Scientist

Scientist, the best dub I've heard so far.

Some of you might know him from the K-Jah radio station in the game GTAIII. If anyone can recommend me a few artists that sound similar, then that would be great. =)

I've been interested in a capella all-female gospel choirs recently, after hearing a song on a mix a friend of mine made. Does anyone have any recommendations of comps that might have this kind of music? Specifically stuff that was recorded in like the 40s and 50s.

This is....

Spacehog - Resident Alien (1995)

I'm building myself a 70's glam collection, but the stuff I've got so far (T.Rex, Slade, The Sweet) doesn't incorporate the theatrics/otherworldliness of Bowie.

Check the Glam Rock Desk occasionally, you never know when a (metal) guru may turn up.

That's one for the Heavenly Voices Desk (when it springs into life).

Roxy Music's debut should be relatively close to what you're looking for (lots of "theatrics/otherworldliness", as Cylob so accurately put it) ... or Jobriath, a notorious case of wrong boy on the wrong planet at the wrong time.

As absurdly un-hip as it sounds, I was at my parent’s house and listened to some star bucks impulse buy CD they had on there stereo entitled "Paris Rendezvous" or something…

Anyway it was mostly rubbish, but the over all mood it created of female French singers did have an appeal.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for French female singers like Francoise Hardy, Charlotte Gainsborough, even something as obtuse as Kahimi Karie would be fine.

Something that would complement watching a Godard film on mute.

Clothilde! Also check some but not all France Gall and Jane Birkin albums, especially Ex Fan des Sixties, 1968 and Les sucettes. There are some great samplers along just those lines, though usually with a little more garage-y spunk - Femmes De Paris counts three volumes thus far, all excellent. As far as contemporary chanteuses are concerned, Coralie Clement, Helena Noguerra and Keren Ann are the closest to Kahimi and Charlotte, I guess, they've got the same indoors kind of airiness - they're also the most popular :) I'm not sure if Françoiz Breut is your style, but she's amazing as well, covering a broad range of genres from folk to rock to disco-ish things and always remaining very distinctly French.
Anna Karina's "Chansons De Films" compilation should be as perfect as it gets for Godard, obviously, although her voice is less sweet and whispy than that of most of her contemporaries.

I see you prefer (feisty) female vocalists.

Check Miss Universum - Selfelected (2003)

.... feminists on cannibis.

For something slightly more restrained, try...

Boyskout - School of Etiquette (2004)

"Jesse James" is so infectious it inspired one of those all-girl compilation CD's. Not that they approved.

looking at the music that i listen to (beck, the robot ate me, cocorosie, gorillaz, RJD2's new work), i figure that i am mainly listening to heavily hip-hop influenced pop music, which, in my oppinion, is what R&B should be, but i think r&b is bad... any suggestions of other heavily hip hop influenced pop music?

try some DJ Shadow for the more breakbeat/dj stuff, or some Chromeo for a more electro thing going on. The Roots are also awesome.

ok, tricky one for you guys.

I am on a mission to find some country songs I like (not knowing any at the moment). The closest songs I like which sound a little country to me are stuff by the Rolling Stones like Wild Horses, Dead Flowers, and Loving Cup. I quite like the sound of pedal steel guitar too. I might try out Gram Parsons. Any other suggestions?

Like Minimal Techno? ---> You'll love High on Electronic Music
Have diverse and non-mainstream taste in music? ---> See if you qualify for The 1 Percenters group....

Greetings,
I've just fallen in love with Toots & The Maytals. Their first albums were kinda funk-reggae. Any artists in that genre you know about?
