Heres another thread that might be of interest, post music you've been listening to or stuff you'd recommend: I've been listening to this band Last Dinosau...

I've been listening to the covers that these two girls make. They call themselves PACIFICA and made a lot of covers of The Strokes, and others:

Other covers they made:

They also have some originals but they're not as good as the covers IMO.
Also, since we're talking about The Strokes, some extras from someone else:

Since I am a massive DOOMhead I would just copy and paste a YouTube link to Born Like This (go listen to it if you still haven't), but that would be boring.
I'll link this classic French punk album instead. I don't know why, but nobody talks about Bérurier Noir outside of France.

Salut à toi !

Darn. Yet another 80's album to listen to.

I just listened to this because Ross said his post. Gonna be honest here. Nothing I heard not a single song sounded revolutionary at all. Not bad but nothing stand out. No super sick riffs, no stand out vocals, and even the lyrics were just whatever.

Dunno about Fimm, but I agree, if anything. I just love the 80's : )

I found a cool youtube channel, it's just a guy posting a song every day from his playlists with an anime picture as background. No theme or anything. Name is Minimalist Delusion
Some music I found through him:

So ive been recently listening lots of Nightrunners soundtrack
I think it nicely goes along with speeding in a clapped out shitbox
Will definetly be burning as much of the songs into a CD to use in my shitbox

I haven't posted anything i've listened to in a while. the Protomen, a band i've been listening to for like 10 years is slowly (and hopefully) ramping up towards their 3rd major album, they released 1 song last year so i've been enjoying their stuff a lot again now, here's one of my favs from their album Act II, light up the night.

Note, I think we may want to rejig the way we do this thread, given youtube is so annoying now about how they display their videos + don't let you listen on another site for so many songs.

Sweet. Sweeeeet. This is definitely one the most the most faithful recreation of the 80's sound. I do not hear things that are this close to the original 80's hits often.

Lumeinshin Note, I think we may want to rejig the way we do this thread, given youtube is so annoying now about how they display their videos + don't let you listen on another site for so many songs.

That's been primary reason I haven't shared much. Kind of hate YouTube, even though this is the only platform to upload videos to comfortably. But not music. It's bad for music. Compresses quality to hell, among other things.
I'd rather upload files somewhere, but pixeldrain and the likes are not permanent and eventually the thread will be full of dead links, and I do not have much space on my cloud drives or whatever.
I mean, my whole collection is on DC++. but DC++ doesn't have links. I can creat a massive torrent, perhaps, but it would be pain in the butt to update it constantly...
Anyway, so far I have uploaded the small batch for permanent storage...

First two tracks are Super-Wolf. This guy is kind of awesome, I really dig his music. He only recorded, like, about half a dozen of records, and his main one - Super-Wolf Can Do It - is everywhere. Everything else though is a huge rarity. These two in particular took me on quite a hunt. A friend of mine ended up fishing them for me out of Soulseek - these are the best quality of these tracks I've heard online. I've further made an effort to clean them up of pops and clicks, and so here they are. I really miss the times when rap had this much influence from funk and a whole band was behind an MC rather than just a DJ. As much as I love DJs. Really though, why not to have both a turntable and a bass guitar?

Circuit Breaker by Zig-Zag - one of the best 80's hip-hop electro tracks I've ever heard. Kind of surprising I've never heard it in a game or a movie - it is really good, easily on par with the top bangers of the era. But, eh, went unnoticed, I guess.

The following track, despite the name Computer Funk, is probably the one that takes it further away from funk than any other track in this post - it is pretty much pure electro. I still like it though, and I spent quite some time cleaning this one up. But now the beat here is perfect, I guarantee it.

Funkmaster Ozone's music is electro-funk. I'm still not sure if these are modern tracks or the original 80's ones. Ozone presents them on his bandcamp as unreleased tracks from the 80's era, but the release has been in the late 2010's and the sound is way clean for actual 80's tracks. Or so they sound to me. But whether authentical or not, they definitely carry the spirit of the electro-funk to the maximum. Talkboxes all the way, I just love those magical things. Google for talkboxes if you've never heard about them, they are pure magic. And do a search for more of Funkmaster's music if you've liked these two tracks.

It seems like Germany still has the electro scene going strong (or at least had it going during the late 2010's; I'm pretty sure Egyptian Lover resides in Germany nowadays, aside from all other things), and Flashmaster Ray is another representative of this awesome modern electro sound. Though he perefers to skew it towards hip-hop zone, rather than a funk one. Still, just like with Ozone's tracks, if you like this one, you probably want to run a search for more of Flashmaster Ray's music.

Finally, we come to disco, and I want to share some of the underrated masterpieces from the rather short-lived space disco subgenre. These two tracks below, as far as I remember, are A-side and B-side of the only record Transvolta ever recorded. Sometimes they are unified under one name - those 7-minute long versions of Disco Computer you might find online are nothing but Disco Computer and You Are Disco joined together. This thing below is genuine original vinyl in the best quality I could find online (whatever there is on Apple Music is overcompressed garbage). I personally adore these tracks. The lyrics, in my opinion, are simple, but at the same time they are, in a sense, a perfect example to characterise the peak of the positive sci-fi, positive outlook for the future that was rather prevalent back in the days. He's got music and lights! He makes the drinks alright! And when you turn him on, you've got disco at home!
Disco computer! He is the future!

And the last song is named The Force. By the band named The Droids. Yeah, the ultimate Star Wars geek song, I guess. Hardly any fan songs of today can come close to this masterpiece:

Ross_R Jesus, I don't think I've ever heard 80s electronica that sounds more 80s than this. Good finds.

1996FordMondeo Lol, gabber. Good taste.

Lumeinshin I have a friend that is absolutely obsessed with that song. We listen to it all the time while driving each other around. I'll see if he knows about the possible 3rd album.

I typically listen to some pretty weird electronic music, but my #1 favorites typically end up in this weird space between indie, jazz, and electronic. Right now it's LA Priest - Party Zute / Learning to Love.

1996FordMondeo

Just gonna post some of the music I listen in my Alfa(when it drives)
https://www.discogs.com/release/2302221-Various-Trance-Dance-96
https://www.discogs.com/release/164334-Various-Hardcore-Generation-III (I found this just laying in park)
i guess 90s techno really fits the car.
Will need to go trough my dads old disc collection for more.
Also need to learn how to burn CDs and find my CD binder.
Yeah I could get a modern doubledin unit but man I dislike em.

You are most welcome. If you'll ever get into DC++, you can grab a somewhat big folder of similar stuff off my PC.

I found this CD in park when I was in the netherlands.

If we will really live in a cyberpunk dystopia, I want music like this as the soundtrack

The band I went to see at the start of the year finally released their new album. NEX-GEN by Bring Me the Horizon.
its... Alright.. I think part of the issue with it is they released pretty much all the songs with vocals as singles over the past year/two.
I am a fan of YOUtopia though, and they are doing pre-orders on the physical versions.. including Cassette.. So I will have to get it 🙂

In an unrelated and entirely different tone.. I've had this from Alan Wake 2 playing more than I probably should whilst i've been working

That's unexpectedly relatable. I've never even played any Alan Wake game yet I've listened to Herald of Darkness dozens of times in a row before, same with The Poet and the Muse. Old Gods of Asgard are something else.

It's been almost 10 years since I got into DnB. Jungle. Breakbeat Hardcore. The whole thing. There's been times when I've gotten tired of it all and took breaks, but I always come back to it. Here's a mix I've been obsessing over recently. Surprised I haven't gotten to it sooner considering how much I enjoy early liquid DnB. Would highly recommend if you already enjoy newer stuff. Whole lotta good vibes here:

1996FordMondeo

So recently ive been heavily listening to these kinds of mixes on yt

As for music in the car, I am listening mainly to a radio station that plays 50s to 80s greatest hits

I saw someone mention Van Der Graaf Generator earlier in this thread, which surprised me cause they're pretty much completely unknown outside the prog circles. I don't know what song was recommended here as the video isn't available anymore, but anyways, suffice it to say that it is my favourite band of all time. Here is a classic:

I've also been listening to a lot of Marillion lately, but only the from the Fish era. I don't know why these guys get so much hate, they're absolutely terrific. Their last album with Fish, "Clutching at Straws" is my favourite, I've been listening to it religiously for the past 6 months or so! It's also where my profile picture is from.
