Also experimental electronics, avantgarde, ‘world music’, some funk, and a bit of indie rock.
I don’t really know anything about mainstream pop, r’n’b, or pop-rock, and especially don’t listen to lyrics so can’t say anything about rap, country, or ‘singer-songwriter’ music except that The Last Poets were the progenitors of rap, and The Velvet Underground said most of the stuff I need to hear. I do know a bit about 90s music like eurodance, and a little of 80s popular music, by the virtue of having grown among it.
P.S. The Invidious instance I use is broken (just like the last time I made such a thread), so unless your artist is on Bandcamp or free on Soundcloud, I probably won’t be able to answer new requests.
I would like something similar to Dead Can Dance’s Spiritchaser album. Any recommendations?
DCD are quite unique, of course. Especially this album, combining their peculiar approach, a newfound penchant for worldbeat, and a strong whiff of their roots as a gothic-ish band on a dream-pop label.
The following aren’t really similar, but just something I’d recommend to a fan of DCD, with a lean into world music.
Anne Dudley and Jaz Coleman’s ‘Songs From The Victorious City’
Natacha Atlas
Alek Lee’s ‘Sfarot’
Gigi Shibabaw’s ‘Baye Speedy Filfilu / Mengedegna’ (from Tabla Beat Science’s ‘Talamanam Sound Clash’), and perhaps her solo albums
Sun City Girls’ ‘The Imam’ and the rest of ‘Funeral Mariachi’
Ulver’s ‘Kveldssanger’
Perhaps unexpected, but: Enigma’s third album ‘Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!’ and later ones. They were lumped with cheesy new-age for the first two albums, and it eluded many people that the music is actually very good. With the third album, Cretu dropped most of the overt ‘native singing’ and such.
Muslimgauze’s ‘Narcotic’ and ‘Mullah Said’
Caprice’s ‘Mirror’ album, starting in the playlist with the linked video
Thank you. Will definitely check it out
Let me know if these catch your ear in any way, since your request is a rather difficult target to hit, but quite dear to my heart.
