autopilot Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I want some new music. Here is a brief list of the kind of things I think I would enjoy: Awesome old-school big beat/jungle stuff ala Fat of the Land era Prodigy, Hybrid's first two albums, and Meat Beat Manifesto's older stuff. IDM that has great melody and beats not too much wankery, ala LFO - Sheath and Jega - Geometry. Not interested in stuff that approaches Draft 7.30 territory. Stuff that sounds like Photek's Modus Operandi and Form & Function. Anything that's as awesome as 65 Days of Static. Good techno with female vocals. Something like Orbital used to do on 3 or 4 tracks out of every album. Good hip-hop that isn't about killing your colleagues or superiority complexes. Stuff that sounds like Analord 8. Stuff that sounds like Ulrich Schnauss and Royksopp. Very straightforward, unassuming techno with awesome melodies. Fucking awesome piano and string quartet music. It can be piano, string quartet, or piano and string quartet. Preferably original stuff, not covers of pop or AFX songs. Cool tabla music. Recommend anything you think I might like. Even stuff that doesn't apply to the above list at all. I spent the last 3 years playing video games nonstop and haven't kept up with anything save 2 or 3 artists, so there is likely obvious material that's passing me by on account of self-imposed obliviousness. Go, you music enthusiasts, go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essines Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Please check out Amon Amarth. Try 'With Oden On Our Side'. It's viking metal. but holy fuck if it isn't catchy as fuck and great pump up music for any occasion. Just try it. You don't have to like it.

autopilot Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ah yes! I forgot about RJD2. He's from around here too, I think. Snagging that and Donuts. That reminds me now to grab the first two DJ Shadow albums. [edit] Essiness - I will look into it with an open mind but I'm pretty sure I'll hate it.

Guest catsonearth Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 if you haven't listened to the EAP releases by EOD, impakt and FAH, stop what you're doing and go find them now. i don't know if the download page is still up because i forgot the URL, but if i remember correctly kaen was hosting them for quite some time. if you like the analord stuff, you can't go wrong with these tracks. there are some seriously epic tunes.

autopilot Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 What's EAP, a netlabel? Never heard of it. *googles* And Chopin, I fucking love Chopin. Anyone ever play that game Eternal Sonata? It's like having Japan take a big steamy shit on music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
