It was great. Bonobo's stage presence was pretty much just him hitting keys on a laptop but the music was good. Kid Koala had a huge projection behind him of his hands on the turntables and it was impressive just watching him do his thing. Amon Tobin was also fantastic. He closed his set with a crazy deconstruction of Slayer's "Angel of Death" or "Raining Blood" or both. I just remember being blown away by it.

I wanted a pleasant atmosphere on this sunny Sunday morning, so I've been listening to this compilation of muzak from the 1930s to the early 60s. If you told me 15 years ago that I would one day be listening to this stuff for my own enjoyment, I would have called you insane.
I was listening to the radio and heard a song that was like a transportation back to 2002.

A very apt description of the feeling it gives :laughing: If it's not my favorite song from 2022, then it's in the top 3 I'd say. An absolutely excellent tune.
I'm big into that poppy yet bittersweet and celebratory house music - the vibe that Fred Again song has. If you haven't checked them out before, you should listen to some of the stuff that KREAM does. It gives me the same vibes. They have this set of mixes they do called 'Liquid Lab' - the amount of work they put into them is impressive, and the details are meticulous. Here's an excerpt/mashup from one of their recent Liquid Lab mixes - the way they utilize the vocals from Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition" and sample the echoed vocals from M83's "Midnight City" is just pristine:
Here's the entire set that the mashup is taken from - it can be heard about 12:30 into the video. I'd love for Fred Again to tour with KREAM - that would be an absolutely immense show:
Thank you mate I will get on it.
Finally a new song that I like 😊

^ No way, I saw those guys live recently!
One of my favorite minimal ambient compilations is John Foxx and Harold Budd's Nighthawks, Translucence and Drift Music box set from 2017, and this week I've been revisiting another serene multi-disc set by John Foxx - Cathedral Oceans I + II as well as the later Cathedral Oceans III effort which was issued separately.
I know Foxx released The Arcades Project on 31 March 2023 but I haven't gotten around to that one just yet. I hope it will be just as sparse and ethereal as the others.

This day marks the 40th anniversary of the release of "Weird Al" Yankovic's debut album! I'm celebrating with The Squeeze Box - a limited edition 15 LP box set of Al's entire catalog housed in a full-scale replica of his accordion with "Medium Rarities" bonus disc, turntable slipmat, and 100-page photo book.

"Even Numbers" by Gregor Samsa
I find death metal to be the perfect soundtrack to doing my household chores. It's not catchy enough to divert my attention but engaging enough that it fills me with energy.
Right now I've got light fixtures to clean and a lot of clothes to iron, so my apologies to the sweet old couple who live next door.
It's a special day! Today Brian Eno released his first-ever collaboration with the artist known as Fred Again.. who worked with Skrillex and Four Tet and closed out Coachella this year.
The album was so impactful that it inspired me to write an article for the first time since publishing my book last summer. You can check it out on my newly-launched member journal here (https://scd.community/index.php?topic=324.0).

"Climbing Plants"—Ozric Tentacles (2020)
Carole King - Pleasant Valley Sunday (1966 Demo)
The mister is sleeping in today on his day off so I'm doing a bit of quiet tidying. Still on a 90s death metal kick, this band is super underrated, sci-fi death metal with synth parts. Very unique.
"Iri Sulu" by The Black Heart Procession
"This Cat is a Landmine" by 65daysofstatic
"Just a Little Boy (For Chester Burnett)" by Swans
"Racatin"—Populous (2017)Holy shit does this song make me want to dance.
Back on that 70s proto-metal kick. This had to be one of the heaviest songs in the world in 1970, an all time favorite.
Colombian Juan García-Herreros playing Havona (Weather Report). I can't remember where I got this vid from as I can't find it anywhere else on the web now. Sound quality is not great and I can only hear the bass with earphones on.
Anyway I thought of this great cover due to:
- WR Heavy Weather is in GD's current rock album survivor list. Tbh it's probably my favourite album on that list
- ISB's thread about what album opened up a world of new music. Well for me it's probably Heavy Weather, along with some of J-L Ponty's albums
- Bass and big band. Yes siree!

Moloko were great. They nailed sounding retro inspired while also being pretty culturally 90s, if that makes any sense. Such an amazing voice too.
This is probably their most famous song, a neo-disco classic.

I was reminded of this one the other day. I like it!
Taking in the 2001 Columbia-issued The Complete In a Silent Way Sessions 3CD / 5LP box set.
As a passionate ambient music connoisseur, In a Silent Way is by far my favorite Miles Davis record, so I leapt at the chance to hear the working material from those sessions.
My understanding is that there was really nothing else like it, neither before nor since, so it's a treasure to enjoy three CDs worth of Davis' exploration of his pioneering new territory.
The music is described as atmospheric, mellow, nocturnal, mysterious, soothing, calm, meditative, hypnotic, and peaceful. I'd love to hear more but I'm not sure anything else comes close.

Since returning from Paris haven't been in the mood for Beefheart or Ligeti or PIL or whatever I'm usually listening to.
Been listening instead to the quintessential French whisperings album by the queen herself
Revisited this album after mentioning it in one of TR's threads:
Haven't heard it in a long time, but it's still good 🙂
Tried looking for an appropriate thread covering "recent compositions in the style of previous decades" but couldn't find one (maybe there's a reason for that!), so went with robhr's thread.
I do enjoy 70s cop show music primarily because some of it very good, nostalgia, and cos I think it too often gets thrown into the 'miscellaneous' bin (or pile of cardboard boxes if you like).
Andy Tolman Cartel did a great album "Cypher" a few years ago. Rather than taking the mickey, I believe they genuinely captured that style, as can be heard in this track, with all its motifs, twitches, ka-pows and soaring harmonies.
Would be interested to hear recommendations of other current bands showing love for that specific 70s detective show sound ie. not just general jazz funk. Cheers 8)
Ella Fitzgerald was mentioned in one of the other threads... this is one of my favorite performances of any American standard
I did a fun little project today. I've a fondness for the ultra-smooth textured, jazzy, ambient tone of a classic Fender Rhodes keyboard, particularly when paired with a 1978 Prophet 5 or similar synth and some liberal sustain.
I found archives of 14 classic albums which prominently featured the Rhodes, but really wanted to focus on the velvety ambience of echo-laden improvisational pieces where melody takes a backseat to texture and tone.
So I performed a deep-dive into YouTube for solo Rhodes demonstration and improv videos. I ripped the best specimen at a high bitrate, batch-processed the tagging information using uniform filenaming conventions, found a nice retro reference photo of a Rhodes to drop in for album cover art, and queued up the resulting 58-minute album set on my server in my favorite circumaural headphones to survey the results. (This way the serene listening experience isn't tainted by intermittent Youtube adverts for deodorant and weight-loss products.)
I'm pleased with how it turned out, and for an extra dash of nostalgia, I closed the set with Bob James' "Angela (The Theme from 'Taxi')," also from 1978.
Good times!

They built an empire off the back of the head honcho Kris Jenner the mother. She is the genius behind the machine. While you and other people discredited and discount them. They have continued to build an empire in difference businesses and generated generational wealth for themselves. They only play up the stupid act for cameras. I love Kim K one she is my birthday twin and two she has an excellent mind for business. She is super smart. Also close to finishing up school to become a lawyer and follow in her dad's footsteps a bit. I like all the incarceration cases she has helped with.
Also I agree with them being more genuine than Harry and Meghan.

I forgot how much I loved it. It popped up into my playlist after my Green Day album finished and I was like wow haven't heard this in awhile and it's still so good.
I had to find out what all the fuss was about.
I don't get how he doesn't see how racist this is on multiple levels.
Yeah what a psychotic thing to say, like those "good old boys" would kill someone like me on the spot if I ever came through a "small town" and he'd probably cheer that they killed a "groomer". This happens to real people, to make a song celebrating it is on another level of heartlessness.
The building they decided to film in front of was a popular spot for lynching back in the day. Also you are right those good ole boys would totally do that.
He's trying to make it seem like it's about local communities and just being prideful about where you live but nah it's clearly more than that especially with all the riot footage in the video.
Yep. With all the talk about him having a gun and talking about "trying that" I interpret it as a threat directed at "criminals" (which is backed up by the top comments), but something tells me those small towns' definition of "criminals" would include unarmed teenagers in hoodies with bottles of iced tea, if recent history is anything to go by. So yeah definitely gives off racist vibes. I didn't know that about the building, but that's even sussier than I thought. Blech.
And judging by the amount of trans hatred and "groomer" rhetoric perpetuated by "good old boys" with American flags in their display names, I think that's how they would see me and my people as well. Violence against trans people in the name of "protecting the kids" seems to be a popular sentiment these days.
If Mr. Aldean wanted to paint "small towns" as being great communities where people take care of each other, he didn't do a very good job.

What an opening track. Their albums Kawana, Shekina and Osiris (Edit: and also Z=7L) are worth checking out if you like this proggy zeuhly sound with a large dose of snake-charmer soprano sax.
Wigwam - Bless Your Lucky Stars
Not sure if ZAO or Wigwam have been posted much but I sure hope they make it into the 1001 essential prog rock lists!
James Hype would be one of my favorite DJs if it wasn't for how much he overuses his 'James Hype, bitch' producer tag. Guy has serious talent.
Brian Eno: "When I first met Talking Heads, the first meeting I ever had with them, they had been playing in London and they came over to my flat to talk about me working on their next album. So I said, 'This is the future of music', and I played them Afrodisiac, and to their credit they were incredibly impressed by it. If you listen to the third album we did together (Remain In Light) it's so influenced by that. It's sort of shameful in a way."
Found this on TikTok and wish he did the whole song.
I went out with the family to the village bar which have live music most nights in July and August, and got talking to a session drummer who was mingling. After a few exchanges I learnt that he lives about 500 metres from me, and that he grew up on a lot of progressive rock, zeuhl, rock in opposition etc. I was so overjoyed to have met someone in the flesh so close to home who enjoys the likes of Magma, ZAO, J-L Ponty...
He is Frédéric Vaudaux, and I'm constantly impressed that there are musicians like him who continue to experiment and create great music.
Drum of mesh - Frédéric Vaudaux
and I then listened again to one of my favourite Magma live performances:
Magma - "Köhntarkösz, Pt. II"
Two hits by Leftfield -
First, "Afro Left" from 1994's
Leftism LP. The track features Neil Cole (as Djum Djum) on vocals, and it was rumoured that the lyrics were in an unspecified African language; it was later revealed that they were simply gibberish, or "Djum Djum talk". The song reached #22 in the UK charts.
And "Afrika Shox" featuring Afrika Bambaataa from their 1999 album
Rhythm And Stealth.The song was later used in the 2001 film
Vanilla Sky and was included in the film's soundtrack album.
The music video was directed by Chris Cunningham and was one of the first videos to be put into DVD quality featured in the demo disc featured in issue 51 of The Official UK PlayStation Magazine.
I played this album so much but man this video was so worth the wait for numerous reasons.

Stumbled across this band recently and I dig them.
My favorite Afghan Whigs song is their cover of A** Ponys' "Mr. Superlove."
Mr. Superlove is the debut studio album by Cincinnati, Ohio-based indie rock band A** Ponys. It was originally released in 1990 on OKra Records, and was subsequently reissued by Anyway Records with several bonus tracks. It was produced by the Afghan Whigs' bassist John Curley, and was recorded in his house.
Afghan Whigs released a 7" split single with A** Ponys with their cover of "Mr. Superlove" in 1993.
Here is the original version:

Which Afghan Whigs album do you recommend that I check out first?
A black cosplayer friend of mines released her first song and it's super catchy for a pop tune. I played it on repeat when it was first released.
Quote from: DJChameleon on Sep 03, 2023, 07:00 PMWhich Afghan Whigs album do you recommend that I check out first?
Gentlemen (1993) is generally regarded as their most popular album, but I usually spin their
What Jail is Like EP from '94, probably due to my love of the single I shared which is featured on the EP. I'm not particularly familiar with deeper cuts of their catalog. A few singles were included on a mix tape a lady friend made me in art school, so those are the ones I return to.
Your friend's mix is well-executed for a pop record. The mixing and production seem consistent with the few examples of contemporary music I've been exposed to. (The majority of my musical sphere is instrumental so vocal works are a bit foreign to me.)

Just tripped over this band and I can't find much on them. Euro Friends, do you know them?
I needed some fresh driving music choons to queue up on my server for both my daily commute and upcoming roadtrips so I dove deep into my archive and uncovered an exhaustive library I'd extracted from sources like slsk and themixingbowl back in the day - a library of illegal art unreleasable content by Soulwax performing as 2ManyDJs. They were well-known as masters of b*stard pop/mashup house music when that genre was at its peak.
Only one of the nearly 60 DJ sets they produced is available commercially, namely As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2, but the sampled material was extensively cleared for commercial release; as a result, only 114 elements appear out of the 187 recordings that 2ManyDJs initially wished to use. The artwork of the album was also altered following lawsuit threats from the photographer of the original images.
So of the unreleased DJ session content, I have:
- As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt. 0 - 11
- 2Many Intros (Colin Murray Show - Soulwax Mix May 19th 2008)
- Get Your Yo Yo's Out
- Hang All DJ's - Volume 1 - 5
- Midnight - 2am Leftfield show 02-02-2009 (Introversy & Disco Mix)
- Radio Soulwax Pts 1 - 30
- Radio Soulwax Essential Mix 01-02-2005
I have set lists for everything except the 30 volumes of Radio Soulwax. I went digging through snapshots of forum discussions from 20 years ago but couldn't find track listings for those sets. But that will make the rediscovery all the more interesting.
It's going to be fun to revisit my 2002-era listening and see what memories rise to the surface.

Over the years I've learnt to fully embrace the term "background music" and its close cousins Hotel Lobby, Call Centre Holding, and Elevator. I'm now quite at ease to talk about it in public! Hehe.
Pharrell Williams and Rick Rubin did an interview a few years back where PW talks about the feeling one gets from hearing an unknown tune in an elevator and he tries to remember it and back engineer the chords (the coordinates) when he gets home. Beautiful stuff.
And yes, the Italian and Italian American film composers have written so many beautiful scores. I tend to go for the gritty crime themes such as Armando Trovaioli's "Blazing Magnum" or Stelvio Cipriani's "La Polizia Sta A Guardare" but on the subject of love, Piero Piccioni's "Endless Love" is really nice
^ I absolutely
adore Piccioni's work and the whole
Colpo Rovente soundtrack - and "Endless Love" happens to be my favorite composition by him. Very moving, with that delicate undercurrent of jazziness. It's bound to be stuck in my head this evening! Thanks for posting. :)
I also need to look up that Pharrell Williams and Rick Rubin interview - sounds very interesting!

After reading a book about hauntological media I finally decided it was time to give Burial's
Untrue a dedicated listen. It was abstract, atmospheric, nocturnal, melancholic, sparsely ethereal... everything that usually attracts me to ambient music. It took me 16 years but I've finally come around to the seminal work of post-dubstep / future garage.
Mary Anne Hobbs of BBC Radio 1 did a really great minisode feature about the album back in 2007 when it was fresh. I'll share it below for any other latecomers to this iconic album. And just a heads-up - the CD, digital version and later vinyl reissues have 13 tracks, original vinyl 2x12" has only 8 of those tracks. Definitely seek out the 2012 and later editions for the complete album.
Burial's Untrue: The making of a masterpiece
^ I love
Untrue and was just listening to it the other day while trying to think of music to post to Mona's makeout thread. ;) All in all, it is my favorite ambient/dark garage album and I first encountered it about 10 years ago, yet have never seen that BBC 1 minisode. Thank you for sharing it!

During a trip to my old home town of Rochester I made a pilgrimage to my favorite record shop - The Bop Shop. I told the staff I was on a mission, knowing that the Shop had always been my #1 source for 20th-century classical minimalism and electroacoustic avant-garde recordings.
I quickly penned a list of the original pressings which had eluded me and my collection for the past 20 years just in case they had any of the titles in store that day.
Sure enough, just yesterday Moondog's 1971 second self-titled LP had come in! There is some ringwear to the jacket but the disc is pristine. And it was only pressed once more than 50 years ago so I knew I had to buy it on the spot.
They're saving my list of other items and will drop me an email if any of them get traded in in the months ahead.
It's a great day! :)

You said you listened to 30s/40s jazz
more than anything, that's what I was going off of. But noted!
I'm not sure if I could pick a favorite time period for music honestly.
Where's my Geritol? :laughing:
I'll have you know my tastes are more '60s and '70s (ELP, ELP!! *high fives Mrs. Waffles*) and not that static. And I do not like the Moody Blues or Procol Harum, so there! The Kinks do rock, tho. 8)
"Now and Then" is not boring. It's emo and makes me cry. Again. ::)

Cruel Summer is a great tune BTW. Taylor Swift, not the Beatles.
I have to agree. I'm sure it's quite touching and sentimental for big Beatles fans, especially the video, but I just don't have enough attachment to them to really feel it.
It's kinda funny that Taylor randomly released Cruel Summer as a single four years after the album it's from came out and it became a huge hit now. Was always a highlight of that album for me and I'm glad it's getting more recognition.
The Beatles - Now And Then (Official Audio)I heard about this song a few months ago. Wasn't expecting much and now that I've heard it, it's about what I figured it would be. It doesn't put a stain on their legacy but it doesn't enhance it, either. Not awful, not great, just mediocre. Paul and Ringo probably shouldn't have bothered making this song. I'm guessing it was mostly (if not entirely) Paul's idea. Some things in life are best left undone.

The Beatles have been one of my all-time favorite groups since I was a wee lad back in the 60's. I'm old enough that I heard my mom play their debut album at our home when it was first released. If I had to pick a band as my number 1 favorite, they would probably be it.
Having said all that, I was hoping the new song would be good and I'd be into it, but it just doesn't do anything much for me.

It's not the most incredible song, hell I'd say the entire Sgt Pepper album is better but as a tribute and an homage to The Beatles, I think it does a superb job. The lyrics are simple but effective. They're also my numero uno.
Of course, if the song was amazing, it would've been released a long time ago. No one should expect a new Hey Jude or Yesterday in 2023.

I'm terminally ill (it's not immediate though, I expect to be here for a few years more yet) but I am in the process of listening to my collection all the way through sort of in preparation.

Some Joe Jackson live set around the time of Volume 4. Don't know the date, not near enough to the stereo computer to see, balance is wobbly today so I'll just have to not know the specifics. But he's playing as well as ever and the audience is really enthusiastic.

Thanks! MS is an iconic neoclassical new age / symphonic prog ensemble featuring a fusion of electric and acoustic classical, jazz, and folk. Admittedly a bit cheesy at times it was still an important stepping stone for my musical journey. They released an "Interludes" volume which focuses on their more ambient compositions which I prefer.

The reason that they're cheesy is that they're from Omaha. I live in Omaha.
Weird bit of trivia: Chip Davis from Mannheim Steamroller was responsible for the CW McCall character (remember "Convoy"?). Bit gobsmacked when I found that out because it's weird to find country on one side to me and new age on the other.

I've heard it for a few seconds since 1974. John Peel devoted 40 minutes of a two hour show playing it (at opposite ends of the show) and I skipped it for feeling that Terry Riley is much better at it. In April or so we can celebrate it 50 years since it went to the cut-out bins.
Right now it's a Jon Anderson solo show from sometime in the 00's. It's interesting hearing him attempting to play guitar but having zero idea what the chords actually are for Yes songs.
And in other news, 50 years ago some band that you've yet to hear released the greatest album in the history of the human eardrum but nobody knows what it is yet.

Right now it's Van Der Graaf Generator, some live DVD that they made later into an album. Don't remember the title.

@ribbons! I first discovered the b-side to "Waterfalls" - "Check My Machine" in 2011 on the UK Paul McCartney 12″ bootleg – Balearic Rarities. Comprised of Paul's forgotten 80s experiments with dance music and what might be labeled as early techno, it's a far cry from the McCartney we know and love. Similar tracks appeared on an older double LP bootleg titled, The Lost McCartney II Album. That boot also included the frenetic "Temporary Secretary."

Well, they both sound sick. Peter Gabriel sounds like he's going to cough up his lungs at any moment, and Phil Collins desperately needs an antihistamine. I feel like I'm listening to a wall of boogers when I hear Collins, whom I've nicknamed Charlie Brown. I can't forgive them for that horrible "Illegal Alien" song (that's right knock 3/4 of my heritage, guys), so they've been cancelled for 40 years.
Out of all the singers that sound like they're going to be sick right in front of you, I think I would rather Roger Chapman more than any others, because his is the voice that reaps the most long-term listening rewards for me. Bonnie Tyler croaking Mike Oldfield's "Islands" at the top of her lungs, sounding like that voice is going to go any second, is a long-term favourite as well.
David Thomas wins the award for unique singers. There is something about his sense of space and timing that puts even Sinatra in the shade. Yes he does sound something like a fat baby goat but that only adds to his charm.

I find Peter Gabriel's very nasal voice acting in Genesis to be more or less grating, but then really like his vocals once he gets into his solo career. It's weird.
To my ears, he sounds great on that above track and elsewhere, like on So.
Phil Collins' voice doesn't do much for me. I much prefer Gabriel.

Didn't bother with them at all after "Illegal Alien." I dutifully like a fan bought the album the day of publication, was greeted with That Song and all Genesis and Genesis related records got made into flowerpots, long since buried to become shrubberies. When people show their true colours like that I just don't have any life left for them, you know what I mean? I was saddened when I had to do that to Alice Cooper and Carlos Santana but when they have to go they have to go.
Cancelled Roger Waters too, but David Gilmour has my back for the Pink Floyd material he's on.

Illegal Alien is pretty bad, but at least Peter Gabriel didn't have anything to do with that one. I haven't really been interested in Genesis output in the 80s anyways.

Both said some really dumb transphobic stuff. Buying into the current right wing hysteria that's all the rage right now. The real irony is Dee Snider from Twisted Sister also said some transphobic stuff. Because apparently dressing in femme clothes and makeup and identifying your brand as a "sister" is ok but being an AMAB person using she/her pronouns is just plain wrong.

I don't get it. We're talking about people that
kill themselves when the struggle gets too much. I've personally lost way too many to count. People are people, the plumbing doesn't matter, the outer covering doesn't matter. Only the person matters. It really doesn't get much simpler than that.

They've by and large bought into the slanderous "groomer" rhetoric the right has been pushing. Because if you have a lot of money and don't like certain people, the best way to turn the masses against them is to accuse them of being pedophiles. And the masses buy into it because their people are talking heads with podcasts and our people are strange and different and kill it in the makeup game.

I'm having the time of my life reading the 80-page companion text which was written exclusively for The Complete Obscure Records Collection 10LP Deluxe Box Set. I feel so fortunate to have serendipitously discovered the pre-order page just before its issue and to have been in a financial position to claim this special release.
A few sods dismiss this collection as "dull" or uninspired. The book, comprising essays and articles from the original composers, their estates, and affiliates, reveal that these works are everything but. These are historical artifacts of critical import - 20th century music which effectively reinvented the concept of sound art. Here we find Dada, Fluxus, aleatoric music, Gamelan tonality, minimalism, experimental folk, process music... and compositions which discard all of the then-popular schools of thought like free jazz and the clamorous klang of the established classical avant-garde. New instruments are invented, new tonal systems manifested, and vastly new compositional methodologies are implemented with compelling results. Much like with Cage's work, it is more important to understand what is happening contextually in these pieces rather than to idly consume the sound, itself.
As I wrote in the conclusion of my article about this release (https://scd.community/index.php?topic=324.msg19625#msg19625), I choose to invest in history. This is fast-becoming one of the most prized specimen of my Archive. <3

Very nice technical Slam Death Metal
French Prog (or should that be Frog) but also has sufficient chromaticism to satisfy my jazzy needs. I don't know anything about Jean-Paul Prat but this is great.
As one commenter said: "9:04 ddaaaaaaaaaaaamn!:)". He ain't wrong.
So have listened to some old pop songs that I haven't heard in years. These two duets are a little odd:
Some weird macho energy at the start there. Why is this a duet with Zucchero and Paul Young? I'm not against it, but nothing in the lyrics seem to warrant it.
Look at me, I'm a flower. It's kinda weird and funny, but I like it 😄
This was also a blast from the past:
The message is kinda sweet. It's very obviously a Paul McCartney song from this period. It doesn't sound like Stevie Wonder did much other than sing on it.
Shouldn't he be playing a piano in this? Or couldn't Stevie replace that weird, plunky synth solo with something a bit more ambitious and proficient?
Not a bad song, but not great either. I think I preferred his Collab with Michael Jackson 🤔 What do you think,
@ribbons ?
Alon Mor - Lands Of DelightI'm always surprised how unknown this album is. In a more just world this guy would be mentioned along the lines of Aphex Twin or Squarepusher. Not because he sounds in any way like them but because he's managed to create his very own brand of complex, yet beautiful electronic music.
It's honestly hard to describe. Like IDM from the year 3000 with classical and tribal influences and all with an incredibly detailed, lush production. There's ambiance and abstraction but also some ridiculous hardcore banger moments. It's made for headphones and probably lossless formats. Alien shit.

Hey, robhr! Good to see you on the thread.
I'm often interested in scat singing, and this guy reinvigorated my interest in it.
Big3, you should try this in the car on the way home.
According to RYM the genres are Nu Jazz, Electronic Dance Music, IDM, Halftime, Neurohop, Neurofunk, Dubstep. Never heard all this stuff mixed with jazz and I love it.
Fantastic sound design and complex yet banging tracks.
Edit: Damn, I'm obsessed with this. After reading up a bit I found out that the guy is a classically trained pianist and this imo really shows in the intricacy of it all. This is next level shit.
A song gifted to me on a mixtape in college. It brings back so many memories.
Mojave 3 - "In Love With a View"
Youtube is acting stupid.
I am rather enjoying this.

Ariana Grande's new song is good.

I dig it a lot too. Her last album fell really flat for me so it's good to see her making bangers again.

I didn't hear it but I heard some tunes from the one before.
She's got the X Factor imo.

You might know the title track from that album (Positions) or the song 34 35, those were huge radio hits over here at least.
And yeah, I agree. great vocalist, plenty of memorable songs, an icon of the pop of the last decade for sure.
"Voyage Automatique" by 35007
November Növelet are yet another band that I used to love but haven't listened to in many years.
I'm really surprised by how much I enjoy it, especially their album "The World In Devotion".
It's dark, somewhat minimalistic Minimal Wave or Synth Pop or something like that.
Deadpan singing with a noticeable German accent, somewhat cringy "dark" lyrics, very effective analog synth backgrounds with some genuinely creepy sounds and atmospheres.
All quite minimalistic and samey, but at the same time listenable, groovy and even catchy.
Lovers of dark synthpop and analog electronics should check it out.

Immediately after reading the title I was instantly overwhelmed with an urge to go listen to it, and now I am. Truly a testament to how great that song is.

have u heard this one? it's the spiritual successor/was influenced greatly by it, I might like it even better rarely does an EDM song give me chills for most of the run time, and bring me close to or produce real tears like this song does

No, never heard it! I didn't know Baseck was still around, I used to listen to his stuff back in like 2010. I'll listen next chance I get.
the OG Linkin Park EP, when they were going under Hybrid Theory.
I have always had this weird resentment for LP, but I've been getting over it the past few years. Maybe I just knew too many ppl back in the day that were into the AMV versions of Numb and Until the End idk. They have lots of heat, but I haven't gotten into the debut album yet

Cheers to everyone in the group who has the original first pressing with "Qu'ran" intact. It was removed from subsequent pressings after the Islamic Council of Great Britain called it blasphemy.

You got me curious at "psychedelic" so I researched. I'm pretty sure I'm unaware of Amorphous Androgynous but some of this album art looks vaguely almost maybe sorta familiar. One album labeled as psychedelic rock and downtempo so that's interesting. What are they like?
I'll listen to the one here when I'm on my desktop.
Thanks! They're a major side project of The Future Sound of London.
Originally described as Downtempo, Ambient Techno/Ambient House/Ambient Dub music, the project also ventures into territories of Psychedelic Rock, Neo-Psychedelia, Progressive Rock, Space Rock, and Psychedelic Folk.
They're characterized as abstract, futuristic, rhythmic, eclectic, meditative, ethereal, aquatic, sampledelia, mellow, atmospheric, natural, repetitive, surreal, and mysterious.
I have 142 of their albums including the complete A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding in Your Mind mix sessions.
Enjoy!
Ah okay that's probably why familiar album art I've dabbled in The Future Sound of London, have been meaning to dive into them further.

Not the same song, but my Adele story is that I was working at a thrift store in 2011; they played top 40 radio and I swear they would play that Adele song "Someone Like You" like at least 2-3 times every shift. As a retail worker I'm used to hearing the same songs over and over, but that song was just so slow and long and dirge-like that it just felt like my good mood and energy were sucked from me whenever it came on.
Since then I have had some kind of involuntary feeling of dread creep over me every time I hear the beginning of it.

I have a similar story, only it was 2005, working at 7/11 and it was an album of slow Eva Cassidy covers.
Fields of Gold sticks out 😅
I don't like Eva Cassidy.
HA HA...you asked for this.... :laughing:
I think it was just a hectic time in my life....long story really. but late 1969 after one child in 1968 I had twins in 1969 something that I was not happy about really as my time was swapped.............

Hiya Dianne glad to see you around
Did you hear they defaced a statue of Amy in London, covering the star of David necklace with a Palestinian flag sticker?
Shame how statues are a target along with anything else that would hurt people...The world has changed a lot in my lifetime and not seen anything really for the good. I know there is but tis only shocking stories that fill up the news channels.
Very peaceful where I live but when you get people doing demonstrations against government changes they don't agree with.. which happens a lot as the French are physically active that way. Recent ones are the top ones want to make the working age a little longer as it was 60 you could retire if you wished, think the top ones tried for 62...Haha that means a war to many affected.
I own a lot of Secrets and they stay as the word says Secrets.....but we all do :-X
Some people have gone from this world and you cannot miss them for just reasons....but most kind decent ones, gosh never really had much chance,

I saw a Witch Club Satan gig yesterday which was a lot of fun, so here's some for you as well:
A bit of later stage Genesis perhaps. I've never not liked Phil Collins' voice. And certainly some Sergent Pepper / Beatles vibes.

I like it 🙂 nice song.
About voice, how do you feel about Phil Vs Peter? Or did I ask that already? 🤔

From what I remember, they sound quite similar imo. Especially on the higher notes. If say someone put on a Genesis song on a juke box, the chances are I wouldn't know what year it was from and therefore wouldn't know which P it was.
I probably subscribe to the traditional school of prog fans and say that Peter was "better" because he was the original vocalist during their best era. (Hope I haven't rubbed any G fans up the wrong way with my blissful ignorance haha :embarassed: :palmface: )

My wife also thinks they sound similar 😄 I'm like.. But Peter Gabriel is so much more husky!! I definitely like PG more, but I'll say his voice and the way it's produced isn't great in early Genesis (imo). Something happens when he becomes a solo artist and then I love it.
I think I posted this song in this thread already, but I'll repost as it's on topic and interesting as they both sing on it 😊
^ That's a very nice song, GuyBrush, but I still couldn't really tell the difference between Gabriel and Collins. Was Collins mostly doing the backing vocals?
From memory, Gabriel did well with "Sledgehammer" and Collins did well with "In the Air Tonight". Both were great songs in UK.
Listened to a bit of Zopp. I got this CD for the car a couple of years ago and I've been banging out "Before The Light". A gentle heavy Canterbury rock sound.

Peter Gabriel sings first and Collins joins on backing vocals eventually. Around 1:55 or so, Collins takes over lead vocal duties for a short minute or so before Peter returns and does most of it as the song comes to a close 🙂
Fever Ray is an interesting artist 🤔 I kinda like this.
Superdrag - "Sucked Out" (1996)
In a sophisticated jazz mood. Smooooth. But it has quite heavy and rocky parts too which I like.
Benjamin Thiebault - "Obsessio"
This artist is very underrated, this is one of my favorite songs:

Was listening to XTC's Skylarking today 🙂 very good album!

Thank you!
Ty TikTok for putting me onto this song.
Been listening to this a lot the last few days:
It really wriggled into my brain.
I've also revisited the second Flight of the Conchords album. A couple of gems from there:

Love XTC and Skylarking. Partridge (and XTC as a whole) had an incredible ear for great hooks and had great songwriting.
Always thought this one was one of their catchiest singles:
Just realizing, Andy Partridge kinda looks like Dwight Schrute when he wore those glasses and had hair:
