Tool
Artist: Tool
almost exclusively electronic music, just can’t seem to get enough of it. (ambient, downtempo, drum & bass, dub, electro, glitch, goa trance, house, idm, psybass, psychill, psytrance, synthwave, techno). I’d be happy to try to give recommendations of any of these if you ask.
also love funk like Parliament/Funkadelic and some electronic focused jambands like STS9 & Lotus
What are some of your ambient recommendations? I was just listening to Tim Hecker’s Konoyo, also dig stuff like Global Communication, Boards of Canada, Grouper, Human Mesh Dance, Stars of the Lid, Biosphere.
Really into a electronic psychedelic cumbia genre that goes by Psicodelica Selvática (and other names) : Dengue Dengue Dengue!, Chancha Via Circuito, Yeahman, Son Rompe Pera, El Remolón’s Selva really hits the spot too.
I prefer my ambient to have a psychedelic aspect to it instead of just pure drone, so probably my favorite ambient artist is Ishq, namely his albums Orchid, Sama, And Awake, Bloom, and Lotus. Sinepearl and Chandanam are also artists that have a similar sound to Ishq. also check out Woob’s Repurpose album
getting into more of the psybient/psychill genre than pure ambient, mostly everything on Ultimae Records is gold imo (Solar Fields, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Cell, H.U.V.A. Network, Sync24, etc.)
Spacebass over on my end : G Jones, EPROM, Alix Perez, Ivy Lab, Of The Trees, Chee, Tsuruda, ISOxo, Culprate, Lab Group
This song has been on solid repeat for me lately GATZB - Get Down
I still most often listen to Grunge and 90 Hard and Alt rock. According to tidal Pearl Jam is a little more than half of all my song listens every month.
Side note, I think the collective noun for Lemmy users in any music thread should be Motorheads.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Mainly early 2000s “Whose Line is it Anyway?” hoedowns. My favorite is the one where they make fun of Colin’s baldness.
Somehow I missed all the good 2000s emo music, but love it now.
I am listening the to The Wonder Years’ full discography and man, they just don’t miss for me.
OT, but… How did we get to lemmites and not lemmings?

Dang I only really recognize Sleep Token, Soen, and Persefone from this list. All S-tier bands, I’ll have to check out the rest.
Pardon my ignorance. What is S-tier bands?
I meant S-tier as in ranking. If you look at tier lists on the internet, they will often rank things using letters. I was basically just saying that I consider them to be bands of the highest tier, I’ve attached a link to show you what I mean.
a few recommendations:
Djent/Core:
- Architects
- Spiritbox
- Jinjer
- Polaris
- Periphery
- Dayseeker
- Holding Abscence
Prog:
- Leprous
- Wheel
- Vola
- Animals as Leaders
- Haken
- TesseracT
I’d say I used to listen to metal, but nowadays, I still listen to metal lol. Huge fan of Progressive Metal/Djent/Thall bands. Not much into Deathcore/Doom Metal lately however.
At work tho, I tend to listen to a lot of instrumental stuff and genres vary greatly: mathrock, jazz, electronic, game/movie OSTs, blues, fusion, and among others.
During drives, mainly depends on the mood, but mostly revolves around the above given genres.
To name a few artists, I usually listen to the below (in random order):
- Jakub Zytecki
- Chon
- Plini
- Periphery
- Necrophagist (when r u guys coming back 😔)
- Dirty Loops
- Up Dharma Down
- Joji
- Tycho
- Sleep Token
- Lorna Shore
- Tom Misch
Would love to share some more, but these are what I thought of at the moment.
Woah, I’ve actually been to a Chon show. Totally didn’t expect to see that band pop up in this thread
Lucky! How were they upfront? I’ve only seen their live shows on YouTube.
They were great. I think it was around 2015-2016, and I still have a Chon pin from the show too!
