I was just about to leave, but I was laughing my head off at that clip (again) earlier tonight, so I had to post it

Fixed

That's the first post fix of yours that I entirely agree with, I imagine.

I hated it the first time I saw it.
Then I was force-fed it by friends who loved it, and it just got better.

I used to be, years ago. I'm so glad I'm not anymore. There's great music during every era.

...and Alex, I quite liked Stratosfear. Best TD experience so far. Rubycon wasn't as enjoyable.

If you didn't like Phaedra, that's what I expected.

Force Majeure is more like Stratosfear in the regard of being less "sleep-inducing" for your tastes, I would think. Not sure what else though...

Depends on your tastes and musical development, but I'm confident there's at least one niche out there for you that's occurring at the moment.

What have you tried?

Let me know what you think.

I'm listening to Alpha Centauri, which is mindblowing. Not sure you'd like it though, haha, since it's pre-Phaedra. I'm going to go through all my TD albums in order without listening to anything else. Should be pretty sweet.

Radiohead (mild enjoyment, nothing I desperately feel like hearing again), Decemberists (some great tracks, but not consistent), Phideaux (really like him), a lot of retro-symph and some neo (initial enjoyment, but usually dies off after a while), some post-rock and post-metal (same as for Radiohead), extreme/tech metal (too br00talz), prog metal (I just feel saturated by most metal)

and probably some more.

Speaking of TD and TD-related things....

Crystal Lake ftw.

I'm not too familiar with Phideaux... I wonder what would be good artists that are completely unique yet have a similar feel to his stuff?

I can understand your responses to the rest though. Sometimes you'd be surprised at how your taste develops over time; sometimes you never will enjoy some of the stuff. It completely depends.

Have you tried Ozric Tentacles?

I wouldn't say it's TD-related because Schulze was only on one TD album, but I agree with the ftw. Wink

A looong time ago. "Trippy!" is all I can remember about them.

Ah, okay. Only reason I mentioned that was because you seem to like TD's more "active" releases. Even though Ozrics aren't quite the same stylistically, it's the first thing that came to my mind.

Don't push yourself to like something that's modern. It will naturally develop, but I will tell you with confidence that there's tons of enjoyable, groundbreaking music out there---as much as there was in the 70s, I think. Just be open-minded to new stuff as well, which I'm sure you are.

I'm not entirely positive what to recommend you though, to be honest. What are you looking for, if anything (and if you actually want to hear anything new)?
