Acoustic music recommendations?

[tintin]

Hi,

Probably due to the time of year, I've been listening a lot to these albums:

Empyrium, Where at Night the Wood Grouse Plays
Tenhi, Kauan
Ulver, Kveldssanger

Does anyone know other albums like these that I can try out?

 

[Achernar]

You could try out Ataraxia - Historiae, since this is their one with more acoustic guitar. I reccomend Ataraxia to everyone, their live performances are just astonishing!

nick drake - five leaves left OR pink moon

he doesn't play in a similar style to the artists you mentioned really, but you may still like him.

 

[Prometheus]

I Second that....

Nick Drake is pretty awesome....very relaxing...i read in an interview a while back that Nick Drake was one of Michael's inspirations or whatever, and i guess you can kinda see it...good stuff nonetheless...

 

[tintin]

Thanks for the reminder, Nick Drake is a guy I've been meaning to try for a long time.

I do have an Ataraxia album, the one based on Phantom of the Opera. It is great.

 

[BillowOfZeal]

Red House Painters
Brendan Perry (guy from Dead Can Dance's solo album)
any and all Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

 

[Analog_Kid]

Well, to deviate a bit from the norm here, I highly reccomend any instrumental material you can get by Michael Hedges,(but avoid anything from the "Road To Return" album).

And also,(uh-oh! Time for shameless self-promotion!) my stuff! Check it out at www.mp3.com/chrisbrown

Andrew White is the best acoustic guitar players i've ever heard. Look on audio galaxy for the song Barcilona. Amazing musician!

prometheus - nice to come across someone else who's one of nick's fans

and yeah, tintin, he's definitely worth checking out.

haha, i was just going to come on here and suggest analog_kid's music, which i just listened to. but i see he beat me to it! i love it. it fits perfectly with the picture of tennessee he posted. beautiful. of the three initially mentioned, i've only heard ulver and it's nothing like that, so maybe it's not what you're looking for. but give it a shot.

 

[D Mullholand]

Try to find an album called "Blackmore's Kingdom". It's not really Blackmore - it's fake, but it doesn't matter. The music is beautiful and intricate, kind of folky/acoustic.

[blakmetalemp]

Lina's right his music does fit that picture rather well.

p.s. listen to analog_kids music before the monkeys take over

I heard Southern Isolation for the first time today...and, I'm really impressed. I know Phil Anselmo is involved somehow (and its on his label), and being that I despise that dumb hick I wasn't expecting much. But wow is it good. Its acoustic dark, folk, southern rock, blues with a gorgeous female voice and heaps'o atmosphere. Really really cool. I most likely will be buying their EP. Amazon has a few low-quality samples if you are interested.

 

[Analog_Kid]

Chris Brown-HOLY SHIT WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO PLAY LIKE THIS?

hehe Thanks for the compliment! Greatly appreciated. Actually, I'm self-taught.

 

[Blackspirit]

tintin; Great thread! I have thought about this myself when
listening to Empyrium and Ulver...
"There must be something as good as this out there,
I need more!" )

So, THANKS to everyone who have given me some tips! >)
*Doing some heavy searching on Audiogalaxy* >P

 

[Blackspirit]

Searching for some Tenhi tracklists I found this site )
If you're looking for acoustic goodies try some of these bands.
The songs are ripped in bad quallity, but it gives you quite a
few good tips on bands that might be of interest )
I think I can add some new cd's to my album-wants-list! >)

There's even a band named Orplid!!
I'm thinking Opeth - Orchid, right away...

 

[Katatonic]

if ur looking for some pretty cool aussie acoustic music, try john butler trio (plug plug). john butler plays the 11 string like a god

 

[Cutter]

If your into Opeth...which u are...check out Porcupine Tree. Very lush acoustic sounds...simple but effective.

Steve Wilson, vocalist etc, produced BWP and did some of the clean stuff on 'Bleak'.

 

[Achernar]

Also check out Madredeus, a portuguese World-Music band. Their vocalist DEFINATELY rules. It may sound a little awkward at first...but so does sex...
