EVERYTHING by Flying Saucer Attack is 8.5-10/10
So underrated, GOAT Elephant 6
>>73526458
Their newest album (instrumentals) is kinda meh imo, granted I haven't listened to it in a while
>>73525780
awesome
>>73526427
>>73526584
keep em coming guys
>>73526458
agreed
>Dead Can Dance - s/t
>spiritualistic ethereal wave
>before they went full spiritualismy and were still kinda gothy
>other ethereal wave exists besides Cocteau Twins... though they're good too
>>73526944
so fucking happy someone else loves Dead Can Dance on here. Their live albums are even better somehow. You into This Mortal Coil? Sisters of Mercy?
>>73527214
This Mortal Coil is pretty dope, granted it's pretty much just various artists on 4AD. Haven't listened to Sisters of Mercy though, I'll have to check them out
>>73527304
I have a friend that owns a record shop who grew up in the goth scene in the mid-80s so he showed me all that stuff when i was pretty young. Dead Can Dance is his favorite band and then he showed me This Mortal Coil, Sisters of Mercy, Sioxsie and the Banshees, early Swans, Cabaret Voltaire, Love & Rockets... its a scene i never saw myself falling in love with.
>>73527382
I've been into spiritualy music, like popol vuh and some dark ambient, for a little while now, so I guess Dead Can Dance is kinda my transition into more gothy stuff, which I'm trying to listen to more of now
>>73525483
Spacemen 3 were before and completely different, and they influenced a lot of music
If anything FSA was "overshadowed" like you say by generic shoegaze, I agree that FSL is underated
Just like The Telescopes "Taste" and S/T where extremely important but went under the radar
FSL claimed to be heavily influenced by "Taste", you can hear it in the guitar sound
>>73527304
you realize This Mortal Coil is mostly 4ad bands doing covers, once you hear the originals the 4ad covers are unlikable
very early 4AD is quite good however, it's never ever mentioned here : Cindytalk, In Camera, Mass, Rema Rema, etc
>>73528383
The versions of Fond Affections and Kangaroo are goat, especially with that cello on Kangaroo
Anything by unwound
>>73530654
>unwound
>don't get posted much here or talked about elsewhere.
Good shit though. Leaves Turn Inside You, Fake Train and New Plastic Ideas are great.
>best album from 2000's
>crawling
>bet you still remember every song
>11/10
i never see this posted here
best jazz ive ever listened to
>>73525483
2nd best shoegaze album ever
>>73526427
always mentioned in the context of spiderland - but good standing on its own feet
Still his best solo album.
>>73530733
Thanks anon, ill check it out.
I never see this jazz album posted here either, one of my favorites. Very Noir and moody.
>>73530733
>sounds like John Zorn
>realize it is John Zorn
Nice one anon, crazy shit. Blasting now.
>>73530707
How about broadcast - tender buttons
>>73530817
Never heard that, nice vibes.
This is a legit masterpiece and belongs on every /mu/core chart.
>>73526944
I prefer Withing the Realm of a Dying Sun to this but the s/t is really good too. I put it on every time I feel like I just want a more post-punk feel out of them instead of the ethereal synth wave stuff.
THIS
>>73527382
I was a teen in the 90's and grew up around the goths from the 80's who gave me buckets of tapes. I'm still friends with my girlfriend from back then who is still into the scene and knows lots of the bands personally.
she got into a fistfight with the woman that owned carpe noctum magazine in 1998, because the woman said i was a poser for not being dressed like lestat (I never got into the clothes, because I was both poor, and I never was THAT GUY) in 1998 at a show we drove 2 days to see. she gave her a southern ass whupin.
Overshadowed by the big players of trip-hop. Easily my favorite from the genre, even though there's lots of ambient-y (and other genre) stuff on it too
Seattle grunge band that was overshadowed by other Seattle grunge bands of the time. They truly (heh) had a unique, mellow psychedelic sound to them.
>>73531006
She sounds kickass what happened
Bob Mould's second band that got mild radio airplay for about two years in the 90s. Solid heavy power pop that bridges 80s alt/underground with 90s alt rock.
twee as fuck
>Tamaryn - The Waves
>shoegaze/psych pop/desert rock
the flow of the album is unbelievably smooth and beautiful. I am such a sucker for that desert rock influenced shoegaze that's been coming out of Australia/New Zealand.
tired of people calling this generic shoegaze. A blend of influences and experimentation that straight up feels like getting lost in the desert on peyote
I will never stop shilling this band.
I don't think there's a single Pioulard record I dislike
Todesstoß - Hirngemeer
>german black metal
>avant-garde
>harmonica
Possibly the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life.
It feels like it's hard to talk about this album without someone bringing up World Peace.
every year or so i post this album in 10/10 or underrated album threads, and i always see other people post it all around for a couple months, then its completely forgotten again
this motherfucker wont die to me. ive played it on loop for days over and over so many times since it came out, and ill never get tired of it.
What is that 10+ year old album that will never be old to you no matter how hard you try? Your "Linkin Park - In the End", so to speak
>>73530985
agreed
>>73535606
got a comparative literature major bud studying in la who would love to talk for hours with you about john maus
>>73533916
painkillers, her daddy issues and low self esteem, her family being old southern aristocracy that lost everything after the war, then what was left after the great depression and them being fucking assholes.
>>73534636
>>73535333
good taste
>>73525483
>Truckfighters, Gravity X
>2005/Stoner Rock
>The genre was vastly outleagued by QotSA success after Kyuss
>>73540000
>these digits
my my
>>73540000
My fuckin nigger
>>73530772
Sunset Mission is better IMO
>>73540000
Absofuckinglutely.
Also, this.
>>73536251
>p4k's "The Unbearable Whiteness of Indie" has no mention of TV on the Radio who has mostly black members
That could've been an interesting counter example in that article, but the entire thing is just a fit at white people. TotR are definitely underrated.
