I'd really like to get into some beautiful electronic ambient stuff. Can you recommend the genre staples? Or superb unknowns? Or anything that fits, I suppose.

I'd like to thank everyone who's helped with my previous requests. This thread is indispensable.

You'd definitely like Eluvium. My favorite album by him is Talk Amongst the Trees and his Travels in Constant EP. Four Tet is also good, although he's more in the electronic side. His album Rounds is superb, and his newest There is Love in You is also really good. Finally, I would recommend Aidan Baker. He is a prolific motherfucker, but to start off, I'd check out The Sea Swells a Bit... and Oneiromancer.

Lately I've really been digging The Flaming Lips, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Shpongle, Yndi Halda, chill bands that are more poignant (well at least for me anyway) that I can listen to with other people and while tripping. This is strange because my true nature is in grindcore and death metal, so this concept of relaxed music is very foreign to me. I especially love the song Do You Realize?? By the lips, this is one of the coolest songs I have ever heard! If anyone has any recommendations for music similar to these bands (any of them, I realize the list I provided is somewhat erratic) it would be much appreciated. The rcommendation thread has never failed me you guys know what the gently caress is up haha!

This isn't terribly related to the Flaming Lips, but based on your interests (especially Yndi Halda) you may want to check out post-rock and shoegaze. Here are some albums you can start with:

Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place
Daturah - Daturah
This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain (EP)
Hypatia Lake - ...and We Shall Call Him Joseph
The Vera Violets - The Last Kiss (EP)
Alcest - Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde (Black metal meets shoegaze)

And speaking as a fan of metal (more black than death now), I'd say it's perfectly natural to want some contrast in music.

You may like sludge/post-metal. Here's some of my favorites from that genre.

ISIS - Celestial
Rosetta - The Galilean Satellites
Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along the Highway
Neurosis - Given to the Rising

This is practically a month ago and you've already had most of the best suggestions, but in case you're still around, you might also like Annie, Ellie Goulding, Lights, and possibly Dragonette and some Marina and the Diamonds songs?

I've checked these out, too. I really liked La Roux, Ladyhawke, and Florence + The Machine.

Can anyone recommend me some ambient similar to Eno's Ambient 1/Music For Airports? It's a great album to study to, but it's fast becoming overplayed.

Steve Roach (Structures from Silence) would be right up your alley. You could also give William Basinski (The Disintegration Loops) a try.

Right now I'm liking alot of Shoegaze/Ambient/Noise/Punk, kinda like No Age, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Deerhunter

I like shoegaze but I get a bit sick of the dream poppy variety, can anyone recommend something a bit more aggressive and noisy?

Three related bands you should check out, A Place to Bury Strangers, Ceremony (not the hardcore one), and Skywave.

Ceremony - Cold Cold Night:

Haven't listened to many Skywave stuff (yet), so I'm terribly familiar with them.

I love Nadja and I have that already, any others?

Are you asking for more Nadja track recommendations, because I got poo poo loads: Numb, Absorbed in You (I actually prefer the original version in the split with Methadrone), The Bungled and the Botched, Bug/Golem...

If you're looking for recommendations of Jesu/Nadja-esque acts, then you may like The Angelic Process. Their songs are not that long (8 min songs average), but their sound is very Nadja-esque.

If you can stand some black metal, then I'd highly recommend Njiqahdda. I get huge Nadja vibes from them.

A request from before that was never filled. I like the style of country Ryan Bingham plays. It's gritty but still fun. Anything similar I should know about?

Can anyone recommend me some good (non-Massive Attack/Portishead) trip-hop or softer hip hop. I'd prefer some English artists if possible.

I'll assume you know DJ Shadow and Tricky (if not, get Endtroducing and Maxinquaye). Here are some albums:

Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X

Does anyone know some good songs that feature both male and female vocals? I am not particular about the genre.

Lovage has the amazing duo of Mike Patton and Jennifer Charles (from Elysian Fields). They play off of each other so well.

I have recently been liking a lot of..I guess electro pop you would call it.

Been listening to Santigold for a long time. That new La Roux single has gotten me back into pop.
I like artists like Sam Sparro, La Roux, Ladytron, Santigold, Amanda Blank.

Any other artists along the lines of the ones I've listed?

Thanks.

For more Ladies, you'd probably like Ladyhawke and Lady Gaga (don't know if she needs a recommendation).

I know I should look at trip-hop, but a lot of it is too uptempo compared to this. By that, I mean most trip-hop I know is more chillout in atmosphere than mournful. I really like the plodding, melancholic beats and that voice.

What are some good metallish bands with a shoegazey feel? I'm looking for stuff like Jesu, Alcest, or Nadja.

Njiqahdda is what Nadja would sound like if they were a black metal band, including the prolific output. I recommend their album Taegnuub - Ishnji Angma to start off with.

Rosetta has a lot of swirling guitars so you may like them. They also have a post-rock aesthetic to them. Check out their album The Galilean Satellites.

Cross-posted from the black metal thread.

I've been really liking the Eastern European atmospheric stuff like Walknut, Ygg, Drudkh, Darkestrah... Can anyone recommend any other bands in the same vein? Doesn't have to be Eastern European (WIITR for example).
