Let's Calm

[SensualEthiopianPolice]

I think a lot of us a very high strung. Let's calm down with some music and then we'll listen to some ragas. I have one here to start us off. 

 

[ziscor]

Alright. Who has the grass? 

[Broxzier]

The music reminds me of Koyaanisqatsi.

I hope this thread isn't restricted to just ragas music, because I have some nice videogame-style/techno music to recommend...

If it is, I might just have to start my own music thread

why not listen to some drone music instead 

 

[ziscor]

For me, Drone music sounds very chaotic and random. To that extent, it brings anxiety to my mind.

Can this thread be just about everyone's taste in music? I enjoy listening to these things.  

Here's something that gets me up and about very easily:

 

[YoloSweggLord]

How about something a bit more adventurous-- something with an epic feel to it? Maybe a bit of videogame-style to it?

@SensualEthiopianPolice that drone music sounds like earrape to me...

If we're just gonna recommend music:

Well, we have shifted more towards a vocal selection of music here. Let's get back on track (if there is one even, lol):

 

[Broxzier]

Music thread!

 

[SensualEthiopianPolice]

why not? 

 

[YoloSweggLord]

I'd feel kinda guilty if I didn't write anything to accompany the song so hi

[Broxzier]

That's a nice song YoloSwegLord, been listening to it a few times since you posted it.

 

One of my all time favourite playlists.

[YoloSweggLord]

I wish I had 8 continuous hours of working to listen to that.

Oh wait, I do...

[YoloSweggLord]

@Broxzier 25 minutes in and I'm enjoying this music, thanks!

were you talking about Waterflame-Final Battle or M Craft-Dragonfly (Memro Bootleg)?

Yes, really like that song. And glad you're enjoying that mix I've listened to it so many times that at any point I know which song comes next, yet it doesn't get boring.

[ziscor]

Wonderful playlist, @Broxzier! It's going in my personal collection.  

Here's something that is hard to surpass in epicness:

Add in the fact that people who molded our world history have listened to this same melody in their life (including, but not restricted to Adolf Hitler) and you're bound to start doing something productive. Like taking a crap. Seriously, try taking a crap with this music on. Best minutes on the toilet you'll ever have. Trust me.

Ziscor, don't you dare try and tell me that the hack that is Richard Wagner is epic.

[ziscor]

Unless you can give me something more epic than that, maybe I am telling you that.  

[SensualEthiopianPolice]

First of all, Led Zeppelin's entire is probably more epic. Second, Ride of The Valkyries is one of those songs that people listen to when they say they listen to classical music, as in movie music. It offers little in the way of complexity and creates superficial emotion that goes well in a scene where a movie can back it up but not on its own. 

[ziscor]

That's very much your personal opinion, I guess. I like it when I want instant boosts of energy. How do you not feel that in it's tone?

The reason I love it is because it has a simple melody that is easy to catch on. That's not to say there aren't subtle undertones throughout the music. The more complex a melody becomes the more forgettable it is. And the less likely you are of wanting to listen to it again. This is the justification I think of when people say '8-bit video game music is very memorable'. More memorable music will always leave a better effect on you than a musical piece that doesn't have a clear cut melody. 

There. That's my opinion. In any case, Led Zeppelin sure is epic as well.  It stands right beside my Assassin's Creed OST folder.
