The first ~20 seconds of Losing Touch by Empathy Test (that then repeat throughout the song) really sound like some other song. I want to say it's 80s synthpop along the lines of early Depeche Mode or something like that. I can hear the original in my head, it's not exactly this but real loving close except slightly faster, and I can't figure out what the hell I'm thinking of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeBhDARh4Cc

Ugh, heard a great instrumental orchestral song on my local NPR station and couldn't grab my phone in time to ID it. It sounded very modern and string-heavy, with almost fiddle-like violin playing, some droning strings, mandolin, etc. Lots of pizzicato and players slapping the bodies of their acoustic instruments, but it was super melodic and not at all dissonant.

Kind of more of a "Help me identify this band" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNvwcla16_Y This came up in my Spotify Discover Weekly. I see one album from 1990 on Spotify, then three apparently new singles from 2017-2018. Does anyone have any info on this band? All I found so far was this Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/thecryofficial/?hl=en Which is listed on their Spotify profile. It looks like they just randomly picked music back up after almost 30 years. I'm suddenly super curious about their story.

They came out of that 80s skate scene and probably only really remembered because they had a couple of tracks on H-Street's Hokus Pokus video and the Life video. San Diego based which explains the link up with H-Street I imagine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bItPSRQXwQw&t=1844s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C2T3EZAt-E&t=237s And recently re-used in Dane Brady's part in that Polar vid which I guess sparked some interested in them again. Apparently been in the studio over the past few years, and that one album from '90 is supposed to be due to be reissued on vinyl at some point too, which is great because good luck trying to find a copy of the original cassette.

I actually did skate as a kid, but it was the mid 90's in South Carolina. All the skaters here were grunge fans haha. Thanks for the info. I figured somebody would know!

There's Banned from Argo, from 1977, and of course Voltaire's 2001 EP Banned on Vulcan. (He did a longer Star Trek & Star Wars etc themed album more recently, too.) I'm sure there are others.

SUCCESS: https://robotscience.bandcamp.com/album/square OK, a hard one. Goon EP from mid 00s with electronic synth ambient feel. Highly rhythmic, first track on the EP begins with a sine wave instrument. I remember it being one of his/her first works and it was well recieved. Been searching for an hour or so, looked through the archives of NMD but it didn't jump out at me. Any ideas? edit: similar sound https://beaunoise.bandcamp.com/track/7-math-random-8-5 edit edit: it may have been on GBS... whsa fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Mar 2, 2019 |

The following two pieces of soundtrack music have similar melodies: "A Wonderful Thing" by Richard Wells, used in the TV show Being Human (big spoilers in the comments, so be aware, I guess) "19th Century Girl" by Steve Wilson, used in the TV show Monty Don's Italian Gardens Is there a public-domain classical piece they're derived from? If so, what is it?

Does anyone know the song that keeps saying "You'll never steal my sun" or "you won't steal my sun" but it sounds like it's someone's dad saying "steal my son?" Another line was "dim my light"

Maybe "The Light" (just that little swell at the beginning), or the song from Koyannisqattsi that they reused in The Watchmen? I'm not even a huge PG fan and I thought the same thing as you.

There’s this popular British electronic song from around 2000 that has the same bassline as Alicia Keyes “This Girl Is On Fire.” It’s not Bomfunk MCs “Freestyler.”

I was out at a Fatburger when I heard this song that's struck me as sounding like it came from a Sega Genesis. I assume it's from the last several years. A fairly synth-y, repetitive, driven, late 80's throwback with a clear piano hook. Had lyrics I could not discern, but probably about relationship malaise. Vocalist was like if you took all the sharp corners off of Sufjan Stevens.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KUER9yBZlNz20f1KOFTIckwCA2dESAY7/view?usp=sharing Past me was a moron. Unknown Artist, Unknown Album, "Track 4", it's an mp3 that was created on 6/30/2008. I would like to find out what the heck it is, but as it's just instrumentals with lovely guitars, I don't even know where to begin. I don't know if I downloaded it randomly off the internet, or ripped it from a CD or what, so... help?

He saved the track, and it's from Ioannis Anastassakis' Suspension of Disbelief album. Next time he visits I'm going to tell him to actually name the mp3s he rips.

I haven't heard anything of his from the past few years, but what you're describing reminds me of this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-1HNnxb0WE Don't think it's this song in particular, but worth a look around his other stuff And if this still isn't melodic enough, maybe try Bibio? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx9_FIIH-UM But again, almost certainly not this song in particular Allyn fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Mar 17, 2019 |

got two Four in the floor dance music, but with accordion. The accordion seemed like it was actually performed by a person. Was at a bar and other tunes on the station were Moby, Massive Attack, etc. The harder one: somewhat dance music, but not four on the floor. Bartender said the beat was from Drop The Game by Floom, but I'm not so sure I agree with that (I also don't really know that song or even band, so maybe?). Had trumpet and maybe sax, and reminded me of moody cityscapes. Was on a playlist with organ/soul jazz, Nina Simone, etc.
