Melt-Banana is all you need.

I saw them in concert many years ago and really dug them but to date I still own nothing by them. Any particular albums you'd recommend?

gunnels · 10-10-2009, 07:33 PM

I'd start with "cell-scape".

FightingSpirit · 10-10-2009, 07:36 PM

i dont know what you like but try going on a classic rock kick
or some funk like RHCP / The Meters ORRRRRRRRRRRRR
some reggae like Dispatch / State Radio which is more punk
my personal recommendations for you out of complete black abyss
are
T.V. On The Radio
and
The Heavy

You my friend need some Smalls action going on. Fast paced, heavy (but not to the metal degree), and incredible musicianship from all the members of a band, not just the guitarist or singer. Here's a few of their tracks, if you're interested I can hook you up the an album or two.

Oh yes my friend PM coming soon.

Maybe you will like Last Step too, the more Aphex-ish alter-ego of Aaron Funk aka Venetian Snares.

A few electronic albums you should probably check out...

Junkie XL - Today

^ Dunno if it's progressive house or breakbeat that you mean when you say electronic music, but this is quite possibly my favourite such album. Definitely worth a go.

If you're after something slower, give this a go;

Global Communication - 76:14

^ Excellent, sort of neo-classical stuff, and it's got me through many an assignment for uni.

There's also this one...

The Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms

^ It's much more beat-driven and isn't really neo-classical at all. Very atmospheric, dark ambient stuff. If you're a fan of Mezzanine, you should definitely get this.

And I recommend this album to just about anyone I can...

Amorphous Androgynous - Alice In Ultraland

^ A lot like Lifeforms in mood, but much more neo-psychedelic.

If you want any links just shout eh.

I typically listen to a lot of IDM and breakcore while I'm working I guess but if it's hard, fast and good I'm interested in hearing it whatever it is. I'd definitely be interested in checking this one out.

This doesn't sound like what I was looking for in this thread but Mezzanine is one of my favorite albums so I'd love to give this one a listen.
