I've been listening to nothing but hip hop for months now, but have very little in my library beyond Das Racist, Outkast, Deltron 3030 and a little Public Enemy. Check out the albums "Paid In Full" by Eric B and Rakim, "3 Feet High and Rising" by De La Soul and if the Beastie Boys don't annoy you, get "Licensed to Ill" then "Paul's Boutique." And if you don't already listen to them, check out PE's albums from 88'-91'. Oh and get A Tribe Called Quest's first 3 albums.

FetusOvaries posted:I probably asked this a lot already, but can anyone suggest some bands that are similar to Low? I'm looking for the slow flanged guitars with lots of reverb and such.. Idk, that band really reminds me of a slowed down version of the Cure or something. Really dreamy Its kind of a bitch to find things that sounds close enough to Low to satisfy yourself, but these bands can get close to it. At least Low has a huge discography so its hard to run out of poo poo by them to listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCw2seCIwGE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmSPPYG9dp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRFxTfb6_wI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue4XE4Y8HEA

I'm looking for some baroque-classical style stuff that uses the organ. No harpsichord please. I really enjoy the minor, diminished, and augmented sound on a nice organ. The obvious point of reference is bach's toccata and fugue, having it played with a bit of a virtuoso style is also a nice touch. Also, I know there are some great organ work in a lot of 70's rock, so if any of those guys have some material they did on their own that would be great too, but I honestly have no idea where to start for finding these composers, Pandora is virtually no help for classical stuff either.

Check out Rick Wakeman's "The Six Wives of Henry VIII." I wouldn't recommend delving into his solo career much beyond this album, though.

Can anyone recommend anything that sounds like this? Specifically that kind of hazy, saturated, psychedelic production. It's almost dreampop-esque which is something I've never really heard before in the context of soul music (granted my knowledge of the genre is pretty limited). Falsetto vocals a bonus but not required.

Magma Christian Vander is probably my favorite drummer of all time. Magma are a very strange band and a lot of people don't like the operatic/jazz scat singing in a fictional language, but I think it's all brilliant. King Crimson Really any era of King Crimson, but the '80s band were responsible for a lot of their most rhythmically complex music, being a weird sort of gamelan music-influenced progressive New Wave. If you like this, you might want to check out Adrian Belew's more recent work with Eric and Julie Slick as the Adrian Belew Power Trio. Eric's an absolutely incredible drummer.

I'd love to hear some more hour-long DJ sets by for example UNKLE or DJ Shadow (not limited to them), but I have absolutely no idea where to grab them. Some more Danger sets would be good too, the Trashbags set has been my workout music for a month now. Any help?

I'd really appreciate some metal recommendations. Basically I'm into the following, in no particular order: Dream Theater (Early-Mid stuff, last two albums = meh) Metallica Opeth Disturbed (On occasion) Avenged Sevenfold (Not really... I've just heard the latest album and like some of the songs, but I think it's just some residual Portnoy fanboyism that's making me listen to it...) Pain of Salvation (Early stuff) I like progressive metal, it has to have depth and good lyrics and good drumming. I really like albums that I can listen to 100 times and still enjoy them/pick up something new from them. Hopefully my taste in music doesn't get too bashed :P

Ingram posted:I'd really appreciate some metal recommendations. Maybe Between the Buried and Me? I listen to a lot of Opeth/DT/PoS and those guys blew me away. The newest album is a great place to start. It's called The Great Misdirect. Gojira is usually really liked by old school Metallica fans. Here's a question of mine: I recently came across 2 albums from Blue Sky Black Death: Late night Cinema and Slow Burning Lights. I usually absolutely hate everything electronic/hiphop, but these 2 albums I just can't stop listening to. Does anyone know of any similar artists? What really hooked me is that it's instrumental for the most part and the dreamy mood. I looked around for instrumental hip hop as that's what they get classified at, but I disliked everything I found, it just sounded like regular hip hop without the lyrics. Edit: I like a couple of songs from Massive Attack, and I really love the Voyage 34 album from Porcupine Tree if it's any help.

Recommendations? https://intergalactic.fm/ is a drat good resource. esepecially Intergalactic Classix. Youtube is surprisingly helpful, since a lot of great singles are on there. Don't limit yourself to Italo, Hi-NRG is just as great. Some of my favorites are (I'm by no means an expert on this poo poo, and I'd assume a lot of these are pretty obvious): Lime - Lime II (especially the song Babe, We're Gonna Love Tonite) Easy Going - Casanova Phaeax - Talk About Cinema - I Love Men Miquel Brown - So Many Men, So Little Time Divine - Shoot Your Shot Divine - Native Love (Step by Step) Bronksi Beat - Smalltown Boy Fun Fun - Have Fun The Flirts - Made in America Patrick Cowley - Megatron Man And for me, I'm looking for some soulful southern hip-hop. I know most of the SUC stuff and a lot of that is close to what I'm looking for, but I guess I'm looking for something in between Pimp C's sweet side and Z-Ro.

I'm looking for sugary 80s new wave and pop that has become obscure over the years. I'm a sucker for 80s pop in general but have already heard a lot of the top ten music since it has sort of been ingrained to our culture as representing that time period. There used to be an 80s pop radio station that I listened to, but even with all of the material that is out there they ended up playing the same things over and over. Recently, I've heard a few songs on a "we'll play any music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s" station that I've enjoyed immensely and had never heard before. I looked them up and it seems that at their time of release they were fairly well known (they all seem to have entered the Billboard 100 charts at some point, or were much bigger in England) but because they weren't top 20 hits in USA they don't get much radio play on mix stations anymore and were never on that 80s station. So I'm wondering if any of you guys have any favorite pop singles that were not top ten in the US but were still pretty big. Here are some examples of stuff I've liked, if it helps: The Red Rockers- China http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmevO2V2JxA Kristy Maccoll- A New England http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fwtFSEovro Freur- Doot Doot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pnQfPOFNLI Icicle Works- Whisper to a Scream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIxgHu5U1v4 If not, is there a free database somewhere of random billboard charts throughout the 80s? Most of the lists I have found are just the number ones. EDIT: Holy crap, after making this post I was just about to go into the help me identify a song megathread and ask for an 80s song that featured the lyrics "Runaway" a lot in the chorus since I wanted to mention it in this post. I knew I'd recognize the title if I saw it, and sure enoguh it was posted in the post above this one, Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat. Thanks! (I'll check out the other songs since they might apply to my request as well) Superrodan fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Oct 26, 2010 |

The lyrics are wonderful (if you can get over the vocoder effect used for most of it), and Sean Reinert is basically a drumming god. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fhVLykF3nU Haken - Relatively new band, released their debut album Aquarius just a few months ago. It's um... basically Dream Theater. There's no escaping the comparison, really. Sounds like them circa Scenes From A Memory, complete with Jordan Rudess' zany keyboard effects/interludes, but with better production. Well worth checking out, anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsJpy84ZiGk Mastodon - Again, there's probably no way you haven't heard of them, but check out Blood Mountain or Leviathan if not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilz-4mtdpOM Edit: Added some tracks from youtube. The Mastodon one is edited down, couple minutes shorter than the studio track. Henry Fungletrumpet fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Oct 26, 2010 |

Electric Light Orchestra - Twilight (I sometimes blare this in the car when I'm coming back from evening classes, and it never fails to put me in a great mood.) OMD - Telegraph Yes - Run to the Light (From that brief, bizarre period where The Buggles joined Yes. This is probably their poppiest song—the others lean more toward prog rock.) a-ha - The Sun Always Shines on T.V.

Try (if you haven't already) Hot Chip, Caribou, Klaxons, Filthy Dukes, Ladytron, Metronomy, The Presets, Flairs, Holy gently caress, Health, Soulwax/2manydj's, Sleigh Bells, Phoenix, Lcd Soundsystem, Miike Snow, The Big Pink, Foals, Delphic, We Have Band, These New Puritans, New Young Pony Club, CSS, Ian Brown, Deerhunter, A Place To Bury Strangers, Fenech-Soler. etc, etc. Most listed in this post have some indie/electronic/dance crossover to varying degree's, some will be more like a typical rock band and some will be more electro-pop. Also try looking at some of the festival lineups from the past few years as MGMT and passion Pit tend to play a lot of rock/indie festivals with a lot of similar style bands. All bands i have mentioned have released something in the last 18 months or so so finding their work wont be too hard. Hope you enjoy!

OMD are loving fantastic. Dazzle Ships is one of the best new wave/synth pop albums, but Organisation and the self titled are almost as good. I'm sure you've heard New Order, but if you haven't listen to any of their singles from the 80s (the 90s stuff ain't bad, its just less catchy). The Thompson Twins and Heaven 17 are two groups that tend to get over looked when people talk about 80s pop, also good stuff.

As far as his pop songs, that a side of him I've not explored too thoroughly. You'll definitely want to check out the rest of Crises. And Man in the Rain off Tubular Bells III is in a similar vein as Moonlight Shadow/To France, but his instrumental progressive rock albums are his best work. Tubular Bells is iconic, but Ommadawn is probably my favorite of his works.

I'm looking for metal music that has qualities that are normally found in trance music. I'm not so much looking for actual trance elements, like melodic synth lines and downbeat kick drums, but more the emotional response that trance music tends to incite - the dream-like, time stretching, never ending mood. Any suggestions?
