Richard Davies - There's Never Been a Crowd Like This

Really good inventive pop music, great production values, and very nice sound quality. The collaboration with Eric Matthews on the Cardinal record is totally excellent as well, though I'd recommend the original release, not the much louder remaster. Emitt Rhodes had a similar baroque pop record way back in 1970 that is now kind of a classic, though personally, I'd give the edge to Cardinal.

And if you don't know Morphine, Cure For Pain has been one of my favorite listens lately. Almost 15 years old, but still the best. Buena buena buena!

Morphine - Thursday.flac

Richard Davies - Chips Rafferty.flac

and a couple other recent nice sounding ones ...

Sun Kil Moon - Tonight In Bilbao.flac

Nina Nastasia - One Old Woman.flac

Magnolia Electric Co. - Talk To Me Devil, Again.flac

Wow, you have extremely similar tastes to my own. I like/love the majority of the bands you listed.


As for recommendations, I've been listening to a lot of a band called Cloud Cult lately. They're an experimental indie rock band and I've been enjoying them immensely, so given your tastes, I recommend checking them out.

Listen to their new album, Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes). It's my favourite album thus far in 2008. It's definitely worth a listen (especially the last 4 tracks).

I can offer many other recommendations but that's first on my list because I've been enjoying that album so much lately.

Next on my list would have to be UNKLE. Given the fact that you like Massive Attack, Portishead, DJ Shadow, and Radiohead, I can't imagine you not liking UNKLE. They're an experimental electronic band with three albums (one hip-hop influenced, one electronic influenced, and one rock influenced) and the band has enlisted many big name guest stars in the past (including Thom Yorke, 3D from Massive Attack, DJ Shadow, Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age, Richard Ashcroft from The Verve etc...) Their second album in particular is really fantastic (Never Never Land, which is their primarily electronic album). I highly recommend them.

[Ttvetjanu]

Wow, I listen to a lot of similar music.

I would recommend: Amon tobin (all his albums are good imo, but I might start with Out from out where and his new album foley room), Lamb - Between darkness and wonder. How about gorillaz - Gorillaz, Demon Days?

I would also strongly recommend Zero7 and Simian mobile disco. Venetian Snares is also very good, might sound a little wierd at first but it grows on you, especially if you like aphex twin. For Venetian Snares I would recommend Rossz Csillag Allat Született and My downfall.

Please tell me how those work for you and I might be able to continue recommendations on the same lines.
