Link to original post: [drupal=2478]Think. Music.[/drupal]



So lately (since school started) I've been thinking almost constantly. I don't leave myself hardly anytime to just sit there and relax.

Now, it's not that I think about math and stuff like that, that's easy stuff and that's not what I'm making this for. I think about all the dumb stuff you could possibly think of. Most of it is philosophy stuff and trying to make sense of everything that can't be made sense of, and it drives me crazy. I'll think a certain way and then counter that way of thinking in my head, and just go back and forth until I'm distracted by class etc. or do something like going on SWF.

The only thing I've found to help it and just tone every though out of my head is music. Ok, so music is like the anti-drug or whatever, and I'm really tolerant of most music. All music, really...there isn't much that I don't like, and the things I don't like start to grow on me.

So, name music recommendations. Anything and everything. Song title and artist please.

Talk Talk's Laughing Stock- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXrKu6xyHnk

I know I always get carried away when talking about music, but please tell me you've heard the album Feels. I'm not a fan of indie, and even I admit that this is easily one of the best albums of the decade. I find it funny that I use to listen to this album and think of how drone it sounded, when now I think of it as hyper and full of life. I can remember exactly what it sounded like the first time I heard it, and its nothing like what it sounds like now. I mean, I find this song so romantic, and it is, but only this singer could make the line "Kill me, **** me, hang the babies at the hospital sound romantic."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXfwc0RDHBQ

Just 2 more albums, and then I'll stop before I flood your profile page with music suggestions xD
Thesemight be indie too, hell, nearly everything gets called indie, so I'm not sure what isn't indie
Jana Hunter- There Is No Home
http://www.last.fm/music/Jana+Hunter...+Home/Vultures

The Long Lost- Self Titled album
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=easqXAhnVzA

Okay, I think I'll go take out my music recommendations on my twitter now hahahaha. Sorry, I love music too much, I get carried away a lot :3

Hahahahaha, I laughed so hard, not because of the band per say, but because of the irony I saw.
They are named Mother Mother, and are the exact opposite of a band I listen to (they might be indie?) called Man Man.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLaVZNLgYvE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-E96HDW7mI

I'll download an album of Mother Mother. The background music on the first track was quite good. I just have to see if the vocalist gets to me. That takes time for me to tell.

Ooh, me likey.

You seem like you're really into sound, so I'll also recommend Mother Mother. They're very interesting to listen to, just in terms of their vocals. Though I feel I should warn you, they're definitely not for everyone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBAoLoxJ32Q
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMw1CjD5cY0
Oh, I just remembered one Indie band I really loved. You familiar with The Octopus Project? Its a mix between indie and more experimental electronic. They mix live drums with electronic drums, and they get this really cool sound because of it. There live drummer plays very straight beats, but his style is so chaotic, its wonderful to watch him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0USeG4Go9L8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNrnx-uaXsU

Feist has two other albums that I know of, one is Monarch, and the other is Let It Die. I really enjoyed Let It Die, and I would recommend giving it a listen sometime. Monarch is her first album, which isn't to say that it's not good, but it's a bit unpolished.

Broken Social Scene is pretty good. I'm not really sure what kind of music you're into, but I usually listen to them when I'm studying. They have a bunch of videos on Youtube. Here's a couple:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiSBAykx9vA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uev2J_cBHjQ

If you like Feist and Broken Social Scene, you probably (might?) enjoy Stars. They're one of my favourite bands ever. Here's a sampling:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v8FJhQ-teE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxeIivNDtFU

I'ma stop before I get carried away.

STEP 2-

20 Essential Albums- These are albums I think everyone would enjoy or that everyone should hear, though I kept in mind that this was for someone who was a fan of Gorillaz and Coldplay.

Now to continue with my list.

Talk Talk's Laughing Stock- Founded an entire genre of music called Post-rock, and was the last album of a band who gradually morphed from an electro 80s pop band to a band that took music very seriously.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9HsGsB-MCM

Animal Collective's Feels- band of the decade giving their most heartfelt album. The entire album is played out of tune, though in tune together.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXfwc0RDHBQ

Flying Lotus's Los Angeles- Regarded as one of the best alternative hip-hop albums
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXMk5a3EW9o&feature=related

Madvillain's Madvillany- Regarded as one of the most important hip-hop albums to the decade
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewc1hixzYPY

Portishead's Third- Trip-hop (its nothing like hip-hop) at its best
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCmB1oSueIo

Venetian Snares's Chocolate Wheel Chair Album OR Rossz Csillag Alatt Született- Both are great examples of a new genre that was made valid in this decade by the artist Venetian Snares, the genre is called Breakcore
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nJFRJkqhhA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PBeKzVhWHY


Geinoh Yamashirogumi's Akira Soundtrack- One of the first combinations of old classical techniques with modern day electronical devices that defines classical music today. It was made by hundreds of people, none of who are professional musicans, making their own synths to get the sounds they wanted.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz1YUaKRsTE

Dan Deacon's Spiderman of the Rings- the album that brought the world the Future Shock that is the Baltimore music scene. Though originally intended as a half spoof of House music, the album has become one of the most successful house albums of all time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFlBJ1xZK10

Dan Deacon's Bromst- Yes, its two albums by the same man, BUT, Bromst is a completly different beast, important to a completely different musical genre. Bromst is Dan Deacon's classical album, and is fused with elements from indie pop to jungle percussion to turntables scratching his own voice. While Spiderman of the Rings brought the world's attention to Dan Deacon, Bromst has offered an exciting new look on music, void of most of the forms and genres we know today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ysUbo4bED4


Kid Koala's Some of my Best Friends are DJs- Kid Koala is a prolific DJ, who requires that every sound on his music must be altered by him in some way. You'll find no loops, no tradtional breaks, none of the things you probably hate about DJing in this album. Instead, you'll find a DJ who can alter pitches to his liking, truly proving that the turntables are indeed an instrument.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F38xj4STA8k

Lykke Li's Youth Novels- Not really sure if you are into Chick Pop, but Lykke Li is on the verge of going huge. Her music is simple, and simply beautiful. In contrast to the overcrowded music we have today where there are nearly random things trying to keep the listener entertained, Lykke Li makes simply music, usually comprising of no more than 2 or 3 instruments at a time. Her music is a refreshing change in the world of pop, and one that I welcome.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdZLiORITBg

Damon Albarn's Monkey- from the composer of Gorillaz comes, you guessed it, a Chinese Circus album that has actually hit the charts. Though, make no mistake, no album in the world sounds like this. A mixture of chinese styles, rock instruments, odd modern synths playing oriental scales, and various Chinese opera singers, this is an opera unlike any other, and represents the attempt to bridge the Easter Cultures and the Western as will be needed in the years to come.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rqEoDO98cg


Philip Glass's Glass Box: A Nonesuch Retrospective- 40 years of work, complied into one collection. Not just 40 years of music, but 40 years of changing American classical music, and American music as we know it today. From Grand Theft Auto 4 and The Watchment to art house films and Seaseme Street, Philip Glass has been a vivid part of American life, weather or not the American public aware. In opposition to the noise based music that was alinanting listeners during his times, Philip Glass constructed music in its simplest form, aiming not for complexity, but beauty. These are the days my friend, the days of Philip Glass.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_55qMExFs00&feature=related

Boredoms's Vision Creation Newsun!- Let's take a moment to look at Japanese music. On the surface, the pop scene is about as horribly pop as they get. Yet, brewing underneath that bublegum pop exterior is the soul of one of the most creative musical fields of all time. Boredoms is on the fore front of this movement, creating long epic noise punk pieces as energetic as an escaped convict. Noise taken too such an extreme, you might not even want to call it noise, but rather pure fun.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sPxde77NRE

Mono's Burial At Sea- Across from the noise scene in Japan, we have a large melodic post rock movement, most notably Mono. While Boredoms strive to create energetic songs, Mono strives for beauty, for using the distortian on guitars not for noise, but for melody. Mono's slow building songs, epic climaxes, and use of orchestra techniques has come to identefiy modern day Post-rock, despite it originally being jazz based when Talk Talk first made Laughing Stock.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_MAUURz-LE

Gorillaz's Demon Days- Originally crafted as an idea to make fun of manufactured band, when they discovered that the album sold well enough, Damon Albarn (the composer) and Jamie Hewlet (the animator) begain to take the project more seriously. From this came Demon Days. Featuring trip-hop founder Martina Topley-Bird, dub star Roots Manuva, west coast hip-hop legend De La Soul, Producer Dangermouse most known for Gnarles Barkley, New York rapper MF DOOM, and the final apperance of founder of rock and roll Ike Turner before his death, the collaborations are enough to make this an important album, but beyond that, it was the first sight that the main stream got of the alternative hip-hop scene that was brewing. Its odd glitchy tech sound mixed with nearly all other aspects that make this album arguably the most important of the decade.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1omZGASyFmc

Natalie Rose Lebrecht's Warraw- This is a very little known album, but I highly recomend it to anyone. Its an anti-folk album, or whatever you want to call it. you can't find it at a record store, so I'll include a link for it if you PM me. Its very, very depressing, but very, very beautiful.

Tosca Tango Orchestra's Waking Life Soundtrack- Tango life you've never heard before, beautiful stuff, very dream like and wavy, I'm getting tired of writing these.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpWVJwFDDzA

OCDJ- HOORAY- Its like if someone ran into the hood, painted everything rainbow, gave out free ice cream cones, and everyone got WAY to into it. Have patience with this song, it ends up very different than what you will expect, trust me. ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CByNKA3w8g
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRAMLyykk7U

Camille's Le Sac Des Filles- Girl sung that song on that Ratatoule movie, yep. So tired of typing.

Now for those lovers of Drum and Bass music-

-I need good techno moosix D: Ideas?
Yesz! I can help.
First, my post whenever this pops up to get people educated about it.

The distinctive styles in a nut shell:

Jungle = rolling breaks like the Amen
Hardstep = pretty much everything that came out of True Playaz (DJ Zinc, Dope Skillz, Pascal, Hype) during the early to mid-nineties
Liquid funk = calmer moods and ambient samples, often with big basslines
Intelligent dnb = very calm, ambient drum and bass; easy listening
Neurofunk = heavy breaks, cold atmosphere and synth stabs
Techstep = Influenced by techno, it's another cold style pioneered by Ed Ruch & Optical and Trace
Darkstep = Long, ominous ambient pads that lead to violent, erratic breakbeats like the Amen. Check out 'Timeline' Evol Intent
Breakcore = it's sort of a genre in its own right, the breakbeats are very fast and complex.

Clownstep styles:
Jazzstep = jazz with an 175bpm breakbeat. Double bass samples are usually used. Check out 'Tough At The Top' by E-Z Rollers
Sambass = 'Brazilian dnb'; Latin-American influenced
Trancestep = I have nooooo idea. From what i've heard, it's eurotrash, dnb and trance rolled into one
Raggacore = somewhere between ragga jungle and breakcore
Darkcore = similar to darkstep but with more horror movie samples
Techno dnb = jungle with an 808 drum machine. Check out 'Vessel' by Universal Project
Ragga jungle = Jamaican sample or vocals and more reggae influenced

As for the music today, I have to say that I think the following are some of the biggest leaders, and I recommend any and all of them. Though, a few of these I think are not DnB, and just electronic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-jmEyV5YMQ

These are my recomendations off the bat. Let me know if you need more! Plenty more where this came from.

What you are thinking of is called House.

This is the kind of thing you are into:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xUpW0nHLnI (listen to at least the first half before making a decision)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFlBJ1xZK10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P81dHaZiyA8

And I think you also like Trance, which is like house in that they both gradually build, but trance is softer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPOJ6XN4-jk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB03w7wU2V0

Also, based on those songs, I think you'd love the record SiCK MUSIC, its definitely one of my favorites of the year, here are a few samples:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trd9V34CiFc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4p-KsNmqF0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQdgdMMO0hE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjyg--atHxY

Alright, something you should know if you are going to get into techno music. This is the style that most techno dance songs fit into:

1 Into, then a pause or a very quick build into the
2 Break- its the pay off
3 Release (don't know the technical name for this spot, but its that spot that just leaves you dizzy and waiting for the next break, this is more for the DJs to mix in the next track)
4- Break 2
5- outro

Here is a good internet tv station dedicated to Techno, manily the DnB side of it.
http://breakbeat.co.uk/dnbtv/watch/...ngs_show_loxy_ink_june_miller_data_anile.aspx

Also, if you love heavy basslines, then you'll LOVE dubstep, its all about those bass lines that tear your speakers up

Mad rush, a song about someone trying to do something great, and being stopped. A comment on the video reads

This piece reminds me of a girl I knew 20 years ago (40 now). I never told her I loved her. She invited me home, but I was convinced I had no chance and said no. No regrets. Still, her memory returns every now and then. Her beauty in all aspects are almost tangible then. The returning thoughts resemble the pattern in this music. They vary, but are always sincere, deep and tender. I hope they will be with me, in thoughts and sound, when I pass away. I am glad to have known such beauty in my life.
This is the ironic beauty that Philip Glass is able to capture.

Satyagraha, arguably his most approachable work, discusses the work of Ghandi in South Africa, and how he landed the foundations for nonviolent political movements that are still used around the world today.
