ok, i was listening to the psychonaughts album songs for creatures today, and it occured to me how fucking amazing it is, yet never got the attention it deserved.



so this thread is for all the music that you think is amazing, but has never been critically or commercially successfull. state your chocie, and why its underated.



and dont start putting shit like daft punk or fuckin the audio bullys in here, because thats just bobbins :P



so, ill start with:



psychonaughts - a song for creatures. a proper mix of downtempo, eclectic and acidy grooves. the songwriting is top notch, the production and engineering is amazing and the vibe/style of the band is exciting, woozy psychedelia.



nice.

It's 'Underrated' and 'Psychonauts'



Anyway...







Everybody should own this magical album.

irritatingly, good choice of album, i highly rate the bonobo. if u dig them u should check hint out - cant remember the name of the album but its on true thoughts, and is aceness.



your still a cunt though.

Portakabin Fever. Got that too. Check out Blockhead if you dig Bonobo and Hint.



I know.

Alif Tree - Spaced

Alif Tree - French Cuisine



Good trip hop, by this french guy from Marseille, and well unknown inside and outside France.

Polydistortion by Gus Gus



I love this album, brilliant mix of sinister acid house and ethereal, haunting chilled out stuff.

One album that always comes to mind is U2 "Passengers vol. 1". This album sort of bombed and it was heavily criticized in the U2 fan community as being too far removed from U2's rock n'roll roots. The album was even criticized by U2's drummer Larry Mullen Jr. (hence no vol. 2). I personally think that people just didn't know what to make of it - even the most risky of U2 albums that caused a great divide between generations of U2 fans were no match to the places Passengers took the listener.



What I like about it is that this is U2 at it's most experimental thanks to Brian Eno, who's fingerprints with ambient and atmospheric textures are all over the album. There is nothing that isn't daring about these tracks (Pavarotti - who would've thought) as they are so unconventional for such a conventional rock n'roll enterprise like U2.

It's not a real U2 album, it's a compilation of songs written by U2 and Brian Eno, plus the occasional collaborator(s). All these songs were especially written for either documentaries, movies or 'anti-war, help the poor' concerts.

I know, man. You're talking to someone who's followed U2 quite closely since 1984. It is not a "real" U2 album in the traditional sense, but it is still a U2 project involving all 4 members of the band. The other guests on board are the passengers aboard a soundtrack for mostly imaginary documentaries and film.

So you're a fan of U2?! Well i've got that wonderful amating live album from the Elevation tour 2000 (Boston) and it always sends shivers down my spine (esp. the transition from "Bad" to "Where The Streets Have No Name" and "Beautiful Day" uuhuhuh, that's so massive! ) Can you recommend some albums they've made and why? Would love to check out some more stuff of them.

:D Yeah, I was a sort of U2 guru up through their album POP, the pleasure would be all mine to show you around U2 land!



I'll pm you a whole dealie later tonight.
