Try these if you haven't already: Symphony X - Paradise Lost & The Odyssey Riverside - Second Life Syndrome & Anno High Definition Pain of Salvation - Perfect Element & Remedy Lane Into Eternity - Buried In Oblivion And of course, any Opeth really.

Quantumfate posted:So, I just realized that I listen to too much Portuguese punk. Bands like Reação adversa, Noção de Nada, Kaos 64, Tropa Suicida, Inkisição, Dias de um futuro de esquicido, Eu Serei a Hiena (not technically punk I guess?), etc. Anyways I'd like to get more spanish punk though, since I'll be going abroad next summer and wanting to immerse myself in the language, having plenty of music I like in the appropriate language would also be pretty cool and a big help. So I'm looking for bands like some of those portuguese/brasilian ones, or like some of the spanish bands I already listen to, So for like, similar styles: Never really did get a response to this. Would be helpful

Some happy uplifting mostly instrumentals stuff like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXujsJ-AxlQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvbgID-v9c8 I mainly listen to japanese music but some western bands I like are Sigur Ros, the XX, Beirut, and Phoenix if that helps at all. I need some silly and catchy instrumental pop to get through this winter.

A friend asked me about a recommendation and I've been thinking about it for a bit but I'm not sure where to go here. He asked me where he could branch out from by giving me Orbital - Halycon + On + On. I'm not entirely certain where to go - The Orb, early Aphex Twin, Seefeel, System 7, Global Communication, Biosphere? I guess basically ambient techno, but I can't really find the middle ground between really ambient techno and the sort-of ambient techno with a hard 4/4 and rather catch.

I have no idea what genre this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llxpUdS-DLQ) would exactly be classified as, but it's a song I quite like. So basically, anything that sounds similar would be a nice place to start for expanding my musical taste. Yes I'm very nerdy.

They're both chill out electronic music. I don't pretend to know a lot about the genres of electronic music, but I love the track Halcyon + on + on and I love the songs on Far Away Trains Passing By for the same reason. They're long, they build slowly, and by the end the parts just culminate into something that I can only describe as beautiful. Here's two of my favorite tracks from it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k_P-Fzt-jc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hkAJ3_3vzM

Kind of a weird request but does anyone know any tracks that have the same kind of FM synth bass as this, this and this? I am inexplicably crazy about this sound, maybe it's subconscious nostalgia for the Sega Genesis days or something. Would be nice to get stuff in this same kind of electronic dance music vein but I guess I'm open to whatever really.

I'm going to review some of Stevie Wonder to get some classic pop under my belt. Problem is, he's got like 23 albums. Wikipedia has the list with chart positions, but I want actual listener recommendations and not corporate label/radio opinion: which 5 or so albums are most worth my time?

Immediately comes to mind is Metro Area (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpspmD5-GTM), hell, anything of the Environ label. Kelley Polar and Morgan Geist have stuff like this a lot. It's all nu-disco though.

KevinHeaven posted:Why do I feel like I'm the only person who likes the Bad Brains reggae songs... I don't mind them, but you're right in that they have a very specific sound. I think they're mostly similar to British '80s reggae and some American stuff, Jamaican stuff from the period sounds quite different. Check out the comp "Don't Call Us Immigrants", Misty In Roots' "Live at Counter Eurovision" and a few samplers from the NYC based Wackie's label.

FOr me, certain Black Uhuru (the mid '80's stuff) *feels* the same, but I have trouble explaining why there is only certain Black Uhuru I like so this may not help. Also I make weird connections between 'unrelated to other people' music apparently.

Really, really need more funk. I really like anything P-funk, Unlimited Touch, and O'bryan, I know all three of those are pretty different. A lot of synth would be preferred.

gay til death posted:Really, really need more funk. I really like anything P-funk, Unlimited Touch, and O'bryan, I know all three of those are pretty different. A lot of synth would be preferred. As far as early 80s music like Unlimited Touch, you're probably looking more for the vague non-genre of "post-disco" more than "funk." Check out the blog Beat Electric if you want crate-dug type stuff (and it'll definitely fulfill your "lot of synth" criteria). You might also be interested in basically everything Roy Ayers breathed on in that decade (might be a bit too disco though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XgCU4bRzdQ Unrelated, and I swear this song has nothing to do with that one despite having the same title (this is an earlier 70s group I like a lot, no synths here sorry): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqlq0za7M48 god drat that song just has the sickest break ever aaaaaaaaa Also check out any compilations Salsoul released that have "funk" in the name, there's a near-certain chance they're incredible edit: just before anyone jumps on my back for not listing off the classic 70s stuff like james brown betty davis the meters sly stone, there you go, but I wanted to show you some synth stuff that is admittedly way more obscure than any of the ones I just listed. edit edit: oh, you really need Herbie Hancock but you probably have that already. kingcobweb fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Dec 6, 2010 |
