Different kind of music

['lectric drumma]

I was just wondering... we all know rock, jazz, metal, classical music etc. But do you guys from no matter where you are know e.g. folk, kleinkunst (heck, kleinkunst probably not - freely translated: smallart).

I'd say, check this out:
http://www.7digital.com/stores/listi...erartist=39823 just click an album and than "beluister" (= listen).

His name is Bart Peeters, he's the drummer of this clip I posted quite some time ago (yes, it's the same guy! ) http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=OsLevxGguGs


This is a from Bart Peeters and Ronny Mosuse (bass player in the above), but older: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=uqllKC...eature=related

Another band: Laïs: http://nl.youtube.com/results?search...rch_type=&aq=f
Edit: just started listening to Laïs: I like this one: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=3jTJPizpCRY


I'm curious if you guys know that kind of music too...

You must like accordion music.

I listened to Mr. Peeter's stuff (samples of first four cuts on the blue album) and it sounds like 'European' music - background for movies when a character is in Germany or something. The movie 'National Lampoon's European Vacation' had some traditional dancers, and if I remember right, similar music. Puts me in mind also of Polka.

The guys in the swamp I remembered from when you posted it last year, and all I could think was, I hope they're not plugged in! Sounded good, but couldn't understand them of course (you might've also had a link last time to the translation I think).

'She Goes Nana' reminded me of some of The Byrd's stuff. 'I'm Into Folk' was a surprise, but has a definite Irish/Gaelic overtones. U2 would probably be comfortable with that style.

So yeah, the links you provided seem to be familiar types of music. Especially for someone who still thinks The Righteous Brothers, The Mamas and The Papas and others made some of the best music ever.

Hmm... accordeon music... Well frankly, I think I do like it, although I might not really know it myself... Bizar, isn't it? Let's say, the first time I saw an accordeon was on a boattrip, many years ago, as a child. There was someone just playing old classic flemish songs. Than, years went by and I never really had contact with accordeon anymore, but with these kinds of music, yeah, actually I do like it.

A couple of years, I found out about these guys, using accordeon as well, and I must say, I really like there music. Happy, and you wouldn't guess since it's such happy music, but with explicit lyrics...

Edit: I really like this one, we played a version with own lyrics of it in the musicacademy some years ago. It's great how they change style of music, and which instruments they all throw in: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=SAmf2I...eature=related Of this specific song, I once looked up a translation of the lyrics, and some could indeed find them explicit... BTW, they are a Spannish band. Enjoy!

How did you like Laïs?

Hey Stijn

You'd probably like Cajun-style music then. Down around Louisiana they use a lot of accordion music.

Gin Blossoms used it a little, particularly on the appropriately titled 'Cajun Song' from their 'New Miserable Experience' CD. I have that and 'Congratulations-I'm Sorry' album, both of which are pretty decent. I looked on youtube but the only two I could find of 'Cajun Song' they used guitars in concert (but accordion on the CD). Guess they couldn't take the accordion player on the road.

I don't know how you'd find more Cajun stuff, but that should give you a start. Oh yeah, search youtube for The Subdudes, and for Cajun music in general. The Subdudes also have a percussionist that does some interesting things with his drums.

I liked Laďs. I tend to prefer middle-of-the-road music a lot of the time, and they fit that. If they did more in English I'd like 'em better.

Hey Bruce

I think I could listen to The Subdudes every now and then.

Just to make sure, it's not that I'm that much of an accordeon lover... But I do think it's a versatile instrument. Kinda like a very portable piano for the one-band artist, I mean, you can play the bass part as well as the rest...

As far as my taste in music, my friends are into hip hop, but I am into folk. Err... no, wait a minute, that's the lyrics of one of the songs above Seriously though, let's say there is a lot of kinds of music I like... depending on the mood and the moment of course... Jazz, funk, fusion, but also rock, metal, folk (see above), flemisch music. But if you're gonna ask me what I listen to mostly... All time favorite band... Dream Theater. But also Spock's Beard (the album Snow is súper), Neil Morse (I've got One, like it a lot).

And of course: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=njPWBTIv9qw

http://www.paradiselost.co.uk/albums/ Icon and Draconian Times were back in the days practically non-stop in my walkman, I was so crazy about this band.
http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=i3FnQMSD4Zg very good band also... So sad

Just to name a few...

Hey Stijn,

Accordion-muziek, ik weet wel beter!, volgens mij had Bart Peeters ooit les gehad van Mel Lewis.
Goeie muzikanten, goeie muziek!
Steve

You've got similar tastes as mine. The first link - Sirenia - is 'cool' (others watch the video and you'll get the pun). Except I don't know how the guys can keep bobbing their heads up and down and not fall over from dizziness or headaches every so often!

Swanheart from Nightwish was a little too operatic for me. I checked out Elvenpath which was a little more to my liking. It seems like there's a lot of 'epic' groups or music over there, along the lines of Led Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song' or 'Misty Mountain Hop.' Rock opera with a lot of tragic themes. Is that the case? Or just what you like? Epica (third link) seems to be up this alley as well.

Couldn't really understand Paradiselost. I listened to 'The Word Made Flesh' and 'Mortals Watch The Day' from the Shades of God album but I couldn't hardly understand the lyrics. Metal is not really my cup of tea. I could listen to a little but after a bit it starts shredding my nerves. Maybe I'm too old. Are they a Christian band?

Alice In Chains ('would?') wasn't bad. A little more tame than Paradiselost in some ways, but still pretty much Metal. I could actually understand some of the lyrics!

Thanks for sharing.

I'm not a hip-hop fan either, but John Reuben does a song that I'd like my band to cover. Not quite as intense as Paradiselost or Alice In Chains.

I mentioned the Subdudes and heard them in a park concert here in Colorado one time but I'm not really a fan. They are interesting, and do some interesting songs, but overall I'm not wild about them either.

Oooooo I'll be examining this in greater detail very soon!! thank you for this!!

I saw the first clip "swamp" and thought of Black Debbath (Love em) and then went on to I'm into folk and I loved that too!

Paradise Lost is a bit a tricky band, I mean, the albums from before "Icon" and "Draconian Times" are kinda different. I do like those 2 albums a lot, but I'm not that much of a fan of the previous albums. I've got some songs of "One Second" (titel track is great) as well, those are great too.

As far as rock opera's is concerned, I actually don't know American bands that make that kind of music, mostly European bands. Black and Death metal is mostly from up north I think (Norway, Sweden,...) and some in Belgium and Holland. And I've got the impression that East-European countries do have some real metal bands as well, but I can't think of any names at the moment and I'm at work right now.

One band/project I forgot to mention is Ayreon... You really should check that out... I've got the CD's "The Human Equation" (featuring 12 singers I believe, among who is James Labrie) and "The Final Experiment" at home. http://www.arjenlucassen.com/ayreon/ay_albums.html Just click Ayreon in youtube and you'll find quite a lot. The song "Love" is a great one with great voices. The two albums I mentionned are a complete story - rock opera's.

This is the startpage: http://www.arjenlucassen.com/index2.html

On the bottom left of this page are 2 videoclips, I don't have the albums of it, but I actually 'd like to buy them since I really like those 2 songs: the songs "Out in the real world" and "Spellbound" http://www.streamofpassion.com/
I do like this kind of music. And I like the difference in those things between the soft/fragile female voice and the male screams as well, as you can find in songs by Epica... I can't believe I didn't like Epica in the beginning, hehe...

Wolfencopter, glad you like it... If other bands come up, I'll post some links.

Hey Stijn,

Accordion-muziek, ik weet wel beter!, volgens mij had Bart Peeters ooit les gehad van Mel Lewis.
Goeie muzikanten, goeie muziek!
Steve

Ben je serieus? Is het eerste wat ik ervan hoor... Ik weet alleen dat ik hem vroeger kende als drummer en de laatste jaren ook als all-round muzikant. Goeie muzikant en fantastische drummer in elk geval.

Going Dutch/Belgium

V-drummers,

I have sent L'ecrtic Drumma a personal mail!
I think most of you(with the exeption of Render) can not understand Dutch!
If Rythm would start in Swedish we couldn't understand it as well.
So for now you have to keep up with my poor english!
Good luck,
Steve

[V(ader)DRUMMER]

I think most of you(with the exeption of Render) can not understand Dutch!

I understand Dutch perfectly. It means there's no way I'm paying for your lunch. I'm buying mine. You buy yours. That goes for you, too, Render!

There - what's so tough to understand about that?

[S.T.P.Boston]

You gave me a Dutch-Treat!

ROFLOL!!!! Hmm... apparantly they know the Holland mentality even in the US.

Not that I ever laugh with the Holland "economy"... and néver on this forum. OK, apart from a little few times... Nooit slecht bedoeld hč mannen (that's in Dutch 'cause I 'm not sure that what I think it is in English is correct)!

Anyway, seriously... I bought my first e-kit (TD-10 with PD-7's and 9's for cymbals) from a guy in North-Holland for a very reasonable price, so...

Something else I came to think of... I don't really know where these guys are from, Latin America or something I think, and I only know a few songs of them, but man, I think they are great... Not to listen to all the time, but a few songs every now and than. Oh, and I like the drummer, very tastefull playing if you ask me...
