Was thinking about making a mix cd for reading PDcom. Mostly stuff without vocals to listen to while you take in the landscape of horrormirth.
If anyone's interested, I'll mail you one when I'm done. Or just email a download link, depending.
interested!
plz to include Danny Elfman's overture fromPee Wee's big adventure
I believe I have that, actually. "Music For A Darkened Theatre" album?
If you want some dark, post-apocalyptic industrial ambient sounds, try track Cryotank Expansion by Covenant from album Dreams of a Cryotank.
Or there's that something something red birds something track by this famous sort of gothic/ambient group, I hate it, but if you want gloom and doom, that may be good. But as I said I hate it, so if you don't know which I'm talking about, that's fine with me ;-)
Also, in the line of PeeWee, there is of course The Builders by Kim & Buran.
Ooh and Boards of Canada, Beware of the Friendly Stranger (short, but you may recognize it)
more, youtube and/or (legal) download links provided where I could find them:
Chris Korda - Victim of Leisure (http://www.churchofeuthanasia.org/mp3/01_victim_of_leisure.mp3) (album Six Billion Humans Can't Be Wrong) (maybe skip the first 2:30)
Dimensional Holofonic Sound - LSD 3D Dub Version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aaaSfDuRZE) (youtube track misses the intro)
Chromeo - You're so gangsta
OTT - ROFLcopter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrR5ksrGGVw) (seriously check this track, the guy is a discordian--or at least has the T-shirt--and the one line of vocals in this track is a pretty good rant)
Hallucinogen in Dub - Gamma Goblins ['it's turtles all the way down' mix] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGcH0YDhwg4) (crazy creepy)
Does it Offend You, Yeah? - Attack of the 60ft Lesbian Octopus
Eat Static - The Curious Dr. Hump (creepy crazy ambient)
Hallucinogen - Demention (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j49jqewI984) ("Unsane, beyond insanity ...")
Infected Mushroom - None of this is Real (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpXM0Z7U8c0)
Plastikman - Ask Yourself
...
and then i was out of time for looking up more.
Cain was awesomeenough to complile 5 playlists worth of music by and for the good people of PD.com a year or so ago.
If you ask nicely, he may even PM you the uplink.
I remember that! I downloaded one of them, but lost it in a hard drive crash. :x
Thanks for the suggestions, 000. I've already made the initial playlist and tried it out as a CD, but tweaking is required and I might grandfather in some of what you've given me.
Turns out I might have to edit down the Pee Wee overture to keep it all onto one CD.
This is becoming something of an impressionist compilation, less focused on vocals and "bands", and more based around music that's (kind of) undistracting, so it could do well as music for reading by, or as a mix for long drives.
I've also got a good idea for the cover art, too. :)
Steve Roach's music might fit the bill. Well, maybe not for long drives though. It tends to be rather drone-y.
What I'm going for is darkly quixotic, perhaps at times terrifying, but not gloomy or depressive.
Bill Laswell's dub/ambient CDs. There's a lot of them.
Cool!
I get the feeling I could learn a lot from paying closer attention to the "what are you listening to" thread.
Pretty much all of the Myst franchise has really good ambient soundtracks. I like to throw them all together and hit shuffle.
I just listen to Yakkity Sax on repeat.
I am currently trying to listen to everything in my mp3 library. 31 days worth of music, on shuffle, and removing tracks once played.
I am still going to be here come Xmas on the same playlist.

Listening to him now, and I was just about to find an appropriate thread to post this quote from a friend:
Mark: "If they had made the
Lord of the Rings trilogy with Tom Bombadil in it, he should have been played by Ian Anderson."
Evil Nine
Way Out West
Fing-a-Thing's "Walk in Space"

OTT - ROFLcopter (seriously check this track, the guy is a discordian--or at least has the T-shirt--and the one line of vocals in this track is a pretty good rant).
Oh, I got the OTT album 'Skylon,' on the strength of 'ROFLcopter.' Was not disappointed. Your taste is impeccable, sir! :) Grooving to Signals from 'Bob,' which is filled with slowed down RAW samples. :lulz:
Yeah! I personally think his first album "Blumenkraft" is a bit better (especially track 1 which is one of my favourite chillout tracks ever), but yeah the RAW samples and ROFLcopter make Skylon pretty sweet indeed :)
And from what I seen in interviews with Twisted Records, what Simon Posford (of Shpongle fame) has in pompous arrogance, Ott (which is just his name, not short for anything, he said) makes up in awesome, funny, laidback and wearing a "You're a Pope" shirt :D
Bump-
It's finished, PM me for a link.
This is version 3, I didn't like the first two. Spent a long time trying to get the feel right, without using stuff anyone's probably heard of before.
ANYBODY?
Just listened to it, I'm really impressed. Fits well with the atmosphere here, and is actually really good as forum reading music, not too distracting but still musical enough to be nice in the background. Creepy too - I listened to a few tracks while in the shower and I had a couple horror movie moments when reaching for the shower gel. :lulz:
:mittens: to you, good sir. (Bonus mittens for making it .wav :D)
The whole thing was inspired by track 1. Just too perfect.
