The thread where you talk about non-metal music you like.

For the hell of it I downloaded a Ska album, Everything Goes Numb by Streetlight Manifesto. I actually like it. Very passionate and vigorous performance, and much use of the horn section, even breaking into a Brahms Hungarian dance tune at one time. And the drumming is more dynamic than I expected. I especially like it when they break out the hardcore power chords and combine it with the brass, becoming almost the Punk equivalent of Symphonic Black Metal.

I listened quickly to some of that...sounds like poppy ska-punk, like a less aggressive version of Catch 22.

I used to like some bands that incorporated ska in their sound although I haven't really lsitened to any of it for years. I used to listened to Operation Ivy, Choking Victim, Citizen Fish, Catch 22, Link 80, Voodoo Glow Skulls.

Weirdly enough to listening to a track off that album right now.
I quite like Streetlight Manifesto

 

[The Ozzman]

People still listen to ska?

 

[False Joe]

I've got a few compilation albums of the best of ska on my computer.

 

[Blind Guardian]

I hate Kent, but this cover is really good. Great chorus, without the faggy synth pop vibes of the real Kent.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I haven't paid any attention to Kent's music, but is it part of some strange fetish for England?

 

[Blind Guardian]

Not the name, but perhaps musically, pretty much everyone who listens to Kent also listens to Sisters Of Mercy, Joy Division and Depeche Mode.

Choking Victim/Leftover Crack and Citizen Fish all rule.

Anyone looking for some pretty great current post-punk and some equally great re-issues should check out Sacred Bones Records.

does anybody here know of any bands who mix Chopin/Rachmaninoff style Piano with a full Rock band( ideally, not mixed in a cheesy way, but well done...)

other than that, some Drum and Bass recs would be very welcome

I don't know Drum N' Bass too well, but have you looked into dubstep?

 

[Ross]

I hate dubstep so much

I do like some dnb, surprisingly enough.

 

[SentinelSlain]

hehe Listen to hardcore techno like DJ Korsakoff. I do.

Just came in the mail today. It fucking owns.

Anybody into Psybient?

This song "Neurosomatic Circuit" by Androcell is quite possibly the greatest song made for smoking a J....ever?!

Classic fucking album.

That Counterstrike song is kind of fucking awesome.

 

[Vimana]

I enjoy spinning it when I'm doing something like writing.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Sunscape is just about the most beautiful song ever.

 

[Vimana]

I prefer Toltec Spring
