There, I narrowed it down to 5 lol. Have been listening to this all day.

Nice nice nice! You got me hooked way back when, I know how addictive it can be lol.

Aww yeah Kaere :) Glad you likey. Nice warm vibes with this label's artists/music. Bought & downloaded a bunch of their compilations and can't get enough of it.

Came back to the thread to change/switch up a song from the above, but I'll just throw it on the pile here. Couple actually.

Officially disappointed there are no dancing bananas on the smilies list. Had my heart set on a dancing banana for this post.

If you read this and listen to any of the songs, please do me a favor and imagine a dancing banana smiley while enjoying the music. Make sure he dances in time, too. Gracias.

I'm off to lodge a complaint into the forum suggestion box expressing my outrage at the lack of one of the most basic of staple smilies that is the dancing banana. How do you not have a dancing banana. I remember back in the early 00's, a person could depend on places having a dancin' banana. Those days are gone now, might as well face it.

How's this one Deus?

Hey thank you Hope, you're close. Not the traditional dancing banana I was thinking of, but it is a dancing smiley so that works. :)

Looks like I'll have to import my dancing bananas from elsewhere in future, hrmm. Thanks a lot SF... not!

Here's some Henry Saiz who I'm a big fan of. First couple are from his Reality Addendum LP which was just released.

Here we go!

It was the only smiley on hand...lol

I loved the first tune, reminded me of flamenco so I looked him up. Yes... the Spanish temperament shines through. Very nice.

love trentemoller. miss you is in my top 5 fave songs of all time.

Hope - Yeah some good Spanish house producers out there these these days, glad you enjoyed it.

Annabelle - That seems to be his most popular, great tune for sure.

Some uplifting slash emo house tracks I am partial to;

Yo, there's some good stuff in here.
Good work, people.

Thanks for the kind words LibbyScorp :smile: (I'll accept the compliment on behalf of everyone's that posted songs.) Please feel free to add anything you might fancy here as well.

Recent artist that I've liked pretty much everything I've heard from, Kassey Voorn (lot of house dj's and producers with the last name Voorn it seems, for some reason.)

I've loved (some) electronic music ever since the first synths began showing up on records by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Who , and of course one of the seminal groups: Tangerine Dream . After I found Bill Nelson in 1995 I saw (and heard!:wink: ) that he had been something of an experimental/electronica pioneer (along with duties as a minor rock diety).
I could go on , and I will add that I have a bit of my own music up on

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defa...&content=music

some work I did with Arp X8 arpeggiator software and a Korg rack synth . Strictly for fun .

Oh, also some beautiful work by a departed friend on soundclick: The Shed Man , and also his other page Graeme Cammack , may he rest in space.

Anyway , a few favorites :

Fripp & Eno 'Evening Star' cd

You read my mind, Dar!

I was intending to PM you about which Bill Nelson CD might have his most digital music. At this moment in time I have little to no interest in rock bands, the unplugged sound, etc.
My musical tastes are mainly digital produced in MIDI format (aka electronic music).

I would listen to Steve Hillage way back in my teens and thought he was one of the most exciting guitarist ever. Nowadays his guitar sound is minimal, devoting most of his time in computer music - the Digital Audio Workstation.
I have great respect for the man who has adapted to modern music and can still produce exciting, original, and innovating sounds.

So I'm now interested to know if Bill Nelson has done much computer music ?

(My internet credit is very low and youtube videos will drain what's left. I'll return to this thread next week.)

Cheers

You might like my stuff (maybe even some of the acoustic guitar stuff that has mutant sound effects on it) . The Arp X8 is an automated midi sequence generator that can do up to 8 channels at once. I spend time setting the individual patterns up and matching them to a patch (sound) on the Korg, and then let it rip : 8 tracks going with one touch of the midi keyboard .
Those are all several years old .


Anyway , the best thing is to just burn some compilations of Bill's stuff and mail them to you , assuming you have a cd player . Or maybe I could email
mp3 files. CD's would be easier . Much of his best work is guitar based , but don't let that detract from it's beauty.
Much is drenched in strange noises you aren't sure where they're coming from , and the EBow sounds from guitar are
stunning . He's been a 'one man band' for decades but only plays guitar as an actual instrument; otherwise it's all digital or midi .
He says all his bass playing is midi keyboard , and all his drums are samples. The richest palette of sounds around .

Thanks Dar & thistle for dropping by the thread. :)

Love Dead Can Dance, am an Ulrich Schnauss fan and have a Vibrasphere album which I enjoy; also have some Tangerine Dream that comes up on shuffle every so that i inherited though otherwise haven't taken the time to listen to though I know they're old school, did the music to the movie Legend which i do remember. Very enchanting and atmospheric, suited that movie perfectly.

Eno obviously though I tend to like more the bands etc. he works with though he has some great tunes also of course. Sphongle I've heard of lots but never got into for whatever reason.

Haven't heard of Bill Nelson though you two talking him up has convinced me to check him out. I'm also interested to hear your music Dar (and your friend's).

So I'll be back. I'll bring songs with me too next post.

I recommend the two albums by Moderat. They're are excellent.

I'm a huge electronica fan...recognize a lot of music people have put up.
My favorite band of all time is SoundTribe Sector Nine...STS9...Have been seeing them since 2000..and their shows are like a dream...esp. when they were still small...2000-2004..

Ahh what great shows..Here is a sample of their vibe..I'd always feel like exploding after one of their shows. They are true musicians/artists.

*Well-won't let me post the URLs even though I have more than 15 posts...It'll have to blow your mind later..:wink:

They play instruments but weave in the loops...etc...amazing to watch

*I didn't plow through the whole thread yet...somebody maybe already knows about them...If so, good for them..:tongue:

If you care to...look up...STS9 - Ramone & Emiglio into Eb.. Groove TV

Early stuff-just amazing...by far the best shows I've seen...and that's quite a bit indeed

Love these both...and this in particular from Shpongle...although it's an Ott remix...does it great justice..The video is amazing as well


Shpongle - Around The World In A Tea Daze [Ott Remix] (Unofficial HD Music Video)

*I'll be back when it'll let me post URL's

Just listened to a bit of STS9 and thought WOW! Thanks for the heads up. I'm off to Amazon.....

Just bought Artifact. Can you recommend their best albums?

Ott is one opf the big dogs, in my opinion ! :cool:
He put out a great cd a couple years ago; I have it but forgot the title.
Here's 'Squirrel & Biscuits ' from it (don't miss the 2nd half ! from 3:47 on :icon_eek: :D )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRa42_X8xoY

I've had the one you noted for a while .... good stuff !
I do like STS9; hadn't heard of them. Nice to see rock
and electronic together , updated. So much of the hard trance,goa, psych just annoys me , and I don't like house , so I have trouble finding what works for me .

My grandson (15) was obsessed with Dubstep last year , and I like some of that because it's basically updated reggae/dub music, but he didn't know that.

Old school Kitaro: Morning Prayer , a fave for over 25 years :smile:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O20E6**2bk4

Sound Tribe Sector 9 is a really unique group. Can't recall exactly where I came across them or what they sound like so much, but it made an impression on me as being quality, highly original and novel stuff.

Dar interesting songs, do you play the guitar in those yourself? Your late friends music is interesting too, I like it. Builds nicely, reminds me a bit of Hybrid for some reason.

It boggles my mind why people don't like house, but another guy I was hanging out with awhile back was completely anti-house too. Different strokes i suppose, which is fair enough. Lot of house is boring and repetitive, but I always enjoy dancing to good house, breaks, dnb or anything with some groove or funk to it.

Plenty of trance I do enjoy but usually find it hard to dance to for whatever reason.

As luck would have it I came here to post some house tunes, lol.

Anyways, thanks for the replies all, love to hear some new music. Have yet to check out Bill Nelson so that's next on my music forums threads to do list.

Gunnar Stiller - Way to Wollongong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xZScJZXQ0Y Dauwd - And https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YtCwxHYG3g

Artifact is a great one...Offered Schematics Suggesting Peace is amazing..has some of the classics that show lovers want to see when they go to a show..

Now they are more of a banger/midi sound...still do those songs though. The bass player left which was somewhat of a lynch pin...wow..when that bass is turned up...so good..

First album...completely insane..I cant believe they are playing that stuff w/looping in all the electronics..they do this live...WHILE they are playing instruments..transitions are incredible.

Seasons 1/2..as well...

Peaceblaster...has good moments, but a little meh...as well as When The Dust Settles...those are later albums.

If you want a playlist of seeing any of this stuff live..good clips- in other words.. check out my playlist..My name is soundtribejunkie on youtube. There's nothing like seeing them live.
......... well...still won't let me post links even though I've had more than 15 posts.. :confused:

That Ott track is crunchy indeed...I went through a huge trance/house phase-more of the stuff I liked was Sasha/Digweed/Oakenfold-saw those too :tongue:

Dubstep can get a little much when it's not used right..Somebody I'm into listening to right now is Grammatik...sooo talented...damn..wish I could post a link...grrr...anyway...he uses SOME...he just slips it in there..ha..He uses lots of samples..motown-ish...hip-hoppy sound-and with amazing drops. Check out the Best Of Grammatik on YT...The album cover with a guy that looks like Jerry Garcia smoking a big joint...also there are many full albums on there of his to listen to..

When I clicked the above URL it gave me an error-saying it doesn't exist..ha...I'll look it up :)


Hybrid is pretty intense...like Justice to me. If you like the Dnb stuff-check out the earliest STS9 albums...that's what they started off as/heavily influenced. Drummer is amazing.

Love talking about all this music I love...not too many people get it. -_-


Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ***.
~Frank Zappa


He's another favorite-Could always count on him saying exactly what he meant..haha.

Big Sasha fan, saw him and Digweed on their Northern Exposure tour years ago and Sasha's set hit all the right notes. Had me moving for sure. Suppose it can be a fine line b/t house and trance, or a bpm or two. Airdrawndagger is a great Sasha album and I still even quite enjoy what he's producing these days.

As for Hybrid, yeah I could see that. Case in point I sent the album Soundsystem 01 to a friend of mine and apparently (allegedly) he had a ufo sighting at a peak moment in the album while listening to it and having a smoke outside.

Love Wider Angle and that album quite a bit. Here is the full album in question, highly recommended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDSRAUoQ9p0

No guarantees to see ufo's while listening lol, it's never worked for me anyways, not that I've attempted listening to it in that capacity with that in mind.

Has some Lisa Gerrard in there and quite a few other choice tracks, it's a continuous mix album of other artist's tracks. Find it a curious coincidence that he saw a ufo while listening to a 'Hybrid' album. Seems appropriate.

Hernan Cattaneo & Danny Tenaglia are releasing new mixes soon, plus there is a new mix from GU - Hamburg - by Solomun too.

Yes..saw them @ Bonnaroo in '07...played until 5am :tongue: I was exhausted...and we camped in BFE...NOT a good walk back..ha...some guy offered us pizza...haha..too tired to even eat it

Sasha's website used to have a mixer on it that was fun to play with..

And yes...appropriate..an experience of a lifetime to see a UFO..Had so many dreams about seeing them...totally expansive-them coming-and the greatest thing ever..I digress..

I will check out what you put up there..the link

And Dar-listened to Skylon/Ott today at the gym...lol...was great for the cardio part...in a check out kind of way...and whatever that was @ about 21 min. kicked A .. :D

.................

That Hybrid album can be unsettling in spots, but I find it has a quality of completeness to it, the album comes full circle and it's quite the ride.

Some trip hop (whatever that is, boo labels!;) to mix up the pace.

Wax Tailor - Say Yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRz-_u2tN0c Shadow - Mutual Slump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2CYyk2RUQ4

Honza Tenaglia was good from way back and Solomun I like. Hernan C. I have a mix album or two of, very cerebral artist i find. Good for headphones though not sure if I could go off on the dancefloor to what he plays, although to be fair I haven't seen him live.

-edit- going to copy paste songs from my last post b/c i'm annoyed at myself for flipping the page here lol. After all that, might as well have some music.

Been listening to the STS9 album Artifact. It's a bit too downtempo for me, but it's good and actually reminds me of Fila Brazillia's work. Anyone heard of Fila Brazillia?
