Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore.

I'm a little slow on the uptake here, but anyway... The first thing that comes to mind would be Gong's Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy: Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg, and You.

Need some help! I wish to have a playlist full of music that would probably go great in a Tokyo Xtreme Racer video game.

Stuff like this in particular is what I'm looking for: https://soundcloud.com/hrsyo/hirosyo-remix-1

Everything else he makes is a bit too hyperactive compared to that track and it's frustrating. I need more laid back Japanese electronic music with nice vocals but I have no idea how to find it.

I'm looking for artists/groups similar to Cibo Matto.

Since they're categorized as trip-hop, Pandora recommended Thievery Corporation, Portishead, and Sneaker Pimps. I like most of what I've heard from them, but it tends to be slower and downbeat. I'd like to find music that's a little more like Cibo Matto's bouncy and energetic songs.

I think CHVRCHES, CSS, Ladytron and Ivy are all kinda similar. Maybe Crystal Castles but that's a bit harsher imo.

pretty much all of Eels' Electro-Shock Blues, but the title track in particular

I just remembered The Buggles' Video Killed the Radiostar song ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8r-tXRLazs ) as a long-distant memory of a song I listened to a lot back when I was like 3-4 years old, and now I can't stop listening to it :allears: Any recommendations for cheesy 70's and 80's songs with loads of strings? Already know the one-hit wonders from that time, but anything is welcome.

Hospice by The Antlers

It's a concept album about a hospice worker who falls in love with a terminally ill patient, incredibly sad. Probably my favourite album though.

Also out of this list the ones I recognise are very good

Microdisney's Everybody Is Fantastic, particularly Dreaming Drains. It completely stopped me in my tracks when I heard it. To think this is from the early 80s, it sounds like it would be way later.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANrRbuFdW3M

I would recommend this album to anyone who likes new wave, folk music/jangle, minimalism, and deep vocals with sarcastic, self-deprecating Irish humor. The album is best enjoyed when you are falling asleep drinking whisky.

Thought about this earlier and still the only thing that comes to my mind is (anything by) Anthony and the Johnsons (start with Hope There's Someone).

So is anyone actually going to post a "Best Albums of the Year" thread this year? It's not only the last week of the month, but pretty much the last day of the year. I found the threads posted in the previous years occasionally useful. I'd post one myself, but I haven't really listened to anything new this year and I don't have the PMs to ask a mod if I could make one in the first place.

And yeah, this isn't quite on-topic, but it's the closest thread I could think of where to ask this.

Jacques Dutronc and Stereolab, not that either are terribly obscure. there are a few decent Nuggets-like compilations of French Canadian psych/garage rock out there, too- i remember liking a fair amount of Psychegaelic: French Freakbeat and Freak Out Total Vol. 3: Québec-France-Belgique 1968-1973 Psyche Jello. there's probably some good Afrobeat stuff out there with French vocals, too, but that's out of my wheelhouse.

There are two really great compilations called So Young But So Cold : Underground French Music 1977-1983 and Bippp: French Synth Wave 1979-85.They're totally worth tracking down.

There's also a record by Guy Skornik that I really like, its sort of a weird synth heavy prog maybe? The record is called Ils Viennent Du Futur!.

Can not recommend Sleater-Kinney enough (if you want proof, click the ? below my name).

Otherwise: Veruca Salt's first album, American Thighs, is one of the definitive early 90s albums.

Riotgrrl stuff: Bikini Kill, Babes in Toyland.

Hole - Live Through This is the best album Kurt Cobain ever wrote.

Seconding Sleater-Kinney because they were probably one of the best bands of all time: 'Dig Me Out' and 'The Woods' are required listening.

If you want slightly folkier there is always Waxahatchee's 'Cerulean Salt' and if you want something in the same vein but a touch harsher you can try Hop Along's 'Get Disowned'.
