Any suggestions on good electro/hip hop like spank rock rock or the cool kids? Please no ironic white girl MCs though.

If you started with MPP, it's best to work backwards from there. Start either with the Water Curses EP or Strawberry Jam, and then go back to their freak folk days.

I'm looking for some upbeat, early jazz like Cab Calloway and Django Reinhardt. Completely different styles, but I want that same kind of bounce that their stuff has. Nothing after 1940, so no cool/smooth sax-and-pad poo poo that you hear at 11 PM on the radio with a deep-voiced DJ, please.

Nothing after 1940, so no cool/smooth sax-and-pad poo poo that you hear at 11 PM on the radio with a deep-voiced DJ, please. well for big names you've got Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald... but honestly i'd suggest tracking down a Swing/Big Band or Jazz Standards multi-cd compilation. the trouble with exploring that period of time through different artists is that there were a lot of different people all collaborating with each other covering a lot of the same old songs, and the regional scenes all had their own interesting flavors and it's easier to absorb as a whole, wide genre than getting albums of hits by one bandleader or singer in particular. Also most artists did a mix of slower, ballady type crooner songs with the real upbeat dancey stuff. Have you seen the Jazz documentary by Ken Burns? He goes into a lot of the notable artists of that era. Also read up on Tin Pan Alley. PS: writing off all modern jazz just because of the stuff you hear on the radio, is as ignorant and closed minded as those old dudes who say that all rock music post 1978 or whatever sucks, just saying. also the swing era was still going strong into the 40s... kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 21:36 on May 17, 2009 |

Depending on where you live you might be able to find stations that play really interesting jazz at 11 p.m. (or earlier for that matter). See if you have college, pirate, or independent radio stations that aren't NPR. I live in CT and we have this station - https://www.wpkn.org - which is entirely DJ'd by crazy locals with amazing record collections.

I don't do anything more than dabble in jazz, but I can try: Kind of Blue is the record most often cited, but it's a downtempo mood piece. You might try some of the stuff he did with Charlie Parker if bop's gonna be closer to the style you already dig, and Birth of the Cool for something of a transition. Then check out Bitches Brew if you're interested in a more abstract jazz. But for the period you mentioned, I have some three-disc Duke Ellington comp, the name of which escapes me, that is pretty fantastic.

The one everyone pretty clearly needs is "The Blanton-Webster Band" (or whatever trackwise equivalent you might be able to find) but don't overlook his actual LPs either, especially the 61-67 greats...

CinnamonToastFunk posted:Listening to this now, it's pretty loving fantastic. I'm sorry for being an rear end in a top hat about something I knew nothing about. I personally like "Miles in the Sky" and "Get Up with It". "Sketches of Spain" is loving amazing too. and "Dark Magus".. even though Miles Davis states he hates his performance on it but Mtume is so loving crunk on the drums that I still listen to it a lot. Oh and... . . . "Sorcerer" .. These got me into Miles Davis though I am still more keen on Sun Ra. Edit: Did not see the not after 1940 statement! oh well. all good recommendations anyway. But as for a recommendation, I have been listening to a lot from this group called Ducktails. Basically bubbly psychedelic surf guitar, clever use of loops, and swirly drone electronics that faintly resembles what Animal Collective/Ariel Pink have been putting out with clearly a similar range of lo-fi psyche inspirations. The guitar work is probably the stand out of their self titled album which was just released. I think it's their first release out side of cassettes/cd-r ' s but im not sure. Not gold the full way through but overall its a pretty drat great album that makes for great rainy day at the beach music. Darth Brookz fucked around with this message at 00:41 on May 18, 2009 |

Don't think this warrants a thread and this is the most appropriate place to ask: are there any websites that give an updated list of good club/dance music? Whenever I go to a bar I always hear songs that don't get popular for another few weeks, would like to stay ahead of the curve. Just seems like every google result is someone on a board requesting songs, and the posts are from months ago etc. dongsweep fucked around with this message at 03:13 on May 18, 2009 |

You might want to start listening to Trance Around The World with Above & Beyond, or Marcus Schossow's Tone Diary for house music (Thursday @ 1? PM PST on afterhours.fm). Same goes for the Global DJ Broadcast with Markus Schulz and to a lesser extent Armin's weekly ASOT (though the pure crap to quality ratio is terrible on that program), which are played earlier on Thursday. Someone recommend some music with a lot of sad or melancholy ambience. This request was inspired by the Gary Jules cover of "Mad World". I want more of that feeling.

any advice on choral composers or vocal groups that explore atonality and harmonic texture? i guess what I'm imagining in my head is not so much the sort of 'non-singing' / making mouth noises or rhythmic kind of vocal experimentation but real tone based, sort of like that kind of muslim unison prayer chanting or droning like gregorian kind of stuff but with a modernist or atonal approach, like experimenting with the way that slightly off-tune harmonies make that sort of 'bumpy' frequency and stuff.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of "electronic" music (by which I mean a catch-all encompassing all kinds of music from whatever Pendulum or Daft Punk is, to psy-trance, etc.) An uncommon occurrence among some of these artists, but one that I really, really like, is the mixing of classical/acoustic guitar into the song. This is hard to explain but here's an example of the stuff I like: Infected Mushroom - Becoming Insane – This is the single version, the album version has a lot more of that cool guitar. I really dig the way the singing and guitar gets more intense, finally giving way to the intense beat of the song. Pendulum - 9000 Miles – Love the way the song blends into the guitar and back out again, starting around 1:40. Infected Mushroom - Shakawkaw – About 1:40. I love how it jumps from modern electro synths and poo poo to the same melody on an acoustic/classical guitar. Does anybody have any song and artist recommendations that are similar to the above songs in this respect? I realize it's quite a specific request but I love the mixing of the old and the new.

OK, other recs: - Nono was the best vocal writer of that generation; this one is a good starting point, and he had so many vocal pieces that you could just go to allmusic and look up his work index and track down all those pieces, especially the political 60s/70s stuff. - Maybe Berio's "folk songs" and the sequenza III even though these are solo pieces, and the vocal+tape pieces he and Bruno Maderna did - Kurtag's choral works - Those famous Ligeti pieces like Lux aeterna and Aventures/Nouvelle aventures, and the later stuff, the Holderlin fantasies and the Nonsense madrigals - for the Xenakis the Woods/London Choir set has almost all of his non-solo vocal works - Going back slightly earlier there's a Luigi Dallapiccola set with the Ensemble InterContemporain set (here) That's all sort of standard repertoire from the post-wwii modernists... I can't really think of anything from the generation after that I like as much as the above, except maybe Brian Ferneyhough's opera 'Shadowtime' and his choral pieces (here).

I have a question similar to CinnamonToastFunk. I already know a few of the masters, but I'm looking for more "weird" jazz and don't really know where to start. I've just been listening to a lot of Sun Ra and a lot of the more instrumental Frank Zappa stuff, and not that there's really anyone that sounds like them but any other jazz with some sort of strange edge I'd love to listen to. EDIT: Also realized I don't know poo poo about jazz fusion outside of Weather Report and Zappa's Hot Rats album, so anything there would be cool too.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk (he goes by Roland Kirk in his early days) is my favorite jazz artist and quite the weird one. He played 3 saxes at once, was blind, and wasn't really taken seriously in his time due to his antics. But is music is spectacular. Check out The Inflated Tear and then maybe some of his later work like Natural Black Inventions and Volunteered Slavery.

Can anyone help me find another song similar to this one? I've gone through tags/similar bands but all of the poo poo doesn't sound the same. For example, I look at the different genre's listed for the song, and all of the songs under that genre sound different from this one to me. I'm mainly looking for a similar feel of the song, how it builds up using the different sounds. I like how there are different "layers" of beats. I know nothing about music, so this post sucks. What I DON'T want is a song that builds up, but is completely boring throughout the first couple minutes. I want a song that builds up to certain peaks, but still remains very rich throughout. Song is Dynamic Symmetry by BT (only looking for something similar to the first four minutes of the video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uNEQ3nsFbE Gulp of Mexico fucked around with this message at 08:50 on May 23, 2009 |
