ConMoon posted:I really dug De La Soul's 3 Feet High And Rising. Are there any other De La must-haves? Buhloone Mind State is a fantastic album and definitely shouldn't be overlooked. It's got some of their best songs - Eye Patch, Patti Dooke, Breakadawn, I Am I Be, and more. In my opinion I Am I Be is one of the best rap tracks from the 90's. Stakes is High is also pretty good. me your dad fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Aug 9, 2009 |

I don't know if this will make sense because I don't have any examples but I like songs that build and build and build on a riff you'd expect to suddenly break into something else but never does. They just keep building up to nothing. Sort of like what Lightning Bolt does from time to time but I'm not necessarily looking for something aggressive. It can be any type of music. Any thoughts?

Way Past Cool! posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg5D-CqDoI8 Thanks for the reccommendations. Spacemen 3 was a little heavy on the drone side but I liked it. I've listened to Spiritualized for years but never investigated Spacemen 3 even though I was aware of them. The Melvins track was good as well  Full Circle posted:End of the Road by IM has a perfect example this from 2:30 to 3:40. I think the reason I like the never ending buildup is from listening to electronic music. I used to love Plastikman's Sheet One album and the way it had this weird, constant beat that never escalated. It's easy to get lost in and I love it.

Bill Posters posted:If you like the Earl Scruggs stuff then you should definitely check out Steve Martin's (yes that Steve Martin) recent album The Crow. It's a great album of old school bluegrass banjo tunes with Scruggs himself getting a guest spot on at least one song. Are you familiar with Drive-By Truckers? If not, you may want to check them out for the alt-country thing. Maybe give Ween's 12 Golden Country Greats a shot too since you're looking for a group with a sense of humor. me your dad fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Apr 10, 2010 |

Yellow Rhymer posted:I'm looking for some soothing acoustic guitar pieces. I can't think of anything specific to mention, but I just want something relaxing to play in the background while working or reading. I don't know where to start searching though. Your request is a little broad, but give John Fahey a listen for one direction in acoustic instrumental guitar. You can find a lot of his stuff on Grooveshark. He's got a large discography and I've got the following two albums I can recommend: Death Chants, Breakdowns, and Military Waltzes The Great San Bernadino Birthday Party Both are perfect as background music and won't distract from tasks. me your dad fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Jul 6, 2010 |

This may be a long shot but a while back I grabbed an album by Harry Partch and discovered microtonal compositions. Something about the style clicks with me and I'd like to explore more. Wikipedia has a rather lengthy list of composers so I'm not sure where to go from here. The Partch album I have is called "The World of Harry Partch".

rum sodomy the lash posted:Hmm, haven't tried this thread in years so might as well. Right now my top listened to artists are the Clash, Drive-By Truckers, Bob Dylan, The Pogues, Randy Newman, Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, M.I.A., Hank Williams, the Mummies, the Felice Brothers It's sorta a jumble of genres, but I love folk, country, rock, punk, garage, or any fusion of those. I love songwriting that tells... I guess socially conscious stories? Although explicit 60s protest songs are annoying, excluding Dylan who'd I argue never did explicit protest songs. Any ideas? Some things you might like: Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster Leonard Cohen - The Partisan Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad Burning Spear - The Invasion Calexico - Across the Wire Minutemen - This Ain't No Picnic

rum sodomy the lash posted:Thanks for all these. I already love and have Cohen and Springsteen. I like the Stiff Little Fingers song, I'll make sure to get some of them, but I really, really love that Calexico song. The thing is, I've tried them out before, I have the album Carried to Dust, and while I loved the instrumentals and really, the sound in general, I can't stand the vocals when spoken in English. I don't know how to describe it, but I hate that kind of soft... whispery singing the guy does. Is there an album where that is less dominant? Or maybe an album more directly focused on Mexican and country instead of latin music in general. Are you looking for more Calexico with those qualities, or a different band with a similar sound? The whispery singing will still be there on certain tracks, but I really prefer Calexico's live recordings over the studio albums. If you search for them on Archive.org's live music database there's an album called Live at China Theater on 2003-04-25. You can stream it from there. The sound quality is phenomenal and there are several standout tracks: Pepita, Guerro Canelo, Sunken Waltz, and their covers of Alone Again Or and Corona. There's an instrumental band called Friends of Dean Martinez that has a fairly similar style, albeit a bit lazier and stoned sounding. I've only ever owned one album (Atardecer) so my knowledge isn't broad. But I can recommend checking that album out on Grooveshark and maybe there are others you'd like.

crazyfish posted:I'm looking for more spacey late 60s/early 70s kind of psychedelic/krautrock. Think long, spacey, free-improv kind of jams. Stuff along the lines of Ash Ra Tempel, Gam, No-Neck Blues Band, and ZeN (the Turkish band, I think there might be more than one by that name). It doesn't have to be from this specific era but I included a date range to give more of an idea about what I'm looking for. Is this the same Gam from Savannah GA who did Thunderbomb, Beer Planet, and the Phase 8 album?

PoisonedV posted:What are some suggestions for the type of soul like in Bewildered by James Brown? (and obviously a fair amount of other songs like his.) I listen to a fair amount of Mo-Town and now James Brown kick and the like but it's usually more on the upbeat and funky side. The Numero Group put out various soul label compilations called Eccentric Soul. They're compilations from old soul labels featuring a variety of groups. I'd recommend previewing them to find the sound you like. Some of the stuff is upbeat, but there is plenty features slower stuff. Eccentric Soul And something like this in particular might be similar to what you're after. Dusty Groove is a good online record shop with all sorts of soul, jazz, and funk. It may be worth digging around on there a bit as well. Also, some Otis Redding might float your boat. me your dad fucked around with this message at 13:11 on May 13, 2011 |

How dreadful! posted:Where do I start with Sun Ra? The only jazz I've listened to is Kind of Blue and Time Out. Should I stick with more traditional things before I venture into his territory? There aren't any rules about what you should and shouldn't listen to at any given time. Someone asked about Sun Ra on the page before this one. Besides, I'm pretty sure Sun Ra wrote several songs falling within a more traditional bop sound.

This is a great compilation of New Orleans music. It doesn't look like it's available new anymore, but I'm sure it won't be too tough to track down a used copy. It also doesn't focus singularly on jazz, but neither does the city.
