Bluegrass isn't a genre I'd normally even consider but I just checked out "Black and Bluegrass" Bluegrass + Black Sabbath/Ozzy shouldn't work but it's brilliant. Thanks.

I really love Kaskade's the Grand, but beyond that, I'm some what of a house baby. Can anyone give me some progressive/deep house recommendations (or any house in general tbh)?

Xarthor posted:I'm a big fan of female country/folk singers like Lucinda Willaims and Gillian Welch As for Patsy, she was a primarily singles driven artist, so any given Greatest Hits compilation is going to have more or less what you're looking for. Dolly was initially the duet partner of Porter Wagoner, so most of her early career is gonna be covered as part of his, "Just The Two Of Us" is a great album to get in that vein, but it should be noted that she was always a part of the Nashville hit machine, so her work is gonna lack the "grit" (for lack of a better word) that Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch have. Less dirt, more rhinestones. Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn and Emmylou Harris (including her early work with Gram Parsons on his solo albums) are all fantastic artists to start with whose careers made Lucinda & Gillian's possible.

I'm looking for good Chinese bands. For those of you who haven't studied Mandarin or Chinese culture, their music scene is virtually devoid of anything resembling "good". It's an ocean of terrible, trite pop and even worse rap. They have an odd definition of "rock", with the leading man being Xie Tian Xiao and Cold Blooded Animal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_qJK5UqmHA That's a pretty good example. Alot of his stuff also features classical Chinese instruments, though for some unknown reason he decided to make his last album a Reggae album. One really great band I've found is P.K. 14, a post-punk group from Shanghai. This is my personal favorite of theirs. The video is done like an old black and white silent film, with them as Chinese military. Very tongue in cheek. 他们 - In English:"Them" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kXDKACzCX0 If anybody knows any other good bands, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I've been playing the crap out of the new Caribou album, Swim, trying to get into it. In general I like the song ideas, but I find it really hard to enjoy music a lot when it's not high-energy :/ So basically, any suggestions for peppier stuff in the vein of that album? EDIT: If it helps, I turned the volume to max on that album and it instantly clicked with me. SpiritualDeath fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Apr 23, 2010 |

I would suggest "To Record Only Water For 10 Days". After that album, John's music has gotten a bit more reserved and slightly heavier produced. But honestly, every single album he's put out has tons of brilliant and heartmelting songs. I don't really know about other lo-fi artists who don't play death metal or plain folk though, sorry!

Does anyone know any stuff that has lightish instrumental music over hip-hop drum beats? I don't know if it's a specific genre, but a couple of examples are Matt Marque's songs, which I just love, and also the backing music from this random Youtube video I stumbled across recently (sorry about the added religion).

I could go for something like either Kenna or K'naan. Not necessarily both at the same time. If you're looking for more specific song examples, I'd say New Sacred Cow for the former and ABCs or Take A Minute for the latter.

This genre is called Downtempo [Breakbeats] AKA Chillout AKA Instrumental Hip Hop AKA Future Lounge AKA the genre used on Adult Swim bumps... you also might want to check out Trip-Hop, Nu-Jazz and Ambient Breaks as they're all pretty similar. A few artists to check out are Wagon Christ, DJ Spooky, RJD2, Air, DJ Shadow, Air, Nightmares on Wax and Dabrye, along with pretty much the entire Ninja Tune roster - The Cinematic Orchestra, Jaga Jazzist, Bonobo, Funki Porcini, Skalpel and DJ Food are my favorites (along with Amon Tobin but he does a lot of high-tempo drum and bass type stuff too). I used to spin this stuff so send me a PM if you need more.

Really looking for bands or songs with a sound like Amenra in their album Mass III (The Pain It Is Shapeless and Nemelendelle are the sort of tracks I like). I've tried listening to a lot of bands that are supposed to be in the same genre but they don't really sound the same.

I'm a big fan of electropop/progressive house/breakbeat/downtempo stuff, and I'm looking to expand my repatoire. some of my current favorites include: -MSTRKRFT -Danger -Deadmea5 -Junior Boys -The Toxic Avengers I know it's a pretty wide net I'm casting here but I think the common thread is loud, overpowering synth useage and a bit on the repetitive side (good for long runs or sex). If you can think of anything that follows the along these lines give me some reccomendations.

Looking for something very New Agey, similar to Enigma, but more along the lines of the seductive, minor-key style of I Love You I'll Kill You or Gravity of Love. I don't like those happy "listening to Enya at sunrise" styles like Return to Innocence. Similar, that I know of are Blue Stone, Delerium, Conjure One, Achillia, Jens Gad, and Sleepthief.

Close to the Edge, Fragile, Tales Of A Topographic Ocean. My favorite thing to listen to on vinyl and the only reason I have my record player hooked up, is Dire Straits self titled.

Way down Hadestown from Anais Mitchell's folk opera Hadestown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDqBzuh-DIg this is the title track. The whole thing is fantastic though. Its the story of Orpheus and Eurydice set in post-apocalyptic Depression-era America.

Not sure how I forgot about this thread, but it did me good last time so... Looking for specific types of band or album recommendations in two unrelated genres. 1) Industrial rock/Industrial metal: Specifically, something like Puncture, here's some youtubes in the unlikely event anyone's heard of them. "Gag Rule" "Nailed to a Cross" Baring that, I'd be looking for something along the lines of "Teknowhore"-era Bile as opposed to their slower, newer stuff. I'm looking specifically for this raspy sort of vocals with coherently dysphoric lyrics (key word is coherent, because most industrial i've found on my own has very lovely lyrics). 2) 'Trap Musik'-style gangsta rap: Rap specifically about 'trappin' (i.e. selling crack or heroin), like Young Jeezy's "J.E.E.Z.Y" or 'White Girl", etc. Screwed and Chopped versions are even better. (yes, i have poo poo tastes, but i like what i like  )

This is practically a month ago and you've already had most of the best suggestions, but in case you're still around, you might also like Annie, Ellie Goulding, Lights, and possibly Dragonette and some Marina and the Diamonds songs?

This is more of a "what genre is this?" kind of question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msg8ypnLqaw - Paradise Lunch's Gun's Roses[sic] I want to say Jazz or some mutant form of big band but I'm just wanting to find more artists like this.

I've looked into Flairs' other stuff and it generally doesn't sound much like this. In fact I'd settle for knowing what style it might fit into. Just gonna bump this and add that I also like the bass guitar in DVNO by Justice, starting at about 3:25 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nWnLxYzuBE Mind you I'm not looking for techno-y stuff.
