please recommend some artists you find unique, and maybe write a little something about their sound :) much appreciated! i was listening to solex's last album today and i find it pretty unique and awesome, so maybe that would be my recommendation :) or perhaps arthur russell's 'world of echo'. |

||||||||
|

theyre not electronic, but you didnt say electronic only, so you should check out gruvis malt. theyre a real funky jazz/rock/hiphop band and theyve got a great sound unique to themselves. |
||||||||
|

i think THE THE's music is pretty unique : some kind of pop/rock songs ; but it's difficult to explian ; listen to "Mind Bomb" and you'll see what i mean |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that the guy who did the score for amelie poulain? that was quite awesome! headphukkerr, neither of those i mentioned is electronic so i suppose it doesn't matter what kind of music is it as long as it sounds good and unique :) combo, i'll check that as well, cheers! |

you should listen to solex' first album. all of her work is nice, but that one is just great. |
||||||||

1. joanna newsom: strident girl singing + arp. nice! 2. analord (but you maybe already know that...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll do that..you know the title perhaps? :) (im too lazy to look hehe) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"solex vs. the hitmeister". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
joanna newsom is awesome, yeah! earthleakage, actually i think you'd be surprised that some of them are very good. solex being one of them! |
||||||||

thanks. |

is there really something you dont know!?!?!? |

|

Esbjørn Svensson Trio... not really as unique as they could be, but they're combinig very traditional (not as in conventional, but as in folk-music-like..) jazz with more modern things. It's hard to find something truly unique in these days... my cousin: |

|
most of einstürzende neubauten's stuff seems pretty unique to me. |
||||||||
|

Eyeless in Gaza- Pale Hands I Loved so Well. They kind of remind me of Talk Talk, mood-wise, but more exotic. This album is mostly Gothy ambient with lots of organs and weird world-music sounds, but the guy's voice (and most of their other music) fits into dark new wave or something. See I don't even know how to describe it coherently. And Tuxedomoon's first few albums. Tuxedomoon in particular is something I can't find a suitable replacement for. |

oooh! you shoudl also check out manu chao. hes a great latin solo artist with alot of goodness. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean french, right? :) although he sings in spanish, right. he's quite alright yeah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hes french? id just assumed since he was singing in spanish.... yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate manu chaos music. but he is a good person. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tolstoyed, you might check out Mahavishnu Orchestra if you haven't heard them yet... it's jazz-rock/fusion stuff. they were a truly unique and amazing band, way ahead of their time. still sound so fresh and inspired. i'd recommend two albums - The Inner Mounting Flame and Birds Of Fire. awesome musicianship, great stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks, i found them both :) ophecks & drunken mastah, thank you both as well, i'll be getting that! |
||||||||

daft punk have quite a unique sound :) |

Tortoise Very nostalgic melodies (in the same vein as BOC but different) basically a rock band with electronics. Very diverse and unique. They kick major ass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
benge: electro-orgoustic-music (expanding records) ambient, couldn't describe more, a very special record to me. very unique: pink floyd's piper at the gates of dawn, the best pf release ever and indeed the most underrated! esp continent: mars is a ten. if you can find this, i want a copy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
toirtoise imo has nothing to do with boc, which i find unoriginal and boring. tortoise use a lot of acoustic instruments and real playing, jazz influences (all sorts of influences) their sound is very rich and diverse, and very well produced (speaking of TNT, top album). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tortoise aren't quite my thing im affraid, nor do i find them real unique. thanks tho! :) yann_g, i hope i can find those :) |
||||||||

manu chao is hardly unique. or any good, for that matter. pretty dreadful, really. captain beefheart is unique. but you probably already have listened to his music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just had to pop in the Esbjørn Svensson - Winter in Venice (I recommend Seven Days of Falling and From gagarins point of view fist!), and I noticed that my disc is broken (DAMN!), but the cd-player made a remix that made it sound like REALLY unique music... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed i have, quite nice too. as for manu chao, i really liked couple of his songs, but i never bought any of his records. btw, i downloaded that first solex album and so far it's awesome, although i must say that i kinda like her last a bit more i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm. I like the first more because she doesn't try to hide the fact she uses samples in that one - it all sounds like raggedy loops spliced together. I like that sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i only heard 3 songs for now..must say that the 4th one sounds way better already :) i lobe that blues guitar sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've checked quite a bit of those recomendations so far, well, as much as i could found so far, but you can do better than that, come on, something unique!! please :) |

you should check out the ozric tentacles. truly unique. appalingly underrated. info: A band from another time, Ozric Tentacles served as the bridge from '70s cosmic rock to the organic dance and festival culture which came back into fashion during the '90s. Formed in 1983 with a debt to jazz fusion as well as space rock, the band originally included guitarist Ed Wynne, drummer Nick Van Gelder, keyboard player Joie Hinton, bassist Roly Wynne and second guitarist Gavin Griffiths (though Griffiths left in 1984). The Ozrics played in clubs around London, meanwhile releasing six cassette-only albums beginning with 1984's Erpsongs. (All six were later collected on the Vitamin Enhanced box set, despite a threatened lawsuit from the Kellogg's cereal company for questionable artwork.) In 1987, Merv Pepler replaced Van Gelder, and synthesizer player Steve Everett was also added. Ozric Tentacles' first major release, the 1990 album Erpland, foreshadowed the crusty movement, a British parallel to America's hippy movement of the '60s. Crusties borrowed the hippies' organic dress plus the cosmic thinking of new agers, and spent most of their time traveling around England to various festivals and outdoor gatherings. The movement fit in perfectly with bands like Ozric Tentacles and the Levellers, and the Ozrics' 1991 album Strangeitude became their biggest seller yet, occasioning a U.S. contract with Capitol. After the British-only Afterswish and Live Underslunky, 1993's Jurassic Shift hit number 11 on the British charts — quite a feat for a self-produced album released on the Ozrics' own Dovetail label. The album was released in America by I.R.S. Records, as was 1994's Arborescence. Neither album translated well with American audiences — despite the band's first U.S. tour in 1994 — and Ozric Tentacles returned to its Dovetail label for 1995's Become the Other. Waterfall Cities closed out the decade in 1999, and the following summer the group resurfaced with Swirly Termination. Hinton and Pepler also perform |

trance-techno outfit Eat Static, and have released several albums on Planet Dog Records. Ozric Tentacles surfaced in 2000 to release Hidden Step, followed by the EP Pyramidion. In 2002, Live at the Pongmasters Ball came out on both CD and DVD, making it their first venture into the latter. check the album 'erpland' and listen to eternal wheel before anything else. |

you are hard to please ;) |

you think? it's just that i hear to much of same stuff over and over again, and it's begining to bore me :) thanks chambre! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're an awkward bugger arent you? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably, yes..but i would really like to hear some stuff that is uniqe but stands out musically at the same time. for instance, take 'medulla', it's supposed to be something different but it doesn't stand out in any way for me..same goes for a lot of recommendations in this thread im affraid :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i don't like listening to obscure music just for its own sake, unless i actually enjoy it, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here. that is why it must be unique AND good :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
something unique that isn't so wacked out it will scare anyone away... hrm... i think i may have mentioned Reynols in the rocke threade... but i'll do it again right here... they're fucked... even if you don't like the music, i highly recommend tracking down that they've done.... i know i definitely mentioned Volcano the Bear, but i can't remember if you ever checked them out... they also rule muchly... give the Idea of Wood or Mountains Among Us, or 500 Boy Piano a listen if you haven't... ... also: HNAS they are fucked... a bit like Einsturzende only i think i like them more... not to knock einsturzende... |
