Goddamnit! I've given Squarepusher so many chances because I feel like one day it will click and I will love him, and I'd all but given up until you posted this track, and I was like, "YES! This is everything I expected him to be!" Now (yes, I've spent the last two months harping on this post), I think I should finally give up the ghost of Squarepusher. Even the album version of this track--even though it's not that different--falls into the same category of electro-jazz wallpaper that I can't just seem to get into.Quote:

EDIT: Sorry, so many words and so zero music. Here's some electro-jazziness that I do love:

This the kind of gritty, borderline sloppy jamming folk, acoustic shit that makes me want to get loaded and dance in the street 'til dawn.
I should also mention this band is unusual for me, because the number of groups i listen to with female lead vocalists can be counted on my testicles.
Bubbly, upbeat guitar/drums/vocals 3-5 minute songs aren't exactly my thing, but I'm all about this one:

The new Melt Banana album feels good on your face.
the new roots album is sublime:
swizz minimal polyrythmic stuff.
some older mike patton project. I love this man.

yeah surprised how much music has passed me by. Used to be a HUGE NIN fan. Another lifetime ago though.
The Beatles - 'You got to hide your love away'
"raise some hands" lol gambling addictions but i like it anyway
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg4Xsbbt4go

this is the music I like and as always hear the pitch I'm playing poker I feel calmer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CaWw3-nXKM
hope you like my music, everyone has their own tastes hope to share theirs!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl7HAdw_JfQ
just.. wow
That is awesome!
I don't have any cool chillout music, but here's the best version of War Pigs ever:
the fact that you actually listened to and commented on what i posted makes me respect you in a unique way that transcends everyone else here. this forum has always felt like a self-reflective abyss to poop one's aural fixations into, without any hope for contact with sentient life forms. anyway you rock. speaking of rock, im listening to your war pigs now...
edit: nice! i don't usually listen to live stuff but that was awesome
Die Antwoord has made some friends. This is immediately my favorite music video of all times.
Dunno how many of you are into house, but
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPioLizQKuc
that was pretty good
but:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33uyeDpMBlY
^^ amazing house
very nice, it picks up sweet toward the end
yeah that last part is so dope. also great songs by bob moses: "i ain't gonna be the first to cry" "far from the tree" "grace"
die antwood look so much better than they sound.
You guys need more guitar in your lives. Hanni El Khatib is my favorite recent discovery.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmfy_5nAH_U
And another because I apparently can't use two in one post.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9TUnpOsO7k
hawk needs more blissful ambient in his life.
I checked it out. I'm not going to say I listened to the full hour, but I skipped around the whole thing for a few minutes to get a taste. That sounds good if I want background noise that I don't really want to focus on while working or something (hence the "ambient", I get it), but I prefer music that I'm actually going to pay attention to.Quote:

I suppose that's kind of the point to ambient music. It's great for poker, or for playing chess, for reading, or for a snooze. It's not great if you want to sing into the remote control, or dance like a twat, play air guitar, or listen to lyrics. Different music suits different moods.Quote:

I quite like that Hanni El Khatib song you posted. Sounds kinda like White Stripes meets John Spencer Blues Explosion, both bands I like a lot. Have some John Spencer, dude is awesome and probably right up your street.

definitely listen to this if you have high quality speakers that do justice to bass. the bass wobble in this is a work of art, holy shit.
@Hawk: That's rock-n-roll, not "guitar music".
To me, at least, guitar music has a guitarist with jaw-dropping skills, not a passionate singer who uses a guitar to drive the vocals.
Is good rock-n-roll, but too simple for my tastes. My expectation for more guitar work tainted my appreciation.
@Luco, Royal Blood was pretty solid, although it could have been a lot more ominous or creepy sounding, given the video.
@aubrey, I don't really get into house music, or any dance music. I have no dance moves, so my bias serves me well. :)
The violin/piano piece was absolutely frantic and didn't really take me anywhere. I kept trying to pin any imagery down to it, and I just felt like was some kind of frantic search. But kind of dark, too. I don't get it.
This is more me on the "classical" music scale:
Beethoven: Violin Romance no 2
Somebody post something with phenomenal drum work so that I can remember that drummers are musicians, too.
This page is lacking.
I'm down with Alice in Chains and Tool, and the Roots, so bring me something I'm not familiar with, please.
Prokofiev is difficult to listen to because he's working with an entirely different hierarchy of tones. His creativity is fucking off the charts, the musical modes of expression he found, the idioms he created... Dude is fucking unbelievable. He has expanded my capacity for music so greatly. It is not easy to get into, especially if you have no ear for atonality, but it's something you need to develop. If you have the capacity for classical music I think you should really try to get into him.
Here is Sonata 1, one of his earlier Sonatas, much more tonal but still evidence of his fucking alien intelligence. Check it out, tell me what you think.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APxweGUCqIs
The later sonatas are straight up like, prog rock. It's just like a completely different world of musical sounds. We're just so accustomed to traditional harmonies and psychological landscapes and this is so out of left field that it's jarring. But again, if you develop your ear for it, you'll find that it starts speaking to emotional nuances inside you in this radically different and fulfilling way.
This is the third movement of Sonata 8. You probably will not like it but it's the kind of thing that, if you dedicate time to developing your ear, you may find yourself incredibly moved by the paradigm shift in your experience of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mw0J67A8mM
As for amazing drum solo, this is one of the most incredible things I've ever witnessed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3yDealMJt4
Also, I love romantic classical music. I had to develop my ear for atonal over the years too. But you can hear the stirrings modern 20th century in composers like Liszt and even Chopin. Ever listen to Chopin's Ballades? I can definitely hear intimations of Prokofiev in there. Beethoven too. Beethoven is my favorite - I've idolized him and obsessed over his music since I was very young. His Late Quartets are also a little more dissonant and visceral, but they are one of the most important pieces of music ever composd.
Bartok is another crazy mother fucker. Dude straight up captured the gypsies. His music is more difficult than Prokofiev. You cannot listen to Bartok without devoting every iota of your attention to it.
Lastly... Tool is like, my favorite band of all time. I used to be a totally obsessed devotee, read everything and listened to everything and am still kind of a walking library of Tool knowledge. I'll try to find something for you on that front. Danny Carey is the fucking shit!
Prokofiev also is the embodiment of the scherzo. Whimsical, capricious, mocking, etc. His melodies and motifs are so remarkable and ferociously creative, the way he pushes melodies and harmonies and subverts them, the crazy twists and turns, the insane serpentine corridors of his melodies and rhythms. His sense of space, the conversational persistence. I've been indulging on him like a fiend lately, really, he's just been dripping out of my ears and mouth and eyes, like.. I am completely subsumed by this man's creative mind. I'm indoctrinating people into the religion of Prokofiev left and fucking right lately.
Drums!!!!!!!!

Man, regardless of skill a drum solo just can't hold me.
About 4.20 in this clip shows the drums from McFearless all put together. They're very unconventional.

i kinda know what you mean but watch the ginger baker video and see what you think. he is channeling a primal force, it's so unrelenting. totally seizes me.Quote:
