Dzama freakin' RULES!!! I'm more excited about this than I am about the music (almost)!!!

NWF said:

More intense than Swans, or would you consider them punk?

Orgnoted.

Receieved

NWF said:

Love that album cover.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Love you Rich.

Anxiety said:

I love his work, too...I checked it out after getting the album. Trust me, the music goes PERFECTLY with the artwork.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I hope so. It is the best hip-hop album of the last decade. It leaves more widely celebrated hip-hop albums like Speakerboxxx/The Love Below and College Dropout standing still. It is a wild mix of hardcore East Coast hip-hop, jazz, acid et al. It is produced by the incomparable Madlib.

But seriously, check out Giant Steps if you don't have it already. Jazz is cheap, and if you want a ride, 'Trane will move fast enough for ya!

Speaking of which, Alice Coltrane's "Transcendence" is one of the most amazing albums I've ever heard - I really have to be lying down when I listen to this album, because it literally DOES take my ass on a trip. Her album is, in my opinion, quite literally enchanted. I've checked out her other pieces and I like them, but they don't mess with my consciousness the way "Transcendence" does.

Mercury Rev, "Deserter's Songs" and "All Is Dream" .... but especially "Deserter's Songs"

NWF said:

OK....even though I'm a prostitute who has been rebuffed by the cross on several occassions, not sure if I'm really interested in buying a post punk album. Not a fan of the genre really but I'll see if I can find it used cuz I want to check out all recommendations

GangstaFam said:

giant Steps, A Love Supreme, Blue Trane, many other coltrane albums will do it, duke ellington's latin american and far east suites take you exactly where they say they will, Charles Mingus' Black Saint and The Sinner Lady, soooo many Miles Davis albums it's not even funny, anything by the Jimi Hendrix Experience (especially Electric Ladyland). Listening to Sly Stone's Stand and There's A Riot Going On will take you to the peak of exuberant revelry and then down to the pit of addiction and resignation, All The beatles albums from Revolver to Abbey Road are richly satisfying journeys from one end of western pop music to the other, Stevie's Music of My Mind, Innervisions and Fulfillingness First Finaele are wonderous little excursions into Stevie's mind, Off The Wall transports to your own personal gliterry dancefloor, and of course Purple Rain, Around the World in a day, and Sign O' the Times are good in that regard too. But these are almost all the most obvious choices

trashoblanco said:

now those are some crack-tastic choices.

Tim Robbins wonderful adventure - Kenny Loggins

Bit obvious coming from me. But it IS a trip.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Now, when you say this, are you looking for something fast or can it be smooth too?

Janfriend said:

It can be any kind of music really. If you've heard Sigur Ros' first album, I would consider that a trip and there are no English lyrics Recommend away my sweet

Jamiroqui - Traveling without Moving

http://notfornothing.net/...tails.html

Anyone remember him? The album was sparked by the hit single, "Virtual Insanity." However, there are other gems like, Cosmic Girl, Alright, and High Times.


Also early 90's gangsta rap: Dr Dre's - The Chronic and Snoop Dogg's - Doggystyle

Whitney Houston's (side two) of her greatest hits features all club remixes.

This album is the bomb! I was so in love with it when it dropped. I gotta go dig this one out from my archives

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

A friend of mine who's seriously into Sigur Ros told me taht the singer made up his own language and that's what he sings in!

Having said that I would seriously recommend D'Angelo's "Voodoo" album. I've been listening to this record non stop for the past several months and it's just seeped into me. It's the first album in a little while that has had this kind of effect on me and if you really listen to it, I'm sure it will have the same effect on you. Either way, good luck! I've been in that same situation!

guitarslinger44 said:

I absofreakinlutely love Voodoo! That album was lost on quite a few folks but I felt it from the very first time I heard it. It's a very simple album full of hooks and such but it works so so well. I remember wondering why Prince wasn't tearin it up like that. Good call

Hmmm...you said any kind, any genre. It's not new by any means, but one of my favorites:



Dark, dark material, and I love Johnette's voice. The tune Joey was played out, but the rest of the album is killer. Lots of anti-love songs, many of them equating love to a blood-thirsty monster.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Great album.

Cloudbuster said:

I thought about that one, too. Sometimes, it still blows my mind.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I have a theme in my mix CDs titled "Antilove Strikes Again" I love these kinds of songs as much as I love songs about love. Why do you think I love PJ Harvey so much
