There's a band from Norway called "Chateau Neuf Spelemannslag" that mixes Jazz with Norwegian folk music, for those of you who like something different. One of their tracks where featured in a Simpsons episode about Norwegian descendants invading Springfield, I'm sure many of you have seen it. I recommend these tracks: "Bukkehornlåt/Finnskoghalling", "Reinlender etter Thorvald Trondsgård" and "Finnskogpolser" from the Album "Curing Norwegian Stiffness" "Gamle-Guro", "Lars Linkerifot", "Guten min/Fille-Vern", "Fjellmannjenta", "Halling etter Thorvald Tronsgård", "Cp-slåtten/Vetlegutten", "Hopparen (The Simpsons episode)" and "Tversover'n" from the albums "Spell and "Tjuvgods". Edit: There are also Swedish and Irish bagpipes etc on some of their tracks, so it's basically a mix of many genres and folk styles. All their music can be found on Spotify! And some of their (not their coolest) tracks can be found on [url]http://www.myspace.com/chateauneufspelemannslag[/url]
Stuff like Crystal Castles for inspiration for our new two person techno music band. We have one song but no lyrics yet. I wanna make a band like crystal castles. Basically creepy techno and experimental electronica.
So, I was listening to Viscera Eyes by the Mars Volta and I found that I really liked a part of it towards the end. Does anyone know whole songs that are somewhat similar to that particular part of the song? It's the 7:52-ish part. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KN87aObBOY#t=7m52[/media]

[QUOTE=Benji;17763058]Have you listened to the other albums by The Mars Volta? If you liked that song, I'd recommend pretty much anything by them.[/QUOTE] Yep, I like just about everything from the Mars Volta, but for some reason, not a lot of it seems similar to that one part of Viscera Eyes.
[QUOTE=Street_Wolf;17786262]Yep, I like just about everything from the Mars Volta, but for some reason, not a lot of it seems similar to that one part of Viscera Eyes.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's really not. I've been trying to think of something similar to that, but I can't.
I need some good funk music. Of course I already listen to RHCP.

[QUOTE=Street_Wolf;17786262]Yep, I like just about everything from the Mars Volta, but for some reason, not a lot of it seems similar to that one part of Viscera Eyes.[/QUOTE] Tetragramaton is my favorite. Listen if you haven't. [editline]01:12AM[/editline] [QUOTE=King_of_Town;17769914]Trs-80[/QUOTE] thanks buddy. Not Crystal Castles but it's something.
Anyone care enough to suggest me this kind of music? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL4mywCOJXA[/media] I've looked through their other songs, but they seem to have a far too cheerful tune to them. The lyrics are pretty deep but the I dislike the tune Example [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r3Bs_KkP94&feature=fvst[/media]

Recommend me some slow and heavy music with downtuned guitars à la Cult of Luna Neurosis Pelican Manatees Latitudes Isis Black Shape of Nexus Rosetta, Swallow the Ocean Tephra Callisto Harsh vocals preferred, but it's not required or whatever.

Certain Mastodon songs fit the bill but not all of them.
[QUOTE=Godspeed You!;17810369]I honestly think you've got them all. Certain Mastodon songs fit the bill but not all of them.[/QUOTE] I better go tune down my non-existent guitar and jam with my non-existent band, then.
[QUOTE=Atta|To|End;17789635]Tetragramaton is my favorite. Listen if you haven't.[/QUOTE] Good song. Earlier this year I was at a bar, playing pool with some friends. They had a jukebox that was able to search and download songs. I was searching for a Mars Volta song and I thought what better way to get my $1 worth of music, than to select Tetragrammaton and enjoy a 16 minute and 42 second orgasm. Probably the best part was the reaction of most of the bar. Looking around most of them had, "What the fuck is this shit?" expressions on their faces.
Anyone know any songs that are similar in style to "No Reason" by Sum 41 and/or "Adding to the Noise" by Switchfoot.
