gaarg Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I want watmm to help me find good quality vocal music. And when I say quality I didn't mean flac files, but good singing! It can be classic, it can be swing, it can be pop or opera, just as long as you love it and want to make me love it! So far I loved the singing of Garm from Ulver, Freddie from Queen and some singers from Phillip Glass or some other composer that has vocals. In other words I know close to nothing of good singing, and thus need help of you, broad minded, musically experienced people. Three two, one, GO! U-tube videos will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 dunno if it's the kind of thing you're after, but Eva Cassidy has a very nice voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaarg Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Ok, I just remembered a few more I'd say I love for the singing: Nick Cave, the guy from band Beirut, Jamie Lidell (except sometimes when he overdoes stuff), singer of Opeth, Camille, probably left out a few good ones. Anyway, I'd love some serious vocal music, possibly with man chorus or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root5 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Dear Gaarg, I'm pretty sure what you're looking for is R Murray Schafer. He's kinda like Philip Glass, only he's Canadian, he writes mostly choral music, and his music is more usually more fast-paced and less ambient. He's a genius with cluster chords and voicing. Here are some examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtTWkxgStKE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anyIEOSQ9YQ&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYpvTMEzmzQ&feature=related Sometimes his work reminds me of Fol4 by Autechre, except with voices instead of noise.

Guest Sprigg Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Iron and Wine. It's more of a speak-sing-whisper, but he has my favourite voice of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_1Zz9ud83I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnWf7TmxFMo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murve33 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I like both singers in The Fiery Furnaces (Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger). They don't sound like they're trying too hard. Half of the time they're narrating and not singing though. My starter album was Bitter Tea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds6B6MPlrLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Billov Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Dunno if this is what you're looking for, but The Beach Boys have really inspired me since I discovered how incredible they were recently... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcUeSDMll5s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz7hPArVUqM Brian Wilson was a perfect pitch genius bastard... All the vocal layering is just so milky fresh. Makes pop vocalists these days just seem like a bunch of half arsed clowns. The Zombies were similar in ways, and definitely worth checking out their "Odyssey and Oracle" album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWfRbW-ObHk Oh and Roy Orbison sorry, all pretty oldschool music, but people knew how to fucking sing back then...

Guest happycase Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Gregorian Chant is some of my favorite.

Soloman Tump Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 +1 for Sigur Ros I love Serj Tankians voice, a very impressive vocal range. I dont usually like rock shit but these guys are cool in my book. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWSxELGNShk The chemical brothers have had some awesome guest vocalists over the years, check out Hope Sandoval and Beth Orten - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk9w_f2y4Qg&feature=avmsc2 FUCKIN PROPER TUNE THIS ONE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGj-dntDsVY Ursula Rucker has an amazing voice too, she is mainly a poet though but is very distinctive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpEKBGFZOFY&feature=related Great thread :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
