangs and Buddy Miles' (Band of Gypsies drummer) Them Changes.

Can anyone recommend albums that sound like Aztec Camera's High Land, Hard Rain, or perhaps even world music precedents for it? I'm open to stuff like Weekend's La Variete with hints of that Spanish style guitar, but another indie band with that kind of sound/influences would be great to hear. (Please no straightforward twee--I want to hear the kind of guitar playing/complex rhythms this album features.)

Please see: Sir Richard Bishop (from Sun City Girls) I highly recommend his album "Fingering the Devil" note: this is not "indie music," this is very complex Spanish-influenced acoustic guitar work. hellfaucet fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Apr 20, 2009 |

quote:Also I'd be interested in some ambient music. But all the stuff I find has more going on than I'd like, is there ambient stuff out there that is really really ambient? Maybe even if it was like nature sounds (river running) + a little bit of something else? That sounds ideal if it exists What you will want is the Hearts of Space radio program. Think of it like a weekly mix cd released by the granddaddy of all ambient labels, except it's just one guy picking a bunch of great stuff. He'll play Steve Roach, Kevin Braheny, Michael Stearns, Brian Eno, Robert Rich (who started out playing 8 hour long sleep concerts), and other masters of classic ambient. Some of the shows are straight-up electronic ambient and some stray into choral music, classical organs, native american flutes, and so on. It's not all strictly ambient but much of it is, and no matter which week you're listening it's not going to be distracting music. I've only recently gotten into it, but I'd recommend #34 - Mission Apollo and #808 - Atlas Dei to start. If you sign up on the website you'll get access to a free streamed episode from the archives and you can also listen to the week's new episode from late saturday to late sunday. A monthly fee will get you access to the whole archive spanning a few decades. swampland posted:Hi, seeking sprawling, disturbing, disjointed albums.

Would prefer it instrumental only unless it's something like Sigur Ros where the singing blends in and doesn't steal the spotlight. Mogwai does quite a bit of this. I'd check out Young Team, their premier album and arguably the most influential post-rock album of all time. If you like it and it's not off-base from what you're looking for, report back and I will give you more suggestions.
