(I intend to replacing the subwoofer with a more modest solution) 1 Mile North, Arms and Sleepers, Balmorhea, Bell Orchestra, Ben Frost & Daniel Bjarnason, David Newlyn, Deaf Center, Esmerine, Fennesz & Sakamoto, Grails, Halo of Pendor - that's it, for now. My personal favourite at the moment is Peter Broderick - Music for Confluence

Could I get something similar to Bootsy Collins' Shine-o-myte? It's extremely goofy electronic funk. It doesn't matter whether or not it has vocals, but I would appreciate the same retro, lighthearted sound. Sorry if this is too dumb; I don't really know funk very well.

Can someone recommend me music along the lines of Philip Glass's Songs from Liquid Days? This is just such a powerful album, and I don't think I've heard anything else that melds minimalist classical music with pop vocal music quite like this. I haven't listened to a lot of Philip Glass beyond this album, so I don't know if he ever did anything else quite like this either.

Can anyone help the musically challenged? What is the second instrument that comes into play in this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH3ruuml-R4 I'm guessing its an Organ but I'm not really sure. Also any other songs you can recommend that makes good use of that sound would be amazing. I don't know why but I love that sound.

Does anyone have a good introduction to the Asian indie pop scene? I already know My Little Airport (twee is good, if you know any twee it is a definite bonus) and Bad Daughter but I would like to have more. Note: I am not looking for stuff like Girl's Generation so please don't recommend me anything in that k-pop vein.

Recently I've been listening to the album Populuxxe, by Cutting Pink with Knives. I really loved this album, and it's sad they're not around any more because it's rare for me to find artists that encapsulate that rough, energetic indies sound, repetitive sorta jangly melody with screamed lyrics, but that don't go too far into "metal screaming" territory (which I dislike.) In that respect, they remind me a little of my second favorite artists of all time, the defunct Japanese indies group known for energetic live performances Number Girl. (who I also highly recommend to people who think all Japanese music is trite pop/visual poo poo), but I'm having a hard time finding similar music. The closest thing I've found to Cutting Pink With Knives is Rolo Tomassi who seem pretty decent. Any recommendations in a similar vein to Number Girl or Cutting Pink would be really appreciated. Sorry if this request is confusing - I'm no expert at musical stuff so I have no idea how to best explain things other than give video examples of what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any help knowledgeable people can give.

Rollersnake posted:That is indeed an organ—I'd assume a Farfisa. It's much more of a traditional Hammond B3 through leslie rotating speaker sound. The Hammond style is rich and warbly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk3mAX5xdxo or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yLJU6j_YEc while the Farfisa tends to sound much more thin and reedy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeolH-kzx4c or http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=nqnuI9K5ct4#t=91s It's probably the fourth most used rock instrument after guitar, bass, and drums, so it's all over a million recordings. If you're comfortable going outside of the genre, check out Jimmy Smith and Richard "Groove" Holmes for the best B3 playing you'll ever hear in your life.

I'm still in search of artists that are similar to Captain Beefheart. I really enjoy the style Trout Mask Replica and Lick My Decals Off, Baby, but haven't been able to find anything similar to either of them outside of Zappa and Beefheart. Anyone know of anything else that I should check out?

I spent a long time without a decent pair of headphones, and sorta stopped listening to music as a result. Coming back into it, I realize my tastes have shifted somewhat over the years, and a lot of the music I used to listen to is either boring now (because I've played it too much) or just doesn't really jive with me anymore. Anyone wanna help me start building a new music collection? Looking at the music I have now, I still kinda dig Yes, especially Close to the Edge. I like the Beatles but I've heard all their music so much it's not that interesting now. Same for Pink Floyd, and the Shins (though I might like their new album). I also like a lot of jazz and swing music in general, but I don't know where to start with that. I like Kraftwerk's minimalistic style, other electronic music is pretty hit or miss for me though. I guess I like clean, accoustic-ish music the most. The headphones I have right now have pretty good frequency response across the board, and I really like how Yes's classic music comes through strong, sharp and clear on 'em. Heavier music just seems too noisy and confusing for me, but I'll listen to most styles of music if it's good!

If you enjoy the psychedelicy style of The Beatles and Pink Floyd you could try checking out The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Procol Harum, Cream, Country Joe and The Fish, and Moby Grape. As far as jazz/swing style I can't be as helpful without more knowledge of the styles that you enjoy, but some solid artists that never fail to impress are Sun Ra, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, and John Coltrane. Do you have a specific style of jazz that you prefer?

I've got Disraeli Gears, maybe I should explore more Cream, and the rest of those sound like good starting points too. Another thing I'm looking for though is recent acts that sort of fall into the same zone - I ran across Beardfish in the prog rock thread and they're pretty much what I mean, long-form music with balanced and varied sound, but more modern. I don't want to end up thinking that music stopped being good after 1979! Steam Powered Giraffe (you probably haven't heard of them) is another example, their current stuff has a lean but well-constructed sound to it, with a variety of style much like the Beatles, but they're waaaay more current.

Stormcock was an unexpectedly fantastic album. I was one of those people who fell hook line and sinker for the rumor that the vocalist on Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar" was just some random guy who worked at the studio—no, it was Roy Harper, and he made some drat good folk rock. As far as progressive rock with a clean, acoustic sound goes, French-Canadian band Harmonium are pretty awesome. Definitely at least check out Si on Avait Besoin D'une Cinquième Saison.

Having rediscovered Sigur Ros a month ago and watching We Bought A Zoo this evening, I realised that I have a craving for more such music. I already know the Sigur Ros frontman has his own project as Jónsi. I don't know all that much about music. Hell, I don't even know what to call the genre.

I already know the Sigur Ros frontman has his own project as Jónsi. I don't know all that much about music. Hell, I don't even know what to call the genre. They're labeled as post-rock, but I'd differ with this classification, especially taking into account their latest album (+ Jónsi's "solo" work). The best bet to find music similar to Sigur Rós is within Iceland: Amiina (which for some time was a supporting group for Sigur Rós), Ólafur Arnalds, Stafrænn Hákon, Múm. Additionaly I'd recommend Ef, The Album Leaf and Álfheimr. As such there's lots of bands playing post-rock, but none implementing Jónsi's vocals (well - on the other hand this is a gimmick of Sigur, and even Alfheimr, though trying to find it's own voice, is pushing my buttons because of this) - if you're interested, you can take a look at some similar (post rock) groups, to name a few: Yndi Halda, Eluvium, Esmerine, Tracer AMC, Deaf Center, Helios, Hands of Templar, Immanu El, James Blackshaw, Her Name Is Calla. foastwab posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSfncSgAk7E The last time I've listened to Department of Eagles they were playing folk (but that was in their beginnings[?] at route 61) - as such, thanks for this, as they've definitely improved their repertoire moving towards folktronica. Still I'm not good at naming genres, so off to similar: Bowerbirds, Dirty Projectors (but that's more along Animal Collective...), The Dodos, Fleet Foxes?
