I really like . The female vocalist is the deal breaker for most people. You either like or hate her. Museum of Imaginary Animals might be a good starting point. |

Why not for this thread? just because they are popular? (in fact their most innovative album was also the lowest selling BTW) |

they know secrets how to make absolutely "politically correct" music - my sisters like it, my parents like it, I like it, my friends like it; it's infantile and grown-up at one time. They use best inventions in pop music and mildly mix in some inventions from alternative scene. Their work seems to use results of some psychological research on what people like. This is suspicious. |

I'd sooner listen to Air than Venetian Snares or Squarepusher that's fo shore, but I guess that's not the point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, pram! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when i was 14 i heard "mother of pearl" by pram on a mix-cd. i found it the craziest music i ever heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm close to agree with you about squarepusher. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Maybe check out "The White Noise" a quasi electronic psychedelic band from the 60's who ironically do actually sound a little like Air in places, their stuff I would say is unique and perhaps a little over challenging at times. And you'll probably hate me for it but I find Sigor Ros's sound to be fairly unique too. To give you an idea of what I consider to be unique, I work in a record store part time and if anyone comes in and wants something that's like Aphex or like AE or like (insert your own favourite obscuro electronic artist here) it's actually pretty easy to find something that is at least similiar, but if somebody comes in wanting something that's like any of the artists I have mentioned, well that's a different story, there just isn't anything, only approximations, and rough ones at that. |

hey, i prefer air over much electronic music - moon safar is one of my fac albums. not to mention vsnares who sucks deeply imo :) i get what you're saying, and i agree they're awesome at what they do, but the outcome is just too similar to so many other artists eventhough if you give it a better listen you find out that they are very original. i would recommend kid loco to people who would be after something similar to air. i'll also check that pram album and the white nose. cheers! |
||||||||

Kid Loco has elements of Air's sound circa Moon Safari but I for one would be very dissapointed if I took it home expecting another 10 000 hz legend, it just doesn't compare, as I said it would just be a rough approximation, remember Air can get rather deep n dark and fucked up (Wonder Milky Bitch, Virgin Suicides etc) whereas Kid Loco is just "pleasant" quasi easy listening music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, kid loco has quite a variety of stuff as well, for dark stuff you should check out his mix album he did for dj kicks, which is quite possibly my fav dj kicks album. as for 10,000 hz legend - i agree, it does sound completly different to their other work and it is uniqe! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Point taken, I'm only familiar with Kid Loco's first album which I find just "pleasant", no more, no less, certainly not unique but I'll check his mix cd, the only DJ kicks album I really like is the Kruder and Dorfmeister one (again pleasant but not unique) but I've not heard the Loco one. bet it ain't as good as 10 000 hz legend though (which is the album I would refer to as unique, the others are maybe less so, though Walkie Talkie has it's moments) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that dj kicks album sounds nothing like 10.000 HZ tho, it's just very dark so i mentioned it..just so you won't be expecting 10.000 :) as i said, nothing alike that 10.000 hz album comes to mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which was kind of my point, don't worry I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that NOTHING will ever sound like 10 000hz legend unfortunately, unless it's got the name Air stamped on it, oh well! |

if someone came into a record store where i worked at and asked for recommendations related to m83 i could list off a good twenty artist who i think are much much better in their area... of course that's very subjective, and you are more than welcome to disagree... as for m83 being unique... i'm willing to disagree with that statement a lot more vehemently... of course the MBV comparison is somewhat useful, but everyone seems to ignore the fact that this style of drone-rock was not born with MBV, nor did it cease to exist until these new glitch-shoegaze artists came along in the last 2 or 3 years... tolst: those albums are both cool... there is no wrong reynols... only different, peculiar shades of right reynols... |

oh, im getting more for sure, it's a bit hard to get tho :) |

I don't know if you've heard any of his stuff, but i guess i'd say that makes some of the most unique music i've heard. There's so much energy and life in there... really genre-bending stuff, hard to classify. One of my most favouritestststs music men. Both of his albums are absolute corkers, highly recommended. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i really dig quirky pop stuff like that... it's important to balance out all the really abrasive stuff... you should check out Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti if you haven't already... |

maybe you or anyone else have not encountered/would find interesting: current 93 specifically works from the thunder perfect mind album onwards could be to your taste. live albums like halo and all dolled up like christ are very good representations, there are many more though. it has been described as post apocolyptic folk. much to do with belief as i understand it. the song 'a song for douglas after he's dead' i really like and sums up quite well what it all means to me. He crouches on the floor, there's a mask on the wall. And he leafs, through the pages of a book. But wait as he may in the shadow of other leaves. His heart, in embraces to times long since scorched. The horizon folds over, with a purple sun rise. And the wind carries smoke, from a world that is burning. The smoke locks in his hair, and he's covered with patterns. A decent, of life trees, on his camouflaged soul. With a winter of memories, carved powder bone white. Beyond his sculls form, a scorpion lies. In the crunch of the snow, as his darkness increases. A twilight of ice, encircles his teeth. This is a song for Douglas, after he's dead. This is a song for Douglas, his mercury dances. There's a swastika carved, in the palm of his hand. There's a crooked cross, that is caught in his mind. There waits a falling sun, in his eyes. There's the honour, of violence, on his lips. His father waits for him, near the towers of silence. Where they worship the fires, so long ago quenched. Under two willow trees, with el has inverted. The fork of life snapped. They are father and son. So mingling dust, as if life itself, had been mostly illusion. But partially real. And partially pain. And over some wall, if you look through the rubble. Amongst ruins of churches, where life conquers death. Though empires can not last, where blood and soils conquest. The faulted and failed. A cloud still sows teeth. As the world disappears. This is a song for Douglas, after he's dead. This is a song |

sun ra and his intergalactic research arkestra he mixes jazz, traditonal egyptian music and avantgarde experimentation. he also had some philosophical ideas and dissed on the european wordlview and refused to distinguish between body and soul. he saw "the emptiness of teenage life" as a result of wrong western ideas or something like that. anyhow his music is - really - great and unique. it doesnt really have the same effect as other jazz music. the music is only based on jazz. |

"if someone came into a record store where i worked at and asked for recommendations related to m83 i could list off a good twenty artist who i think are much much better in their area..." well do it then... I'm listening |

Oh and to the guy that mentioned "the Streets", surely Chas n Dave came before them, check out "roads" by MC Pitman on his album "Pit Closure" and then see if you can ever listen to the Streets again, IMO they(he) are one of the worst acts around at the moment. |

|
|

||||||||
|
|

of course, I'm here to find out about new and exciting music so a list like that would be worth it's weight in gold, yet to see it yet though. |

Quasimoto How did you come up with the idea of changing into Quasimoto? I was on drugs and I just wanted to do something different. I was in the studio by myself with a gang of beats and I wanted to try something different, with a different voice. I look at my voice as too low, you know what I'm sayin'? People understand it more when I do the Quasimoto stuff. I just did it for myself first and then he [points at PB Wolf] heard it and then shit came out. I just did it for myself, I didn't think people would understand it. But that was one of my best selling records. (laughs) |

i don't have time to go through all six pages of posts, so i don't know if they've been mentioned...but i'd say cLOUDDEAD is nice. especially after hearing Ten. their first album is still the better one. |

I have no idea how Mugison can sound unique to anyone.. When I put it on I got the same cringing feeling I do when I hear something extremely tedious and similar to 10000000 bands out there. As far as my own taste goes, all my favorite artists have their own sound and that's why I like them cuz of their own thing. Autechre - Nothing is alike. Bola - Soup IS unique no matter what anyone says, one of a kind one time record. Beck - Midnite Vultures and Mutations - yay Plaid - They have their own quirky fairytale melodic sound Burial - mm Funckarma - The epitome of "idm" but their production is quite outstanding and very few come close Murcof - Did the cinematic + glitch thing perfectly, he may have been the first Elegi - Sistereis is a very unique masterpiece Hybrid - Morning Sci-Fi - science fiction, a bit cheesy but they pioneered the new breakbeat cinematic thing Orbital - In Sides and Snivilisation are great and unique sounding I guess there is a difference between what YOU have heard before and what is technically unique. |
