Chill-out/ Down-tempo/ Ambient/ Classical/ Post Rock/ Etc.

Post by Shomari »

Title too short. Prog-Rock is cool too I guess. Nothing too upbeat if you catch my drift. (More like Porcupine Tree and Less like K.Crimson or Yes)

-Stuff you would listen to while watching a breeze blow through a tree while birds fly across the sky.
As the sun falls below the horizon. Get what I'm saying?

That is wonderful music. I love Portishead and Massive Attack and such. :)

I can probably watch the birds and trees under any music. In fact I know for sure I would try to imagine some kind of situation related to the music. (example rise against - survive -> watch as the falling leaves struggle to stay in the air (survive) :P)

way too jumpy for me at least. first song got off to a good start.
second song was too fast for me.
too much electronic not enough ambiance. sounds like this belongs more in the electro thread.

I liked some of the stuff you posted earlier.



@EvGa that Hemsey song was awesome I'm gonna have to buy that album. and then the non-instrumental version too.



@Azilius
I'm liking that toe. lol

First solo work from a member of Bon Iver. The entire album is solid. Accompanied me through many quiet drives to and from work. Now every time I listen to it, autumn leaves are all I see.

Came across it through House M.D.

First, TWDY, always good. Second, it really is amazing. I've seen my taste in music shift drastically in the last year. Perhaps it's just a byproduct of growing up and really listening to the music/lyrics/etc. In the last 2 months I've really shifted towards more indie, post rock, folk, etc music. Since going through a rough, sudden, breakup recently I've found myself really enjoying music that stirs emotions. Not in an emo sort of way, more in a "life is beautiful, I want to make the most of mine" kind of way. After being so low for a few weeks I found music to pull me up. /no emo /no beta /ramble over

Prophet Izaach, very nice!

This fit? I'm sure most here have heard it. Mellows out around 0:20.

I feel ya, man. Purity Ring is definitely a group worth looking out for, they just put out their third song last week which is also really good.
