As an old indie kid I feel like I should be much more useful in providing soft, sad horns but damn, I am blanking on this.

i'm looking for instrumental solo albums, ie one instrument. Preferably pretty, vibey, moody, minimal. Examples include Mary Lattimore, Mary Halvorson, many of the tracks on this <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6eKMfZuW64vh3wnI6VkabD?si=oaM9gwt6SVWvx6kbYOlofQ">i never meta guitar</a> comp, Glen Velez, etc.
Solo piano is disqualified (unless it's prepared or electric, sorry but I make the rules)

Also in the act of posting this, I found a Cthulu-themed solo marimba album on Bandcamp with a fantastic description:

One rekkid that springs to mind is David Torn's 'Only Sky'

I keep thinking about 'soft, sad horns' but also 'triumphant horns', which must be more common. Not an obvious example, but this came to mind (final verse):

OK, so, for a long time I've been aching to hear what could be best described as "Sandy Denny backed by stoner/doom/sludge." I know there's gotta be plenty of stuff out there that sounds like this, but I haven't found it yet. That Emma Ruth Rundle/Thou record from last year came close to scratching this itch, but it was too metal and not-at-all folk. Help me out, ILX!

This is good! More psych-rock than the doomsludge I'm seeking, but real good regardless
― feed me with your chips (zchyrs), Thursday, 1 April 2021 15:21 (three years ago) link
Cool! I was worried it wasn't metal enough but figured it was worth throwing out there. :)
I was listening to The Tony Williams Lifetime record Turn It Over the other day and wishing I knew of more records that sounded like it. Can anyone point me in the direction of more evil, heavy rock music played by jazz musicians that it doesn't feel right to call fusion?

dan weiss' starebaby albums?
― adam, Saturday, 3 April 2021 11:27 (three years ago) link
Thanks! I've never heard of him, but just looked up Starebaby and saw that the band includes Trevor Dunn, Craig Taborn and Matt Mitchell, so this looks like it's right up my alley.

sorry i was on my phone when i posted that or i would have also linked to this very good piece: https://burningambulance.com/2020/10/06/starebaby-2/
― adam, Saturday, 3 April 2021 20:35 (three years ago) link
so i'd like to hear some late 70s / early 80s r+b that's not really disco, but more focused on ballads or mid-tempo numbers. i put on some later minnie riperton with the hope that it was what i was wanting, but it's too schmaltzy with all the orchestrations. something a little more stripped down with a lot of fender rhodes. thinking like a quiet storm, but less "BIG" arrangements, if that makes sense.
any thoughts?

Heron Oblivion def gets the most towards Sandy Denny, but also in the 21 century Fairport/Doom sweepstakes

I'm slowly building a playlist called 'Drifting'. It's stuff that kind of gently skitters. There must be a name for the particular kind of drum pattern/BPM but probably easier to just list a few of the tracks.
Underworld - Dune (Single Version)Move D - Let's Call It A DayEddie Chacon - Sundown (Gigi Masin remix)Neu! - SeelandDirections - Echoes (Continental Drift Version)
What else moves like this?

Hope I got the right idea
I take it you mean something more specific than just general Balearic-adjacent jams?
― your mom goes to limgrave (dog latin), Tuesday, 27 February 2024 00:43 (three months ago) link
Thanks for the recommendations. All gorgeous tracks. I think the Biblioni drifts (lol) too far into Balearic (though the sound is, as you say, verging on that scene) and the Parker too insistent and 'on the one'.
The specific thing I'm thinking of revolves around a regular skittery drum pattern (somewhere between 110-130bpm?) and stays with it.

'70s/'80s German takes on what I understand this sound to be:
Wolfgang RiechmannDeutsche WertarbeitHarald Grosskopf
While looking up the youtubes to attach, it turns out all of these have been reissued by Bureau B so that may be a good place to look further. Also, you get TWO guys painted silvery blue, how can you not want that?
― emil.y, Tuesday, 27 February 2024 14:46 (three months ago) link
Love all of those (and the blue paint just *works*). Maybe a bit propulsive to be truly skittery but the Deutsche Wertarbeit is definitely going on the list.
Looking back at the original list, I realise my inclusion of Neu! is plain confusing. I guess it's a more straightforward 'songs that have the same insistent yet skittery beat as Custard Speedtalk'.

I think a lot of it is down to walking and how certain tracks act almost like Google glasses, painting the landscape in glitter as you move.
― I would prefer not to. (Chinaski), Tuesday, 27 February 2024 16:12 (three months ago) link
Ah yeah, I see what you mean - I was concentrating more on the vibes of the top lines which do match, and while none of the ones I suggested have what I'd consider 'heavy' beats they aren't very skittery. I'm sure some stuff I loved in the '90s would be right for this, but knowing my brain it won't give up any names easily. Maybe Bowery Electric??
