I am looking for some music but am not sure exactly how to describe it, btu I will try.

Something that sounds kindof like Linkin Park "Cure for the Itch" - something that almost sounds like it could be the track for a rap song.

Any bands, etc that are like this? I have been looking this type of music for a while but have had only limited luck.

Good "chill music"

umm

try out some music by a group called RJD2, namely the song "ghostwriter"

11/7/2005 9:56:13 PM

rjd2 is not a group

something that sounds like linkin park = shit.

11/7/2005 10:04:07 PM

That was an example from 1 song.

11/7/2005 10:05:13 PM

Chill music = rap beats?

11/7/2005 10:27:37 PM

Disco Biscuits; not that I would compare them to shitty linkin park but they are kind of an electronica-based jamband. Their fans would flame me for referring to them as that, but it could be what you're looking for. They're awesome, regardless.

I don't know that Linkin Park song, but from the rest of what you've said, you might like the album Gandalf's Beat Machine by Eligh. He's a producer and beat-maker for Living Legends crew, and that album is just a bunch of really creative instrumental beats he made, very chill for the most part.

Not like gangsta rap.

I used Linkin Park because in some songs they do a really good job of mixing melody and rhythm.

Lemon Jelly
Mr. Scruff, some of his stuff has vocals, but it's usually just hooks
Layo And Bushwacka - Deep South has that sound
Moonbotica is a bit housey, but it's always got a kickin beat and melody

I'll just go ahead and post some good selections from my server:

Thanks Kris!


I want to go in the direction of Classical + Rap almost.

Real instruments + a good beat.

If you're interested in rap and ethnic music at all, you might like groups like Arabic Breakbeats, Kulisch and Vana (Indian), Badmarsh&Shri (Indian), Tabla Beat Science, and Talvin Singh. Most of it's pretty chill.

I also have an album by a group called Ojos De Brujo, which is a fusion of flamenco music with hiphop and electronic elements.

11/13/2005 10:06:23 PM

^^some dj shadow stuff

Handsome Boy Modeling School - The songs they do with classical music over beats is awesome

Dan the Automator

Breakestra is pretty cool, they play well known rap songs with real instruments... they have an MC though but I'd def. check them out

that's all I can think of right now
