NI64 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 This came to me in a dream last night - I was listening to a mystery album and thought "This sounds just like Music Is Rotted..." But I woke up and thought about it, and not much music comes to mind for me. Definitely some Miles Davis is close, but that tends to be a lot busier and more chaotic. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions (jazz or otherwise) that capture the sort of murky, smoky, basement jam feel of this album.

J3FF3R00 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 I always felt that a lot of the the 90s Tortoise stuff is is a similar vein. Same with the early mogwai stuff.

Bob Dylan Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 For a modern touch, I would get Panthalassa . It's an official Miles Davis release, and features remixes of his 70's output into 90's fusion/ambiant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panthalassa:_The_Music_of_Miles_Davis_1969–1974 prdctvsm, Extralife, Richie Sombrero and 1 other 3 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Bob Dylan's signature Hide all signatures *** This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation *** helping America into the New World...

I rinsed them so hard for years I stopped getting any pleasure out of them. I may be able to go back now.

They are pretty great. This one isn't their best imo, it just meanders and the constant ride cymbal gets tiresome, but it definitely has the Music Is Rotted atmosphere down otherwise. Actually I was just thinking how their self-titled album is somewhat reminiscent of HND-era squarepusher, but that would be another thread. Either way it seems likely they are influenced by him s.o.t.s. is my favourite, it's a beast on headphones Edited March 7, 2022 by toaoaoad thefxbip 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/102159-albums-like-music-is-rotted-one-note/#findComment-2908517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefxbip Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Kinda obvious but im mentioning it anyway. Psychedelic era Miles Davis and Herbie probably? Sun Ra can get quite synth heavy wild spacey smokey. (man that Sun Ra solo is crazy, found it while searching for stuff for this thread on youtube never heard it before) Edited March 7, 2022 by thefxbip splesh and Extralife 2 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/102159-albums-like-music-is-rotted-one-note/#findComment-2908566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
