I have no idea what the **** 'emo' means. I kind of associate 'emo' with 'pop shite with pretensions of an emotional content' now.

Re: The GD Music Archive
I thought I might add somthing distinctly 'local'.
Instrumental
Jakob - Subsets of Sets Jakob are a haunting soundscape of dark and intense instrumental music. Their music is heavily focused upon conveying a situation or mood through sound. Vocals are dispensed with in favour of deep and complex sets, with songs like A nice day for an earthquake attempting to convey the calm and tranquility before the storm; only to explode into a wall of sonic energy. The band is worth listening to if only to hear somthing unique and different. A sample I recommend - and the only one you are likely to find, is I'm On Your Side under video.

either that, or hardcore made by people who make up in whining what they lack in rhythm. from autumn to ashes and secret lives of the freemasons being delightful examples

yeah, you need to listen to some of the stuff i've recommended. from autumn to ashes is ridiculously shit. shame the ratio of good:bad "emo" bands is so poor that it leads to a the few excellent ones being overlooked so often.

okay. well, something that sounds good, and isn't being sung by posturing emo kids, and i'll give it a shot. but that's the other obstacle for me: as much as i object to shit music, i also object to pretentious artists. Muse get nixed by this. Radiohead get nixed. Hard-Fi certainly suffer for it. And every emo band i've been exposed to so far has been anathema, on both counts.
Pick out one thing I should investigate that won't leave me wanting to tear someone's eyes out, and i'll give it a whirl. Until that point I remain deeply sceptical.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Jazz
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Some say the music on this album is perfect, i dont know. But i can say this LP is not easy to listen to as you miss in every song a formal structure for example like a continuing bass-line. And Coltranes play, it sounds crazy mad, from clear rythms to high pitched, sloped tones. I know a lot of people who think when listening to "A Love Supreme" that there is playing a derelict for the first time the saxophone to get the money for a meal. The last thing i can say when you open yourself for it, it is indescribably touching, it sounds (compared to other Jazz LP's) like being on a whole new level. Intense and emotion thats what this album is all about.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Pop/Rock
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
I cannot believe no one has mentioned probably the best album ever written. Beautiful and sensual from start to finish, if this album doesnt tug on your heart strings, im sorry, but nothing ever will. You can put this on and cry in a room, walk and smile in the sun, sing your heart out in an empty shop (yo). Every song seems to roll into the next one (like every good album should), but if i had to pick highlights, the title track, and 'The Boxer' are two of the most astoundingly awesome tracks ive ever heard. Includes perhaps the most beautiful line of all time in 'The only living boy in new york' - being - "Hey.. i've got nothing to do, today, but smile". If you dont like this album, i cant ****ing reason with you.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Aye Deffeh, its a great album. And I agree, the boxer is one of the best on that album.
I would like to add.
Jazz
Silje Nergaard - At first light
Dont worry, the lyrics are all in english. Her voice is beautiful, the music is nice. An exellent record to chill down with, or to listen to when you fell down. Somehow she manages to touch my heart, hell even make me(!) feel romantic for a while. Also worth noting, another album with the same style called; Port of Call.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Rock
R.E.M -New adventures in Hi-Fi
Perfect for listning too while you watch the rain from inside the bus. More Rock than the famous Automatic for the people album, but I find it almost as good. Tracks worth listning to in particular: Leave, Bittersweet Me, So Fast So Numb, Electrolite.
(Amazing that nobody has mentioned any R.E.M album ffs!)

Propaganda - A Secret Wish
One of the best bands of the 1980s.
Think the Human League mixed with Kraftwerk.
If you don't like this album, you are dead (as in dead, deceased, ceased to be, not Yur ded)

You Could Have It So Much Better With...Franz Ferdinand
forget whatever you thought about FF from the first album. This has none of the repetitive pretentious wank of their self-titled debut, and instead represents forty minutes of stripped-back art rock with so much funk it hurts. Standout tracks are Evil and a Heathen, Walk Away, and The Fallen.

Re: The GD Music Archive
After hating most new music this year, I've managed to find a few things I like
New Pornographers - Twin Cinema: Upbeat indie pop, horrendously catchy tunes that manage to avoid being either simplistic or cheesy. The only problem with this album is that the female vocalist isnt used enough - she only gets 2 songs out of the 14. Stand out tracks: "These are the Fables", and "Sing Me Spanish Techno".
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Stupid band name, great album. Indie pop again, but not very upbeat, and with a sound that reminds me of the Arcade Fire although I'm not sure why. Standout tracks: "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth", "Details of the War".

Finally, an album i'm acquainted with BEFORE nod recommends it.
It's ****ing fantastic. SMST is good, as are the bleeding heart show and jackie, dressed in cobras.
CYHSY I am as yet unacquainted with, thanks nod for reminding me to fix this.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Sadly, and once again, the genre of Funk is left out in the cold.
Several bands, names, labels, compositions, mostly old 45 rpm records. Some have been Comped such as Jazzman Geralds "Texas Funk"...a truely heavy hitting gem for the first time funkster.
For a fast scan of what I believe to sit right beside Jazz and Blues....behold... FUNK!
I did not expect to be added into the list on the first post, but I am content in knowing, I have done my part in spreading the holy word.
Note: Full versions of the songs, in most cases, are found with many months of sweat pouring over boxes and boxes of records...in many, many, record stores.

Cat Power - You Are Free
It's a really good album just in general, but the undisputed highlight has to be the track 'He War', which you should kill your grandparents to hear.

Re: The GD Music Archive
CYHSY are just fab, i was shockingly unlucky to miss them live last month when i was over in the states.
Prog Rock
Dredg - Catch Without Arms
Complexity and intricacy is the order of the day with this band in their third album. This album builds on the bands first two offerings by bring more progressive and less rocky than the past outings. The title track is the biggest stand out of the album with it's awesome lyrics, the band also emply a style of ambience within the album.
Indie Rock
Broken Social Scene- You Forgot It in People
released in '03 but still absolutely fantastic compared with a lot of other indie rock out. i honestly adore every song on this album, mixing traits of pensivity, joyousness and just passion, this album plainly rocks.
Indie Pop
The Album Leaf- In a Safe Place This gorgeous, cinematic record was recorded with the aid of Sigur Ros at their studio in Iceland. Think Sigur Ros meets Dntel and you have a good idea of what it sounds like. For the band-reference-comparison-challenged, this is an album full of subdued clicks and beeps, sweeping melodies, and beautiful, wistful melancholy. (directly stolen from QC's RL section because that pretty much is a spot on description.)

Re: The GD Music Archive
Alternative
Gatsbys American Dream - Volcano
unlike nod, I've found many, many releases i've adored this year. of everything it is this album, which is undoubtedly my favourite and walks into my top10 albums of all-time easily. (which isn't too shabby considering i possess around 800 albums.) i'm not sure why i haven't recommended this album here before but it is pretty much fantastic. Filled with literary references ranging from Jurassic Park and The Lord Of The Rings trilogy to Interview With A Vampire and The Lord Of The Flies , Volcano is not easy music to swallow, and it's not meant to be. there are no choruses in this album, it's all interweaving music with intellectuality in the music being the main sell point. revisiting old lyrics from previous albums backing up songs, short postscripts to full tracks, cowball vocal exchanges all feature in this album to make it one of the most magnificent albums released in quite a while.
of everything i've recommended this would be the one i'd definitely ask ANYONE to go for. give the whole album 5-6 spins and tell me you don't adore it.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Electro
Ladytron - The Witching Hour
Impossibly good music to dance to. If you like Goldfrapp, Kasabian, or in point of fact any music at all whatsoever, you should love this and if you don't you have AIDS. standout tracks are 'destroy everything you touch' and 'international dateline' although 'high rise', 'sugar' and 'amtv' also rank in my top songs of the year.
Indie
Arctic Monkeys - Beneath the Boardwalk
Demo tape from the hottest live act, and uncontestable best new band, of 2005. Standout tracks are 'Cigarette Smoke', 'Scummy', 'A Certain Romance' and first single 'Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' (DANCING TO ELECTROPOP LIKE A ROBOT FROM 1984, OH FROM 1984). This will be hard to get hod of because it's a demo tape, obviously, but careful scouring of torrent networks should provide it. If not, PM me. But you all need to hear this.

I'm going to post again about the Go! Team, as they are just so good they deserve two reccomendations.
I saw them live on Sunday, and they didn't disappoint.
Oh, and Lady Sovereign was one of the supports, and she's not bad live either- quite amusing

Re: The GD Music Archive
Post-Punk
The Fall - Fall Heads Roll
25th album from John Peel's favourites. Far better than it has a right to be (and they're still cracking live). Highlights are the astounding Pacifying Joint, as well as 60s cover I Can Hear The Grass Grow and seven minute drugathon Blindness.
Electro
Depeche Mode - Playing The Angel
Like Depeche Mode? Course you do. And you're particularly going to enjoy John The Revelator and Lilian.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Say Anything - Is A Real Boy
Wonderful wonderful wonderful mix of indie/punk rock/pop gems. Originally intended to be a musical, Max bemis restyled the songs into a concept album about a boy in an unsuccessful band running a commentary on the pretentions and the retardity of life & society. one of the best albums released in the past few years, easily
Ambient Synth Rock (?)
Minus The Bear - Menos El Olso
Witty lyrics, excellent ability to paint pictures with their songs, the calm progressive feel of minus the bear most likely won't appeal to everyone but to those with a taste for this sort of music, the chances are you will adore this.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Freeform/Hardcore - Figured i might have to explain the genre too
Most of you will have heard terrible 'Happy Hardcore' which came about when Jungle was huge and Drum and Bass was just a baby. Those that didnt like the chipmunk vocals and uplifiting pianos went down another route and ended up with Freeform. Its almost impossible to classify and just fits in round other dance music genres really.
Bonkers 3 - A Journey into Madness (Sharkeys mix)
This CD (one of 3 and the other 2 are gash imo) although strictly a mix CD with the scene as small as it was back then the same few producers were working together a lot and managed to get a snapshot that encompassed everything that was good about the music the tempo ranges from native indian inspired breakbeats of Ramos and Supremes - The Ravechief to the pounding 190bpm+ 4/4 acid line frenzy that is Marc Smiths - The Procrastinator.
Ahead of its time and still sounds crisp and well produced

Re: The GD Music Archive
I had fancied making one of these for a while and this was the only thing I could think of doing it for. Thought it may make it easier to find things as Weeks hasn't updated the original post in a while.
http://www.urwins.com/~adam/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
So far I've only put in half of the stuff in Weeks original post as I only have time to work on it when in uni but it should be finished by the end of the week.
If people think its worth keeping then I'll work on improving the layout and look of the thing.

If you want to fill in any of the categories I havent done that would be great cheers. No need to update your original post though as I can do it by category and then just add all the individual posts on their own easy enough.

Re: The GD Music Archive
I'd be really grateful if someone could recommend some decent AphexTwin songs, specifically.
Any act in the same vein would be appreciated, too.

Re: The GD Music Archive
You really don't want to listen to Aphex Twin. Not if you are not a nutcase, anyway.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Alternative
The Maple State - Atleast Until We've Settled In
i've been absolutely heads over heels in love with this band since i saw them supporting circa survive back in september. honestly, this band brings some innovation and brilliance which is much needed in the british alternative punk scene. i could shower this recommendation with many metaphors and such, but all you need to know is that this band is filled with funk. and funk is good. very good.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Rock
Smashing Pumpkins - Pisces Iscariot - This album is a gem. It is rare for a collection of B-Sides to contain so many amazing songs. Best described as a rough cut diamond, listening to this album is rewarding for both fans and first time listeners. If you prefer their more melodic side, then songs such as Whir, Soothe and Landslide will make you smile. For those who like their harder edge, you cannot go past Frail and Bedazzled. There is somthing for everyone here, I highly recommend it.

Just to say that of course I agree. Everything the Smashing Pumpkins have ever done is wonderful
Although I wouldn't personally suggest a new listener starts with this album. I think a lot of the others are more accessible.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Beck - Guero (The only genre I can think of is "Alternative")
"Beck is a true master of pastiche, but Guero isn't eclectic merely for the sake of it--instead, it's a constantly surprising, ever-revolving creation that looks at Beck's multiple talents through an entertaining kaleidoscope and which, backed by the Dust Brothers' formidable production, is damn groovy." (Amazon)
This is just a really catchy album - most of the songs will stick in your head for a long time. It's really difficult to explain the sound of this album, it's just really easy to listen to. Standout songs: E-pro, Girl.

I think they're punk but I'm not gonna get into an argument about it.

Re: The GD Music Archive
Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
They're pretty amazing with their orchestrated kind of rock music. If you've seen the new "hit" movie floating around with a house filled with christmas-lights that follows the rythms of a melody, that's one of theirs. They've been around for quite a few years and it saddens me I haven't seen or heard of these people before.
