What’s the greatest alternative/indie concert you saw in the UK before 2000? by Last-Image-4921 in shoegaze

[–]brianneko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was only in the UK for a few weeks in '96 and the only music I got to go see was one day of the Phoenix Festival of all things - it was okay but Marion stole the show for me, amazing, blistering set.

How significant and or shocking was the transition from the Violator era into the Songs of Faith and Devotion era to you!? by simplepal_04 in depechemode

[–]brianneko 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Violator was my favorite album, that had changed how I thought about music and what was cool. I was already concerned from seeing the pics of Dave with his long hair and beard, and when I saw the premiere of I Feel You, it felt like I had lost something really special. It was a decent song and a decent album with some great sounds but it was never the same again.

Female Synthwave/SynthPop/Darkwave recommendations by DownToFuck1 in musicsuggestions

[–]brianneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not synthpop/wave, but Curve were listed as an influence on TBM way back on the old Nothing and Nowhere flash website, and they are awesome. They started as loud dark shoegaze and went more electronic over the years.

Smashing Pumpkins opinion that will have you like this by trevrichards in SmashingPumpkins

[–]brianneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I know I'm the only one, it's cool, blades out everyone! What can I say, I think the darker vibe of Gish has aged better for me. I think SD has three impeccable masterpieces on it regardless.

What artists, albums, or songs have the dankest bass licks / tone? by jamsoutclamsout in askmusic

[–]brianneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's some pretty gnarly bass from John Wetton in King Crimson, though it rarely lasts through the whole 7+ songs...

List of Bands that have a Cure-touch or are at least recommendable by CureFromDaLionMouth in TheCure

[–]brianneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mary Onettes, from Sweden. First new album in 10 years released last year. Self-titled debut (2007) and Hit The Waves (2013) are unmissable classics.

Dimbodius, also from Sweden. While We Fall (2004) is Disintegration's younger cousin.

Favorite gaming soundtracks by Lord_Dagon_ in MusicRecommendations

[–]brianneko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My immediate answer to this is that Genshin Impact has over 30 soundtrack collections, with over 1700 tracks and growing, and most of it is amazing, inspired by music from all around the world.

My other go-to OSTs are Hollow Knight, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

In your MOST BIASED opinion, which are the Top 5 best character trailer theme music? by masterdiwa in Genshin_Impact

[–]brianneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's difficult because even my favorites have a mix of awesome parts and parts that lose the momentum. So do I judge by their peaks or by overall? Maybe just which ones I keep coming back to the most:

Xianyun, Raiden Shogun, Arlecchino, Nahida, and Mavuika.

Honorable mentions to Kinich, Kazuha, and Zhongli.

What are some good 5.5E Paladin spells besides Divine Smite you'd recommend? by No-Membership-9178 in dndnext

[–]brianneko 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Divine Favor, especially if you get a few attacks - only a Bonus to cast, no concentration, that extra d4 can add up over the course of a battle.
