Here’s my 100 most listened to albums on last.fm for reference of what my taste is like, don’t let that stop you from recommending me things you think I won’t like though I’m trying to expand my horizons.

I also like listening to small artists, I write a series of artist features all about people less than a million Spotify listeners so if you have any recommendations for that lmk.

Ivan Torrent - Onyria

This guy makes amazing epic music. Can't recommend him enough. All his other albums are great as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I'll try and throw out a few curve balls:

  1. AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain't a bop.
  2. The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
  3. Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
  4. Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
  5. Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don't want lyrics cluttering my head.

Suite for Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Live recording of a Dilla tribute concert with a 60 piece orchestra. Stakes Is High with Posdnuos and Talib Kweli is a standout. Album is on Bandcamp and the full concert video is on YouTube.

In the World: From Natchez to New York by Olu Dara. He's the father of Nas (who guests on the album) and an accomplished jazz musician in his own right, but this isn't a jazz album. Okra is in my top three songs about food.

Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway. A mashup of De La Soul and Fela Kuti. "Music is the weapon. Music is the future. Music is the weapon of the future."

Clube da Esquina 2

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Deltron 3030.

Hes the rapper for the gorillaz but also has/had a solo career before/during/after the gorillaz as del the funkee homosapien.

The album is a sci-fi futurism concept hip hop album.

Mechanical Keyboard Sounds: Recordings of Bespoke and Customized Mechanical Keyboards

Edit: This is less music, and more relaxation sounds. But I really like it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

A Tribe Called Quest - Beats, Rhymes, & Life

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Atmosphere - Mi Vida Local

After going through your list a second time, I don't see gorillaz newest album Cracker Island on it. I never thought the gorillaz would ever get close to their demon days height but I love their new album almost as much (its close, but you can't outshine the sun)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

I don't see any of The Avalanches on there. All their stuff is good, but if you haven't listened to them, probably start with the original Since I Left You album.

For reference, I discovered J Dilla - Donuts when trying to find more stuff like The Avalanches.

Aesop rock - Skelethon

The drums are just 🀱

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Hell of a good album. Cycles to Gehenna slaps, fryerstarter is a little surreal. A good chunk of his albums have an instrumental version too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Here's something unique. The album "Acheron" by Mechina.

I don't think it's in your regular taste. But it's unique enough to be a suggestion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Since you are trying to expand your horizons here's a bunch of weird stuff I like:

  • Paper Kites - Woodland
  • Hawaii Part II
  • Jack Stauber - HiLo
  • Marxist Love Disco Ensemble - MLDE
  • Twin Resurrection - Volume 1
  • Windows 96 - Reflections (tbh any album by Win96 is great)
  • Chikoi The Maid - Leaving Reality
  • Ginger Root - Shinbangumi
  • PilotRedSun - Achievement
  • Date of Birth - Planet Dob
  • Akiko Yano - Tadaima

Cannibal ox - Cold Vein

7 notas 7 colores - Hecho, es simple

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Can't see the list but basing this on the comments - I have been enjoying the new Hard Quartet album and think you might like. Rock and roll, more or less.

Janelle Monae, any of the first 3 albums in particular, but all of hers flow well.

Run the Jewels, if they aren't already in your list. Second album, but again, any.

Absolutely love the new Fontaines DC album.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Something different - Lorn - Just listen to everything xD

To stay more hip hop

Cult of the Damned and all of their side projects, Lee Scott is a fucking son and pretty much everything he touches is gold. My particular favourite is the "Cult Mountain" side project.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

I second Lorn! Dark ambient electronic sprinkled liberally with glitch elements is chef's kiss.

Also would recommended Amon Tobin. ISAM is one of my favorite albums, and Lost and Found is often the song I'll put on to introduce folks to his style.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

I see a lot of my favorites in that list. Some of my top albums I don't see:

  • Negro Swan and Cupid Deluxe by blood orange
  • IV by badbadnotgood
  • injury reserve by injury reserve
  • Don't You by Wet (pretty significant vibe shift from the others, maybe you'll like it)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

If you're into rap hybridizations, Rage Against the Machine's self titled album is one of my favourite's

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

Love that Forever story is there as both original and extended version! Sticking to the strong lyricism rap themes Food and Liquor from Lupe Fiasco is great.

I think Eminem's latest project The Death of Slim Shady was a lot of fun and showed his talent as an artist but it's not for everyone thematically.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

In two totally different genres : World on Disease by Antagonism and Orelsan et Gringe sont Les Casseurs Flowters by Casseurs Flowters

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

I's recommend SLIFT's album UMMON. It's an interesting mix of psychedelic-prog rock/metal.

Their other albums are also pretty solid, but Ummon is their best IMO.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Any by Radiohead. They are all different.

Didn't notice The Streets in your top 100. It's kind of in line with Gorillaz. My fave album of theirs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Grand_Don%27t_Come_for_Free

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Metallica - S&M (Symphony and Metallica)

The old one, not the newer one. It's a live recording.

Metallica and the San Francisco symphony, honestly some of the better versions of their songs are on this album. No Leaf Clover is my favorite from it.

Also, CunninLynguists - Strange Journey volume 3

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. (60's Psychedelic rock, nearly all of the songs were hits, that's how good it is)

Twin Fantasy by Car Seat Headrest (indie rock)

3D Country by Geese (country rock made by a punk band)

[the future academy of noise, rhythm and gardening presents...] The Dream by The Orb. (Ambient house? Can't remember the exact genre, very ambient, sample heavy and "lush" but also dancable)

Keep It Unreal by Mr. Scruff (acid/nu-jazz I think?)

Frequencies From Planet Ten, Time Travelling Blues by Orange Goblin (two albums, stoner metal)

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown). (Psychedelic rock with rnb/soul-style vocals, also possibly one of the first narrative-based albums)

Ziltoid the Omniscient by Devin Townsend (prog-metal, one of the greatest albums of all time)

And if you want the heaviest album I've ever heard, try Snailking by Ufomammut. It's... It's something else. Basically a mix of doom and stoner metal but with sludge metal effects. Best way I think I can describe it is if Pink Floyd had been a doom metal band addicted to Lovecraft. It's trippy in a lovecraftian kinda way.

Anyway, gonna cut myself off here.

I give you permission to continue.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

I'll elaborate on artists I see here already amd recommend MF Doom's Mm..Food, The White Stripe's Elephant, and a collaboration between MF Doom and Danger Mouse; The Mouse and the Mask. The last is particularly good if you're familliar with Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

We have similar taste and you need to listen to Kalush (and Kalush Orchestra) - Ukrainian hip hop! The β€œOrchestra” group has more folk influences but all of it is just banger after banger. I don’t understand a word of Ukrainian but I love these guys.

Glad to see plenty of gorillaz in there!

Actually a lot of yours align with mine such as Tama Impala and King Gizzard. I'm gonna check out some of the others you have.

I don't really listen to specific albums, just certain artists and playlists.

I will throw in Franz Ferdinand - Hits to the head album though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

You check out Tame Impala's live rendition of innerspeaker yet?

Better then the studio album by far, and the visuals are tight. The session starts at dusk and it slowly turns night as the album progresses.
