[Dr. Paine]

Spoiler: Looking over this, it's kind of a weird list.

(Captcha: Tastes like chicken. ... uh-huh.)

 

[Ickorus]

I don't have any links at the moment, but "Two Steps from Hell" has fantastically epic music along the lines of movie scores. Hell, they even did music for a few movies...

Most of their music are scores made specifically for movies or games; the exception being the 'Illusions' album which was a personal project for Bergersen.


Awesome stuff; it was actually somebody here on The Escapist that lead me to them from another music thread so keep it coming guys.

Other music I like includes..

Spoiler: Mogwai

Spoiler: Explosions In The Sky

Spoiler: And So I Watch You From Afar

Spoiler: Múm

Spoiler: FantomenK

Spoiler: Beast, Please Be Still

Im a very big fan of instrumental music so post-rock is a perfect fit for me though there are some special musicians outside of the genre that also catch my attention.

And please, don't listen to just one of my songs and move on, I did try to get a decent variety of different sounds when selecting which to post in this thread.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

Maybe ill actually, you know, put up that molemixes stuff I mentioned. Here ya go!


Crank it up! Dance party in your bedroom/computer/office/wherever the fuck room!

Thank you for that playlist some real tunes on there

<color=red>IF YOU ARE READING THIS POST, not enough music threads survive, make it happen.

Okay keep the thread going? Hmmm....

Heres some Lindsey Stirling, a hip hop violinist with crazy skills to dance and play at the same time.Cute as a button too! Shes gone a bit viral with crystalise but I like some of her older stuff better.


Watch the shadow!


Crystalise has made her way more famous than she was. Its how I found out about her.


Vegeta! What does the scouter say about the cutness level?

Oh and heres a dubstep song I liked, soon to be a free download if they lose the contest they are in.

 

[repeating integers]

Well hey, this is the thread for posting random songs we like. I love 'em, personally. Viva la Vida's in my top 5 favourite albums, can't stop listening to it.

EDIT: Also, that song you linked is one of the messiest and most ugly I've ever heard.

Viva La Vida? You mean "If i could Fly" By joe Satriani

On the subject of the song; Its called not being passed through a billion studio filters to take the actual sound out of it. It sounds ugly because Coldplay is essentially the equivalent of over Photoshopped music, no character to it. Perhaps listening to some more live music is in order.

Well hey, there was a lawsuit over the Joe Satriani thing (fun fact: google's spellchecker wants me to correct "Satriani" to "Satanist", maybe it's telling me something). The verdict was coincidence. This youtube comment on the video sums up my thoughts:

I doubt Cold play consciously stole it.
I know that 2 or 3 times now I've come up with a riff that I thought was mine but then later on realized it&#65279; sounded almost exactly or identical to a song I heard before. There's only 12 notes. Shit like this is bound to happen.

I can see a little bit of resemblance in the main riff (though only a little bit), but neither sounds very much like a rip-off to me. What is it with artists people being so paranoid and sue-happy nowadays anyway?

And by the way, I have listened to Live music. Reading Festival 2011 was one of the best experiences I've ever had, Muse are just totally brilliant live (as were Warpaint [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMkqbY0oGKQ], it turned out, despite never having heard of them before). Yet more reason to love them.

Don't get me wrong, though, I like Radiohead. Sometimes. The Bends, OK Computer, Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows are all great - they all provide songs which aren't afraid to involve themselves emotionally, like Street Spirit, Nude, most especially Exit Music (though I would say Coldplay actually top this with things like Amsterdam [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vblNj75hUpM] and especially Easy to Please [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiiOpHEAda4]). And Hail to the Thief is the most successful example of musical atmosphere-building I know of, even greater than OK Computer - it goes beyond "depressing" and actually becomes downright oppressive, which is both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness (I need to be in a rather resilient mood to listen to it). It's just a shame about their other 4 albums, which basically sound (with the odd exception [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAF8D0ugyVk]) like nothingness made into noise to my ears. Except Pablo Honey, which everyone agrees is just crap.

And after all that, the song links in the small wall of text above still make this post on-topic. Cool.

 

[Biodeamon]

[purf]

to quote: The best band most people have never heard of.


(or maybe look for the VEVO version - this here sounds a bit squashed)

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I'm going to challange myself here and not post any Metal or Rock for once:

Spoiler: A Capella

Spoiler: Folk

Spoiler: Soul

Spoiler: Trip-Hop/Downtempo

Spoiler: Ambient

Spoiler: Country

Spoiler: Orchestral

 

[RickyRich]

I've been getting into this type of music quite a bit more recently.

 

[karcentric]

Hermitude! CBF actually linking or embedding anything though, look it up yourselves if you want to know what it sounds like.

 

[Xenowolf]

I'm in the mood for a bit of Aphex Twinn. Would've posted Windowlicker but I dunno if I can get away with posting the music video here...

[itsausernamewhatofit]

I find the proportion of jazz to metal depressing.

Spoiler: Let's fix that

oh new captcha...don't tase me?

 

[AgentNein]

I've been in a shitty pissy mood lately (transmission fell out of my car and I had to pay 150 to get towed home, blach), so naturally Crass is reigning heavily on my playlist:


N' So's Cocksparrer.

 

[Launcelot111]

This song is a little atypical for me, but it's been stuck at the forefront of my head for months now

Spoiler

 

[CrashBang]

My favourite band, Every Time I Die, have just released their stunning new album, Ex Lives. I don't think I'll ever stop listening to it.

These songs are the two extremes of the record: powerful, relentless hardcore and groovy, riff-heavy southern rock.
