The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld has often been called The Sgt. Pepper album of ambient music. I gave it a good listen yesterday and must say that I really think it deserves the position and status it has been given. In other words: a definite classic! A funny term, I must say, "the Sgt. Pepper album of...'insert genre'.." The Beatles' very own Sgt. Pepper album has been called the Citizen Kane of pop music... *lol* Makes me think about other genres' Sgt. Peppers: Punk: Sex Pistols - Never mind the bollocks. Drum and bass: Goldie - Timeless Electronica: Kraftwerk - Computer World Dreampop: Insides - Euphoria Well, thats some suggestions...feel free to bring on some more... (....God, I'm bored!!! and dehydrated and stuck at work and wanting to be ANYWHERE else.....) |

No better choices for ambient? I've always been distinctly unimpressed by the Orb, myself. |

Music For Bondage Performance for the Sgt Pepper of noise? Unless anyone can think of a better one... I'm not as wised up on the genre as I'd really like to be. |

Drum and bass: Goldie - Timeless ** could be but I prefer modus operandi (photek) or even new forms by roni size |
||||||||

Smiley Smile by the Beach Boys was better than Sgt. Pepper, no doubt. Only some of the Lennon tracks, and the Harrison track were any good on that album. Incredibly over-rated album. |

I always prefered Orbus Terrarum. Any of you guys heard the new orb "bicycles and tricycles"? Its pretty good (minus a few boring tunes) and a lot better than cydonia - the tune hell's kitchen is excellent and sounds like something straight off SAW1 |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh...music like The Cocteau Twins...Mazzy Star...MBV...Lovesliescrushing...The Sundays...Chapterhouse...Slowdive...the more etheral kind of shoegazing...even some of Mercury Rev...and Spiritualized. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
is that serious? Dreampop? That sounds so utterly homosexual |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm. how would you define it? i have never heard these groups/artists |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dreampop's the same as shoegaze right??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or is it shoo gays ?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
meaning shoegaze is a genre of music? I am lost. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well...if you are familiar with the 'shoegazer' sound...dream pop is close to that...basically it is highly textured rock guitar based fuzzy noise soundscapes. The melodies are generally melancholy and lyrics are mostly of the sadder kind. The vocals are generally buried deep in the mix... It is not a clear genere...it has influences from slowcore...post-punk and ambient pop. Artists like Low, Mazzy Star and Galaxie 500 can be considered either slowcore or dreampop. For a better idea of the music and the srtists... |

Cool alnuit! Thanks for the info. Sounds interesting enough i suppose i will check out some of these artists. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its called shoegaze cause all the singers did was stand sulkily looking at their feet in a adolescent teenager kinda way, julee cruise (who did stuff on the excellent twin peaks) is another example of this... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this isn't a technical name for a genre though is it? Sounds like something you can up with... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well...it is technical...or about as technical as any genere name is...I mena...honestly...IDM ? :P You can actually go into a store (or atleast back in 1991 you could) and ask for these artsits and trust your record store guy to give it to you. So I guess it is an accepted reference point. |
||||||||
|

I guess dreampop is shoegaze with added electronica. In my view Insides perfected that genre with their euphoria-album, released on the 4ad sisterlabel Guernica in 1993. You should all check out that album, it's pure balm for the soul! |

"slowcore" im speechless |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, we had a thread a while ago all about core genres... all you have to do is add core after anything, and you have a genre! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
en-core........ bwahahahahah! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
