dgt posted:Also, any Kraut Rock that isnt Neu!, Faust, Can, Kraftwerk, Amon Duul II, Harmonia, Ash Ra Tempel. If you're into the more ambient, electronic style of krautrock check out Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh and Cluster, or pretty much anything Klaus Schulze was involved in. As far as more prog rock type bands, Cosmic Jokers, Triumvirat, Grobschnitt, Agitation Free and Eloy are good.

Two songs that I can think of immediately offhand that at least somewhat fit the bill are: If you don't mind bizarre and occasionally dark lyrics, a lot of Of Montreal songs meet those criteria though a few good ones I can think of off the top of my head are Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider, Heimsdalgate Like A Promethean Curse and Id Engager

teexas posted:Any suggestions on Philip Glass albums? Kinda depends on what specific style of work you're looking for (solo piano, orchestral, one of his operas or movie soundtracks, etc). If you're looking for a broad introduction to his work I would get one of his compilation albums, the 'Oevres Majeurs' 2cd one is the only one i have and it's good. Otherwise, my personal favorite is Itaipu / The Canyon, followed by Music in Twelve Parts and the soundtracks to Mishima and Powwaqatsi also re whoever asked for really ambient sound pulsey stuff, check out Robert Rich, The Orb, Pete Namlook, and Kompakt records pop ambient releases kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Mar 30, 2009 |

Now, I love the poo poo out of this genre and have quite a lot of it, but as of late I'm in a bit of a 'electronic mixed with live instrument oriented music sounds like rear end' phase (sup Zero 7, Bonobo, etc), if anyone could recommend me some more live instrument oriented stuff in the genre that would be AMAZING. to be overtly more specific I'm a huge fan of the classy sounding bit at the end of Radiohead - Optimistic that carries into In Limbo. try Tortoise, United Future Organization, Jaga Jazzist, Liquid Soul and The Brand New Heavies. also maybe Senor Coconut, they don't sound like the end of that radiohead song but they do remind me of Nouvelle Vague and their stuff is live. i have to say though, i'm also a pretty big fan of the genre and from what i've heard the sample-based producers (xploding plastix, wagon christ, thievery corporation etc) making that kind of music are consistently better than the live guys with the exception of Cinematic Orchestra IMO. the live bands tend to sound a lot more like straight up jazz with a hip hop or house beat, or kind of Jamiroquai style funky house with real instruments, not like Ninja Tune Records brand of acid jazz. i don't really see why not playing live instruments bothers you, though, when sampling's done well it either sounds enough like real instruments or is mixed together in an artful way, ideally most of them seem like they want it to sound like a hip hop dj mixing two funk records together which isn't electronic at all. i get what you mean with artists that use a lot of synths and cheesy computery effects though.

CinnamonToastFunk posted:I'm looking for some upbeat, early jazz like Cab Calloway and Django Reinhardt. Completely different styles, but I want that same kind of bounce that their stuff has. Nothing after 1940, so no cool/smooth sax-and-pad poo poo that you hear at 11 PM on the radio with a deep-voiced DJ, please. well for big names you've got Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald... but honestly i'd suggest tracking down a Swing/Big Band or Jazz Standards multi-cd compilation. the trouble with exploring that period of time through different artists is that there were a lot of different people all collaborating with each other covering a lot of the same old songs, and the regional scenes all had their own interesting flavors and it's easier to absorb as a whole, wide genre than getting albums of hits by one bandleader or singer in particular. Also most artists did a mix of slower, ballady type crooner songs with the real upbeat dancey stuff. Have you seen the Jazz documentary by Ken Burns? He goes into a lot of the notable artists of that era. Also read up on Tin Pan Alley. PS: writing off all modern jazz just because of the stuff you hear on the radio, is as ignorant and closed minded as those old dudes who say that all rock music post 1978 or whatever sucks, just saying. also the swing era was still going strong into the 40s... kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 21:36 on May 17, 2009 |

Whenever I go to a bar I always hear songs that don't get popular for another few weeks, would like to stay ahead of the curve. most djs have a wide range of various specific weekly charts by other djs, blogs, and newssites they read, or keep an eye on the weekly top downloads in their pet genre on Beatport, also getting monthly updates from record labels you like, there's not one particular place you can go for a 'cheat sheet' of all the new music especially just for 'dance music' as a whole and not any one specific style. a good place to start if you like house or techno though is Resident Advisor.

any advice on choral composers or vocal groups that explore atonality and harmonic texture? i guess what I'm imagining in my head is not so much the sort of 'non-singing' / making mouth noises or rhythmic kind of vocal experimentation but real tone based, sort of like that kind of muslim unison prayer chanting or droning like gregorian kind of stuff but with a modernist or atonal approach, like experimenting with the way that slightly off-tune harmonies make that sort of 'bumpy' frequency and stuff.

Gulp of Mexico posted:Can anyone help me find another song similar to this one? I've gone through tags/similar bands but all of the poo poo doesn't sound the same. For example, I look at the different genre's listed for the song, and all of the songs under that genre sound different from this one to me. I'm mainly looking for a similar feel of the song, how it builds up using the different sounds. I like how there are different "layers" of beats. I know nothing about music, so this post sucks. I get what you're saying, but the problem is this is one of the conventions of electronic dance music, especially house and trance - because of the way it's meant to be enjoyed, in a live set mixed together by a dj, the first couple minutes and last minutes are going to be less interesting because they're going to end up being 'in the mix', being played at the same time as another track, and if both of them were rich from the get go it would be jarring. You're just either going to have to get over it, skip over the first couple minutes of songs when you're listening, or listen to 'radio mix' versions of tracks, or maybe buy/download entire live dj sets rather than individual tracks. Stuff similar to that BT song though, check out Plaid, mu-ziq, Squarepusher or mum. this is closer to downtempo / IDM than most of bt's typical stuff which is maybe why you didn't like the given reccomendations. kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 18:56 on May 24, 2009 |

Green Puddin posted:Remembering yesteryear, I did a search for some music from The Avalanches group. If you don't remember them, look up Since I Left You or Frontier Psychiatrist for some examples. Anyway, realizing I like this kind of stuff, I have two questions. The first being, are there any other bands like this? And secondly, did these guys just vanish off the face of the earth or what? They haven't released anything after that album, my guess would be that it was just a pet project by a couple of sound engineers or something. However, Wikipedia suggests that they've got a new album that's coming out soon that they're waiting for samples to clear on for, so cross your fingers for that I guess. The only artist I can think of off hand who's really similar both in mood and production technique is Luke Vibert / Wagon Christ. If the thing you like about The Avalanches is the way everything is made from sampling, you might want to try Kid Koala, maybe even The Evolution Control Committee and Tape-Beatles. But if you're just looking for groovy lounge music then try Thievery Corporation, The Herbaliser or RJD2.

Black Emperor, Rufus Wainwright, The National and Arcade Fire as previously mentioned. Actually check out basically anything described as Baroque Pop as it's basically chamber music + indie pop rock, and a good number of bluegrass, celtic or gypsy folk fusion bands have fiddlers in them too if that's more your style (Gogol Bordello, DeVotchKa, The Decemberists, The Corrs, etc) on a slightly stranger bent, try Frog Pocket - celtic fiddle mixed with IDM/breakcore vvv (long belated edit but one of the posts below reminded me i forgot Beirut who is also excellent!) kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Jun 25, 2009 |

There's still a shitload of that, have you even gone to the ethnic/folk section at the store or on amazon or anything? There's at least a hundred 'gypsy folk' compilations from Roma bands and other bands/series that get into the wide range of folk traditions in eastern europe, start with a general one and then explore individual countries and ethnic groups (klezmer, turkish folk, hungarian, baltic stuff, russian and former USSR, etc all have distinct sounds and styles though the chord progressions and instruments may be similar). Taraf de Haidouks is a good start. The "hey hey hey" thing is more common in Russian music though. *edit for more helpful: i'm not trying to be mean it's just that looking for the 'best' folk bands is kind of pointless because the best ones are most likely gonna be living in a village you've never even heard of with no cds released, and pretty much the ones who got famous are all excellent instrumentalists with a good grasp of the traditional songs in their region, but the history and stuff is all going to be somewhat faked and whitewashed for marketing in the west, it's difficult to know whether what you're getting is 'authentic' if you're not a folklorist but even the 'unauthentic' music is still going to sound like what you want kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Jul 4, 2009 |

Timelord posted:I'm looking to get into some older classical music. I can hazard a guess that I should listen to some Bach, Joplin, and Mozart.. But I don't quite know where to go from there. I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about with the 'play's soundtrack' business but why not try a classical compilation series? A good place to look is the local library, you can borrow a CD and then *ahem* it... Most composers have a fairly characteristic style that their works follow and in a 300 year old music it's not like there's going to be anyone new, hot and obscure you're missing out on. If you just want random names, Beethoven, Haydn and Schubert should definitely up there in the classics with Mozart and Bach, a few of my favorite later romantic composers are Tchaikofsky, Grieg, Chopin, Berlioz and Mendelssohn, and if you think you might like opera (hint: it's awesome) check out Verdi, Bizet, Wagner and Puccini, as well as Mozart's The Magic Flute (my favorite work by him). I'm still not entirely sure what Joplin has to do with this (I'm assuming you're talking about Scott and not Janice, unless there's a classical composer named Joplin I've never heard of) but his stuff is pretty standard ragtime, so along those lines try Joseph Lamb and Greg Scott *edit: forgot a couple* kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Aug 1, 2009 |

I don't know how low your pop tolerance is but some of Amy Winehouse's backing music is pretty drat funky and fun too.

Ishkur is a FOAF and he's a pretty cool guy in real life, he's kind of moving away from the scene though and focusing on his career like most ppl his age which is why his guide hasn't been updated in the last few years. I disagree with his taste and some of the way he's organized things, but honestly I still think his guide is a great way to get a general idea of the difference between the major genres and what influences and cross-influences they have, it's funny if not entirely accurate, and it has loving samples which puts it miles ahead of pretty much every other music guide (even Wikipedia isn't as easy and as quick to use). I would certainly reccomend someone click a few random bubbles in the 'house' section before they download a mix of house music not even knowing what it is that they might end up hating

CinnamonToastFunk posted:I need new New Wave. I love the poo poo out of Talking Heads, early Gary Numan, B-52's, Santigold, Eurythmics, and Klaus loving Nomi (seriously I have listened to his self titled album at least 30 times in the past year), but I'd like some new artists along those lines (heavy reliance on synths, odd vocals). a lot of good ones have been listed but i'll add Pet Shop Boys, Yazoo, Kraftwerk, Human League, early INXS and Roxy Music

neckbeard posted:Recently I've been binging on European symphonic metal and was looking for some recommendations on some classical orchestral music. As I don't really listen to classical music at all I really don't know how to be less vague, but if someone could recommend some symphonies that would appeal to a metal head, that would be great. Try Verdi's Requiem, Tchaikofsky's 4th Symphony, Shostakovich's 5th Symphony, Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain, Beethoven's 3rd Symphony, and Wagner's Valkyrie, they all get very  and canon examples people might call the most 'epic' orchestral works
