Need some new music to download?

Interesting music taste you have. If you like rock groups (non-electronic bands) then you might like some slightly more progressive styles of rock. There is some really weird progressive stuff out there, but a lot of it is great to listen to. My favourite progressive band would be Porcupine Tree, look up their album "In Absentia". They do some heavy stuff and some really light stuff as well. If you are wanting some chilled out music, you could try AIR (they aren't as prog. as Porcupine Tree) try the album "Moon Safari". If you want more electronic stuff, and want to keep it chilled as well, try Mive Attack. Their genre is Trip-Hop mainly. It's very laid back and quite "trippy". But the band uses really soulful melodies and southing rhythms and i love it. Leftfield is very similar to Mive Attack. As of late I have been getting really heavily into soundtrack music. Since I love electronic music (and Daft Punk) the TRON Legacy album written by Daft Punk appealed. As did the soundtrack from Pixar's UP. Another branch of that would be an artist called POGO. He takes sound effects, vocal samples and songs from movies and turns them into really cool tunes. He is on youtube, my two favourites are his remix of UP and Alice in Wonderland. So back to the kind of bands you listed above, there was an American/New Zealand band called Atlas that released a very good album called "Reasons for Voyaging", they are a rock band and have really cool tunes, could try them out if my other suggestions are a little wild :) Hope that helps! Oh one more thing, the site Last.fm (no .com or anything just .fm) is an awesome site that helps you find music that you would like based on the music genres you listen to often. I found a lot of my (now) favourite bands and songs using this site. Give it try! :)
