The beginning of this always creeps me out

EVERYTHING from Venetian Snares is so haunting. Love this track!

The first song I heard from them was this one:

There's at least 6 or so samples not including the main theme



Main theme

Track: Bonobo - All In Forms (starting @ 0:52)



Sample: Six Boys In Trouble - Why Can't I Get It Too



The Avalanches eventually made an track from that entire sample

This feels like proto-NPR, I'm surprised more producers haven't sampled this.

this one slightly grates my brain

I'm always torn about Lil B. He has great production but he always ruins it & he doesn't have to try because of his fanbase which I don't know if they like him ironically or they just are mindless. Like he'll say something nice like, “You always complain about what you aint got/3rd world countries don't even got sidewalks” but then that's like one in a million. I blame him & Soulja Boy for all the 'Soundcloud Rap/Yachty/Uzi Vert/Lil Pump" type stuff that's out.

Isn't that troubling. The lack of creativity in music is an actual red flag.

It's unavoidable. Modern music was built off the Amen break.

honestly, i only dabble in this area of music. i dont listen to a lot of contemporary rap bc it just doesnt hold me like 80s/90s shit does and bc of that, im really lazy w/ my exploration. i do like some of lil b's stuff. i did like "i'm gay" when it came out. i also really like lil uzi vert's media persona. citing marilyn manson as an influence is so funny to me.

i am such a nostalgia junky that i'll almost always prefer something older when presented with something new. i've had the same fave band since i was 15, just can't let go!!

I do listen to both new & old and I filter a lot. If you like 90s hip-hop, you might like the kids from Pro Era or Complex Fusion. The old vs modern will always be an argument; in true Libra fashion, I can't pick a side since I appreciate creative merit in everything. Like I don't dislike Uzi Vert (shit, I'll play XO Tour Llif3 in the car), but I can't get into Lil Pump yet I'll listen to Yung Lean. I don't know, can't really explain it.

Although boom-bap 90s hip-hop is probably my favorite, I always post a little bit of everything on the Music forum since I like a lot of genres & I had a ton of influences. But I'm on the same boat in terms of being a nostalgia junkie. 45+ year olds came up to me @ a Hall & Oates concert in Milwaukee asking me what I was doing there.

i havent done much exploring of this variety since... 2008? i thiiiiink was the last time i checked in. i've been listening to these folk albums from weird asian countries for the passed 10 years so i will def check out your suggestions. time to mix it up. thanks 🙂

ps thought about starting a world music thread, see if any other esoteric weirdos are out there in astro land. but it may end up w/ videos of loreena mckennitt & enya (who i may or may not be totally against).



edit: lmao yep last i remember being a big hit was t.i. "whatever you like". that was 2008

I was thinking about a World Music/New Age/Worldbeat thread too. Do it, I'm sure people will post! Whenever I see those celestial painting avs on here, I always assume that person listens to Enigma lol. I know the first page would be the entire tracklist of Pure Moods Vol. 1. (which I like).
