Recommend me instrumental stuff with a focus on guitar, preferably along the lines of stuff like Kaki King (even though she has vocals in some songs), Explosions in the Sky, 65daysofstatic, etc. Really anything that's instrumental guitar that doesn't sound like 80s shredmetal dudes like Steve Vai/Joe Satriani/whatever.

In addition to the other recs, you might enjoy some new shoegaze stuff that's been coming out, namely the bands Alcest and Jesu. The former only has one album and it's a pretty good throwback to shoegaze, nothing innovative but fun to listen to. The latter has a couple albums with the later stuff being more shoegazey than the early stuff, the Silver EP is definitely worth checking out.

OK so i have a weird request. I'm reading a book where Sonoran Jazz plays a prominent role. I want to have a better idea of what this would sound like (I'm guessing something like stripped down Flamenco??). So I guess I'm looking for recommendations of Latin-American/Central-American Jazz, preferrably Northern but whatever will do. Any ideas?

Can anyone tell me any songs that have muted guitars as one of the primary instruments? I tend to like the mood of songs like "Here's to the Night" or "Every Breath you Take." I don't know if this is too specific, but if you guys have any suggestions of songs to listen to, let me know!

Anyone point me towards some good instrumental slide guitar? Not really fast like Leo Kottke, and not exactly bluesy riff slide guitar, just slow, melancholy cowboy slide guitar.

Hi guys. I've recently been listening to alot of Meshuggah, and free jazz. I've heard some bands that combine this pretty well. Basically, I want the hardness of metal with the free improvisational nature of jazz. It can gladly be similar to noise with some structure, avant garde etc. It has to be good, though. That's abit stupid to say, but it really has to be great. Any recommendations? I'd love to hear some!

You should definitely look into Bruce Kaphan's Slider album. He's worked with American Music Club/Red House Painters, REM and David Byrne, but this is all instrumental, atmospheric slide guitar music. Very highly recommended.

Hi, seeking sprawling, disturbing, disjointed albums. The kind that will keep you up at night and half stop your heart. Along the lines of, say: The Drift by Scott Walker, From Her to Eternity by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Locust Abortion Technician by the Butthole Surfers. Basically as if I were a submissive and sought a master album to completely overwhelm and debase me.

One of my favourite chillout albums is Visions, by Jakatta (an alias of Dave Lee, according to Wikipedia). I like the fact that there are a variety of different tempos on the album, it goes through a few different moods and it flows very well and works well as a whole. It's about as far away from "Chilled Ibiza volume 4^42" as you can get while still being chilled house music. After owning the album for many years I've finally got around to searching for something similar, and... I can't find anything. It doesn't help that I don't even know what genre to place the album in. Can anyone recommend something similar? And by that I mean the complete package - an album not a compilation. I've yet to hear anything else like it (the albums suggested by Pandora are no good) but I'd like to if it's out there. rolleyes fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Apr 7, 2009 |

Can anyone point me towards bands that sound like Ted Leo and the Pharmacists? I have also listened to his earlier stuff with Chisel. I like how it almost sounds punk at times but his vocals keep it folky and poppy. The only band that is kinda close on last.fm is the Oranges Band.

Soundtracks for the Blind by Swans is one of the most disturbing, disjointed albums I've come across. For something even more disturbing there's Nurse With Wound, or for something sprawling there's Neurosis. Or for the one album that actually gave me chills when I listened to it at night there's Battle of Mice's only album. Still chills me a bit when I listen to it, there's something unnerving about her sweet, singsongy voice when she's whispering to you.

So my brother just turned me on to Skalpel, a Polish 'nujazz' band. Coming from bands like Amon Tobin and Xploding Plastix, this is pretty cool stuff. Anyone know of anything similar? The songs linked are some of my favorites if anyone was wondering what nujazz is.

I'm looking for something similar to Chairlift. They're the ones in the iPod Nano commercial. I do not like the guitar rockish side of things, like Jem. I do not like technopop, like Freezepop. I do like the more drum-machined electronic side of things, like Imogen Heap. I do like Delerium. Anyone suggest anything?

Not so much their latest album Through My Dog's Eyes (i dunno, the singer sounds weird and it's not jazzy enough), but their other albums are pretty much what you're after I think. The Painter's Palette is their only worthwhile album. Coprofago are a band from Chile who pretty much copy Meshuggah's formula, but they have occasional jazzy sections. I'd recommend their album Unorthodox Creative Criteria. It ends with instrumental prog/jazz pieces. You would probably also like Silencio's Dead Kings but that's a lot harder to find. edit: Ok, maybe not.
