raz0rblade's link to that mp3 search engine made me realise that i don't really know what music i want. i am in a country now where music is more readily available so i'm wondering what's good out there? this a troublesome question because all of you have a different idea of what constitutes good music. for the past while i've been listening to much of the same music. it's safe to say i have a fair obsession with stereolab and the magnetic fields (earlier stuff). i really dig kraftwerk's style, i listen to them a lot. please recommend me something. i suppose i like stereolab so much because they make use of and combine different elements of music i like. i'm a fan of the melody, i like the guitar, i dig a good beat, and some harmonius vocals. i like the magnetic fields vocals because it's nice and deep. i also like my bloody valentine and sonic youth. please help me i'm stuck. |

||||||||
|
|

|
|
yes! and one. i think the album is slightly more intelligent though, though still more dance than idm 'blue eyez' is my fav track of the moment |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blue eyez is totally dub |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really, makes you wonder why the genre isn't call nu-dub |
||||||||
|
|

I would recommend labels instead: Strange Life Records Frustrated Funk |
||||||||

thanks guys. i guess what i should have said was that i'm looking for something epic and timeless. something that reaches deep down into your gut pulling out your insides. it's painful but alright because the music is good. |
||||||||

|
you shouldn't get any music. don't fall for the consumer-trap! don't! |
||||||||
|

it's funny you should say that. i was just at hmv and decided to go all out and get another stereolab album "fab four suture" and the incredibly weird guy said "enjoy your product" after i paid for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was he a robot? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he sure acted like one. he also asked (like a robot) "did you find everything you were looking for at HMV?". I said no, I wasn't looking for anything specific, just browsing in general. he then replied with "that is good, sir. please insert your card." |

i've listened to 'fab four suture' about four times now and i can safely say that it is the shit. the bass sound on this is really good. there seems to be a nice element of 70s funk on this one. aanndd, while it sounds distinctly stereolab, it doesn't sound like anything else they've done. oh so sweet. <3 !! |

yeah isn't 'excursions into oh, a-oh amazing'? it seems like most people i talk to dislike the kyberneticka babicka tunes but i love em. they could go on forever and that'd be great. i wasn't sure what would happen after mary hansen died and i dont think i've ever really listened to margarine eclipse all the way through but i really think fab four suture is a great album. |

oh, a oh' |

|
|
you have dots and loops? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, there are many i don't have, including emperor tomato ketchup which is supposedly their most famous one. i really love 'margerine eclipse'. it's full of really delicious 'hits'. i wasn't so crazy about it at first, but it really grew on me after a while. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really, really recommend dots and loops! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool, i'll probably get that too if i can find it. |
||||||||

if you haven't heard anything by electrelane then do so, the power out and oxes are both great, if you like stereolab you will like them. check salaryman, nought, radian, rachels, you might like signaldrift as well... talk talk - spirit of eden is essential if you don't have it already, satanicpornocultshop are great and mad, some dntel stuff maybe if you like more song-ish electronics. can't be arsed thinking any of any more |

learn to use the wonders of the internet to find music you'll like. things like allmusic.com, wikipedia, last.fm, and pandora are godsends to those in search of new media. i'd reccomend some music of my own but it doesnt seem like we have very similar tastes so i'll leave that up to others who have a been sense sense of what you'll like. |

LOOK ALL IM SAYING IS IF YOU LIKE STEREOLAB, DOTS AND LOOPS IS A MUST. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i often find the "if you like this then you will that" connections on sites are inaccurate. i never agree with them. don't you worry rad smiles, dots and loops is now on my stereolab priority list, which really is my general priority list. and thanks belb, i will definitly look for those names! |

also: Sean O'Hagan- who has done a whole lot of Stereolab's arrangements/production/added instrumentation- has some band called the High Llamas which is very hit or miss but enjoyable. |
