Ok here we go:
- Queens of the stone age (Rated R and Songs for the deaf) - Smashing pumkins (a mixed bag from their cd's I think) - In order to dance 4 (An collection of obscure housetracks from the early 90's) - Muse - Soulwax - Tool - The herbalizer (their latest CD) - some mixsets from tilos radio (An hungarian radio station who gives a bunch of radio sessions for download) |

Wajus, since you and I seem to have similar taste in music - have you ever heard of a band called Sigur Ros? I think you'd like them. Check out Untitled Track 8 off of their ( ) album if you're curious. |

CD-wise I've been listing to the classic OK Computer and Hail to the Thief from Radiohead. Also listening to 1 from the Beatles. On the file sharing "Oh no, the RIAA got a battering ram at my door" scene I've just been listening to Ben Kweller.

Does anyone have any good tips for me to expand my measly collection of jazz? I honestly don't know what to look for.

I hear Eva Cassidy plays a nice tune. Played, I should say. Don't know if it's pure jazz, but certainly nice to listen to. Only heard one track though, something with "rain in the water" (you may even know it, Marek, it was from an animation for Prinsjesdag on tv from the HKU)

First of all, jazz as a genre is so large, which makes it really hard to know where to begin. Not knowing your preferences, it hard to know what to recommend. Still... You could always try the 'essential' ones. Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, Bill Evans' Waltz for Debbie and John Coltrane A Love Supreme. All three are amazing, though I would probably put Kind of Blue as my favourite. On that track, Bill Evans has done some other great stuff. Sunday at the Village Vanguard is great. He has done some stuff with guitarist Jim Hall, most notably Undercurrents. Also, try to listen to 'Bill Evans & Eddie Gomez - A Face Without A Name'. Great. Give The Sidewinder by Lee Morgan a try as well. All of this is classic jazz, though. That's not all. Maceo Parker. Very good, very groovy. You'll need Southern Exposure and dial: MACEO. He's very funky as well. Which brings us to The JB's, which he was a part of during the 70's. Arguably the best funk (and soul-jazz according to AMG) band ever. Just try anything with them. Which kind of brings aus to Herbie Hancock. Probably the one I like most within jazz. He's done some incredible stuff. Most notably by him is probably the awsome Head Hunters. A real mind-blower. Incredibly cool electronic jazz-funk. But a lot of what he's produced is great. He did some classic jazz as well. Check him out. In Vocal Jazz, you've got Diana Krall, and of course, Frank Sinatra. Great. St. Germain does jazz-house. Tourist is wonderful. (albums are written in italics) Well, that's something at least. |

Thanks for all the tips. The only name I recognize from that list is St. Germain, which was a natural crossover for me as you can imagine. I'll definitely take a look at all the others. I honestly have no idea what kind of jazz I like, because I've got very little of it.

Wajus (or others): Is Tool Radioheady? I've never really heard anything of theirs, somehow I got the impression I wouldn't like them, but I adore Radiohead .. if so, I'll get to sampling them immediately *scrolling further down* Egarthen, you're not suggesting they're like Sigur Rós?? I really love that band, amazing music (as you can see from my first post). If you like them, you should probably try Goldfrapp out, but try the earlier music first. I'm off to try Dredg |

Ah yes, 'wade in the water'. That would make sense. Incredible song, indeed.

Hm, talking about music, this is my first piece of composition, I hope you all enjoy it.
http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~nguyenba...aicaGiaCam.wma It's written for an orchestra in Bach style. At times it can get a little, um, hard to understand. Wait, I do mean "most of the times". |

And have you ever heard their EP Orph? Quote:

It's like hardrock bands seem to be inspired strongly by their moody&dense "Undertow" (1993) - MudVayne, Deftones, Taproot, Disturbed. While ambient/rock/alternative artists secretly admire enigmatic&monolitic "Aenima" (1996) - Massive Attack, Radiohead.

Tool's also one of the most intelligent bands I've ever heard. They've got some deep, deep songs. In the song 46 & 2, for instance, Maynard sings about spiritual evolution through the confrontation of one's Jungian "shadow". Deep stuff. Quote:

Tool are somewhere between the following: NIN, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Godspeed You Black Emperor, A Perfect Circle...anyone else?

Hmm, I'm definitely going to have to listen to Tool very soon then, they sound like absolutely my kind of thing .. for some reason I had a totally different impression of what kind of band they were. Also, I've never heard of Godspeed You Black Emperor, but they also sound like something I must have ...

From my limited experience, my answer is: Tool is not Radiohead. Experimental, but dark, I suppose, and not nearly as chord-heavy. Of course, ignore this paragraph. And Dredg is too emo for me. (Sorry, guys!) *runs* The one song of Sigur Ros I heard was cool. I should check them out, too. *grr* That is all, for now.
