What we talking? Electronic dance? Ambient electronic music, I would say. It's definitely not dance. First Breath After Coma & Your Hand In Mine are my favourite tunes and a good start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not expecting a definitive genre really as that stuff's all bollox. We talking kinda Mogwai type stuff maybe? I'll have a listen tonight to those two. Yeah kind of, maybe not that depressing at times. Remember Me As A Time Of Day is beautiful, too. I'm sure others can recommend lots more. The new album is supposed to be really good.

jparx Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 EITS are instrumental post-rock. Of the highest motherfucking order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Beck Earth Wind and Fire they are going to be amazing, I'm so excited Charm x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourkid1984 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Mine are; Savages (never seen them, album is great) Art Garfunkel (legend with great songs) Beck (chose to take a break when he was at Rock Werchter, could hear him, sounded amazing) ELO (perfect for Sunday afternoon) James (my favourite to do on karaoke and a cracking band) Last Shadow Puppets (in my opinion everything Alex Turner touches turns to gold) Mercury Rev (Deserted songs and All is Dream are 2 outstanding albums) Madness (great for a sing along and dance) Wolf Alice (never seen live apart from on TV and liked what I saw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explosions in the Sky may be many things, but you wouldn't really tag them with an 'ambient' tag. Live, they are fucking astonishing, smashing your senses with walls of sound and the most incredible 2 or 3 part guitar figures. How they make some of their sounds 'only' with guitars is beyond me! Unmissables are: EITS Sigur Rós Floating Points Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where to start? Well, given that they have just dropped their latest LP (The Wilderness), and it's great (even Pitchfork gave it an 8.0!) then go with that, and The Earth Is A Cold Dead Place, considered by most to be their best record. Give them time. They're a slow-burn until you get what they're doing. Unlike so much instrumental music of that genre, EITS always know where they're going...spectacular live.

TomViolence Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Soo much I want to see but in terms of unmissable: LCD Soundsystem Foals PJ Harvey Daughter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoptildrop Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 lots to see for me but the unmissable's are: Muse Foals ZZ Top New Order Beck Bats for lashes Want to see's Madness Sigor Ros Richard Hawley Savages Roisin Murphy Band of Horses Art Garfunkel PJ Harvey Earth, wind & fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakkkkobz Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 EWF, Beck. LCD, Underworld are top tier unmissables Then John Grant, Kamsai, Savages, New Order, Hawley, Floating Points and ZZ Top are high priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are everyone's must sees etc? Mine so far: Foals, LCD, New Order, Underworld, Beck, PJ Harvey Mine too. Plus E,W&F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero000 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Must see: Beck LCD Soundsystem M83 PJ Harvey Plenty of other acts that I want to see, but only those 4 are unmissable. The benefit/drawback of going to a tonne of gigs is seeing most of the lineup before, but being able to choose more easily when these ballaching clashes occur.

Charm Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 3 hours ago, stuartbert two hats said: Underworld+LCD. And they will probably clash. So, just Underworld then. Lots I want to see, but unmissable is quite a big thing for me, means they're clashbusting acts, so by definition you can't have more than 2 or 3 without it becoming unfeasible. As for acts I really want to see and could easily see myself going off on my own: Earth Wind & Fire M83 Art John Grant Sigur Ros Explosions in the sky I don't think you will have to be on your own at Earth Wind and Fire as it appears most of this forum will be there too, I will look out for your 2 hats.

HattersBoy Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 What I want to see:- Foals ELO BMTH New Order ZZ Top Last Shadow Puppets The 1975 Art Garfunkel Wouldn't mind Madness and M83 as well The OH however wants to see Adele and Coldplay so **sigh** may have to miss out on some of these in particular NO.

Spindles Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Foals Of Monsters and Men M83 Underworld Beck Now the listening proper begins, much music to check out. Liking what I've heard of Explosions in the Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastynh Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) New Order are the only unmissable act for me. Am happy to be lead astray elsewhere for anyone else. Would watch James but I have seen them a ridiculous amount of times. Will probably be in Glastonbury centre having a scran and shower when they are on.

maelzoid Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 ELO Kamasi Washington Wolf Alice are the only unmissables. Add another dozen acts I's like to catch barring any clashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F. Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 New Order (Warning - I will cry during Atmosphere) James PJ Harvey Ezra Furman John Grant A group that I've never heard of, on a small stage in a tent, in a field on the outer reaches of the site, that will blow my mind. A bear hug from Guy Garvey, would be nice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
