Wesley Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Hi folks it's me again! I'm in need of some music. Based on this song: Any suggestions? Thanks guuuuys, you're all the best!
The Bard Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Oh god yes, that track is simply gorgeous. Brian Eno can turn me into a great effervescing ball of stratospheric euphoria like nobody else. I'm assuming what you're looking for is more ambiance than song based structure Wessss? In which case: Etc.
The Bard Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 New Spektor album is a rookie mistake there Eddie, we all know the only good shit she's ever done was on Soviet Kitsch and Songs And the *proper* version of Samson, not the tacky, rushed version from Begin to Hope:
Paj! Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 [11:11 is good too] But yeah Regina is a pale imitation of what she once was. Like a damp...piece of fabric. What happened to songs like Oedipus, Daniel Cowman, Chemo Limo etc? Eet being the highlight of an album is a terrible terrible sign.
The Bard Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 It's worse than anyone else's musical output attrophying though because she was so unique, I genuinely cannot think of anyone who sounds like Regina Spektor, and now I'm stuck listening to the same two albums since I was like 17. Oh Regina Spektor. You cling to my soul like toilet tissue on a shoe.
EddieColeslaw Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 But the task was to find a song that matches the one Wesley posted, not to choose the best songs from an artist's repertoire :p Us is too upbeat. Samson suits as well though. The overall feel of Far is not as good as the albums before, but there are quite a few songs on it that I really like. To each their own? Though is that (your post) the general consensus? I never really had anyone to discuss her music with. On topic:
The Bard Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Well as long as we're free associating, the first thing that came to my mind when I head that choon from Eternal Sunshine (which I really fucking need to see again) was this:
Paj! Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Though is that (your post) the general consensus? I never really had anyone to discuss her music with. Yeah the general consensus amongst fans/listeners is that Far is her worst. And it is, so yeah. People say Begin To Hope was the beginning of the end (it was), but that has 10x the personality and fun of Far. But everything before Begin To Hope is better.
Wesley Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 You folks are the best! Awesome suggestions, thanks.
