Dave
Brubeck - Brubeck Plays Brubeck - 1956 - This is improvisational Jazz,
it is sort of like stream of consciousness music, one minute he plunks
away happily and then plunges into a moody attitude. Just feel it bro.
You might also recognize his style from some Charlie Brown cartoons.
M83
- Saturdays = Youth - 2008 - Like their name seems to suggest M83's
sound is sort of a throwback to synth heavy 80's pop, but there is also a
deep shoegazer aesthetic. It sounds like a magical dream world
populated by unicorns, luck dragons, and Molly Ringwald. It has all the
pretentious yet serious sadness of youth. It's like a musical version of
a John Hughes film.
Loretta
Lynn & Conway Twitty - Country Partners - 1974 - this is one of
those "so cheesy it's good" albums. You can really tell that they have
fun singing and recording together even if the pedal steel saturated
songs get a tad annoying.
Wendy
O Williams - Kommander of Kaos - 1986 - This music would really be a
lot cooler if Motorhead hadn't done it first. But that isn't the point,
Wendy O is all about the visceral and material world of explosions,
chainsaws and car crashes.
Hans Wurman - The Moog Strikes Bach - 1969 - Moogs are awesome (and yes i will correct you if you don't pronounce it "mogue" like "rogue") the best track is "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor." Sometimes though this guy uses the mod wheel a bit too much for my liking.
