So, I'm looking to make a decent sized order of cds/vinyls soon. I'm stuck at home with a broken collarbone and music is constantly playing. is a list of all the music I own (Not all of it is in the xltronic discography) The latest find I've really gotten into is The Books. Is there any other 'folktronica' type stuff maybe you'd think I'd like? Or even some indie stuff? Also lately I've had a hankering for the old stuff. Black Dog, Bola (well not exactly old, but carries that sound to it), stuff like that. I've been meaning to get some B12. Maybe some ambient stuff. I've been sleeping a lot lately from the medication I'm on. So basically, if anyone feels like it, recommend me some stuff. What are you listening to right now? YEAH! |

if you like the books try out a hawk and a hacksaw! his first (self titled) album for a start perhaps.. |
||||||||

oh, and the last album i got was susumu yokota's new album 'symbol' which is awesome as well..apperantly thom york, brian eno and glass find yokota very interesting..if that's going to help your decision :) |

more luke vibert: - amen andrews (vinyl) - big soup anything by amon tobin/cujo (adventures in foam!). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where's the fun in that? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you ever listened to Big Soup? I find it to be very humorous. Amen Andrews is just mental jungle stuff, but also with typical vibert crazyness. Tobin tends to get a bit serious from time to time.. What's fun about yokota? :P |

You should get Sketchie from the . All so everything on Bully Records, Check the new Elektro4 album on they'r first cd release. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
have a look at TUNNG on static caravan...very beautiful electro-folk thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually bought big soup..not that it answers your question :) but i think i listened to it once quickly.. yeah, yokota is perhaps a bit in the same vein, but i find his music a bit um deeper :D |

*Growing more and more depressed about the musical suggestions that are popping up in the messageboard. Moves into a corner to sulk* |

|
|
hello mr. elitist. won't you please crawl out of your corner and share with us your superior suggestions? oh and redrum: apparently the guy like electronic music. Silly of us to recommend more electronic music! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am not going to suggest anything. Every single time I browse all my files, to think of some albums to suggest to people, nobody ever acknowledges them, even when they are very good suggestions. I would just rather save my energies. Altho, I wouldn't call it elitism. Just differing tastes, and I can't stand practically everything that has been suggested so far. So I am going to go an seep into an even further corner and sulk. |

well now you got me all curious.. |

|

mm how about capitol k - island row. heard that album yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totally. :P it's good to expand one's horizons. there's good music in every genre, i'm quite certain, you just have to look. pigeonholing yourself is doing your life a disservice. and also.. the only reason i posted that was that i couldn't have been arsed thinking of some electronica that he might dig that he doesn't have, so i reccomended that fz thread since i'd just been on it. he doesn't have any Claro Intelecto. I'd reccomend Neurofibro.. can't go wrong. :) [there, that better?] |

Have a listen to some of these |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
apparently you are assuming i do not listen to non-idm music because i recommended idm music. nice one! alberto: good call. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah i was referring to thecurbcreeper :) as in, members of the board expanding his horizons. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
argh. ok. i recommend: the notwist - shrink the notwist - neon golden. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
check Mum for folktronica, "Yesterday Was Dramatic" is their best album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't like the term folktronica :S their second album is also excellent, more solid i think. the 3rd one was ...well, i listened to it about once. i should give it another chance maybe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what would you call it? electronic and folk music combined? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its tacky... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep just like "electronica" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep. Its a name that the establishment made to sell electronic music to candy ravers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer the term ambience to anything, really. Most of the stuff I listen to isn't just pads and drones, but its more mood based than melody or beats. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mum's 3rd album (Summer Made Good) is a lot more minor key, some of the tracks grow on you but it doesn't really reach the same heights as the first two, they work best when their writing happy tunes IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you're feeling really down and can't really do much in the way of movement then try to get hold of any Michael Stearns album and just put it on and play it from start to finish and clear you mind totally of any thoughts. The music is really powerful ambience and it allows you imagination to be unleashed and you can find yourself in a sort of living dream. (kinda like that dream the dude from Fight Club has in the film when he sees the ice caves) its damn amazing katharsis. |

Oh and some of the best old school Bola style ambience resides on the Fax and Recycle or Die labels respectivley. I recommend either of the S.H.A.D.O albums (Fax) or Peter Benisch's Waiting for Snow (Fax) and Ralph Hildenbeutal or Steve Bezet on Recycle or Die. |

alright i've got some searches running in soulseek. thanks for the suggestions :) taxidermist, i'd love to hear some suggestions from you. i guarantee i'll give them a good, honest listen. surely someone who joined a messageboard based around a certain kind of music can't have a gigantic difference in musical taste than all the members here, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so uhm i'm still waiting on that hand hacksaw album from tolystoyed ( i was 320 in line, now i'm under 100) i got some bonobo, which wasn't to my liking. everything else i searched for, no luck. soulseek wasn't good to me today. HEY QRTER IS ONLINE. qrter, would you like to recommend me some music? |
