I want to check out Coil. The only song I've heard is Teenage Lightning, which is pretty neat. Is that album (Ape of Naples) a good place to start?

trans fat posted:Where should I start with Outkast? My Outkast knowledge goes as far as Ms. Jackson, BOB and Hey Ya. For Outkast I'd recommend Aquemini as a start because that album is awesome, and then go for ATLiens. They're all incredible albums. You might want to give Speakerboxxx/The Love Below a shot. Their first album is great too but I don't know how it's aged because I've been listening to it for so long. Overall: Aquemini ATLiens Speakerboxxx/The Love Below Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik Stankonia Thanks Technetium and HAI for the Coil recommendations. I think I'll go for Love's Secret Domain first.

Emmitt Nervend posted:What about Fugazi? It's one of those bands I always hear talked about, and everyone I know of who is into them is REALLY into them. 13 Songs and Repeater would probably be your best bet and are the two that got me into Fugazi as well. Those two albums have most of the familiar songs and are both great albums. And once you've gotten a feel for their sound, give the soundtrack to Instrument a listen to hear how diverse they are able to sound.

I had checked out one track a while ago and it wasn't good. I can't remember the name of it unfortunately. I like really aggressive sounding stuff, both in electronic music and rock.

SubtleDagger posted:Infidel?/Castro!'s "Bioentropic Damage Fractal", Behold... the Arctopus, old The Dillinger Escape Plan (everything before Miss Machine), PsyOpus's "Ideas of Reference", Wolf Eyes, Orthrelm and Ocrilim are definitely all things you should check out. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm familiar with Behold... the Arctopus and enjoy them. I see Infidel?/Castro! is related to Dysrythmia, who I have also heard. I've heard a little of Dillinger Escape Plan but not enough to form an opinion. I'll give them a better listen as well. And I've only heard mention of Wolf Eyes. The others are new to me but I'll be checking them out for sure.

Brian Flanagan posted:I'm wondering if anyone can help me find more glam rock/glam influenced rock? I've got all the Bowie, T. Rex and Mott the Hoople albums, as well as some of newer stuff like Spacehog and The Eagles of Death Metal (maybe glam). I've liked some singles by groups like Mud and Alvin Stardust too. What else is out there that has that real glam sound to it? Give a listen to Roxy Music. Go for their self-titled album and see what you think.

Wyatt posted:The simplest thing to do would be to listen to their first two albums, Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral. If you like the heavier industrial stuff, you can then check out the EP Broken, which came out in between them. If you liked what you heard on The Downward Spiral, check out their third album, The Fragile. And if you like Broken, check out the remix album Fixed.

I can assure you that's not the case (I must admit that he said Bettencourt was the best starting point for getting a feel for the style in question, and he only mentioned Vai in response to what was a bit of a leading question on my part) but I see how you'd get that from my post.

I got into Calexico from a live recording from Stockholm in 2003, found at archive.org. You can stream it there to check it out. The audio quality is phenomenal and I prefer this to any of their studio albums. It's also got their great cover of the Minutemen song Corona, Alone Again Or (Love cover), and a cover of Link Wray's Falling Rain. My first thought of the song you're describing was Woven Birds, which is on that live recording. I don't know of any gongs though. It's just got a cool part midway where it gets kind of dreamy sounding. https://archive.org/details/calexico2003-04-25.flac16 me your dad fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Feb 10, 2014 |

screaden posted:That's all they've got, except for a few eps which I think is mostly remixes anyway And I imagine sure you're aware, but they were among many very popular artists with that same 'big beat' sound: Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Meat Beat Manifesto, The Crystal Method. So if you're looking for more of that sound in general, those would be the way.

alnilam posted:Thanks! Could you recommend what album to start with among all those artists? VoodooFly covered a few so I'll get what he didn't: Exit Planet Dust was the Chemical Brothers first big breakout album, and pretty good. They also released two really cool mixed albums that may be tougher to find: Live at the Social, Vol 1; and Brothers Gonna Work It Out. Live at the Social was a massively fun party album and I highly recommend seeking it out. For Meat Beat Manifesto, I can't recommend a particular album in full because I don't feel like any were particularly strong throughout. Check out the tracks Helter Skelter, Radio Babylon, and Asbestos Lead Asbestos. Edit: I can't vouch for how well this has stood the test of time, of whether you'll dig it, but check out Pop Will Eat Itself. They were tangentially related I guess, but their later material, particularly the linked album, as a more 'full' sound (but contains a lot of vocals which you may or may not like). I was a big fan of them around the same time I was listening to a lot of what you seem interested in. Also, I've mentioned it too many times in this thread as a suggestion, but check out DJ Shadow - Endtroducing. It's a little more on the instrumental hiphop vibe but still shares some commonality with the big beat stuff. me your dad fucked around with this message at 00:41 on May 1, 2014 |

My entry point was Nebraska and I'm not super crazy about his big rock sound, despite having been a youth when Born in the USA was the biggest hit in the country. I like his stripped down stuff much better. Nebraska and Ghosts of Tom Joad are incredible.
