No Knife Party remixes? I'm mightily disappoint!Lionsfan said:
At the moment I'm listening almost too much to The National, First Aid Kit, Tallest Man on Earth, Knife Party and Skrillex.
So yeah, Indie-Rock, folk and Dubstep. Swell.
Marnie Stern. She is the greatest guitarist. She writes good songs. All you metalheads who would rebut with Herman Li or some asshole from Nightwish or something, please stop. Marnie Stern. This debate is over as far as I'm concerned.
It's funny that I saw this thread, because I spent basically all of yesterday listening to the Dead Kennedys. Wonderfully satirical, and with a great surfer guitar vibe.
Also, I always forget that I love Diablo Swing Orchestra until someone reminds me they exist. So, thanks.

My current music fixation revolves around around two things.
First, an almost unhealthy obsession with video game and movie soundtracks. Most notably, anything by Kelly Bailey, Jesper Kyd, Paul Ruskay, Jeehun Hwang, Grant Kirkhope, Mike Morasky, Hans Zimmer, and John Murphy.
Second, I have recently rediscovered my absolute love of all things Junkie XL, Deadmau5, Massive Attack, and Niyaz. Samples to follow:

Picking just two songs doesn't do this artist justice. He's produced for other artists, done film, TV, commercial, and game soundtracks, all while composing and producing his own albums. His music spans a wide range of styles and genres. So I've picked two drastically different tracks to emphasize that point. The first being a track he did for Saints Row: The Third
The second is from one of his introspective albums titled Today. The song's called Honey and I think it's a beautiful track.

Deadmau5 is what real dub-step artists are like. Genuinely musically talented. Unlike some 'artists' that are popular today. *cough*Skillex*cough*
This is Ghosts N Stuff. It's one of his more famous tracks.
This is, as far as I know, an unfinished, unreleased track. Still, I love it.

I'm pretty sure most of you will know who Massive Attack is. As such, I'm not going to post Teardrop. I'll post some other songs people may not have heard.
This is Inertia Creeps.
And this is Angel.
I was going to link Paradise Circus, but then I remembered I actually prefer Gui Boratto's remix of that song. It's just inspired.

Niyaz is a Persian-influenced collaborative group comprised of three people. The hauntingly amazing vocalist Azam Ali, the classically trained instrumentalist Loga Ramin Torkian, and producer/remixer Carmen Rizzo. Their music is a cross between 'world' music and electronic.
This first song is called Ishq, or Love and the Veil.
This one is called Minara.

The past few days I have been listening to a lot of Ana Tijoux who is a Spanish language hip-hop musician and she released a 2nd album just a couple of weeks ago.
but I have also been really into The Phenomenal Handclap Band for some groove heavy indie music

I've been on a Pennywise binge lately. I've owned the albums for years yet I've been going full throttle recently.
Sick! Also, Opeth shirts tend to be notorious for shrinking.5-0 said:Ghost Reveries is immense. I recently got the Special Edition 5.1 mix as a late Christmas present. It was bloody hard to find. Just Watershed to get now and my Opeth special edition collection will be complete! I've also got a Blackwater Park shirt, but I've worn the shit out of it and now it seems to have shrunk
Did not know there was a new Swallow the Sun album, gotta check this out.
Depends, just went through a miracle of sound phase for a few weeks. Now diving into some Heidevolk. I still jump around a bit depending on my modd but those two dominate my listening time.

I plan to delve into their earlier work, 'Syd-era', so I will give those a listen next. And do you mind the swim to New ZealandLumber Barber said:....Take me with you!
I really recommend that you try out the less-famous albums, Meddle and Atom Heart Mother. They have some very interesting songs. Listening to One of These Days, Echoes and Atom Heart Mother gives me the chills every time.
OT
?
Miracle of Sound is currently being replayed over and over and over and...yeah, I don't remember the last time I didn't have "Normandy" or "Wheatly's Song" on replay.
Ever since it came out, I have been spamming Enter Shikari new album, "A Flash Flood of Colour" all day long. I love these guys.
