Jazz,ambient, etc..basically non-metal recommendations...post them!

[derbeder]

it's best not to form any opinion about an artist's music based on some footage of her going berzerk. bjork really is innovative and she has some brilliant songs. i haven't really heard much loreena mckenitt, but the few things that i have been subjected to have not pleased me in the least. i had the impression that the music was intended for middle aged women who just want something they can relax to and ignore.

Just winding you up , (offtopic) but you must admit you did say something about ironbeard's wife, he didn't make that up.

i didnt even know he was married. or not even gay for that matter. how could i have said anything about his wife? youre both clowns imo.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

bjork is better than just about any band you listen to. igo

I've never heard any Bjork, What album would you recommend as the best to check out first?? I.e what's her best album>?

 

[derbeder]

vespertine or homogenic, probably.

 

[i aint play this]

^Get Vespertine, then get Debut, both are awesome...Medulla is just bizarre for cacophony's sake, definetely her weakest album.

 

[Prognostic]

vespertine is godly. medulla is very interesting...if you can tolerate bjork's yodel-like vocals

Climax Chicago Blues Band - A Lot of Bottle

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

sweet as guys, majority rules, vespertine it is

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

What album is the one that is just soley made up of her voice?

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Never got too into Bjork, but my roommate fucking loves her. I watched some of her latest (I think) DVD and it was very interesting. It was during the Medula tour. Those Matmos guys do some fucking awesome stuff, I might be seeing them soon with my roommate.

I just got Dave Matthews Band's "Before These Crowded Streets". Up until now I've only had a couple of their live albums, but even in the studio, their mix of jazzed up pop is awesome.

yes, i can't stand that band either.

 

[Talking Meat]

Songs 7 thru 11 or 12 on Before These Crowded Streets is one of the best runs of songs on any album.

There is hope for humanity, some people are digging DMB on the Opeth forum !

Before Thse Crowded Streets is just a piece of art the ultimate pop rock record along with Sting Ten Summoner's Tale.

Plus DMB have one the most incredible musician on this planet :

The one and Only : Carter Fuckin' Beauford !!!

A JAzz Rock drummer playing in a pop rock context ? That IS cool !!!

 

[Scourge of Malice]

bah

 

[CAIRATH]

There is hope for humanity, some people are digging DMB on the Opeth forum !

I fail to see the correlation between these two observations.

A great chill-out album is Talk Talk- the Spirit of Eden, it is kinda jazzy in parts and it owns.
