Libertine Posted 19 September 2008 Share Posted 19 September 2008 I'm uber bored and last.fm can only do so much. So.. Anyone got any recommendations for bands to check out? I mostly like Rock/Alt, Metal, Punk, Shoegaze etc but happy to check anything out, especially stuff like Reggae/Ska. Go ahead. PS. I've also recently started getting into 'electro' kinda music, bands like Frou Frou etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savant is the song coming after Trail Of Fire on the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted 19 September 2008 Share Posted 19 September 2008 Reggae --> Dub --> Dubstep Lee Scratch Perry, Groundation, Roots Manuva (Dub Come Save Me), King Tubby, Benga, Skream. Drum n Bass Commix - Call to Mind Cailbre - Overflow D Bridge - Gemini Principle Also check out my thread "The best drum n bass album I've heard for ages" for links, etc. What do you mean you don't like drum n bass? Just bloody listen to it. Electro/House Justice - Cross Booka Shade - Movements Digitalism - Idealism Elsewhere Anything. I mean ANYTHING, by DJ Krush. I can give you loads more recommendations for hip hop, chill-out, trip hop, drum n bass, breaks, soul, weird shit etc. Just ask. Also, in guitar-based world, an old classic by Spiritualized (Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space) has been getting an airing recently.

AoWW Posted 21 September 2008 Share Posted 21 September 2008 Also bored of much of the music I listen to and after some new suggestions. Nothing that's recently been released has appealed particularly so it's gonna be going back to rediscovering some stuff that passed me by, I reckon.

AoWW Posted 21 September 2008 Share Posted 21 September 2008 Nortec Collective Is it shouty? I'm not in the mood for shouty. I want quiet, deep, sad, depressing stuff. Or mellow - perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Posted 21 September 2008 Author Share Posted 21 September 2008 Check out Frou Frou AoWW. Kind of mellow electro/shoegazy style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AoWW Posted 21 September 2008 Share Posted 21 September 2008 Waldeck - The Night Garden. Love to pieces what I've found so far. 3 versions of the album (with differing tracklists) on Amazon though. 2 are imports. The non-import costs around £35 - but I now want it so much. You know my musical taste far too well. Nortec Collective Hmmm - listened to a bit on YouTube. I'll reserve judgement. A bit 'happy' for me at the mo. Check out Frou Frou AoWW. Kind of mellow electro/shoegazy style. Is 'she' Imogen Heap? Really like the idea/style, but her voice tends to grate after a while I find. Anything by Rise Against is good for me at the moment.Also currently loving The Blue God by Martina Topley Bird and American Doll Posse by Tori Amos Rise Against - will check out. Really like Martina T-B but haven't yet got this album - take it you'd recommend it? Tori Amos - hmmm, blast from the past - used to quite like her - could be worth a shot. Try No-Man Ooh, from what i've just found on YouTube i like - lots. What's the link with Porcupine Tree? Is there one? Reminds me a lot of them...

And yes, it's (the beautiful and amazing voice of) Imogen and Guy Sigsworth. Go on, check 'em out! I dare ya! Let Go is a good place to start I s'pose.

Steven Wilson's the composer*, and he plays the guitar at gigs. Tim Bowness does the singing and writes the lyrics I believe.. *the guy behind Porcupine Tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will love it all of the albums are currently available for download it's a subscription service that you can cancel at anytime but it's brilliant value 75 songs a month for only £14.99 or 100 for £19.99 all DRM free MP3's I can't get enough of it and often buy a bonus pack as well some great stuff can be found on it they have 2 waldeck and albums to download plus loads more good stuff If you want I can send you an invitation where you (and me) get 50 songs as a free trial!! you can then cancel once you have used them if you don't want to carry on and it will cost you nothing!! I think others like Fez and Alex use emusic as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
