the good music thread

category: music [glöplog]
I think it was Nutman who said it in the Stockhausen thread, that he loves to share good music. So do I.

I thought why not start a thread based on that. I found new and interesting music from that Stockhausen thread, like Carlos Paredes and Oliver Messianen. Maybe that will happen more through this thread. The idea is to present music that the consuming public is not aware of; lost gems and not the good stuff everybody knows.

Also: if you don't like the music presented in this thread, then keep your mouth shut.

I'll start off with some music from Brazil.

The fantastic singer Elis Regina performs Upa Neguinho, a piece by Edu lobo.

Here's Edu himself, this time performing Luiza with it's composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Hermeto Pascoal's song Slaves Mass mixed with a Maine County fair pig scramble. Suits well.

Youtube has tons of videos about Hermeto doing all sorts of crazy things, like performing with frogs, doing a solo on his beard, using kid's filled water pool as a percussion etc. Although he might be more known of his musical eccentricity, he is also a very interesting and active composer with a musical language of his own.

hempest: i like that first one. A few I like:

Joanna Newsom (not the best of recordings, but try her last album 'Ys')

More classical: Max Richter (all of his albums so far have been great).

the music of moody blues helped me through the difficult nights of lifeforce...

@gargaj: Does edIT still sound the same on all tracks of this album? this is what dissappointed myself back years ago with his release... it was nice and all, but all the time the same manipulations and the same harmonies in his chords, the same arpegios... it was sounding like the same track all along.
@psonice: up for Joanna Newsom though, to me, "Ys" is the best recording.

Here are some of my 2007 releases:
The Tuss - Rushup Edge (acid & breakbeats)
Busdriver - RoadKillOverCoat (rap and poptronica)
Mùm - Go go Smear The Poison Ivy (naive progressive childtronica)
Bogdan - Alright! (lolrave & feelings)
Mira Calix - Eyes Set Against the Sun

Not so bad from 2007:
Modeselektor - Happy Birthday

+ Something I often play and replay:
Jamie Lidell - Multiply
Kind of soulgospel one man project, veryvery allelujah.

Wait, what? It's not like I said pedotronica right?
psonice: in the line of brainfuck numbing female voices, have you checked out jocelyn montgomery and azam ali yet?

@okkie: oh and now that I think about it, it would suit more to call it "progressive folktronica for pedobear"
and considering neo-classic ambient, stars of the lid are touring europe right now, saw them live in lisbon a few days ago, was fucking great, i recomend it to everyone and their mothers.

Awww fuck, I wish I could see that indeed.
Did I told you filipe I saw Svarte Greiner last 2 minutes of a live session.. it was great :p
kaneel: i brought svarte greiner to play in portugal :D
also, instead of listening to aphex leftovers in the tuss, check out this porject called seven ark. you'll like it :) and venetian snares' latest masterpiece: my downfall ost, fucking great, very close to ross cilag in some senses.

added on the 2007-12-11 17:07:17 by psenough psenough
dude come on, this is not bad leftovers at all, some tracks on this release have magis inside :)
But yeah, will check seven ark.

Ho and don't forget the netlabels:
http://www.camomillemusic.com has a 44 tracks free compilation (including kaneel with UNTZ, ilkae, hunz, khonnor, muhr and much much more)

http://www.petitejolie.com has a niiiiice (:D) 14 tracks free compilation featuring -again- kaneel (:D), makunouchi bento, vim and much more!
due to hempest's request i didnt mention the adjective bad anywhere when refering to the tuss, but to be honest i didnt find it very inspired nor inspiring.

and if we're plugging our netlabels i have this to say:
enough is enough

Hey... it was not MY netlabels (.... lalalalala I don't hear you)
kaneel: Ys is a good recording, I meant the youtube link to her playing live was a bad one :)

PS: not tried either, and I won't be doing so for a while. I realised a while back that I had around 20gb of mp3 piled up and waiting to be checked out, so I'm not getting into anything new until that lot is cleared. 5.6gb left.. :) I'll check out both though in a month or two.
added on the 2007-12-11 17:50:37 by psonice psonice
Ah yeah of course :)
I got a nice video of her and the "Ys Band" live, I think you can torrent it somewhere if you haven't already watched it!
ooooh, i'll have a look for that tonight :)
