Rammstien - Sonne

I like their monumental expressionist style. Very teutonic, but in a way that is strangely infectious.

Oh, and I don't think anyone could forget Moldova's finest.

Dragostea Din Tei is the 00's equivalent of Gangnam Style. If the internet was more mainstream then we'd have ended up with countless drunken middle aged women dancing to the numa numa song.

https://www.youtube.com/v/bUsePoATbrU

The only song that soldiers of all sides loved and listened to in WWII. Even though it was first recorded (and written) by ze Germans, the rest of the world took it to heart. There are English versions out there too.

Quite the fan of neo-classical Icelander Ólafur Arnalds. Not his best album, that would be ...And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness, but a nice song nonetheless.

https://www.youtube.com/v/FyFNkeNbBs0

I was introduced to this a number of years ago on this very chan. I can't remember the board or anything. The band is Ю-Питер, and the song is Дети Минут.

Enjoyable in small doses. There's only so much harmonica a man can take.

Well that was just terrible by anybody's standards.

The one by Dur Dur Band was fantastic. I love the lofi sound all those type of records have, and the really specific kind of delay/reverb on the lead vocals that sounds like a poorly set-up PA.

As translated by Eric Bentley:

Oh little box I carried in my flight
So as not to break the radio tubes inside me
From house to boat, from boat to train held tight
So that my enemies can still address me

Right where I slept and much to my dismay
Last thing at night and first thing every day
About their victories, defeats for me
Oh please do not fall silent suddenly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1oxh8Z-2ko

They seem to have added the subtitles recently and now I know that some of the songs are actually about pretty mundane topics likeAladdin's Hardware Store and Hokkaido.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= GpQkYxING4I

It has been a week since I found this. I am unable to listen to anything but.

City Pop seems to be really fucking sound. Cheesy, funky, 80's. It's vapid but self aware. I'll stop before I go full Bateman. I will happily write a few paragraphs about exactly why you should enjoy this, if anyone will read.

My particular favourites are:

00:00: Plastic Love - reminds me of the girl who lives in the clubs, has endless energy, and would love you back if you could just keep up with her. But you can't, and she'll always want to stay out and do coke instead of enjoying a mug of horlicks in the bath.
32:41: 告白本人 - Not sure what song she ripped off, but it's got a great chorus.
37:40:​ 真夜中のドア - Sounds like it was made yesterday by a futurefunk band.
42:58​ Oh No, Oh Yes - Think she's channelling Mariah Carey here, but less mental.

Those are a few of the hits. I hope someone finds as much joy in this as I have. I've never danced more.

>>12686

Plastic Love is phenomenal.

>>12686
City pop is the shit.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ESWmrPmJA8

I've been enjoying this, it very much opens as a beep-boop kind of song but you will end up listening to it on repeat. The lyrics are just:
>You and I in solitude. Same here. Trying to change, trying to forget.

It give me a sad regret though over all the things I didn't do in my 20s before I got a career and that. Travelling as an end in itself seems wasteful but I feel like I missed out on living abroad at some point. Maybe it's just that I haven't been out of the country in nearly 10 years.

I love foreign-language music. It's nice to see that other people like it too. I will now proceed to post links of pop music from communist countries, or countries shortly after they renounced communism:

Neoton Familia are the Hungarian ABBA, and the absolute best communist-era pop group:
220 Felett:

Don Quijote:

Te Vagy Minden (earlier in their career)

In fact, you can see how long and sort-of varied their career was by comparing Parbeszed:

...to the late 1980s, when two of the three women were gone and they were effectively the backing band for the remaining one:

(A lot of their songs are also available with English translations, but I would not recommend listening to these in most cases).

Other countries include Ukraine...
Russya, Bud Shcho Bude, the first communist-era song I ever liked:

Yugoslavia (Dubravka Jusic)...

(warning; if you like this one, it's been uploaded with the wrong title and is actually called Plesacica, I think)
It took a lot of research, but I even found an Albanian song I like, although my eyes just glaze over when I try to read this woman's name:

After the collapse of communism, Lithuania seemingly had an entire industry of music that sounds like 2 Unlimited, and is therefore all fantastic:
Soniclove are the best:

But there are others too:

To wrap things up, let's chill out with some comfy chillout bedtime tunes:
Juda Tavo Rankos, a Lithuanian song from 2002:

Kummush Razzoqova of Uzbekistan, Unutna Meni (1986):

The youtube algorithm recently spat out a city-pop album from the 00s and it's really great:

Nena, the German group behind 99 Luftballons, had plenty of other bangers too:

That song also has a longer, 12-inch version which is even more brilliant:

Nur Getraumt is very good too, but I don't know if Vimeo embeds its videos like YouTube does:

>>12764
Nur Geträumt always gets me because I never expect to hear Come With Me by Special D in 80s German pop-rock.

Perfect day for it with the sun.

Why did the Koreans get so good at music? I know people like to claim it's all in a hyper-capitalist industry but it goes beyond pop-groups and is nothing on Japan's (and probably the West).

>>12820

Ten years ago they were hothousing their kids to be violinists and classical pianists, but a lot of them realised that there's more cultural cachet in contemporary music - an Asian kid who's brilliant at classical music is just a naff nouveau riche stereotype, but an Asian kid who's brilliant at jazz might get an Ivy League scholarship.

Also there's quite a big evangelical Christian movement for reasons I don't fully understand (Yank military bases?), which brought with it gospel music. Gospel often gets ignored by secular musicians and listeners, but the Black church has been the creative engine behind popular music for the last century.

Still a better love story than Twilight.

>>12821
>capitalising black

Can we keep the Americanisms where they belong, in America and Guardian editorials? Gospel really isn't ignored, it's been acknowledged as a major influence on vocalists for years.

>>12821

>the Black church has been the creative engine behind popular music for the last century.

Honestly I wouldn't say it's a good thing by this point. I love a spot of Northern soul but the Adele to Lewis Capaldi to Rag'n'Bone Man pipeline churns out some of the worst fucking dross you'll hear on the radio today.

Overdone cliché doesn't begin to describe it, it's at a saturation point worse than naff X Factor Christina Aguilera wannabes ten years ago.

>>12840

My grammatical error was failing to capitalise Church.

>Gospel really isn't ignored, it's been acknowledged as a major influence on vocalists for years.

How many white musicians or music fans could name three contemporary gospel performers? Being vaguely aware that Aretha Franklin and Candi Staton learned to sing in church does not equal paying attention to gospel.

>>12841

But that's precisely the problem - white soul artists are re-hashing a cod version of a cod version of 60s gospel. The Black Church is still churning out innovative and technically brilliant musicians in droves, but that isn't filtering through to the mainstream.

Let's all take a few minutes to appreciate the best-named French pop star, Fanny Forest:

Why do so many acts with foreign alphabets only transliterate either their name or the song title? I would understand if they provided both, or neither, or if they gave both artist name and song title in both alphabets, but it seems to be fairly common to only do one and leave people guessing for the other. (That song's title would be written as "Pochemu" in our alphabet, by the way).

Even ultradiskopanorama, my key to the world of foreign music, does it too, giving you the name in both alphabets but leaving the song titles impenetrable:

(The title means "Tornado", he says in the video description for this one, so it's not even like he can't use Google Translate)

I'm quite partial to a bit of salsa now and then. Always reminds me of spending a month in the Caribbean during uni, getting fucked on cheap rum every night and smoking counterfeit cigars.

Alpha Blondy - Brigadier Sabari

Some of the finest reggae you'll ever hear. The lyrics are all about police brutality too, which is very righteous, but they're in some nutty obscure African language so I haven't been able to find them online anywhere.

If you're the sort to be outraged by cultural appropriation, here is the same song as performed by two white Belgians, with the lyrics changed into English words about having a small willy.

Translating them from the mixture of French and Dioula is harder. Possibly there's some phonetic Arabic and Hebrew in there too. I've seen some Dioula dictionaries online but I have other things to do today.

***UZBEKISTAN SPECIAL***

Whenever I watch Uzbek music videos, which I almost certainly do more often than you do, there are some bizarrely ubiquitous stereotypes which really annoy me. The ones I see all seem to be directed by the same people, who emphasise really naked materialism and ostentatious wealth, and whose music videos always contain "acting breaks" like Michael Jackson always had, where the music stops and they just act instead for a bit. This is a particularly egregious example; they stop to act on no less than three separate occasions in just five minutes:

At least nobody dies in a car crash in that one. Uzbek pop stars lose at least one loved one in a car crash per music video, usually. Anyway, this song is better and more Western-feeling:

Next time someone demands more multiculturalism in their pop music charts, perhaps they should recruit Afruza instead of just singing in Spanish yet again. From what I can put into Google Translate, Afruza is the daughter of this woman who appears to be the same age:

>>13064
This feels like a gap year fever dream.

>>13055
It's all the inferior potassium.

>>13065
See if you can find a translation of the lyrics.

>>13067
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/freie-liebe-free-love.html

That's a fairly amateurish translation in my opinion (when he says "geil", the translator puts it as "horny", which is literally correct but the word is more commonly used to just mean "cool") but I trust it enough to agree with you that these are some very surprising lyrics.

>>13068
>which is literally correct but
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that's deliberate. Given the context.

>>13068

Translating lyrics is basically impossible, because you're never going to capture the literal meaning, the allusion and the prosody. The double meaning of "geil" is integral in this context, so you're damned either way.

Some of those translation choices are objectively bad - I would never choose "Still, a good session requires some 'multi-taskers', no?" when the more literal "What's a good game without a multi-player mode?" conveys the intent far more closely. With that said, the translation is certainly close enough to convey the general gist, i.e. that Alligatoah is a total fuccboi. I mean, look at the state of him. No amount of ironic detachment can conceal the fact that he phones up his exes in tears at 4am after a long fruitless coke wank.

>>13070

I ran the lyrics through Deepl myself and it translated that part the same as you did.

>>13071

It's a real stretch to translate it any differently, especially as the German for "Multiplayer" is "Multiplayer".
