gfarrell80 posted:I think the greatest bands in the world are Bloc Party and Death Cab for Cutie. I've been listening to Pandora, which found a small number of bands I liked among alot of terrible crap. Actually I think I found Bloc Party through Pandora. Where are you from? Bloc Party kind of came out of a "new wave of new wave" explosion in the UK around 2003 so you might want to check out The Futureheads, Maximo Park and The Kaiser Chiefs. I'm not too keen on any of the above, but I hear a strong influence of Gang of Four and early The Cure albums in Bloc Party, so they might be worth a look too.

japanese girl posted:I'd give MSTRKRFT and Boys Noize a shot: Excellent recommendations, along with the aforementioned Danger and Sebastian, but could I add Digitalism and Alter Ego to the recommendations? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aR3pRPJBGCQ - Digitalism: Homezone http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4_6Tmpqp3c4 - Digitalism: Digitalism in Cairo http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZKllOr5l-o - Alter Ego: Rocker http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfbfn...feature=related - Alter Ego: Why Not? I'm hoping someone can recommend me some more bands with a 'Desert Noir' kind of sound. What I'm looking for is alternative rock/country with cinematic sensibilities. Think Ennio Morricone or Robert Rodriguez. The following bands do what I'm looking for really well: Calexico: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lRAsyWnW8dY http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dasTl...next=1&index=19 Firewater: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Yr7O9bPcc http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=d52mb9xeGwI If I can imagine a gut-shot private-eye driving a convertible through the desert with $500, 000 in stole cash in a motel pillowcase in the backseat to it, I want to hear it.

Jesus, you guys really recommended some good stuff. I thank you, but my bank balance is going to hate your guts.

theEZkill posted:Need similar bands like I tend to associate Four Tet and The Knife since I got into them at a similar time, but they don't sound as glitchy or electronic as Boys Noize or Crystal Castles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_POkOLy2rM

Tweaker1 posted:I'm sure it's out there, I don't really know any of it though. I do love the figurines a lot. Try Dag Nasty for 'Rites...' type stuff. Texas is the Reason kind of fit and maybe some Hot Water Music? They're all in my library at Last FM if you want a look: http://www.last.fm/user/SADDeadite/library

Camping.. Intense! posted:Anyone recommend any indie or rock bands that use a lot of world music influences? Especially indian or middle eastern stuff. Firewater are the obvious choice since their lead member/song writer recorded their last album by touring the middle-east and recording people he met with his laptop. Check out tracks from 'The Golden Hour' on their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/realfirewater

Fame Throwa posted:I'm learning Gaelic and I'm looking for some music so I can get a better feel for the language. What are some good bands? I don't like Enya sort of music so much but that's most of what I find. I think Runrig often sing in Gaelic, but they're awful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runrig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj_srxNrQC0

Farts Domino posted:I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but there are a couple of garage-psych bands that tend towards that dark fuzzed sound. Maybe try The Seeds or Electric Prunes. Not all of their songs are like that (and I swear I'm missing some obvious choices here) but they might work for you. I didn't explain myself very well, but yeah, The Garage-psych thing's about right. I've been enjoying The Monks album I picked up the other day too, if that's any help.

FateFree posted:I'm looking for some recommendations for the mix of piano, keyboard synths, nintendo sounding noises, combined with either slow or fast music. If you like The Faint, you might like some other Electroclash bands or electroclash influenced bands. Try maybe Tiga or Fischerspooner. Tiga - Far From Home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfJ8prhLbtQ Fischerspooner - Emerge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8Jth4UtsY0 The chiptune movement seems to be made up of a lot of smaller, independent bands or individual artists with Crystal Castles being the obvious chiptune influenced cross-over act, but start with Anamanaguchi and then see if you're interested in 'pure' chip-tune from there if you like lo-fi, clearly synthetic 'nintendo' sounds. Anamanaguchi - Sting Operation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApCvhwbXytM EDIT: If you're looking for music that's fairly poppy but utilises lo-fi electonics, The Rentals have Moogs out the rear end: The Rentals - Friends of P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuHw...feature=related Disco Pope fucked around with this message at Dec 29, 2009 around 20:21 |

I saw 'Crazy Heart' the other night and quite enjoyed some of the downbeat country near the end. I'm already quite a big fan of Calexico and like the cinematic, world-hopping sound that they have too, so they might be a good 'guide band.' Basically I'm looking for some mournful country, ideally with some slide guitar because I'm a sucker for it, that steers clear of the cheese that I usually find off-putting.

1mil Billy Mitchell posted:A friend asked me about a recommendation and I've been thinking about it for a bit but I'm not sure where to go here. He asked me where he could branch out from by giving me Orbital - Halycon + On + On. A much newer band, but probably The gently caress Buttons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xWRi8O7gek Edit: With hindsight, I agree with the mod. This is pretty off base, feel free to disregard.

het posted:Okay, while it's entirely possible the dude's friend may very well like this, do you have any idea what ambient, techno, The Orb, Aphex Twin, Orbital, the track Halcyon+On+On or any of the other things mentioned sound like? This isn't the "Recommend the band that sounds slightly like what you think the person described Megathread". Okay, hands up my post wasn't well written, and 'ambient' and 'techno' are really clouded terms, but it was a genuine recommendation based on the work of the artists listed that I've owned music by. With hindsight it was pretty off base and not well thought out. Sorry. Disco Pope fucked around with this message at Dec 7, 2010 around 20:31 |

Skilleddk posted:Thanks a lot! Whole Rosso Corsa records label seems to be great for this kinda stuff You may also enjoy 'Drokk' by Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury. It's the imaginary soundtrack to a 1980s Judge Dredd movie, although it's more soundtrack-y that disco-y. Very easy to find and buy, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqxR...feature=related Apologies for the odd video.
