ITT: albums that sounds like literally nothing else ever made
A lot of early Residents has that feeling.
To some extent, no other album I can think of gets the feeling across that 666 does. The closest I can think is the Texas Jerusalem Crossroads, but that's an entirely different album.
>>66257485
but this especially
>>66257353
Desertshore and The Marble Index
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM9PUegDRz8
For definitely this
best mix of math and emo i've yet to hear
>>66258038
So it sounds like math rock and emo
>>66257353
>>66258156
its surprisingly hard to dispute this, actually, nice pick
>>66258156
I mean it still kind of sounds like PBVSGR and CHz.
>>66257912
Not relevant to topic but good shit, I don't see people post this often
>>66258156
Sounds like something I did in the toilet this morning
>>66258156
to me the problem with this album isn't the sound but some of the songwriting being weak
>>66258206
kek
The only other music that sounds like this is from related bands.
>>66258193
>CHz
nah
>PBVSGR
kind of, but PW is a lot poppier and the beats hit much harder
>>66258260
And I guess Einstürzende Neubauten sometimes used similar sounds and timbre.
>>66258118
No fucking shit you retarded memer. It's unique in its genre(s) though.
People who claims that there are other albums that sounds like this are all wrong.
>>66258193
I really don't get why people say this; it sounds nothing like CHz and only very slightly PBvsGR-esque in a select few parts with heavy Panda Bear influence.
>>66258209
in a few places yes, but I think it's actually pretty consistent overall.
>>66258384
some of the cuts like Golden Gal are painfully mediocre though
>>66258038
it sounds exactly like American Football
>>66258156
>
>>66258260
>henry cow
>soad
>mr bungle
>>66258396
while I'm not one of the many who praises the fuck out of Golden Gal, I certainly don't think it's mediocre. if anything on the album is mediocre it'd be certain sections of songs. parts of Bagels in Kiev come to mind (which is very disappointing to me since I really like the main melody of it,) and Hocus Pocus and Summing The Wretch both could be said to fit in that I don't feel they developed enough (though I still like both.)
honestly though, I'm surprised at how many things that I originally thought were mediocre grew on me and now sound pretty great.
>>66258454
None of those bands used home-made instruments as heavily as SGM.
And only the first Idiot Flesh album sounds like the first Mr. Bungle album.
Everything else is just itself.
>>66257353
Almost all concept albums of the residents sound unique:
>Eskimo
>Commercial Album
>The third reich'n roll
>>66258156
You literally picked the wrong Anco album
>>66258477
The album has some seriously weak spots but the highs are pretty high. Floridada as well as Vertical and The Burglars is insanely fun, especially the last part with Panda's soaring background vocals.
>>66258454
Also, SOAD is a mediocre Idiot Flesh/Mr. Bungle clone if anything.
>>66258550
>implying what OP said couldn't be said for multiple anco albums
STGSTV definitely isn't their most unique though imo, PW still beats it in that regard (along with much of their early discography.)
>>66258559
Floridada and especially Vertical were pretty good, but if I had to pick a top three it'd be The Burglars > On Delay >= Lying In The Grass desu
The Burglars is the album's Brothersport
>>66258642
on delay is great as well but yeah the burglars is the goat
>>66258642
PW is closer to CHz than STGSTV is to either Danse or HCTI
Please prove me wrong
>>66258642
Spilling Guts>Vertical>Recycling are top 3
>>66258690
PW doesn't sound like CHz, STGSTV and Danse definitely sound similar though.
>>66258721
I WAS CONCEIVED
>>66258690
I agree, but the only reason I do is because I think Danse is insanely unique and HCtI is fairly unique as well while also being fairly different genre-wise. PW is still very separate from the sound of CHz, and I would say far more unique as well.
>>66258730
But Danse is easily their most unique anon
>>66258721
I wish I could
>>66258156
it sounds a bit like tune-yards
>>6625843
Early Kraftwerk
>>66258844
meant >>66258435
>>66258384
>it sounds nothing like CHz
Spilling Guts could have easily fit on CHz if it was noisier.
>>66258550
STGSTV is literally Pavement on acid, dude.
>>66258798
Danse is also Pavement on acid.
>>66258435
faust did a bad impression of them on So Far
>>66257912
What stupid fuck made that terrible cover? Good choice and great album though.
>>66258907
Huh, I can actually see Spilling Guts fitting like that now that you've pointed it out, but I still wouldn't say the vast majority of the album is similar in any way.
Also you're reminding me that I need to check out Pavement, but from what I remember of what I've heard your description is pretty far off the mark.
>>66258838
any album in particular?
>>66258550
If anybody knows an album that sounds like this, be it by AnCo or not, pls rec
btw Danse Manatee doesn't sound like STGSTV, nor is it anywhere near as good
>>66259064
Danse's peaks are higher than STGSTV's desu
>>66259091
>April is 10/10
>Untitled is 10/10
>The yells in Penny Dreadfuls
>The screams in Chocolate Girl
>RUUUUUUN in Alvin Row
STGSTV is my fav album, stop hurting me senpai
>>66258431
Second this. Try playing one after the other, it's strangely satisfying
>>66257353
>>66259228
yeah, but
>the entirety of Lablakely Dress
>the entirety of Meet the Light Child (but especially the animalistic whooping and the layered/looped whispery vocals over a quiet, echoey guitar and a slightly off-key and sluggish synth melody
both beat all of STGSTV desu, though Spirit They've Vanished and April and the Phantom are pretty high up there too.
>>66259284
>Who is Frank Zappa
>>66259110

>>66259319
The producer of TMR.
>>66259110
Pretty much most Cardiacs, honestly, even despite all of the bands that they sounds super alike to
try finding an album that captures the night time driving feeling of this (you cant)
>>66259110
Can't be that original if most of the riffs from it are ripped-off from somewhere else
>>66259315
Danse Manatee has the most accurate Pitchfork score ever
>>66259371
>bringing up pitchfork scores out of nowhere
Way to show your true colors, drone. I'd like to see you try and defend any aspect of this review.

thank you, absolutely loving this album

i was just saying that the score for Danse Manatee is 100% accurate for once. come @ me

There's lots of rip-offs from the album Relayer - Yes too
>>66259023
>any album in particular?
listen to whokill and nikki nack
specifically nikki nack, it's most similar to PW
>>66259460
Maybe if you're a pleb.
>>66259518
Is there anymore?
>>66259549
>using the pleb meme as a serious argument
maybe it's because it's a mess that doesn't amount to anything more than the sum of its parts. Anco weren't going in the direction of full-on noise or anything, they clearly wanted to create an album that would evoke the playfulness and magic of childhood, but instead they just sound like children themselves. STG and HCTI take the general idea of Danse and actually does something good with it
>>66259530
I can kinda see what you're saying, but I think it's only somewhat similar at its closest. It's like a less synthetic, more african-influenced take on what PW did.
Really enjoying what I'm hearing though, so thanks for mentioning it.
>Diamanda Galas - The Litanies of Satan
>>66257912
This. 10/10 album right here
Somehow fun and sorta whimsical but dark and unsettling at the same time. A very liberating experience
>>66259250
Is this the new long season?
>>66259518
>>66259597
In some ways though it does make me appreciate the album even more, it's impressive that he can write these songs that branch off of so many others
>>66260019
I will say they at least incorporate their influences tastefully
But I wouldn't call them "original" or "sounding like nothing else ever made"
![Suicide1977[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/VQ0OC5o.jpg "Suicide1977[1].jpg")
It's not nearly on the level that Not Available is, but it fits the bill.
>>66260066
Fair enough, but I'd still say that what they did is still pretty original
Either way though that album, while it is great, is not as great as their material from the 80s. Not to say they are a "perfect" band or whatever but they have some of my all time favorite music without a doubt, all of which comes from that period.
Fucking /mu/ doesn't even remember before when they were actually not hate-memed into oblivion
>>66260133
that's my favorite album of theirs, but honestly it's not close to being one of their most unique albums imo
still pretty unique though
>>66260192
Sounds like Stereolab, which sounds like Pram, which sounds like at least three female-fronted post-punk bands.
>>66259548
What album is this
>>66260133
Sun City Girls style freak folk mixed with Beach Boys vocals.
>>66259023
>but from what I remember of what I've heard your description is pretty far off the mark.
Pavement was a massive influence on Avey, and he was in a Pavement ripoff band with Geologist and Deak in high school (which is when he wrote Penny Dreadfuls, the most transparently Pavement influenced song).
>>66260120
Alan Vega's singing is very clearly based on rockabilly singers like Elvis.
>>66260120
I think Ike Yard sound kinda similar
>>66258721
this
>>66259314
Flower travellin band - satori. Pls prove me wrong. I need moar
>>66260572
Is that seriously an album cover they have
>>66258721
Doesnt make it good
>>66260523
I know both of those facts, I just think the majority of STGSTV doesn't really fit that description and that non of Danse does either
They're both a pretty far cry from Padington Band
>>66257912
Vangelis - Earth, 1973

early Stereolab, Th' Faith Healers (though a lot noisier), Tortoise, even some moments from Sigur Rós
Prove me wrong.

Nick Drake sound pretty similar to me.
>>66259110
Devin Townsend + Blur 1993-1995
(also, their previous two albums)
>>66263029
Nick Drake's music generally has a similar tone to this album, but the actual sound and music style is pretty different, I'd say.

I'm Looking for an album by a band I can't remember the name of (shit). The cover art is of an animated bald person with fangs on a black backdrop. The name of the group has Nite in it and I remember it was styled like MSTRKRFT Or a similar group hope this rings a bell to someone.
>>66263115

>>66258946
I think it's supposed to be a Swans reference/crossover. Hope the guy who posted it doesn't think it's the actual cover
>>66263191
>"no"
True. It sounds exactly like PBMTGR but far worse******
>>66263241
"""no"""
surprised this hasnt been posted yet
imo the most unique album of the 90s
>>66263196
I could chant that for hours, followed by HAAAMBURGER LAADYYYYYY
>>66263121
Maybe a reference to what the art is similar too and the description will help
Try to find something that

>>66263284
yeah, uniquely bad
>>66262732

>>66263284
This one's pretty similar IMO, it's pretty great too.
If you like spiderland check it out

>>66264080
this
>>66258907
>Pavement on acid, dude.
I love both bands but I have no idea how you can think this. Are you just saying that because it's lo-fi and they said they loved Pavement when they were 14? Because there aren't many similarities other than that.
>>66264511
No
>>66257353
>albums that sounds like literally nothing else ever made

>albums no one can decide what they sound like
if anyone knows an album similar to this pls show me i need more of this
>>66262993
Hey, I was gonna post
I mean SILY sounds more unique but whatever this is the only pic downloaded on my phone
A bunch of people tried to copy the style and failed miserably
>>66266338
the difference is that eccojams doesn't hold up in retrospect and was eclipsed as the codifier of the vaporwave genre the second floral shoppe landed
>>66266338
>failed miserably
>>66266386
yes it does hold up, floral shoppe is just a meme
>>66266416
just because eccojams is less recognized than floral shoppe doesn't make it better, though I know /mu/ groupthink would have you believe otherwise
>>66266338
this is one of my least favorite vaporwave albums desu
>>66266416
>floral shoppe is just a meme
Dismissing things with no reasoning other than "it's a meme" is just a meme.
>>66266338
DJ Screw did the exact same thing m8.
Lopatin had to be aware of that even though the project wasn't serious.
>>66266386
>tfw Vektroid said that Skeleton was the actual codifier of vaporwave.
>>66266597
vektroid doesn't get a say in how her work is perceived

floral shoppe is mostly uninteresting compared to eccojams desu, vektroid's style of chopping samples just feels sloppy and uninteresting (unlike lopatin's which feels intentionally off-kilter.)
>>66266587
album name?
>>66266687
couldn't find that one. are you joking or something? what the frick?
>>66266694
that's not the right album wtf
>>66266666
>>66266587
album? artist?
No other album has this kind of interplay between layered classical guitars, weird fuzzy distortion that i still wonder how it was achieved everytime i listen to it.
Of course Mount Eerie and other Microphones albums share some similarities but Mount Eerie and The Glow pt.2 are both unique.
>>66259110
it's an amalgamation of a dozen or so different things so not really, even if overall, nobody else does their blend
Kiss Kiss' second album comes very close at times
>>66266687
haha ooh i get it now, it's just mount eerie with the letters flipped, you're funny
this album doesn't show up on itunes for me though. do i just download it off youtube or something?
>>66261497
You're right, it's good for other reasons

doesn't sound anything like soul coughing desu i love disco volante though

>>66266859
it's called The Microphones - Mount Eerie, you can buy it from their bandcamp.
>>66267156
it's very derivative, but still good compared to the rest of vaporwave that came afterward
most relevant vaporwave releases imo:
1. Chuck Person – Eccojams Vol. 1 (more or less invented the thing)
2. 骨架的 – Holograms (often neglected proto-vaporwave)
3. New Dreams Ltd. – Initiation Tape Part One (first real vaporwave album)
4. James Ferraro – Far Side Virtual (absolutely unique style)
5. Nmesh – Dream Sequins (latter-vaporwave masterpiece)
>>66267564

I was gonna, but I didn't have the energy to fight with the backlash. Hope you do, though.
I feel there are some albums that came out decades later that can kind of be called rightful heirs, though-
>>66269203
Many bands have been influenced by Faust (I think Thom Yorke even said he was) but I don't think anything actually sounds like that first album.

Been trying to find anything similar to no avail so far
Maybe Seefeel, Robert Rich or some guy's obscure stuff from Rephlex come close but idunno

>>66260363
i hate it when people don't post the names of the album if it's not on the cover. It's Jerry Paper - Big Pop for Chameleon World. It's like Mac Demarco plus Animal Collective in a stew of vaporwave.
