Recommendations please!

[dingbat2]

Hi all, I do this most years so apologies for my self indulgence!

There's lots of good stuff on this years bill, but there's loads of stuff I haven't heard of before.

Can anyone recommend anything I should try out before I go to Bestival, the sort of stuff I really love is listed below so any recommendations like these I would love the hear and give them a good listen before the festival. I have found so many favourite bands over the years from the recommendations from these boards. Cant wait to give it another go. So here is the sort of stuff i I really love:

Kraftwerk

Goldfrapp

Sigur Ros (happy days)

Gary Numan (happy day!)

M82

Holy fuck

Mirrors

Elbow

Delphic

Air

...Lots of live electonica

Look forward to finding new discoveries!

Cheers!

You have pretty identical tastes to me.

I'd say, Porcelain Raft, Sbtrkt (some stuff), Gold Panda, Errors, Factory Floor, definitely the caribou b2b four tet thing (just check both artists if you already haven't). I haven't got anymore to name, because I haven't spent a lot of time checking any new bands out, sadly..

I'm sure people here will list endlessly, so I'm gonna take a seat too.

Have little to add beyond killaflaw, miike snow (who you probably know) and gesaffelstein/brodinski (who are electronica but not strictly live) but i'm loving gold panda and errors - will watch this thread with great interest...

Sorry I meant to to include the magnificant Goldfrapp in my favourite list above...

I made a spotify playlist of all the acts on the bill available. I included 5 songs by each, put it on shuffle on my way to work and star any of the stuff I like.

I really need to understand this Spotify thing! Can I use it for free and accesss these playlists?

Also, I do like Soulwax

I also recommend John Foxx for anyone who likes what I like, but I guess if anyone likes Numan then they will already like John Foxx!

Also check out Gesaffelstein, he's put out some really great stuff the last year or so, and is great live. Brodinski also.

Stevie Wonder

[Dog Burger]

Sage Francis

B Dolan

B Dolan's new House of Bees mixtape is sounding amazing judging by the tracks he's been leaking from it on Facebook.

De La Soul

Orbital

Spiritualized

MF DOOM

Stevie Wonder

Ben Howard

2manydjs

Justice

i recommend all of those thoroughly, might not all fit your tastes but festivals are about seeing new stuff!

.... but festivals are about seeing new stuff!

which is quite amusing when three of those acts were at their biggest nearly 20 years or more ago.
