    Default Obscure non-classical genres

    Post your favourite tracks from artists of more obscure, lesser-known genres; ambient, electronic, experimental, indie, metal, post-rock, prog-rock, trance, you name it...

    Youtube links or embedded please. Eg.

    This is dark cabaret. The Tiger Lillies is worth checking out if you want to know more about hores, pimps, drugs and gonorea! They are eminent!

    Wow! I cant believe someone mentioned the Tiger lilies on here! They are so disturbing in a fascinating way. I was thinking about bringing them up on the forum here myself, but I wasn't sure how they would be received lol or how I would be perceived for listening to this stuff hahaha

    Ange is one of my favourite french prog-rock bands. Very classical music influented. Not at least from medieval music. Here is very bad sound, but you may have an idea.

    Max Raabe and the palast orchestra is a german act, playing music in the vein of the thirthees ball room. They have brilliant covers of pop classics, made in a brilliant, and very ironic an humorous way!

    Even if I am digging into classical music now, perhaps progressive rock is closer to my heart. And Genesis is closest. Prefer Peter Gabrial aera, but in opposite to a lot of people I find a lot of joy in the Phil Collins eara to. But back to gabriel. Foxtrot is my favorite record, and this work, Supper`s ready is my absolute favorite work of music!

    I dont know if it is the best clip out there, some other recordings may be more theathrical with different costumes. But I am to tired to check. But it is eminent history!

    Never heard it? Fasten your seatbelts, and give it a try. 26 minutes. WARNING you can get addicted. Maybe not after one listening, but if you give it some tries.

    Try neofolk/apocalyptic folk. It's really just one scene with a few artists, but it's decent stuff.





    Even after metal, noise, indie rock, and a bunch of other explosions in the underground, first wave industrial/experimental post-punk in general (Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Psychic TV, etc.) remains undervalued and fairly unknown to your average "noncommercial" folks.

    Great thread idea. I'll use this to post my new discoveries. Is it ok to post contemporary "classical" as well since it's so intertwined with other genres at that place and so difficult to differentiate?

    Obscure? Here we go:


    Faye Wong is the uncrowned queen of mandarin pop/rock, selling millions upon millions of her albums all over East Asia. Ma zui (Anaesthesia) is one of her best songs. The mandarin title is a play on words that cannot be translated: apart from the medical meaning, ma zui also stands for the type of high you get from love, drugs or alcohol. The song itself has a great melody, good instrumentation and stunning vocals. Some of her greatest successes have been mandarin covers from artists such as Tori Amos, Cranberries and Cocteau Twins, but this one is an original Chinese production.
    Und Morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen.....
