So I have been listening a lot to a local modern folk group and would love to hear more music similar to their work. I am not exactly the most familiar with the genre, so suggestions would be welcome. The Strumbella's "the bird that fallows me" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCMUv-jULzE

I've gotten into a post-hardcore / prog rock kick recently and I'm looking for bands that are along the lines of Coheed and Cambria, Chiodos/D.R.U.G.S., Chiodos' album Illuminaudio (Yesterday's Rising singer), The Fall of Troy, and A Skylit Drive but not necessarily in the same genre. I'm honestly more interested in the vocals than anything else. I think the only time I ever care about the rest is if it's an instrumental track, which is kind of a shame but I can't help it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGN89b4CP-E probably a good representation if I had to pick one song Kind of broad, and I've been looking over Wikipedia's list of post-hardcore bands, and over some of the labels for the mentioned bands, but I think it would be good to see specific recommendations.

Yoshifan823 posted:I don't know exactly how to describe this, but I want stuff like Midnight City, Dance Yrself Clean or Bowie's Heroes, that sound like they should be played when you're driving at 2AM and it's perfectly dark and starry and maybe there's a little neon in the distance and you're completely at peace with the world. Not sparse, but really full sounding and almost droning, with layers. (edit: like, music that almost brings you to tears because it's emotional and awesome and...) This is a few pages back, but I actually have this exact playlist, and I recommend Supergrass - Road to Rouen and Doves - The Last Broadcast as two albums that sort of exemplify that sound to me.

I'm fairly into chiptunes but they can get a bit bland when it's nothing but bleeps and bloops. I like it when artists incorporate more than just gameboy noises into songs-- namely vocals and other instruments. I'm really digging bands like The Depreciation Guild, The J. Arthur Keenes Band, and I Fight Dragons. Is there any other bands like this I should know about?

Not sure if it's quite what you're after but a couple of chiptuney bands I really like are You Love Her Coz She's Dead and YMCK. The former are sort of Crystal Castles-y and YMCK are cutesy jpop girls who drank too much fizzy pop singing over gameboys. I like them, they're not everybody's thing though

While we're talking about chiptunes, I've always loved video game music but i pretty much intensely dislike chiptunes. Most of the time it just seems that the artist uses the chiptunes as a lovely gimmick for mediocre music. Like they sat down and thought they were going to make something that is chiptunes and they shoehorn themselves into the genre instead of making something original that doesn't sound like ill fitting noises awkwardly slapped on top of overused chiptune sounds. The only chiptunes i've really liked is some stuff by big giant circles and it's still really hit or miss. I love the first half of Flicker but the second half it turns into an anticlimactic and badly done drum thing. You Can Have Mine is pretty good though. They don't make me think that it's a cheap cargo-culting of NES music like most chiptunes does. Pretty much, is there any chiptunes that isn't a gimmick?

Does anyone have suggestions for dense/layered ambient? The kind of stuff where there's just a million layers if you care to look for it, but still retains the beatless, background-if-you-want, glacial qualities of ambient? I unironically love I am sitting in a room, and Brian Eno's ambient works, and the Aphex Twin ambient albums (although I favor the 2nd to the 1st, putting me in the minority). So I'd like something in that wheelhouse, but just a little busier, while still being firmly ambient (ie - not like, The Orb's first album or Person Pitch or something)

I'm trying to throw together a playlist of alternative rap. Instead of giving you a long list of what I'm trying to avoid, let me show you the songs that have made it to the list so far so you get an idea. Akira the Don - Hypocrite Mister B - Hermitage Shanks Reggie Watts - gently caress poo poo Stack Professor Elemental - Fighting Trousers Scroobius Pip - Letter from God to Man Flobots - Handlebars There seems to be a constant amongst my choices so far but wading through the torrent of profanity and poo poo to find the gems is getting tough. Anyone point out some diamonds in the rough?

Sleep - Dopesmoker Earth - Earth 2 Sleep isn't as "droney" (i.e. it's slightly more traditional metal) as Earth or Boris, but it's drat heavy, and you get lost in the riffs within a minute or two. If you like Dopesmoker, try out Electric Wizard's Dopethrone, though it's even more on the traditional side than Dopesmoker. And my personal favorite from Boris is Feedbacker, so try that if you haven't. And if you like Boris, it's only a small step to Sunn O))).

I apologise as I've just looked at the type of music I've written below and realised that although in my head they all occupy the same kindof area to most other people it's probably going to look random and unhelpful. I am looking for some dramatic, classical type music in the vein of soundtracks to films and games. My long term favourites have included; Nobuo Uematsu's work (One Winger Angel, Jenova, Liberi Fatali, Dancing Mad) Hans Zimmer (Dream is Collapsing, Mombasa, Mollosus) Chemical Brothers (Come with US album, Hanna OST - Container Park) Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica - Prelude to War, Kara Remembers) Shunsuke Kida (Demon's Souls) Philip Glass (Pruit Igeo, Metamorphosis) Trent Reznor (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) Rob D (Clubbed to Death, Furious Angels) X-Ray Dog, Audiomachine, various 'trailer music' companies. Craig Armstrong (Ball) John Murphy (28 days later theme) Clint Mansell (Moon OST) Celldweller (Under my feet, even though the opening line is so whiney) And more traditional classics such as In the Halls of the Mountain King, O Fortuna. I like music that is evocative. Music that helps fire off your imagination; fighting between good guys and bad guys, building tension, pulls forward emotions in you that you wouldn't feel if you were just sat there picking your nose. I always have music on when I'm writing and developing characters, scenes, settings. I've been trying to find new stuff for a while but I seem to just end up going in circles in the collection I already have. I would be very grateful for any suggestions anyone can offer.

Anybody want to recommend something similar Have A Nice Life or A Silver Mt. Zion? I like that dark post-rock'ish vibe they both have with vocals that are actually understandable and melodic. Music similar to Kid A / Amnesiac-era Radiohead would be cool as well. Thanks.

This kind of approach to doom metal is really intriguing andn I was wondering if anyone knows of anything in this kind of vein. If you don't know them already, Kylesa would be a good bet. Especially their last two albums, Static Tensions and Spiral Shadows. Kylesa has female singing/shouting as well (along with alternating male singing/shouting) and also features those more psychedelic elements I heard in the songs you linked. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq9CglF086o (nice Sabbath shout out in the chorus, too) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD0Ox2KqSHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WLN2plIOdc (no female vocals, but man, that guitar line) If you are also more interested in more traditional doom metal (since you mentioned the genre), the new album by Serpentine Path is drat heavy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0ZOa5i6t2U Also, maybe try Omega Massif, they play instrumental doom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwWYfL6Pw6s

Just wanna thank all the lovely people making suggestions in here, this thread has directed me towards a bunch of great stuff! I'm looking to get into some piano stuff, now I'm doing the rounds going through Bach and Chopin and so on, but actually the reason I got interested in it in the first place was this: Deaf Center's White Lake. There's something really interesting about that song, and I was wondering if anybody could 'shortcut' me towards some stuff that is similar to this? Go hog wild on the suggestions even if it's not completely similar and thanks in advance! Sex Robot posted:Sarcastic rap songs May I suggest the Rhymenoceros? Edit: Might not be clear but if you actually want to hear their other stuff you need to look for Flight of the Conchords since that name is just a gimmick through one episode for that song. Another edit: Also maybe Epic Rap Battles of History Free Weedlord fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Nov 22, 2012 |

Obviously the first few Samhain and Danzig records, but for things that don't involve Glenn Danzig: the first TSOL record is great, the first White Zombie record is lyrically similar (though musically it's closer to The Birthday Party or Pussy Galore than Misfits), basically all the AFI records through The Art of Drowning, The Cramps for a Garage rock take on the same aesthetic, The Nerve Agents, Ink & Dagger...
