Another MUSIC Thread: What's Everyone Listening To?
posted 1 year ago by Kienan 1 year ago by Kienan +46 / -0

In wake of the "rap sucks" thread, I thought it would be fun for people to share music they like, of any genre.

What's good, people?

I predominately listen to varieties of electronica. I've loved the genre ever since I first heard Sandstorm in the early 2000's, and have dived deeply to find exactly how expressive you can make music with synthesizers and mixers.

Drum & Bass has been the style I've listened to the most, although that has shifted slightly over time. Artists I enjoy range from the classic Pendulum (1) (2) to the maybe less well known Flite and Rameses B. The best channel I've found for keeping up with this subgenre has been Liquicity. They have a yearly mix of many hits from that year, which releases around December, and are great for a sort of "review" of the style.

Following along to D&B is another style I've listened to a lot over the years as a sort of relaxation music. It's still electronica, but captures an entirely different mood. I guess I would file it under 'ambient,' or 'atmospheric.' Tracks like Zacy's Uranus (strong GitS vibes) and DreamstateLogic's Earthbound give me a very enjoyable 'drifting in space' feeling. I find them great for driving and keeping something on in the background when doing various chores or other involved work. Other artists include Jaja, Endeleas, and Und1fin3d.

Thirdly, the one I've been drifting into a lot thanks to my discovery of the channels NewRetroWave, Electronic Gems, and Definition of Chill; Synthwave. It started with my discovery of Makeup and Vanity Set around 2015, and that shifted through various recommended videos until I stumbled upon the NRW channel, which led to seeing commenters recommending other channels. The three I mentioned above are the ones I decided give me the best of the style. NINA - Beyond Memory, the inimitable HOME - Resonance, and Youth 83 - Strange Encounters

Powerwolf is a Werewolf RP Christian-themed metal band. I enjoy some of their work, but it's not my preferred genre. Audible lyrics, great melodies. (1) (2)

Finally, I absolutely love choral music, but it's very hard to find any that "sound right" to my ear. Certain songs like this one or this one stick out to me. They have excellent harmonies, but don't have the sort of droning sound that seems to develop in chants that go on for too long. Hard to describe well.

I enjoyed the soundtrack that Makeup and Vanity Set did for the game Brigador

I just gave it a listen, it's great! I can definitely hear their style in it.
