I'm looking for some Middle Eastern music, similar to Elder's post but a bit more encompassing. I'm pretty much in the dark, but I like what I've heard from Ananda Shankar. I'm also a fan of The Budos Band, which isn't exactly Middle Eastern but something similar that could widen the recommendations.

After skimming the thread, I may check out Yeasayer and Secret Chiefs 3 but that's not exactly what I'm searching for...

Thanks!

"Can we fix it?"
"No, it's fucked."
Okay, so I love these slow indie CD's that have been coming out (I'm currently digging Hospice by The Antlers) but I've yet to find any upbeat pop/rock albums that have really caught me this year other than Wolfgang Amadeus by Phoenix.

Some favorites of mine:
Joel Plaskett Emergency
The Hush Sound
Motion City Soundtrack
Mae
Owl City
Say Anything (I'm going to chect out the newest album soon, I've got it but yet to give it a listen)
Vampire Weekend
The Rocket Summer

I like a -lot- of music and these are just bands that I could list off the top of my head that pump out really upbeat dance music. If anyone can think of any albums that came out this year that are as upbeat and catchy as the stuff I've listed above, please let me know!

Honestly, just take the plunge and grab the first bargain bin compilation CD you can find. 60's and 70's soul has always been a singles-based genre, and the music appears to be ridiculously easy to license so you can find most of the Grade-A artists like The Supremes and James Brown on even the lowliest supermarket collection. After that just pick out your favorites from each one, and away you go.

You'd probably like Dead Can Dance. It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but there's plenty of the type of stuff you're describing in their sound.

Also, strongly seconding what Surfer Rosa Parks said. Grab a low-priced multi-artist hits collection, and from there you can follow your favorite artists to an equally low-priced best-of collection. For example, Bill Withers "Lean on Me -- Best of (Remastered)" provides a choice sampling of his work, and it's $7.98 new on Amazon.

All we have to lose is our chains
I lived in southern Spain for a few months and one night I went out to this amazing club. They had live bands playing on stage but the real crux of the experience for me was the drum band that would descend into the crowd whenever they were swapping stuff on stage.

Theres just something intensely... tribal about jumping the gently caress around to nothing but a whole load of amazing drums and Im looking to recreate the experience as best I can but I dont know where to start. Ive tried various search terms with google and youtube but nothing yet.

Someone must know what Im talking about. Basically I just want some drumwork thats going to appeal to my inner warrior or whatever. Help!

I'm looking for some really good guitar albums because I've recently got into King Crimson's Lark's Tongue in Aspic and Red. I love the guitar on both of those albums, but mostly in the split title track of Lark and the first song of Red. I'm not real interested in the cliche guitar-rock of Led Zeppelin and company, as I am in the lesser-known and less common stuff like Television's Marquee Moon. Any help would be appreciated.

Pendulum is the best DNB I know of. Hold Your Color is closer to Drum N' Bass, while having a bunch of different kinds of songs, while In Silico is a bit more rock and uniform in sound, both are fantastic albums, though.

It's a big genre, but I'd be happy to recommend you a few artists from my sphere of interest. I'm most into the atmospheric side of jungle / drum & bass, as exemplified by LTJ Bukem, his Good Looking label and its offshoots.

First stop is Logical Progression, a mix CD by Bukem featuring many of his early tunes as well as material from others on Good Looking. Very essential. After that I would recommend looking into these albums, in no specific order:

Big Bud - Infinity + Infinity
Adam F - Colours
Goldie - Timeless
LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards
Omni Trio - Even Angels Cast Shadows

There are an absolute ton of compilations and mix CDs on Good Looking, but I don't want to overwhelm you on just one sub-genre when you're just getting into D&B.

I'm looking for three particular styles of music which I know absolutely nothing about -

The first one I would describe as stripped down, dark Spanish guitar with vocals. I was waiting for a train and there was an older man playing guitar and singing, and it was awesome. I recorded a clip on my phone (which I can post here but the quality is terrible) and asked a friend of mine if she knew the song. She thought it was Leonardo Favio, but when I looked him up I found that his stuff was orchestrated with strings and drums and multiple vocalists, and so even though the song might be the same it just didn't have the same mood.


The second is Iranian/Persian music, but I'm not really looking for the traditional stuff or the dance/Bollywood style stuff. I overheard some bits and pieces of the Rumi Symphony Project at work last night and I really liked, but there's not too much information on the internet. That site has a few songs but I don't know where they're from because there doesn't seem to be an album of this stuff anywhere. Also those songs aren't quite the same as the ones I heard last night. The music is described as "a blend of Middle Eastern musical structures and the sounds and textures of Western orchestration" which is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Basically traditional Iranian instruments (especially the awesome percussion stuff) in a modern western setting.


The third style might be linked to the Iranian stuff, but I'm looking for some music that you generally hear in movies when someone is lost and dying the the desert. It's very simple music consisting of an endless drone and a single female vocalist singing in a very sorrowful manner.

Qawwali was the first thing I thought of. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is a good guy to check out in that genre. It's not very close and hits more of the trad angle you were trying to avoid, but at least it's a place to start. Please post if you find more especially regarding the Rumi Symphony Project. I am LOVING that stuff.

You might enjoy some stuff from the "Judgment Night" soundtrack, which was all collaborations between rock and rap acts. Here are a couple sample tracks from that:

Faith No More/Boo-Ya Tribe "Another Body Murdered"

Helmet/House of Pain "Just Another Victim" (the rap part doesn't start until 2:15)

sadly the babyshambles (doherty) and dirty pretty things (barat) are both very underwhelming, but you might like some of their stuff. in fact, I actually enjoyed a few songs on Albion, and Shotter's Nation is more consistent on the whole.

I guess the obvious answers would be Fripp & Eno or Sonic Youth, but what you may be looking for is jazz-influenced guitar work in general. Sonny Sharrock's Ask the Ages is an all around great guitar album if you're looking for something different.

If you want something that's both aggressive and melodic, try noise pop.

Since you mentioned NIN, A Place to Bury Strangers used to open for them and they also have a new album out. There's also one of their biggest influences, The Jesus and Mary Chain, whose first album Psychocandy is generally regarded as their best. There's also the closely related, sometimes overlapping genre of shoegaze. My Bloody Valentine's Loveless is more or less the definitive shoegaze album, so it's the best place to start if you haven't heard it already.

HEALTH (We Are Water is pure sex) and Holy gently caress should fit the bill.

I'd also suggest modwheelmood and blindoldfreak. They are both projects of Alessandro Cortini (former keyboardist for Nine Inch Nails), modwheelmood is more of a traditional band setup and blindoldfreak is just him and his Buchla. They are all pretty cheap on Amazon MP3 (Pearls To Pigs is only $8.99 for 37 songs and blindoldfreak is $6)

You'll want to check out the downtempo or chillout genre for sure, it's atmospheric and generally instrumental music that has more of a beat and a melody than ambient so it's interesting without being distracting, and VERY well appreciated with headphones. Boards of Canada, Air, Future Sound of London, Ulrich Schnauss, Nosaj Thing and William Orbit are a pretty good spread of different styles.

You might want to try out a pair of Swedish bands, Anglagard and Anekdoten. Both have been compared to the Larks' Tongues/Starless/Red period of King Crimson, and it won't take you long to see why.

You'll also want to give a listen to a Japanese band called Happy Family.

Like Way Past Cool said, sounds like Sonic Youth would be right up your alley as they use lots of unconventional and unique guitar techniques. The most common starting point for them is Daydream Nation or Goo, which are both classic albums.
Actually, you'd probobly get a kick out of the Shoegaze genre in general, though honestly I don't have a wide enough knowledge of it to be giving out reccomendations.

I need a great deal of guidance into he jungle of hip-hop. I know that I like it, but I don't know where to start with whole albums. The only artists I can say for certain that I enjoy are A Tribe Called Quest (whom I hope are not spat upon by the "real" rap community) and Wu-Tang Clan, and I only have a passing knowledge of the latter (I heard about 20 minutes of 36 Chambers and loved it, so maybe I should get that?)

Anyway, maybe one of you cats could help me out. I really am looking more for albums and artists (sub-genres if I'm feeling bold) rather than singles, but if there's a genuinely killer song that I need to know about, by all means inform me.

edit: also I like Kid Cudi a little. :ohdear:

Ask me about being too much of a sperging idiot to understand what resisting arrest means.
For some reason I got to listening to French rap some time ago (I think it started with a random Last.fm play) and I've loved almost every single song I've heard. I'm not a huge fan of rap/hip-hop (or French) but there's something about the way the words roll of the tongue that really grabs me. Plus, I don't understand a word of it so I can pretend every lyric is intensely deep and meaningful.

What I've listened to and liked so far: Saļan Supa Crew, Keny Arkana, Fonky Family, but really I can just put on a multi-tag radio of "French" and "Hip hop" and like everything I hear. I'm just looking to get to know some artists better instead of just blindly listening.

MC Solaar is usually the go-to intro French MC that I see dropped. 90's rap that's a little beat dated, but still works well. Prose Combat & MC Solaar are the two albums I'd suggest, but the title track from Paradisiaque almost makes the album worth it.

You would do well to check out any other band on Load records, since all of them are noisy and heavy. I would personally recommend Sightings and Brainbombs which both play a slower kind of noise rock. You can download some free mp3s from Loads own homepage and see what you think about them.
