because every forum needs a music thread I'm enjoying 'Ghana Special 2: Electronic Highlife & Afro Sounds In The Diaspora, 1980-93' a compilation album of upbeat synthy tunes made by Ghanaians living in Germany. https://soundwayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ghana-special-2-electronic-highlife-afro-sounds-in-the-diaspora-1980-93 https://open.spotify.com/album/1LSTqJhdSVLvkxWpzwkYPv

Not sure. I know Mood Area 52 have described themselves as "International Americana" or "Neo-Tango", .357 Stirng Band and Jayke Orvis as "Streetgrass", and St. Cinder as "ragtime:
I'd say they're all somewhere on the folk continuum

does any song capture a feeling and a mood better than this? I used to ride my bike around in the summer at uni, halfway to drunk, singing 'i wanna walk around with you' at the top of my lungs and not caring who looked at me thinking i was a nutcase.

Listening to this on vinyl for the first time in a year after hearing a 30 minute rant from a girl I have a history with and still have a thing for confess that she's been in an emotional relationship with her married boss for a year while she waits for him to get a divorce. It's hitting pretty good.

XX things I have been into in the last few months:
1. New Irish Folk à la Lankum
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhqpQiXnFx0
Lankum - Go Dig My Grave
Moody, droney, explosive. Not all all like jolly, old-timey irish folk music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s14qzghTdPU
John Francis Flynn - Bring Me Home, pt. ii: I Would Not Live Always
Repepitive lyrics, incredible instrumentals
2. Russian Electro Punk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXjx-Kaj5RM
STVOL.TV — LOCKED CLUB LIVE SET
This set has unmatched energy and might be the best party music I have heard in years
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgxJ2Y7xpms
RLGN & DUMMFÖUND - Mahaut
3. Warp-related/influenced artists
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn1upHX9gbQ
Rival Consoles - The Giant Swing
Glitchy, ambienty goodness from London. I encourage everyone to check out Rival Consoles' output
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkXxQL-nyQw
Midnight Star - The Midas Touch (Hell Interface remix).
First released in 1999 as a limited release of 500 units. There will probably a day in the future where I am drunk enough to pay 200 bucks for the vinyl on Discogs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0d8bJeCODc
Christ. - Blue Shift Emmissions
The guy was a part of Boards of Canada once and it shows. But he has his own, moodier and less warped style

Never liked these Youtube "vibe mixes" for years as they all came across as knockoff muzak/video game pastiche/Lo-Fi Beats For Contextless Zoomers... but lately I've been acclimating to listening to vibe playlists as opposed to being an anal-retentive trve music album listener. Yeah, I know they're "DJ mixes" or at least supposed to be descended from them, but they're obviously different in how they center visual/conceptual aesthetic as opposed to the focus on music flow in a standard mixset. How times change. Great picture too.
Update: couldn't make it more than 20 minutes in - such dull music and mixing. Posted too fast. Will wait next time. Fuck Youtube mixes.

Overall, very above average for what I usually find in this area. Lot of authentic Bong electronica, especially unusual for this place. Someone must have moved here and either bailed or died.
Forgot to mention I didn't buy most of the Bong electronica but I might go back and get it if I have some time.

The mu-ziq is lowkey kind of quirked up. I knew him as a pretty good artist but this is like, approaching toy box sort of kawaii thing going on. I was hoping for more solemn techno based on what I knew about the artist having sampled him long ago. But hey, the thrill of finding an album like this in this a-cultural dump is worth the $2.

Well, to be fair it was released in 1999, so it's probably less inspired by video game music and more the inspiration on which video game music composers draw from. Not entirely, as there were certainly video games in 99, but probably less so than something like this released today.

>1,000 gecs is fine if you listen it in full.
I loved it, and you're right: listening the whole album is a completely different experience.
100 gecs is excellent, too. (i didn't know them before this, and i still remember listening to Dog food for the first time. I didn't like it at first, but i went back to it over and over, and suddenly I was a fan.)
10,000 gecs is a fifty-fifty for me. It feels less experimental, but still has some enjoyable tracks (Hollywood Baby, The Most Wanted Person in the United States and MeMeMe).
1,000 gecs is fine if you listen it in full. There's a certain harmony in the way the songs are ordered. I don't enjoy them as much if I listen them individually.
I got into tango. My favorite thus far is "Yira yira" by Discépolo. Gardel's "Adiós muchachos", "Volver", and "La cumparsita" are a pleasure.
For exercising I got into folk songs (lol). You know, the usual stuff:Bu bayrak, Ceddin deden, Hava Nagila, ERP hymn, Peronist march, Artiljerija, Cara al sol, etc. At least it is another way to get another view of a certain ideology, or just straight up get to know it (I learned more about Carlists thanks to Calzame las alpargatas).
