Oval (94 Diskont)

For "what the **** is that it is beautiful?" moments.

Before the Dawn Heals Us is good as well...

Also @ Northwind everyone needs some dub reggae so try King Tubby or Scientist.

The Dodos
Harvey Danger
Eliza Carthy
Alela Diane
Broadcast
Electrelane

queens of the stone age!

try Nathan Fake - Drowning in a Sea of Love. he states Mogwai as his biggest influence. worth a listen.

i was just listening to M83 and seeing them as a big Nathan Fake influence

the break in 'You are here' feels like it's making me come up on the last pill i took about 5 years ago all over again 🙂

Duran Duran

The XX
The Temper Trap
Phoenix
Death Cab for Cutie
Empire of the Sun

M83 are lovely. Close your eyes and drift away on a sea of sound.
Start with "Before the Dawn Heals Us"

Sigur Ros in a similar vein
King Cannibal for a total contrast (and then some!)

for something new, fresh and a bit different:
Various Production (if you haven't got The World is Gone, get it!)
Hudson Mohawke
Flying Lotus
Mike Slott

[i]The Temper Trap[/i]

You mean the [b]Tempest[/b] Trap I reckon.

Some of the stuff from the mid 90's is pretty damn good too, such as:

Source Direct
Photek
Peshay
Ed Rush
Omni Trio

As you said folk, I've got to mention Rodrigo y Gabriela. Its acoustic guitar music, but do all sorts of stuff including metal covers.

Sorry 😳

Plaid
Animal Collective (lots of peoples album of the year)

Rich - Went to the 20th birthday of Warp Records last week. Despite the fact Aphex Twin is touring and has a place nearby, he didn't turn up. Was gutted.

Bit eclectic but you could try
Sunn O)))-their CD Monoliths and Dimensions is the album of 2009 IMHO

Nadja-Radience of Shadows is as good as any for an introduction to the band

Bass Communion-Ambient side project of Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree

Wolves in The Throne Room-Ambient Black Metal if you can get your head round that

Or slightly more mainstream
Opeth

Porcupine Tree

Alabama 3

The Stills
metric (if you haven't already)
MSTRKRFT
Shout out louds
Spoon (definately check this out)
Yeah yeah yeahs
oh and get some of the roots in your life (I recommend Phrenology and illadelph halflife).

+1 for 65daysofstatic - truly an awesome band.

Maybeshewill are good in a heavy post rock fashion....

N-Dubz ...well it kept me amused...better than expected!

My ISP is probably about to get upset at me. Thanks guys! Some names I know, some names I don't.

The "recommend me" option has now completely died from all the random picks 🙂 I confused it before by downloading Slayer and Bach at the same time, for weeks it refused to recommend me anything but Apocalyptica and the metallica S&M album. But now it's just dead...

That's some nice jolly music there.
Quite fitting for winter mind.

Sorry I misread the post (I thought it said 'loads of money'

First time I've seen Sunn O))) described as jolly nice 🙂

Saw them a couple of days ago for the first time and was totally blown away it was the only gig I've been to where earplugs were reccomended and were given out on entry to the venue

Quality. Reminds me of old live Godflesh stuff a bit. Man I need to get some new music too.

Anyone remember Throbbing Gristle? They brought a new one out recently. Not heard it though.

Jesu, Justin Broadrick's latest project have a new EP out - Opiate Sun not heard it yet myself though

Cool. Think I've got Silver lying around somewhere. I'm gonna dig it out now you've reminded me. Techno Animal was another one of his as well I think.

just found an archive of Q albums of the year from 1986 onwards...[url= http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/ ]rocklist[/url]

also this site:- [url= http://www.timepieces.nl/index.html ]timepieces[/url]

You could give Khanate's Clean Hands Go Foul a try if you're really up for a challenge (definately not for the faint hearted)

Genius. Second Bad Vilbel has got to be one of the benchmarks of electronic music. Quality video too.

"Spoon (definately check this out)"
...didn't they do that awesome video with the little yellow dancing robot?

*Hang on...*

http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/keepon-dancing-robot-featured-in-spoons-latest-music-video/

voomvoom - Plaid played last weekend at Warp20 as well. Amazing set.

Second Bad Vilbel has got to be one of the benchmarks of electronic music.

They've written so many seminal tracks, it's scary. Krib is my favourite though. Saw them live a few times in that era. Stunning 😀 Also remember being at The Fridge in Brixton a few weeks before Tri Repetae came out. Bloke in the back room played the whole album, and within a few seconds it was [b]obvious[/b] what it was. For me that's what distinguishes the very best electronic artists.

My personal favourite at the moment is 'Flutter' from 'Anti-'...

but you're right benji_allen, Second Bad Vilbel is amazing!

Spiritualized

bright eye's

conner obesrt

monsters of folk

any thing by any of the above 🙂

King Midas Sound - Waiting For You
Shackleton - Three EPs

I've made it to the bottom of page 1! Wooo! Not actually listened to any of it yet mind. My phone lines are glowing.

Check out Ben Frost's "By the throat", and Dirty Projectors' "Bitte Orca". Two very different but great records released this year that won't fade in greatness anytime soon.

Having folky stuff on at the mo.....

Mumford and Sons
Fleet Foxes

Thanks to 59 times the pain for recommending Russian Circles, I've got loads of there stuff now and am loving it and playing it loud!

Cheers.

Gordon Gano and the Ryans "under the sun" new CD is pretty good listening.

Anyone digging M83's first two albums would also probably enjoy Ulrich Schnauss.

Here's a tune on youtube[/url].

I must get his most recent album actually.
