Pompous Rhombus posted:I got some great recommendations last time I asked (Bonobo and Lemonjelly), but I'm still looking for some more good instrumental, study-compatible music. Some of it might be a little on the busy side for study music, but you might enjoy Hauschka (stream @ last.fm). He is a German gentleman who plays prepared piano and on this album he has included strings, along with little dabs of electronics, brass, etc. Electronic music and minimalism are certain influences. That might be making it sound like some kind of avant-garde nightmare but it's also quite accessible, even catchy, and definitely avoids falling into the bottomless pit of purely academic exercises. One of my favorite albums from 2008 actually.

echinopsis posted:Really? I don't doubt you but all the dub I've heard sounds a lot less like reggae and almost what happens when dance music and reggae have a black swan for a child. The "skanking" aspect of reggae seems totally amiss for one - which I always thought was quite fundamental.. Or I could be wrong? You're not totally wrong, you're just thinking of a different dub. There's dub like King Tubby and then there's dub as in Pole. The former came first and the latter is influenced and based on it, and obviously inherited the name, but it's gone so far off in another direction that as you observed they are mostly separate things in practice. By the way, does anyone have some recommendations for hosed up, quirky, or otherwise reasonably weird "pop" music. Examples include Camille, Tujiko Noriko, Bjork of course, Dani Siciliano, some Anja Garbarek stuff, Susanna and the Magical Orchestra... Electronics aren't strictly necessary but I guess all of these have an electronic sound. breaks fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Mar 27, 2009 |

A moody/sad piece I like is Cesar Franck's violin sonata. There's a nice version of it played by Christian Ferras (a sad story himself) and Pierre Barbizet, first part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nktXvX5MIgU I think it's what I'd like as haunted mansion music anyway.

The guide isn't a total lie, but it's both dated and tongue in cheek at best.FalconGuy016 posted:I know very very little about techno or electronica (?) music but I always enjoy it when I hear a really chill "techno" song. Maybe chill trance song? I don't know. I'd like to get into that world but I don't know where to start. Can anyone recommend me anything? This is very vague, so here's a variety of stuff, mostly at a lower tempo though. Martin Buttrich - What's Your Name Matthew Herbert - The Audience Burial - Ghost Hardware Deadbeat - Gimme a Little Dub Tycho - Sunrise Projector Manual - Nova Fennesz - Black Sea Medway & Sean Cusick - Columns of Clouds (last.fm) Tipper - Adrift For Days LTJ Bukem - Watercolours If you like that Tipper track the album it's from kicks rear end, especially if you have a surround system and get hold of the surround version of it.

The track you linked is neither trance nor drum n bass. I don't have a list of producers for you, but "hardstyle" is the current terminology for stuff in the style of your linked track, search that and you'll find plenty. Used to be called "uk hard house" back in the first part of this decade, and it's basically the modern version of mid-90s happy hardcore, so you might like that stuff too I guess.

To throw in some more recommendations for these recent requests for classical/orchestral/art music, how about some Sibelius, his 6th symphony starts here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH1BmdZ6UtM Really all 7 of them are great and can be easily found from the above link. Aw heck let's have a Scandinavian orchestral hoedown! Nielsen's 3rd symphony: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT3zm6o2mB0 Svendsen's romance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0H8Df4HAdw Grieg's piano concerto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxzpy1b1_BY Stenhammar's 2nd piano concerto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Gff5iXLRY Gade's op1 overture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TInni-4oCe0 breaks fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Oct 24, 2009 |

Black Lung & Xingu Hill - The Andronechron Incident You can listen to all of it on last.fm. Fits your description prefectly I think, not exactly an easy listen but it's one hell of an album. breaks fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Nov 24, 2009 |

FetusOvaries posted:What bands are similar to Slowdive? I'm looking for the more dream pop side of shoegaze rather than the noisy abrasive stuff like MBV. All I've been listening to lately is Slowdive and Cocteau Twins. Try The Fauns. I was on a real Slowdive kick last year and looking for stuff that was new / not Slowdive, and ended up listening the hell out of their album. They aren't exactly the most innovative band you'll ever hear, but it worked for me anyway. Maybe Alison's Halo too, if you don't already know of them. Not consistently good in my opinion, but they don't exactly have a mountain of material to sort through. (Those are both big swooshes of noise / wall of fog bands I guess, but not in an abrasive way, and anyway I never did really find anything that scratched the same itch for me as the clean riffy portion of Slowdive's output). breaks fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Jun 23, 2010 |

shiro posted:Can anyone recommend something similar to Piana or the AOKI Takamasa + Tujiko Noriko album 28? Something along the lines of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92ebxbkyoyo and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GavUt8FZMnk Miko - Parade. Uh, there are a couple people with this name but she has only got this one album right now anyway. Emilie Simon - March of the Empress. Not her other albums which are more straightforward pop stuff (albeit with quirky sound design). Silje Nes - Ames Room is a possibility, reminds me of Tujiko Noriko's earlier solo stuff sometimes, but more song-y/not as out there. She has got a new album out that's more straightforward. Maybe Lullatone, I don't much care for them myself... Mum and Bjork are probably obvious.

I am looking for more stuff like Found Out by Caribou or I Can't Feel by Matthew Dear or One Touch by LCD Soundsystem. What I like about these songs is the sort of dark, decently tempoed, slightly wonky, not too dense, techy popmusic. I know that's awfully specific but I'd appreciate any bands, artists, or single tracks along these lines. breaks fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Feb 12, 2011 |

NotWearingPants posted:More like these please! I especially liked the one from Ceremony. You might like The Soft Moon, but they are deeper and have more electronic elements than APTBS or Ceremony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9t8Oex9BpQ One of those rare bands that's actually better live too, if you like their stuff definitely go see them if they come through your area. You might also like at least some of Ringo Deathstarr, though they tend to be more typically shoegazey than those bands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TGkmSm5qqQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WY4hrxsF74

Maybe check out Kadavar too, they really kicked rear end when I saw them at psych fest in the spring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ticL_7eLkGM breaks fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Jul 23, 2014 |
