Why do we feel so much from - so little? The reason is the way the brain uses its senses to - wonderstand the world around it. Brains use large amounts of inner - connected components that serve very abstract uses. By routing - information to different parts using a high amount of - innerconnectedness it can process information in a exponential - amount of ways. By sending carefully choosen information to send to - the senses you can take advanged of the way it processes information - to show whats really going on under the hood and to cause it to - route data in ways it normally wouldn't. Music guides the geist - through this chaotic complex world and shines light on many parts of - the mind and universe.<br> - <br> - "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of - energy, frequency and vibration." - Nikola Tesla</p> - </td> - </tr> - </table> - <table border="1" width="60%"> - <tr> - <td> - <h2>Favorite artists</h2> - <p>This list isn't in any real order. I like most of them too much - to rank them.<br> - This is an incomplete and ever growing list.</p> - <ul> - <li> - <a href="#psychedelic">Psychedelic</a> - </li> - <li> - <a href="#progessive">Progessive</a> - </li> - <li> - <a href="#funk">Funk</a> - </li> - <li> - <a href="#japanese_stuff">Japanese stuff</a> - </li> - <li> - <a href="#jazz">Jazz</a> - </li> - <li> - <a href="#rock_alt_punk">Rock/Alt/Punk</a> - </li> - <li> - <a href="#other">Other</a> - </li> - </ul> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> - <h2 id="psychedelic">Psychedelic</h2> - <h3>The Doors</h3> - <p>If you don't know who they are than you disapoint me. About the - closest I have to an all time favorite. When I was first learning - guitar a family friend showed me The Doors and showed me how to play - a doors rift on guitar. At first it look me to get deeper in their - music but they have always been with me no matter where I go in - life. A lot of artists haven't continued to bring me joy as my taste - changes in the same way as The Doors. If you asked me my favorite - doors song I would say all of them.<br> - <br> - If you dig The Doors please check out Ray Manzarek's solo work. His - solo album The Golden Scarab is my pick for one of the most - criminally underrated albums of all time.</p> - <h3>Robin Trower</h3> - <p>Many people call him a Jimi Hendrix copy but he they are wrong. - While there are crossovers he does have his own style that is - different From Jimi. His old albums, new albums... are all master - pieces. He only continues to age like wine and is still making new - music to this day without selling out or sounding dated.</p> - <h3>Jimi Hendrix</h3> - <p>This list isn't complete without him. Jimi is like Santa, Jesus, - Abraham Lincoln... its a requirement you know who he is. Just take a - look at every artist after he got big. Jimi's greatness leaked into - all music. His influence can't be stopped by any granfalloon - borders. His influence quickly leaked into even countries that were - cultural isolated from the west. Check out Super Djata Band to see - what I mean.<br> - <br> - Most places say he died from overdose but that is a lie! He was - murdered by his manager who was upset that Jimi wanted to take a - break from fame and focus on himself instead.</p> - <h3>Babe Rainbow</h3> - <p>A fun little viby modern psychedelic band. Also one of the few - modern bands that have well put together albums not just great - singles but shitty albums. There music is fun to listen to and a - good choice to bring you out of a bad mood.</p> - <h3>Levitation Room</h3> - <p>Another great modern psychedelic band. I got to see them live - once. The way their guitarist plays finger style really caught my - eye. I often have their songs stuck in my head even if I haven't - heard any of their stuff for months and I don't even realize its - them until I listen to them again.</p> - <h3>Sugar Candy Mountain</h3> - <p>Its one of those great bands I forgot that exists but when I run - into their music again it always brings me great joy.</p> - <h3>King Gizard and the Lizard Wizard</h3> - <p>A very unforgotable name indeed. You may not like some of their - music but they fill quite a bit of area so don't give up on them so - fast. A lot of their songs feel a bit gimmicky for my taste but - still a great band.</p> - <h3>The Black Angels</h3> - <p>Good skateboarding music. Heavy and dark. Very nice indeed.</p> - <h3>Strawberry Alarm Clock</h3> - <p>Its just pure 60's psychedelic extract. They got viby stuff what - more can I say.</p> - <h3>Frank Zappa</h3> - <p>Go check out Frank Zappa. Thats a threat.</p> - <h3>The Beatles</h3> - <p><i>The Beatles exist</i></p> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> - <h2 id="progessive">Progessive</h2> - <h3>Gentle Giant</h3> - <p>A band very few know of yet it has a cult following. They are a - must for any prog rock fans. They mix in so many sounds and really - push the limits of rock in a way even other prog bands never did. I - may even dare call them my favorite prog rock band.</p> - <h3>Camel</h3> - <p>Another prog band nearly no one knows about. Go listen to their - album Moonmadness right now. Thats a requirement!</p> - <h3>The Moody Blues</h3> - <p>Its commonly believed that they started prog rock. They are known - for their big sound and use of classical music theory. I already - called Gentle Giant my favorite prog rock band so I am going to call - The Moody Blues my favorite prog pop band. Many people don't know - that prog pop actually exists and prog pop is what The Moody Blues - is. Go listen to The Moody Blues right now! Some of their albums are - a bit slow going but thats because they are carefully created works - of art. Their most well known album Days of Future Passed is said to - be one of the greatest concept albums of all time.</p> - <h3>King Crimson</h3> - <p>They are very commercially successful for prog standards. How - could you not like a band with a name like that!</p> - <h3>Van der Graaf Generator</h3> - <p>They sound almost early Genesis. They have a strange natual - darkness that always stands out to me.</p> - <h3>Hatfield & The North</h3> - <p>I really dig their album The Rotters club. That album has a - special place in my heart and is easily one of my favorite albums of - all time!!! Wanta hear the crazy story behind it? There isn't one, I - just really dig it.</p> - <h3>Emerson, Lake & Palmer</h3> - <p>The band was started by a few law firm owners. You believed me - didn't you? They actually just have a boring name. Their music isn't - boring so go check them out! Also a lot of people hate this band for - no reason.</p> - <h3>Caravan</h3> - <p>Most of these bands are British but this one is the most British. - Your welcome.</p> - <h3>Magma</h3> - <p>They write concept albumns about a race of aliens called the - Kobaïan. The lanauge they sing in is the lanauge the Kobaïan speak - so not very many people actually know what they are singing about. - Yes, the aliens are real.</p> - <h3>Yes</h3> - <p>One of the first prog bands I got into. Don't let their - commerical success scare you away. They are indeed very - wonderful.</p><img src="images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain"> - <h3>Can</h3> - <p>The greatest Krautrock band of all time. tbh its one of those - bands I really need to listen to more.</p> - <h3>Amon Duul II</h3> - <p>Another great Krautrock band. They have a bit heavier sound than - Can.</p> - <h3>Pink Floyd</h3> - <p>Pink Floyd is not a prog rock band.</p> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> - <h2 id="funk">Funk</h2> - <h3>Parliament Funkadelic</h3> - <p>The funkest band in the list. More funk than you can handle! - p-funk is some pretty strong stuff. Its lethal. Its actually two - bands but its members kept going back and forth and they forgot were - each band started and ended.</p> - <h3>Sly and the Family Stone</h3> - <p>A vey influential funk band ineed. They were mixed race and - gender, and they were an important part of the civil rights - movement. Also their single Thank You is the first song ever - released with slap bass which was played by Larry Graham.</p> - <h3>Graham Central Station</h3> - <p>Larry Graham created it so that means its 100 percent funk. Larry - Graham is the enbodiment of funk so anything he touches gets turned - into pure 100 percent organic funk.</p> - <h3>Cymande</h3> - <p>This one is quite different than any of the funk bands on this - list and really is its own thing. Their name is a calypso word for - dove which is a symbol of peace and love. You can hear the peace and - love in their music and it flows into the ear and through rest of - body. This is a band that truly transforms their geist into energy - and vibrations for rest of the world to hear.</p> - <h3>Lafayette Afro Rock Band</h3> - <p>Another band that is so funky its lethal! They were not that well - known during their time recording but have gained much more of a - following now. Do check them out if you think you can handle so much - funk!</p> - <h3>Average White Band</h3> - <p>Its hard to believe a bunch of white dudes can get so funky but - they did and its real funky!</p> - <h3>Jaco Pastorius</h3> - <p>Jaco Pastorius is one of the greatest bassists of all time. He - played for Weather Report and released some really funky solo - work.</p> - <h3>Billy Cobham</h3> - <p>Billy Cobham is one hell of a drummer. He played for Miles Davis - and Mahavishnu Orchestra. You need to listen to his solo work now - (thats a threat). He also had influence on many prog artists - including King Crimson.</p> - <h3>Shuggie Otis</h3> - <p>His dad had a band and personally knew many very well known - artists so Shuggie grow up around them and learned guitar at a very - young age. He played in his dads band as a little kid and they would - make him dress like a old man so they could sneak him into bars to - play with the band. As he got older he got countless offers from - some really big artists to play in their band but he gave them all - up and instead produced his own albums and remained a small artist - so he could make the music he wanted to make.</p> - <h3>Janko Nilovic</h3> - <p>Holy fuck I forgor this dude existed for a while but dam his - music is funky!</p> - <h3>Eddie Hazel</h3> - <p>The first lead guitarist for Funkadelic. His Hendrix like playing - is very badass. He is known for his guitar playing on Maggot Brain - though he also has a great solo album which became rare not long - after its release and is often not talked about much to this - day.</p> - <h3>Gil Scott-Heron</h3> - <p>As of writting this He is an artist I discovered more recently. I - dig it so far. He writes songs that are political which is quite - based.</p> - <h3>Mandrill</h3> - <p>Not really my favorite funk band but still funky. And funky is - good.</p> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> - <h2 id="japanese_stuff">Japanese stuff</h2> - <p>They get their own section even though not all this artists play - the same style because 1: this list is going to get messy, 2: they - are better than the other artists, 3: some of these artists I - discovered like yesterday or an hour ago as of writing this so I - don't know what to say.</p> - <h3>Kikagaku Moyo</h3> - <p>The best psychedelic band of all time. <b>THE BEST.</b> You will - be ruined for all other psychedelic music once you hear them. Sadly - they broke up.</p> - <h3>The Pillows</h3> - <p>Best known for making the soundtrack for FLCL. Go watch FLCL - (thats a threat). Their music is killer and I dig it.</p> - <h3>Ginger Root</h3> - <p>Ginger Root is the bomb. I got to see them live and let me tell - you it was easily one of the best artists I have ever seen live. So - much energy!!!</p> - <h3>Pacific album</h3> - <p>This album was made by multiple artists. Its one of the best - albums I have ever listen to. Good music for when skateboarding - around town buzzed on kratom on a clear warm day without a single - worry in sight.</p> - <h3>Unsorted short but ever growing list of Japanese artists</h3> - <ul> - <li>T-SQUARE</li> - <li>Masayoshi Takanaka</li> - <li>Naniwa Express</li> - <li>Casiopea</li> - <li>Haruomi Hosono</li> - <li>Shigeru Suzuki</li> - <li>Tatsuro Yamashita</li> - </ul> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> - <h2 id="jazz">Jazz</h2> - <p>Jazz is about the best music. A lot of this is more on the fusion - side btw (:</p> - <h3>Allan Holdsworth</h3> - <p>My pick for greatest guitarist of all time. This dude learned - guitar himself and jesus mother fucking christ he can play. Not only - can he play fast but we can still play with at least as much geist - as Jeff beck, play the most harsh finger breaking far apart scales, - all while leaving Joe Satriani and Steve Vai in the dust. <b>Guitar - was his side hobby.</b> His main thing we brewing. Dam this fucker - got a hell ton of autism.</p> - <h3>Mahavishnu Orchestra</h3> - <p>People will think your crazy if you tell them to check out this - band, people will think your crazy if you rock out to this. But its - the bomb. It showed me a side of music I haven't gone into before - than. I was listening to Led Zeppelin and that shit before I - discovered the depths of fusion and prog waiting for me. The best - parts of life is when you discover something new and fall deep into - the depths of a rabbit hole. Thats when the world opens up and you - start to think differently and open your mind. Thats why its good to - try new things. I wouldn't be who I am today without that push from - Mahavishnu Orchestra. They are a different breed of jazz fusion than - the stuff most fusion fans are use to. Its much harsher and almost - meaner. they dis into parts of the geist other artists stay far away - from.</p> - <h3>Miles Davis</h3> - <p>You jazz peeps already know Miles Davis. If your a song writer of - any style that haven't checked out Miles yet give him a try. His - music is a good example of how to use space in music to open things - up and close them down. Compare his works and you will see what I - mean. While I haven't dug into his stuff much I really dig his album - Bitches Brew. Its very different than the smooth easy on the ear - stuff people often think of when it comes to Miles Davis. Its closer - to Mahavishnu Orchestra.</p> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> - <h2 id="rock_alt_punk">Rock/Alt/Punk</h2> - <h3>Talking Heads</h3> - <p><b>You need to listen to the Talking Heads.</b> Now, its a - requirement. Its a funky silly litte band. The front man David Byre - is rocking with autism so its a given its going to be a good band. - There is no band that sounds anything like them. They have no right - to be as funky as they are!</p> - <h3>Ween</h3> - <p>A wonderful little silly band. Best known for their album The - Mollusk which influenced the creation of SpongeBob Squarepants. - <b>If it influenced SpongeBob so it gotta be good!</b> They have - other great music though that album really stands out to me. This - silly little SpongeBob album is somehow one of the greatest pieces - of music of all time! It can easily compare to the prog and fusion - stuff on this list. The mood changes quickly but in a very musical - way that paints an entire landscape of many different colors.</p> - <h3>Morphine</h3> - <p>A really wonderful little treo. Their front band Mark Sandman - plays a bass with only 2 strings tuned in 5ths and he plays it with - a slide, their saxophonist Dana Colley can play two saxophons at - once, and their drummer is just a total vibe.</p> - <h3>Joy Division</h3> - <p>This band reminds me of my CS teacher who had a bow tie and - worked at a standing table with borderline too many monitors plugged - into a little mac book. Every morning when I walked in normal music - was never playing, it was often a mix of alt rock and EDM that was - quite fitting for a programming class. He gave everyone rubber ducks - so we can have an inanimate object to use to ask for help. He always - called himself a lizard person and was a Doctor Who fan. I assume - this is a universal experience and everyone had a CS teacher like - this. He must have been a standard issue factory made CS teacher - because if a mad man with a bow tie who jams out to Joy Division - isnt your average CS teacher I dont know what is a average CS - teacher.</p> - <h3>The Clash</h3> - <p>One of the first bands I really got into. I listened to them a - lot when I was first learning guitar. They got a good sense of humor - to.</p> - <h3>Ramones</h3> - <p>When I was little one of my sisters friends had a dad who was a - fan of the Ramones. He gave me a data disk full of pirated music - which included a lot of stuff by the Ramones. I instandly became a - Ramones fan. I dont listen to them much lately but they will always - have a place in my heart.</p> - <h3>Dr.Feelgood</h3> - <p>This is a mean ass band. Their music was a rebellian against the - prog rock and glam rock music that was becoming big at the time. Pub - rock bands like Dr.Feelgood went fuck it all and instead played mean - raw drunken rock n' roll. This is the kind of music I listen to when - skateboarding or when I need to get shit done.</p> - <h3>ACDC (Bon Scott era)</h3> - <p>I know what your thinking <i>its that band with songs that always - sound the same and has sore throat sounding vocals</i>. Well they - were not always like that. In their early days they had a better - vocalist: Bon Scott. And they fucked around with different sounds a - lot more.<br> - <br> - These are the Bon Scott era albums:</p> - <ul> - <li>High Voltage</li> - <li>TNT</li> - <li>Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap</li> - <li>Let There Be Rock</li> - <li>Powerage</li> - <li>Highway to Hell</li> - </ul> - <p>Powerage and Let There Be Rock are my favorites out of all of - them. Powerage was my first CD I ever got and I keep going back to - it all the time. Its their best album by far. RIP (rock in pleace) - Bon Scott.</p> - <h3>ZZ Top</h3> - <p>I dont listen to them much anymore but they had a big influence - on my guitar playing. One of my favorite albums by them is Tejas. - Its a very underrated album. I dig the darker more ambient tone of - Tejas. Also go listen to their first album. Its completely - killer!</p> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> - <h2 id="other">Other</h2> - <h3>Jeff Beck</h3> - <p>While many think Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist of all - time many more enlighted people pick Jeff Beck. Not that Jimi is bad - or anything but holy fuck Jeff Beck can really play guitar. He puts - soooo much geist into his music and makes the guitar sing in a way - no one else can. I still have my own pick for greatest guitarist - though.</p> - <h3>Tipsy</h3> - <p>I was in a music store with some friends and one of their records - was playing in the store. Later, I wished I bought it so I went back - and they no longer had the record. They don't have very much - released and seem to be dead. They don't seem to have much of a - following and they website is down. You can find it <a href= - "https://web.archive.org/web/20130826202218/http://tipsy.org/" - target="_blank">here</a> on the wayback machine.</p> - <h3>Messer Chups/Messer Fur Frau Muller</h3> - <p>A russia band I discovered recently as of writing this. I dig - them so far but I haven't checked out much of their stuff.</p> - <h3>Silver Apples</h3> - <p>They are a electric band that uses DIY synths made from miltary - surplus radio gear along with other shit. Not really something I - would care to jam to much but still a good band.</p> - </td> - </tr> - </table><img src="images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain"> <img src= - "images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain"> <img src="images/tiny_lain.gif" alt= - "Lain"> <img src="images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain"> <img src= - "images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain"> - </center> -</body> -</html> |
