The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

Recommended Posts

The aesthetic of of that Zagar music-video is inspirational. It's like they made a montage of live-action re-dramatizations of sci-fi cover-art from the 70's and 80's.

Holy shit, I clicked on that video expecting some whatever music, BUT HOLY SHIT, I fucking fell in love with this song. Still listening. Thank's for introducing me to C2C!

 

Anyway, here is my contribution.

That C2C video was really neat. Song wasn't half bad either.

 

Here's a sweet cover of a Boards of Canada song.

Oh wow. I'd never even considered the prospect of Boards of Canada covers. That's cool.

So I don't post in this thread too often but I'm hoping some of the awesome people here can help me out with music recommendations. Over the last year or so I've barely listened to any music. I have a bunch of artists that I really like but I've gotten stuck in a rut where I have pretty much every piece of music from all of these artists and have run out of stuff to listen to, so I've just kind of stopped listening. I've tried getting into new artists but unless they had some level of notoriety before 2005 I don't really have any idea of what's out there or where to start unless it's a recommendation from a friend or something. So this is where I'm hoping some of you can help. To keep this post from taking up too much space I'm putting some more information on what I like and don't like under the spoiler below. Thanks in advance for your time and feel free to PM me if you'd prefer not to clutter up this thread.

Some of my favorite genres and artists

Techno/Trance - DJ Tiesto, George Acosta, ATB

Rock - Radiohead, Muse, Incubus, Weezer, Pink Floyd, Black Keys, Tool

Soundtracks - Truman Show, The Fountain, Wall-E, Video Games

 

Some of my favorite songs

Angelfalls (Ayla/George Acosta)

Aqueous Transmission (Incubus)

The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived (Weezer)

Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd)

My favorite songs tend to have some sort of eery, epic, calming, or uplifting quality to them.

If you're into Weezer I'd strongly recommend checking out Tony Molina, a Bay Area cool dude. Replacements, Fastbacks, Weezer is the jump off, but it goes a lot of directions, and all the songs are like 1:30, so it's no big commitment.

This one has some deep Thin Lizzy vibes:

Zeus, here are a whole load of techno recommendations. These are all great when I need to focus on something or make myself go for a long run:

if you want epic or uplifting)









(Damn fine, but decidedly at the minimal downbeat end of minimal techno)

Based on this, you might like Anathema.

 

 

This guy's also quite good.

Following a load of stuff related to the Hotline Miami soundtrack over the past few months eventually led me to Big Black Delta:

I also got a bit obsessed with vaporwave thanks to this thread, and this is one of the best pieces I found (don't think I posted it yet)
