Help me find some good music Please !!

MarcusGarvey

My music collection at home is big enough but I am bored with it now. Are there any good bands out there that are doing innovative bits of music ?

I am sick of all these slightly indy guitar bands that to me all sound the same. I want something fresh. I don't care what genre it is once its not pop.

Electronica, HipHop, Metal or any other type once its refreshing is good for me.

All I seem to be doing lately is playing Sigur Ros, Boards of Canada, Radiohead , Dead Prez, various bits of french hiphop with the odd bit of Nailbomb thrown in to stir things up.

I didn't think I'd say it but the 9000 mp3s on this computer are not keeping me entertained anymore.

Mountain Men Anonymous are quite good for a bit of post-rock and the angel of the universe soundtrack (ok so i know it features Sigur Ros but there is some good stuff on it)

cheers

By looking at the list of music you're listening to I can see why your bored of it.

For new stuff, check out:
Slash's Snakepit - Ain't Life Grand

To be honest there isn't much else that's come out recently in my opinion that has been very original.

Go back and listen to some old stuff.

Karl Hungus

Try Sulpher... They're ****ing brilliant.

Unfortunatly... Their debut album isn't gonna be out for at least another month.
But, you can check them out at: www.mp3.com/sulpher

Really great industrial band, pretty original.

Killing Miranda are also great, I'd reconmend them. I got their album in Tower.
Wierd gothic/industrial metal band. Very good, and pretty varied.


And I really can't say enough good things about Opeth. Get their new album Blackwater park.
It's extremely inteligent and complex music though, so don't expect to like it on first listen.
Took me quite a bit to get into.

Any tool album but especially "Aenima", you will never need to buy another album again.


Nobody is reinventing the guitar at the moment but there is alot of good stuff at the moment. Rammsteins' "Mutter" is another album that is well worth your investment.

If you are after innovative stuff track down Trans-Siberian Orchestra "Beethovens Last Night" is well worth a listen and they do some classic rock epics on christmas songs on earlier albums "Christmas Eve"

Next time you are asking for new music at least be more specific

Agreed, thats a fantastic album.

Monkey

Electronica - Sex, Mum

HipHop - Creative Controle

If you haven't already have a look at Leftfield, The Beta Band, NPB, Frank Zappa, Badly Drawn Boy, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed

Chowmein

Rage against the Machine are ****ing good, first album (which is self titled) is probly the best. Battle of Los Angeles would be next and Renagades is a just covers of some pritty good songs.

Dave

Rammstein - Sehensucht

is quite good also, although not as good as mutter

I've also become quite partial to Feeder as of late and (imo) SuperGrass are well worth a look at too.

MarcusGarvey

Okay, keep em coming.

Already have heard Tool, RATM, Slashs Snakepit

Some of the suggestions sound good. I'll try the Goth stuff cos I'm polite and will give anyone a chance...

GoneShootin

Metal

well, more hard rock, but of course i will recommend AC/DC

and this is why

WhiteWashMan

jason downs
i monster
primus
undertones
dandy warhols
infectious grooves
beastie boys
listen to the radio
listen to classical music
get a few audio novels
go out and play football
blur
mulon rougue soundtrack

NeRb666

Get something from Opeth's Blackwater Park album....I'd recommend teh song "The Drapery Falls"

Cake Fiend

Nightmares On Wax - Carboot Soul
Air - anything
Groove Armada - Vertigo (GCHN isn't bad either)
Orbital - The Altogether
One Minute Silence - Buy Now Saved Later
The Avalanches - Since I Left You
The Presidents of the USA - anything

_CreeD_

Summat a wee bit mellow and different, try Mandalay, Lamb or This Mortal Coil.

Of course if you're REALLY daring...

MarcusGarvey

Thanks for everything so far, many of the suggested bands/people I have already but theres some new stuff too. I'll be busy Wedn at my minimum wage job downloading sample mp3s of all these artists.

Keep em commin

Rhine

The White Stripes - Old Skoooool Rock N Roll

Dont be at yourself

Nada Surf - the best band since the Pixies imho

Pugwash

good music eh?

well i have to say that the Hive's latest album[though it is a compilation of previous work] is really good

sell your granny if you have to, to get a copy of the strokes debut album.

Radiohead's OK Computer album is still my favourite CD.

the revolver album by the Beatles is how all music sould be:innovative, articulate and sound great decades after completion.

have a look-see for yourself on audiogalaxy.com

eclectichoney

Fugazi, Red House painters, the Fieldmice, Billy Mahonie, Preston school of industry, Hood, Woodbine...but you've probably heard of all those already.....

Karl Hungus

I find this a little funny really...
Marcus here is looking for some new and interesting stuff, and people are coming up with some of the most blatantly obvious suggestions!

Rhine

Cephalic Carnage - Crazy Grindcore with a hint of Jazz
I love this band

screamager

try Candira, they're hardcore mixed with hip-hop and jazz, really good.
the Silver Ginger 5 album sounds pretty good of what i've heard of it.
Clutch do a good auld rock noise aswell.

hehehe good choice

try some Zyklon (the band...not the gas), brutal death metal with a hint of Frank Sinatra

Winning Hand

Angelwhore, if you get the chance see Rammstein live. They blow everyone else out of the water.

Also check out their video for "Ich Will", bit unPC at the moment but it kicks ass.

Incidentially Marcus if you havent yet bought Mike Oldfields Tubular Bells II you really are missing out.

Aye, Zyklon are class. I was just listening to them again over the last couple of days.
Thought it was more technical death/black metal.

MarcusGarvey

Righto downloading some of the recommendations now. Gotta love the unused 20mb line here.

So far theres some good tunes, have to say though that I don't like the Opeth type music at all.

Seriously... Give it time.
I hated it at first. But once you get into it, it's simply unbeleivable.

Yurmasyurda

Well, below is some sketchings of what's to become rockish songs, you can have a listen if you'd like to hear something different

www.dyingalive.com

Enjoy!

PS. The song "Fade" is about the couple that died in louth, if you're into emotional type songs.

Yurmasyurda lo m8, how did you record those songs of yours??

Hey Adren! Just a microphone, acoustic guitar and musicmatch, very basic I know, but ya gotta start somewhere oh and I used Audacity for effects on "Why" at the end.

Yurma

PS. Why? Are you a singer/songwriter too?

marauder

System Of A Down

MarcusGarvey

Okay,
SO far I've listened to:
Ugly Duckling
NTM
IAM
System of A Down
DJ Premier
Turin Brakes
more Sigur Ros
Angels of the Universe OST
Nada Surf
Beta Band
Opeth
Jedi Mind Tricks
and the new Slash Album

Theres some good stuff in that lot and going through it will keep me happy for another while.

Cheers !

PiE

Frank Black, Millencolin and Godspeed You Black Emperor for some 20minute opus' :]

Brautigan

Ah feck it, you've gotta try some Pink Floyd man. Start with Obscured By Clouds and take it from there... Avoid The Wall though, pretentious muck...

cournioni

Try some Swedish metal like At the Gates, The Haunted, In Flames or some stuff like that.

EL_Diablo

Could be some repeats here but here goes: System of a down, Mudvayne, Linkin park, Feeder, Drowning pool, 3 doors down, Guano apes, Rage against the machine, Rammstein, and there's one band whos stuff i can't geta hold of despite trying a lot. I've been told that they are really good it's either Mad market capsules or Mad capsule markets. They're a Japanese industrial punk band. If anyone knows where i can get some plz post and tell me.

Uphamizer

P.O.D are quite good at the mo, not very recognised tho.

EL_Diablo

Just a follow up to my last reply. I have found some music by the mad capsule markets. I got it on Kazaa, had a listen and I must say I was absolutely blown away by the quality of it. It's like nothing I've ever heard before and I love it! I could try to compare it to someone elses style but i think that it would take away from this masterful work. If you like fairly heavy,good quality music GET THIS NOW!!!! I oarticularly recommend the song Midi Surf. Well i've said my praises now so i'm gonna stop typing........Now.Oh wait thats typing, oh crap i did it again.

Makaveli

In the line of hip-hop try:
Roots Manuva
DJ Shadow
Jurassic 5
Dilated Peoples
Talib Kweli
Mos Def
Gangstar
Latyrx
Blackalicious
The Pharcyde
Gza (anything off the Liquid Swords album. Try Shadow Boxin', Liquid Swords, 4th chamber)
De La Soul are worth checking out too

other stuff I dunno Mauro Picotto is pretty good I guess, I dont really know all that much about music other than hip-hop

Tazz T

Try Archenemy 'Burning Bridges' or if you can get it the new import 'Wages of Sin'. Pornapster and Angelwhore - you'll love it too.
