Dreamy feelings

[LexPWeller]

you know, opeth was the first band able to give me those incredible intimate emotions, those dreamy feelings whom i find so rarely in music. i know it's quite personal, but i'm talking about songs like to bid you farewell, benighted, or some acoustic parts of karma, the moor, the night and the silent water... all the sad intense stuff that beat you right in the stomach, you know.

well, if you got it, did you find similar feelings in other compositions by other artists?
i could say anathema, some katatonia, antony and the johnsons, a few songs by kings of convenience, a few songs by joni mitchell, or tim buckley, or tool, or camel.

 

[beast from the east]

Yep, I get em. Andy Mckee, Pink Floyd, Agalloch, lots of classical stuff

Ulver - Shadows of the Sun is just one huge dreamy feeling wrapped up in one...*sigh*

 

[FUBAR]

Yeh I love those feelings...thats the great thing about Opeth the ability to conjure variosu imagery and emotions.

Opeth is deep

 

[Sad Madrigal]

Vangelis is the best example for me. His music is beyond words, just listen to those albums:

Albedo 0.39
Spiral
Opera Sauvage
Antarctica
Chariots of Fire
Direct
The City
1492 - Conquest of Paradise
El Greco
Oceanic
Mythodea
Alexander

and my personal fav:

Blade Runner

Also try:

Jean-Michel Jarre
Kraftwerk
Tangerine Dream
Klaus Schulze
Enigma
Mike Oldfield

and of course

Pink Floyd

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

Tangerine Dream, BT's "This Binary Universe", DJ Shadow's "Endtroducing...", Astral Projection, Infected Mushroom, Hallucinogen...

 

[Kenneth R.]

Vangelis is a great choice.
Rain - Cerulean Blue
Ulver
Antimatter
Explosions In The Sky

 

[Gëist]

Glad to see that Opeth lovers are quite open-minded ^^
BT is an excellent choice.

My feelings about Opeth are quite different. I don't have this "sad intense stuff that beat you right in the stomach". It's more like a feeling of comfort. I often play Opeth when I feel strange, and it always gets me back "home". It's hard to describe.
If I want emotional music, I'd listen to Draconian or Agalloch (which doesnt make me feel good at all when I'm down).

No shit, listening to draconian when you are down is a very bad idea. last time I did that I wanted to die.

 

[Blackfield]

man check out the band riverside as soon as possible(and blackfield of course )

 

[Ruun]

SO true ... i love that album.

 

[Blackfield]

SO true ... i love that album.

i have it and i like it but sometimes it' boring imo..

 

[Blue Moon]

ULVER
CURRENT 93 (try the albums "Thunder Perfect Mind", "All the Pretty Little Horsies" and "The Starres are Sadly Marching Home" -- David Michael Tibet from C93 is friends with Antony BTW)
BLACKFIELD

And probably much more that will follow later.

 

[BrutalD]

ISIS /thread

 

[Carta's]

Yeah, Isis and Ulver pretty much pwns in this kind of music.

 

[ever dying]

Blackfield is pretty good..
I hate generic love songs.. But these ones are very nice..

 

[fsgdjv]

Cult of Luna - Salvation and Somewhere Along thr Highway
Isis - Everything after Celestial
Ulver (everything they've done gives me these feelings, including the black metal),
Explosions in the Sky
Red Sparrowes
Sigur Rós - especially ( )
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream is like one big dreamy feeling like that
Wolves in the Throne Room and Drudkh - For exactly the same reason, it puts me in a trance of some kind and I love it
Katatonia - Especially Brave Murder Day
Agalloch - Eveything they've done except maybe the first demo

Yes, I could probably go on forever, I get that dreamy feeling from a lot of music and it's one of the most important things for me to get from music.

 

[Carta's]

I'm gonna add Nick Drake to the list.

 

[Sad Madrigal]

even Dream Theater works
