Mister Snips posted: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. A little bit late on this, but I think I'm generally in the same boat as you, as far as enjoying video game music but meeting most chiptune with distaste. The one artist that was different from me was an0va. He makes chiptune music with the sensibilities of math rock, one of my favorite styles. There still is a very corny and gimmicky sound I suppose, but if you want your bleeps and bloops to happen in odd time signatures this is the project to go to. http://an0va.bandcamp.com/album/the-teaching-machine

If you're going to listen to Foxy Shazam and want to avoid metal, be cautious with what albums you listen to. I personally love Introducing Foxy Shazam and The Flamingo Trigger, but you would not. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE-kAIjhNz0

Transcendent Man posted:My two favorite bands are Animals as Leaders and Intervals. I'm not really a fan of vocals in my music. If someone could recommend a band similar to either of the two I mentioned, I'd really appreciate it. I'm not generally big on djent, but there are a couple of solid instrumental bands in the style. Cloudkicker's early stuff may fit the bill, it's also a bit atmospheric and post-metalish at times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lIXxlHGOn8 Another band that is probably worth checking out is Chimp Spanner - he may be even more in line with what you like as he also came out of the big djent fad that produced so many bands a couple of years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72RP8lvHcqc

FLX posted:I never listen to Hip Hop, because my impression of its themes is that it's just about being better than the others, making more money, being sexist and homophobic and having a worse childhood than the rest. Please recommend me some Hip Hop artists/songs that are not like this, but are about love and happ... This is so incredibly broad I'll just take the liberty of posting a few personal favorites - may be some braggadocio, but I used to have the same problems with rap/hip hop so I don't think you should find it too offensive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Z2EmU-_Vo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewc1hixzYPY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoW0dZasOEE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl-pjb7y3y0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajk0kEi41Vc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzCukmO4fhg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5R4T0yW5_4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yR31ogL3Fg You might like some older '90s hip hop. Experimental hip hop has been at an incredible peak in terms of the volume and quality being released lately as well. Hopefully among all those links you'll find something to latch on to and be able to branch out from there. Pogobubba fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Jan 29, 2013 |

well ... see, I can't even imagine that something like this exists. I'm sure I'm wrong though. Please, point me in the right direction, because Hip Hop music, without the lyrics, is often a pretty cool.

A LOVELY LAD posted:I need music similar to this in me. Com Truise is a modern act that captures the '80s vibe very well and generally has a great sound and exceptional songwriting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhAEIPkwBQs

Blazing Ownager posted:I'm looking for some music in a genre I've had a soft spot for, but can barely find any of: Namely, "heavier" spins on Spaghetti Western style music, from rock to metal to industrial or maybe even limited techno. Actually, any musical twists on the genre would be cool. The showdown music in Season 4 of Breaking Bad felt like modernized SW music as well, while not being heavy at all, but I still like it. I don't have any entire bands that fit this bill, but as a one-off track, I think you would really enjoy Monkey3's cover of Ennio Morricone's Once Upon a Time in the West. They're an italian post-rock/stoner rock band, and the song incorporates the type of guitar tone you would expect from them. Definitely a heavier re-imagining.

Sypeth posted:Since I got a lot of good suggestions, I actually have one more request. I am looking for anything similar to Rolo Tomassi and iwrestledabearonce, the only bands I can think of kinda similar are Horse the Band and Between the Buried and me. I guess kinda weird mathcore/metalcore female vocalist a bonus. I'm interested in stuff like this too, although I've never been big on iwrestledabearonce. You might dig Cerce if you're looking for female fronted stuff, although they're grindcore as opposed to mathcore. As for mathcore bands similar to Rolo Tomassi, I would highly recommend The Number Twelve Looks Like You if you haven't heard them. No synths and no female vocals, but they have similar ways of writing songs. Also, Big Black Delta looks to be a fantastic find, so thanks for that.

Lately I've been bingeing on a band called Adebisi Shank. I love math rock of all sorts, but I am especially enamored with they way they manage to be rhytmically complex while still writing really catchy, dancy material. Best example of this is probably the end of Genki Shank. There are a couple of bands they get compared to who occasionally hit similar grooves, namely Battles and Giraffes? Giraffes! (a bit more of a stretch on that one.) Even some mathcore bands like Rolo Tomassi can hit the sorts of grooves I am looking for with their breakdowns. May be a small niche, but any help finding more hard, syncopated, and mathy grooves along those lines would be greatly appreciated. Bonus points for heaviness and/or dissonance.

Henchman of Santa posted:Check out the other bands on Adebisi Shank's label, Richter Collective. And So I Watch You From Afar should be up your alley. BATS are also great, but are as close to post-hardcore as they are to math rock. Thanks! I already know of and enjoy And So I Watch You From Afar, Bats, and The Redneck Manifesto, so I'm sure I'll find other great stuff there as well.

Lt Greatsocks posted:The only band that's really that close to your exact request is Ghosts and Vodka. I guess. At least this is Already love Ghosts & Vodka - I believe I was actually the first to post them in the math rock thread a couple of years ago. Like more than a couple other math rock bands, their affliction of Three Guitarist Syndrome renders them a bit too dense to achieve the sound I was looking for, although You Slut! kind of manage it. If you love math rock drumming you should check out By The End Of Tonight's demo, In A Letter To The Sandbox. Through a miracle of self-indulgent playing and bad mixing, the drummer creates quite a spectacle. I also know Don Cab, but not Barky. I'll have to check them out. appropriatemetaphor posted:Marnie Stern has a math rocky but dancy sound: This seems very much along the lines of what I was looking for - thanks! Hooplah posted:You're looking for Cinemechanica. The Foals album Antidotes also reminds me of Adebisi Shank a bit, but they're hardly math rock. Whatever, maybe you'll like them. Or maybe DDMMYYY (math rock band names are stupid!!) These responses just keep getting better! The Martial Arts and Face Tat are two of my all time favorite albums, and everything else here will be listened to immediately. Ork of Fiction posted:Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies - "Hurrah! Another Year, Surely This One Will Be Better Than the Last; The Inexorable March of Progress Will Lead Us All to Happiness" This all sounds amazing too. I should really read the threads I post in more often. On a totally unrelated note and in sort of a cross-post from the "Where Should I Start With..." thread, can anyone recommend me some good renditions of Stravinsky, Bartok, or Chopin pieces?

actionjackson posted:Nujabes is blowing my mind, looking for anything similar. Jazzy hip-hop I guess. Only other things I've checked out are Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla, DJ Krush. If you haven't heard him, Madlib is absolutely essential for jazzy hip-hop production. His album Shades Of Blue consists of him mixing and mashing original old jazz recordings at blue note records. He's also done notable collaborations with Dilla and M.F. Doom.

Henchman of Santa posted:Second (and I sort of asked for this before but got more about guitarists and fusion groups), I would like some more solo bass players (preferably instrumental and electric) to make myself feel bad about my own playing. I've already got stuff by these guys: While he's not normally a jazz bassist, Squarepusher has a live album of Solo Electric Bass that's pretty impressive. Adam Nitti plays with a band but might fit the category. Jonas Hellborg is a ridiculous bassist with two solo albums, The Bassic Thing(can't find link) and Elegant Punk.

Henchman of Santa posted:Apparently he has a lot more than that, including an album with Buckethead and Michael Shrieve (the drummer of Santana during their peak). I need to get on that. I just picked those two albums because they're playing unaccompanied. For band he's played in, I'd recommend the stuff he has done with Shawn Lane and Jeff Sipe. This crazy album has some good stuff on it if you're down for a bit of ridiculous jazz-metal.

I've recently discovered Laddio Bolocko and noticed a remarkable similarity to the band Zu, who are also a sax and guitar driven modern Italian experimental band combining noisy, abrasive metal and free jazz. Are there other bands that fit into this niche? Another recent find is Satanicpornocultshop, which reminds me of World's End Girlfriend and makes me wonder how much more awesome, hectic, genre-switching, sample abusing music there is in this vein.

Combat Astronomy seems more of the metal side of what I'm looking for, which is perfectly acceptable. Shining is dead on. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend me something similar to Mr. Oizo's most recent releases since moving to brainfeeder? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tvYMsWTov4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUpjHBDJn5M Basically looking for instrumental electro that's hard to the point of being borderline abrasive with longer, more complex melodies all still over a simple, dancy beat.
