Jadz posted:But again, if I obviously suck so bad at modern orchestral recommendations, please post some of your own recommendations and let's stop making GBS threads up this thread with "your recommendations suck". Here are a few ranging from 1800 to 1950. Many of them are tone poems. The Strauss is of course more dissonant (and it's soprano & orchestra), and my favorite of these is the Ives because it makes me feel like a Transcendentalist and it's an important piece for the beginning of American orchestral work. I particularly like the piano contrast in the middle of the third "place." If you want to be a lot more daring, try Schoenberg and Webern. And Stravinsky owns, listen to DFH. Hector Berlioz - Harold en Italie, 1834 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB_RtqA8ssA Franz Lizst - Les Préludes, 1848-61 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BZgte0ObLw Bedřich Smetana - Die Moldau, 1874 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsP-RhaAeDg Frederick Delius - On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring, 1912 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYXNJcvIy2U Charles Ives - Orchestral Set No. 1: Three Places in New England, 1913-1929 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKJw74JWYwg Ottorino Respighi - Fontane di Roma, 1915 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8jJHa8_FY4 Richard Strauss - Vier letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs), 1948 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1AvXOXhjmY Look at that, plenty of suggestions without having to resort to popular film scores or video games.

Christ, it's loving beautiful. I'm new at this (I was the guy that Jadz recommended previously  ), but if you're going to like Cello, you seriously need to listen to the Bach Unaccompanied Cello Suites. They're all absolutely fantastic. Nothing like the Planets being one instrument and all, but they're still damned good. More in line with the Planets is Tchaikovsky's 4th symphony, particularly the finale. The unfortunate side is I find a disappointing majority of classical recordings to be relatively unlistenable. The amount of room hiss in most recordings is extremely distracting. Makes finding all the different iterations a lot easier as you're searching for the best quality though. You'll tend to find the best orchestras/arrangements amidst the search. Starting to really get into classical is extremely fun though. The scope of it is enormous. Nothing like starting pretty much any other genre. You end up with 10 minute selections that involve complicated foreign words and a thousand different arrangements and conductors and orchestras and...

Hey, if I really like Boys Noize, what other people should I look into? What's the best name to approximate his genre? I've listened to Justice, too, but find their stuff to be less intense. I particularly like all the vocoder work and the intense breakdowns in Boys Noize. Thanks in advance.

They're both Electro House, just slightly different styles / use of filters. For real grindy breakdown-heavy stuff thats a little faster and poundier than Justice check out Digitalism, Vitalic, MSTRKRFT, Wolfgang Gartner, Das Glow and Surkin. As for stuff with more vocoders, can't go wrong with Daft Punk.

And on a related note, for anyone with any interest in country, Porter Wagoner (as featured, posthumously, at the beginning of that video) was an amazing performer, one of the genre's best old-time storytellers. His discography goes back to the '50s, but his best album in forever came out in 2007 on the Anti label. A couple Porter Wagoner selections below, both of which are a bit on the grim side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbaCokEdNz0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl4yjGzWOvI

I've recently discovered fusion/jazz fusion, and was wanting to know what's the best way to go about getting into this genre. I'm a long time classic/hard rock listener (anything from AC/DC to Rush to Led Zep to KISS is generally on my pallet), and something about this genre appeals to me (probably the instrumentals). Currently I've been listening to one of the radio stations on live365 and trying to pay attention to the band names that pop across (was surprised to see Journey come along), but would like some artist recommendations for a beginner rather than randomly poking into something I know nothing about.

OK here is how fusion works. First: the most canonical material and pretty much the only material that everyone can agree on being great is Miles Davis's music from 1968-75. This encompasses the jams and experiments that made up half a dozen studio records and half a dozen live albums. Coming from a straight-ahead rock background here I think you would like A Tribute to Jack Johnson (studio record) and the Cellar Door Sessions (live recordings) the most as those are the ones that balance Hendrix and JB influences with other kinds of experimentation really well, but you'll eventually want to get everything from this period. Second: there was a big collection of groups that people who were in Miles' bands formed once they split off from him. Off the top of my head: Weather Report (Wayne Shorter/Joe Zawinul) Mahavishnu Orchestra (John McLaughlin) Return to Forever (Chick Corea) Tony Williams' Lifetime Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi/Crossings/Sextant-era band (and in turn, Eddie Henderson, Billy Hart, Buster Williams and Bennie Maupin solo projects), and his Headhunters band Larry Coryell/Eleventh House I think that Herbie's work here is uniformly great, and the first Mahavishnu record, the first Lifetime record and the first set of Weather Report records are very good, and most of the rest of that poo poo sucks, so I'm drawn to other areas of fusion. The above is usually more rock-oriented than the rest of the genre though. Third: Blue Note started to record fusion at around this time (1969-70). Bobby Hutcherson, Joe Henderson, Eddie Henderson, Horace Silver, Grant Green, Larry Young and Ronnie Foster are key names here. Lots of snobs will talk about how Blue Note declined during this time. They can eat poo poo; this music is far, far better than an alternate history wherein they continue to churn out acoustic soul-jazz. Fourth: The CTI label is another really big deal in fusion. CT recorded Freddie Hubbard, George Benson, Hank Crawford, Stanley Turrentine and Donald Byrd when they switched to fusion along with a bunch of other neat records, including Idris Muhammad and pre-suck Grover Washington Jr. This poo poo rules as long as you don't expect rock music like you'd get out of McLaughlin or Coryell; think more soul-oriented. Get some of it and see if you like it. Fifth: There's a big, big crossover between fusion, avant- and free jazz, soulful modal jazz, modern R&B, disco and psych that you won't find any talk about unless you dig deeper than narratives that cover Miles and other mainstreamish jazz-rock. Start here: http://www.freeform.org/music/kozmigroov.html Strata East, Flying Dutchman and ECM (EARLY ECM) are big labels to look at. Definitely get Lonnie Liston Smith's first three records and some Roy Ayers! I am sure I am forgetting something, and I'm going to let someone else yakk about the prog rock side of jazz-rock and fusion.

Im looking for stuff from any decade, just stuff in the vein of the black lips, the thermals, titus andronicus, japandroids, etc. I've been listening to a lot of lo-fi lately and I would say these albums all are essential: Archers of Loaf - Icky Mettle. Vee Vee is a great album as well but this is my favorite of theirs, one of my favorite records of the 90's to be honest. Sebadoh - Bakesale. Bubble & Scrape is my personal favorite (also one of my favorite records), but Bakesale might be a better album to start with, since it's more consistent, but it's best songs doesn't really reach as high as the best on B&S. Grifters - Crappin' You Negative. Noisy and atonal lo-fi indie rock, yet another favorite of the 90's. As for more punkish bands, I'm sure you'll like Superchunk if you digged The Body, The Blood, The Machine. Superchunk haven't really released anything bad but No Pocky For Kitty is their best album and Tossing Seeds (Singles 89 - 91) is a great compilation.

Im looking for stuff from any decade, just stuff in the vein of the black lips, the thermals, titus andronicus, japandroids, etc. Woo I love this stuff. First, band from the 90s to check out is The Mummies. Great garage in a punkier vein, more lo-fi as well. Going back a bit further, basically any punk band in the late 70s-early 80s is going to have the sort of sound that a lot of newer bands are imitating. If you haven't already (and you probably have), check out the first two X albums, Wipers, and a Killed By Death compilation or two. Most of those bands have been getting album-length reissues of their own lately, so there's a lot of territory there. However, I'd agree with sixteenstraws that the best place to start is the catalogue of In The Red. All of it. Thee Oh Sees are my favorite, though. Oh and The Sonics. The Sonics are the best ever and started allll this poo poo. Edit: and more! To continue my tradition of recommending riot girl bands to everyone who wants something even remotely close, try Bikini Kill's singles compilation (it's under twenty minutes), Bratmobile - The Real Janelle, and Huggy Bear - Taking the Rough with the Smooch. Pretty similar sound to what you like, but female instead of male vocals. kingcobweb fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Oct 27, 2009 |

(Related and awesome, but not on Crypt, Thee Headcoatees, which is a group of female vocalists backed by Thee Headcoats.)
