I want ambient/triphopish music that sounds post-apocalyptic, dark and depressing. Moody soundscapes and depressing melodies that sound like you're the sole survivor after a nuclear war. Any recommendations?

Very bleak and ambient. Most of their albums would fit, but f#a#(infinity)sounds exactly up your alley.

Where can I find something like Sigur Ros? I especially like () and Áegetus Byrjun. I've listened to a bit of Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor before but couldn't really get into either with some random listening, so any album recommendations for those two?

The last couple weeks I haven't been able to get "Where do you go to my lovely" by Peter Sarstedt out of my head. I think I will only be able to if I listen to some more french accordion music. I don't care if the lyrics are in english or french. Any recommendations?

Zedlic posted: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. I like the cheesiness of this IAM track; here's a collab with Fonky Family, since you mentioned them. To be honest, these ones are mostly just throwing names out there in the hope that something sticks, but I think some of these songs have that "French flow" you mentioned, and (apart from L'Etincelle) they mostly have at least a couple of albums out so there should be a decent amount of material: Rohff; NTM;Booba, another, ft. Akon; Les Psy4 de la Rime;L'Etincelle. And here's Stress, he's a Francophone Swiss rapper.

I am in desperate need of some new workout music. I spend most of my time lifting, so I find that angry, fast, heavy music is the best motivator. Here are some of my favorite workout songs right now: Meshuggah - Bleed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc98u-eGzlc The Dillinger Escape Plan - 43% Burnt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv8b6RPbnAc Becoming The Archetype - Evil Unseen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1LQaXhWHgM Zao - A Pirate's Prayer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovv1Su5ENoE&feature=related I would also love it if somebody could recommend something as awesome and creative as this Becoming The Archetype song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc7TbLUPEzI - About 1:30 into the song, it goes from really heavy, to a piano instrumental, to Pink Floyd "The Great Gig In The Sky" style vocals, to a weird, jazzy electronic breakdown, and then back into a melt-your-face heavy song.

I remember posting this a few months ago, but I need more recommendations. The ones I got were some Prog Rock bands that I couldn't get into (Spock's Beard, Pain of Salvation, Ayreon, King Crimson, Rush etc.), while I'm looking for a little heavier and faster music. I mainly listen to long and fast songs with melodic vocals, but lots of instrumental sections and solos (If you couldn't guess, my ipod is still just mainly Dream Theater, with my favorite songs being off Images and Words/Awake/Scenes from a Memory). I don't really like purely instrumental bands, with the exception being Liquid Tension Experiment. Some other bands that I'm beginning to like but haven't really hit me that much are Redemption, Symphony X, Muse, and some Metallica. I recently got into Bigelf which is great, and X Japan which I adore(with their song Art of Life being pretty much exactly what I'm looking for in music, save for the lead singer being a little weak http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUhwNWzdIAc ). Am I just looking for too unique a sound, or just not looking hard enough?

I've been listening to a lot of Emmylou Harris lately and especially Boulder to Birmingham: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEvZF2-d0w0 which she wrote right after Gram Parsons died. I just can't get over the sheer, raw and completely stripped emotion in the song. Can anyone point me in the direction of something similar? I'm not looking for sad for sad's sake, just some plaintive singing by someone really feeling something. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks a lot.

This is sort of a weird one but think Lion King soundtrack + Civ 4 title screen and a little bit of Graceland. I guess songs that borrow from african music would be a better description but I'm not sure that's specific enough. Does anyone know of an actual band that does music like this because I think it's pretty sweet.

A few of the particulars I dig: minimal vocals/instrumental above average drum technique/percussion/production xylophones (!!!) atmospheric but with a somewhat defined song structure help me out !

Get Homogenic (more slow and orchestral, it has Hunter, and you'll probably also like Joga, Bachelorette and All Is Full of Love) and Post (more dancey, it has Hyperballad and some other good tracks include Army of Me, Isobel, Possibly Maybe). In general, her albums go from more poppy and dancey to more abstract and ambient in chronological order, she doesn't really have a 'bad album'. Morganus_Starr posted:I'm always grooving to all the Mercury Program albums, and the new one is pretty good also. Can anyone recommend me any similar music? Mercury Program reminds me a lot of Maserati, Do Make Say Think, Red Sparowes and Tortoise. I don't think any of them use xylophones but they do use a wide variety of less typical instruments, and Tortoise especially has a really good drummer. The guy who's looking for stuff vaguely along the lines of Mogwai /Sigur Ros / GY!BE should check them out as well. kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Dec 3, 2009 |

You should check out Pele (their album "The Nudes" especially) or Ghosts and Vodka... Seconding the Rec for Tortoise... You also might like Sharks Keep Moving a lot... There are lyrics, but very minimalistic and the instrumentals are great --- For a request... Lately I've been in the mood for some really chill downtempo lounge music.. Kinda like world music with unique instruments or trip hop loungy groove music... I have NO idea how to explain what I'm looking for...

I guess songs that borrow from african music would be a better description but I'm not sure that's specific enough. I don't know what the Civ 4 title screen sounds like, and I've never really listened to Graceland, but I do have a few reccomendations from Africa. I think Konono No 1. might do something for you. The music isn't as refined as maybe what you're asking about, but I think it's got a really neat quality to it. They use homemade instruments and electronics, but they don't sound at all synthy or techno. It's like tribal music where you can't tell if a sound is a drum or a bloop. It's pretty rad. If you're feeling adventurous, you might try some more rock and roll/funk type stuff. Because singles were more common than albums in many of thes places, compilations like Lagos Jump, Nigeria Rock Special, Love's a Real Thing, and a bunch of others I can't remember, are probably the best place to start with this type of music. The only individual artists I have of this style are Fela Kuti and Tony Allen, who are both loving fantastic. Very fast-paced, big percussion sections, driving horns, political lyrics. Many people attribute Vampire Weekend's guitar sound to King Sunny Ade, but I don't know much of his stuff. There are also other American indie rock bands that do the African thing better than Vampire Weekend, namely NOMO and Antibalas. If you want something really different, try Tinariwen. They're desert nomads who grew up listening to Hendrix, and it sounds exactly like that. It's really engrossing music. Obviously I'm still just getting into music from other parts of the world so if anybody has any more suggestions, feel free to chime in.

They remind me of Bitter:Sweet, who are also loungey and sexy, but I wouldn't consider either "world music." Try the Koop song "Koop Island Blues" for a good example of their style, complete with breathy, longing trip-hoppy vocals and some exotic instruments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCFU5l6-j2k

I've been in a complete musical dead end for like 7 loving years. I just don't have any connection to anything that seems to be remotely popular or easy to find these days, and I'm sick to death of all the old poo poo. The last group that had more than a song or two I really enjoyed was The Black Keys. Oh, and The White Stripes. The Phantom Band released Checkmate Savage a while back and they had two songs I enjoyed. The Howling and The Island. I like most all of Johnny Cash's poo poo he recorded from 1995 and up, not just Hurt. I found a song by the Drive By Truckers "Goddamn Lonely Love" but when I looked up the rest of their stuff I was left cold. A lot of the opinions they expressed ( or at least seemed to)just really clashed with my views. Especially "Puttin People on the Moon." Jesus, I wanted to vomit listening to that. Now I'll just list random poo poo I've enjoyed. Everclears first Album, a smattering of individual songs past that. The Mother Hips, most of Kiss the Crystal Flake. Except "Time Sick Son of a Grizzly Bear". I have Van Morrisons entire discography but usually only put on Moondance. The track "New Moon Rising" of the new Wolfmother cd. Anyway, for the love of God some people help me not be bored and apathetic.
