Regarding Emotional Music
This is in reference to this thread
We got into a discussion concerning "emotional" music, to which I explained that I felt that some of the music I listened to was more emotional than all of the "emo" genre. To prove this I have uploaded a file full of amazing songs. Quote:

Re: Regarding Emotional Music
Godspeed You! Black Emperor never fails to send a chill down my spine. They prove words are unnecessary to express ideas and emotions. Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Ros in ( ) (Hopelandic album conveying no true verbal message) pull this off very nicely as well.

Re: Regarding Emotional Music
I have all the Explosions In The Sky albums and I also own 3 Sigur Ros albums (Takk, (), and Ágætis Byrjun [which is my favourite]). They are indeed awesome. I just chose GY!BE because I felt they expressed things better than others.

Re: Regarding Emotional Music
I'll download it tomorrow, but I'm going to go play a bit of FFR.
P.S. In case you guys don't realize it, emo music isn't supposed to only be about emotion. If it were, then almost all music would be considered emo. |

Re: Regarding Emotional Music
Again, I don't want to sound like her unofficial spokesperson, but.. Hiromi Uehara's trio and her Hiromi's Sonicbloom project manage to convey as much emotion music and instruments could ever do on their own.
Reaper, you never did say whether you liked the album I linked. |

Re: Regarding Emotional Music
Did I not say anything? I enjoyed it quite a lot. She reminded me a little of a modern day version of Jean-Luc Ponty. Led Boots was probably my favourite song on first listen. Though I'll probably need more listens to let it sink in more.
Also - I chose some of my favourite songs on short notice that I felt displayed what I was talking about. My song choice may have been slightly different (or at least larger) if I had taken more time with this. Granted what I have in that rar is awesome. |

Re: Regarding Emotional Music
First off, sorry for the slight bump.
Anyways, I listened to all of the songs except A Place in the Queue (which I'll listen to today) and I really liked some of them. I really like Cloudy Now and All Sweet Things, and oh my god, the Godspeed You! song was incredible! Thank you for showing me such an amazing band. I thought Cliche and Haunted were cheesy as hell though. I'm probably going to upload an emotional mix soon, it will have some emo and screamo stuff and some that's not. |

Re: Regarding Emotional Music
Haunted is a completely different style to everything in that rar so I'll let you away with that one.
Cliche is not "cheesy" at all. Cliche is exactly what the song says; a man who struggles to find a way to express his love to someone but is forced to go back to the old Cliches. I think it's amazing, but hey. Yes, No-Man and Blackfield are awesome. Same guy in both bands by the by. Steven Wilson. He's also in Porcupine Tree (his main band), Bass Communion (electronic soundscape stuff), IEM (Incredible Expanding Mind****), and also does some silly solo stuff. GY!BE is amazing yes, that entire album is great but that's my favourite song on the album. A Place In The Queue is a different kind of emotional just to let you know. Also - It's a very "British" band with a lot of the witty lyrics relating to Britain and whatnot, but that song should be pretty universally acceptable. At least you checked it out. |
