The dwarf fortress soundtrack slaps so much harder than it has any right to

Swans - The Seer
Deep Forest
Veil of Imagination by Wilderun
Music by Cavelight by Blockhead. My fav stoned album of all time, probably.
Alek and the Drummer - May a Lightning Bolt Caress You
KOAN Sound - Polychrome. Everything these guys do is amazing but I feel like this album in particular has an unmatched vibe.
The consequences album by Godley and creme. I don't think I've ever found another fan haha
Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape
I discovered Hirasawa Susumu through his work on the Paprika soundtrack and later his other albums thanks to the magic of Youtube. I'm not even sure how to describe it, it's a whole world. There's this album (Kyusai no giho). I'm not a big fan of japanese music otherwise, but this ? I've never heard anything remotely like this. And it seems so coherent, so... mature, in a way.
Great idea for a thread btw, will have to peruse the replies
His Paprika soundtrack is integral to the movie. The opening theme where we see how she travels is phenomenal - the imagery plus the music is such a perfect one-two munch it makes me tear up.
Waltari - Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! Death Metal Symphony in Deep C
One of the first collaborations of a metal band with a classical orchestra. That kind of stuff became more commonplace later, but this mix of death metal, classical music and all kinds of other influences remains unique to this day.
KNOWER FOREVER
sounds like squarepusher had a baby with Nav Katze
Not sure if it fits the assignment, but the first two Human League albums from the 70s (Reproduction and Travelogue) are analogue synth brilliance. If you can find the expanded version of Reproduction with the Dignity of Labour EP & flexidisc conversation added, even better.
Miles Davis On the Corner
The Velvet Underground & Nico
Boards of Canada Music has the Right to Children
Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis) by Praxis is really bizarre and amazing.
Some more modern/mainstream ones:
I love Janelle Monae and the Archandroid albums are fantastic.
Alt-J, we saw them live and my kids said "I just want to lay on the ground and listen", and that's a pretty good description of it.
AWOLNATION, the music is heavy but nice to sleep to, it is dreamy in some way.
Formless by Gridlock made me an IDM convert.
Some of my favorites are
“Trust” by LOW
“October Rust” by Type O Negative
“Welcome Oblivion” by How to Destroy Angels
“Dusk” by The The
and more recently “DECIDE” by Djo
