Taking Recommendations

First band that came to mind was Weidorje because I think with them you get both a kind of psychedelic space rock and Zeuhl. And its a great album.

I think that you might enjoy Adonis by Anyone's Daughter. And you might want to check out Tako.

As for Pink Floyd, I just got to know a band from Mexico called Ekos, which began doing Pink Floyd covers (thus the name). They have done two great albums (in spanish), particularly their secon one "Otra Dimensión". Another band I really want to get into that I understand has some Floyd sound, but haven't really heard so much yet, is SBB, from Poland. And in general polish bands seem to have that sound... there's the obvious one, Riverside (though that one is metal, but with some very nice Floyd sounding atmosphere), and the one I just got into latley, Georgius, with two really wonderful albums. Another one similar to Georgius (though not polish) is Soup, also their last album is wonderful (Remedies). And of course, there's Porcupine Tree... specially the live album "Coma Divine" has some very Floyd sounding moments which you should check out.

If anyone isn't aware that band Witsend eventually evolved into Syzygy who you also might want to check out.

Hi,

moshkito wrote: Hi, I do not like to suggest anything ... to me, part of the excitement of new music, is how it hits you when you discover it the first time, outwith anyone telling you anything. It surprises your ideas and values and thoughts and it excites you to no one, and those discoveries are always the best. One's suggestion is OK, but you really have to learn for yourself, what it is that you are looking for, and for that to work correctly, you have to experiment with your own thoughts, not someone else's. something attracts you to it, go there and find out what it is, kind of thing, in the arts ... this is its greatest gift to you, and no one can give this to you since it is an internal feeling that is specific to you.

In short... you posted on a "Recommendations" thread, to tell us you don't like giving recommendations... I feel the most logical course of action (without subverting the point of the thread) would be to not recommend things and just not post about this at all.

Also, I prefer recommendations, because I am a lazy person who is perfectly content to listen to Pink Floyd and nothing else. Recommendations are the only reason I explore other music anymore.

As well as the excellent Weidorje suggestion for Zeuhl I'd check out Eskaton, Shub Niggurath, Eider Stellaire, One Shot, Koenji Hyakkei & Setna

Your recommendation was that recommendations are bad... on a thread about recommending music.

And I don't particularly care. I like what I like. If I don't like a recommendation I don't. It doesn't detract from an experience at all. It makes no difference if I discover a band on my own or via a recommendation. If I like the music I like it, regardless of how I discovered them.

Go on and be an illogical party pooper. I'm sure telling people that they are "a listening slave" for taking recommendations gets you tons of friends and makes you really like-able, and doesn't make you come off as a commandeering and stuck up control freak.

If you have nothing useful to offer, please leave. I would rather listen to music than grouches.
