KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:My dad is a classical aficionado with enough CDs to start a store, literally. I have never bought him a classical CD as a gift, but these Immortal Performances recordings intrigue me. I don't think he has any of them. Are there any that are especially notable and worth buying? Historical performances are kind of a niche and it may be worth asking if he likes them. They're generally for people into like, legendary conductors from the first half of the 1900s who don't have much in terms of high quality studio recordings. Also a lot of these are almost certainly public domain and have been released a million times, like anything by Furtwangler or Mengelberg. e) the Tristan with Flagstead/Melchior is probably a great gift if your dad likes historical recordings though Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Nov 10, 2021 |

I have a strong preference towards Bel canto operas and am not a fan of Richard Strauss so that would inform my decisions.

This song randomly popped up on suggestions on youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_Bq4MoS7r4 and I'm looking for more like it. The title says "femme darkwave" so I've been using that as a search, but it tends to bring up a lot of stuff like the Cure which I find to be too plodding/slow paced for me. Thanks for anyone who can help!

that 2 8 1 4 album is cool, thank you. Definitely mainly focused on more of an ambient vibe I noticed a lot of the same spacing, is that some vaporwave thing? like 2 8 1 4 same thing on the hallmark '87 album https://hallmark87.bandcamp.com/album/a-t-r-i-u-m

Dicogs.com has a very nice marketplace for used CDs and Vinyl. Since CDs are so out of fashion they tend to be pretty drat cheap as well

Beeswax posted:Dicogs.com has a very nice marketplace for used CDs and Vinyl. Since CDs are so out of fashion they tend to be pretty drat cheap as well If you’re ok with buying used, eBay is ok. Do you have a used book store near you? My local one has a huge music section, and I’ve seen other similar ones do the same. If you’re buying new, Bandcamp is to the best of my knowledge one of the best music platforms in terms of paying the artist the most to distribute their digital and physical media. The bands that I follow sell the same merch that you’d see at a show through their bandcamp pages. But as a platform it can be extremely niche.

actionjackson posted:I just discovered vaporwave, and I enjoy feeling like I'm in a giant mall in 1987 Besides Macintosh Plus, I've dug most things Vektroid has done. She rocks. This is the album I've given the most listens lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksQ14kiwVaY Saint Pepsi was mentioned, and yeah, I've always thought of him as more future funk, or whatever you want to call the offshoot--but I started listening to him the same time I discovered vaporwave, so it's always been kind of associated in my mind. Hit Vibes is a fantastic album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r2zleGxv7w. And in general Enjoy Yourself and Private Caller are a couple of my favourite individual tracks. I always have a hard time figuring out what is strictly vaporwave. Like, does Macross 82-99, Yung Bae, or Flamingosis count?

vaporwave casts a wide net, drawing from japanese pop and funk, 70s black soul, 80s yacht rock, 90s world, and probably more i'm not mentioning. i don't think there's any one definition based on music style that really defines it -- even from a conceptual standpoint there are differences; some vaporwave tends towards creating a dark caricature of mall music that exaggerates the soulless hunger of western capitalism, others put a hazy gloss on funk to bring that sense of technicolor psychedelia to it, and others create a sense of chopped together vignettes of 80s life through news/tv/commercial snippets. its all pretty cool stuff, but hard to pin down into a defining style

SpiritualDeath posted:My man! The Chameleons are my favorite band of all-time, so I have plenty of suggestions (you likely already know at least the first few but it doesn't hurt to make sure you haven't missed them). The songs get less obviously similar the further down the list you go, but if you're anything like me you'll probably enjoy them anyway. A lot of this was really great, thank you for this playlist, I hadn't checked the thread in a while so this was a treat.

Yeah I got sort of into Vaporwave last summer when I also sort of got into City Pop so the Vaporwave artists that appealed to me the most were the ones sampling City Pop. Yung Bae and Night Tempo are two of my favorites, I tended to like lots of artists on Neon City Records. Waterfront Dining was another really good one.

Just been on a Stereolab binge over the past month. Their discography really speaks to me, I've especially loved Emperor Tomato Ketchup, Mars Audiac Quintet and especially Dots and Loops. Any bands with a similar vibe and use of instrumentation? Just any similar bands really.

I just spent a few days listening to them last month and that most recent album is jams. Especially Outer Bongolia. I think you'd really like Chris Joss if you like Stereolab that much. His stuff is a little more 70s action movie groove, but it's all got that same shag carpet and naugahyde sound that Stereolab does. Vocals are not prominent. Stereophonic Overdubs and Misphonia are good, You've Been Spiked is really funky, and Sticks is more laid back and has the most similar sound to Stereolab I think. Thievery Corporation has a pretty wide range of sound, most of it pretty loungy. So here and there throughout pretty much every album there's a handful of tracks with a chill female vocalist and a 4-5 piece instrument section sound. But they're also so heavy on reggae and dub that it's present everywhere in every album. If you like that, cool, but picking out songs in their catalog that all follow one specific thread takes a bit of work.

Roll the dice with some random artists on Windham Hill records. Maybe start with Shadowfax. They can do sleepy as well as anyone.

Looking for more music along these lines, which I can best describe as "late night hip-hop" - downtempo, sparse, a bit dreamy, kinda bleak. I'm already familiar with a lot of lo-fi, instrumental hip-hop so preferably something from outside of that subgenre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c8N0uUp5kM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6kesQvb0gk&t=21s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkRMuzMC4kQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pruvP5jLQxk Blurred fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Nov 20, 2021 |

Have you checked out Burial’s Untrue? It definitely checks the sparse, bleak, instrumental boxes.

I'm looking for more of that "New Jersey Sound" Style, Driving guitars lots of melody group vocals songs about love and loss. Modern takes on like Heartland Rock, I've heard that War on Drugs dips into this sorta vibe, which albums? Examples Titus Andronicus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08fqHr_KGPY Bruce Springsteen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aESH2f6qi_g Gaslight Anthem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELoNVrEcPjw

War on Drugs are a natural recommendation yeah. They're very Springsteen but very mellow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-oHBkikDBg Also, Jack Antonoff of Bleachers (and just about every top 40 song on the charts) fame is also a big old Springsteen fanboy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQE0TrJbPAk

I've been trying to find music for a morning playlist to get me moving, and I've really found joy in 70s funk and soul. I was listening to a Spotify radio of 360 Degrees of Billy Paul, and "It's A Shame" by The Spinners came on, and that's exactly the vibe I'm interested in. Can people recommend any of their favorite songs or artists which are on the cusp of 70s Funk and R&B? I want something a little livelier than Bloodstone, but stuff more soulful than disco, if that makes sense. Sorry if that's a wishy-washy request, I'm pretty uneducated when it comes to talking about music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoZP18U5VyY

I'd recommend digging through some compilation albums of that era - the major labels like Stax and Atlantic usually release a bunch, though to be fair I'm more well-versed in soul than funk. Here's one that maybe has some lesser known artists since it's regional, should have some songs on it you'd vibe with: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lx6IeC6JR308-PPtwDQ3BQkGqPtALkyYw

I've never really sought out compilations specifically, but that's a really cool way to discover music, especially considering the regional factor you pointed out; I'll have to be more open to seeking those out. I know I said I'm not about Bloodstone, but what kind of Soul do you enjoy? I tend to like more driving, groovy music, but I'd be interested in expanding my palate toward that genre's direction as well.

Sure thing! It all depends on my mood, but I tend to like the "achy" kinda soul. Solomon Burke is a favourite, but also Clarence Carter, James Carr, Joe Tex, Shirley Brown; and of course the big ones: Al Green, Otis Redding, Aretha, Bill Withers, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye. E: Also, a lot of these artists have more high energy stuff later in their careers, so I'll try to dig up some examples later.
