NI64 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 This came to me in a dream last night - I was listening to a mystery album and thought "This sounds just like Music Is Rotted..." But I woke up and thought about it, and not much music comes to mind for me. Definitely some Miles Davis is close, but that tends to be a lot busier and more chaotic. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions (jazz or otherwise) that capture the sort of murky, smoky, basement jam feel of this album. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xy_politics Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 how about these, perhaps still too chaotic or horn laden, but it's what comes to mind: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I always felt that a lot of the the 90s Tortoise stuff is is a similar vein. Same with the early mogwai stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extralife Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Great thread, great recs. Music is Rotted has always been my favorite Squarepusher album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NI64 Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Wow, excellent recommendations. Those are exactly what I was looking for. A few other similar things came to my mind: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 For a modern touch, I would get Panthalassa . It's an official Miles Davis release, and features remixes of his 70's output into 90's fusion/ambiant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panthalassa:_The_Music_of_Miles_Davis_1969–1974 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 13 hours ago, NI64 said: murky, smoky, basement jam feel Amon Tobin's Permutation hit this spot for me when I wanted to hear a similar vibe (if not technical/purely sonic similarity) to Music Is Rotted One Note. right from the moody opening sounds of the first track and the mysterious sample from Eraserhead, which I hadn't seen at the time. damn, I think I'm ready to revisit those first 4 Amon albums. I rinsed them so hard for years I stopped getting any pleasure out of them. I may be able to go back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toaoaoad Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thanks for this thread. I think this Badun album comes close to that kind of atmosphere in some places. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Sombrero Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 This would very much be within my sphere of knowledge. Here are a few modern ones: Conjoint – Earprints Jackson Conti – Sujinho Triosk Meets Jan Jelinek – 1+3+1 Fixity – The Things In The Room Omar Rodriguez-Lopez – Calibration More images Omar Rodriguez Lopez Quintet – The Apocalypse Inside Of An Orange and a classic Dutch one from 1974: Jasper Van't Hof – The Selfkicker 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one isn't their best imo, it just meanders and the constant ride cymbal gets tiresome, but it definitely has the Music Is Rotted atmosphere down otherwise. Actually I was just thinking how their self-titled album is somewhat reminiscent of HND-era squarepusher, but that would be another thread. Either way it seems likely they are influenced by him s.o.t.s. is my favourite, it's a beast on headphones Edited March 7, 2022 by toaoaoad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefxbip Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Kinda obvious but im mentioning it anyway. Psychedelic era Miles Davis and Herbie probably? Sun Ra can get quite synth heavy wild spacey smokey. (man that Sun Ra solo is crazy, found it while searching for stuff for this thread on youtube never heard it before) Edited March 7, 2022 by thefxbip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
