Granted most of what i listen to is electronic music, but i do enjoy a good share of alt/rock/metal/prog/indie etc.

Lately i liked the latest albums by Oceansize (prog, post rock), Kashmir (indie, alt rock… this band actually kind of sounds like if Younger Brother’s new style was completely rock oriented and without electronics), Emarosa (hardcore, alt), Kamelot (prog metal, goth metal, power metal…. really gay stuff but so good :D) and The Antlers (indie, post punk).

howboutchu?

I rather like Trip-Hop. Akira Yamaoka, Black Era, Portishead and Massive Attack are all brilliant. Other than that, the only non-electronic genres I really listen to are Dub, Reggae, Shoegaze/Drone, and a little bit of Metal.

heheh Ptoleia… Trip-Hop and Dub are electronic, shoegaze is as well actually… and aren’t reggae and metal based on the _electric_ guitar?

Fully with you on liking them though.

I’ll just make a short list here…
Elliott Smith (listed first because I happen to be listening to him now)
Groundation
Rodrigo y Gabriel (on the short list because I saw them live recently and it was phenomenal)
Curtis Mayfield
Sublime
Stevie Wonder
Stevie Ray Vaughan
...
Many more, but you did say non-electronic

i used to listen to loads of rock and metal in my pre-electronic life :D
the doors, the who, pink floyd, tom petty i still like

today if it has to be non-electronic it’s mostly
beethoven, bach or steve reich
all three of these are highly recommended (:

Well, they can be performed live with acoustic instruments, so I don’t really classify them as electronic.

And electric /= electronic.

I guess…

Pink Floyd now and again.
Some Jazz..Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Astrid Gilberto.
Turntablism - scratch based stuff..insane skils.
Old Funk, soul.
Cinematic Orchestra
Bonobo
Nawang Kechong which is traditional Tibetan flute music.
Sayama - Tibetan bowl music, chimes etc.

The last two are very peaceful and relaxing, not your usual new age ‘doodlings’.

metal. lots and lots of metal.

\m/

I’m really enjoying a Japanese band called Baraka at the moment…

lol… turntablism, cinematic orchestra and bonobo are all mostly electronic. i’m talking about music played by bands here, without synths and samplers playing any, or at least just a very small part.

Outside of electronic I listen to a lot of reggae/dub stuff:
Rebelution
Slightly Stoopid
Fortunate Youth
S.O.J.A.
Josh Heinrichs (ex Jah Roots member)
Groundation
Aaron Kamm and the One Drops
Most of the Marleys
Matisyahu
Easy Star All-Stars
African Head Charge

Away from the reggae:
The Black Dahlia Murder (Nothing past Unhallowed)
Alkaline Trio
Boombox
Pink Floyd
Led Zepplin
some 70’s funk
The Killers
Dispatch

Goldmund (Keith Kenniff)
Debussy
Palestrina
Ravel
Schoenberg
Frank Zappa
Secret Chiefs III
Bohren Und Der Club of Gore
Al Di Meola

ESPECIALLY Debussy and Goldmund.

Cardiacs
Grandaddy
Trans-Am
Neu!
Hatfield and the North
Scientist
ELO
Can
Battles
XTC

Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Handel, a little mozart now and then. I sometimes like listening to Richard Clayderman.
