Your input, please. It doesn't matter if we know each other. Read:

1. Go to an artist/album/track you like on last.fm.
2. Hit the asterisk button below the photo (top left - * recommend..)
3. Type in "eesn" as the username.

Less rock please. Anything alternative/indie better be on an electronic tip as I am more into experimental, electronica, especially japanese contemporary music; a bit sick of idm but won't question a thick dub or more recent (broadly speaking) jazz; I also like moderate amounts of hip-hop (no shouting! had enough Onyx as a kid); And I grew up with new wave, which i now consider pop. synthpop does it too, the same way a settled club techno.

p.s. send your friends over too.

Thanks!

Since this turned into a seriously massive list, I'll need to stop there or maybe rework it every couple of months or something. I also risk getting my arse kicked by the Last.fm staff since this will appear linked on more than one page. Hey, one more way to find interesting music I guess... anyway. Please DO send in your recommendation. After all, it comes in my inbox and is included in my recommendation radio! Thanks again.

Your turn!

Acquire CDs by Handsomeboy Technique

- COUP DEBAM - what gives austrians/turks the right to put together such incredible music? i don't even know how to describe this. the first couple tracks features this girl named Barbara Bandi who's doing her best to give Beth Gibbons a run for her money (during her Portishead days). this is just soulful, feel-good, mid-tempo, worldbeat-inspired trip hop for fans of musically-inclined organic-sounding turntablism that needs more exposure than its currently getting. you have to hate music not to feel this disc.

- Kristin Mainhart - get a blender, add a little Rachel Yamagata, Bjork, and Tori Amos. mix thoroughly. she's got this plaintive jazz-inspired voice overtop sometimes-raucous, sometimes-soothing hard rock beats, tweaked by a little electronica with pop trimmings. a little bit of trip hop, a little bit of folk, but you can definitely tell this girl's going somewhere.

- Da Grassroots - tragically overlooked canadian hip-hop, back when k-os was little known. a lot of toronto boys show their stuff on their first and only disc, passing through time. this is funk and soul-inspired hip hop at its best. it's meant to be listened to on a sunny afternoon in the summer time. smooth as hip hop was meant to be. some of the freshest beatmaking i've heard in a long time (AND THIS DISC WAS RELEASED IN 2000 OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT). a lot of throw-back sampling and tributes. if you're an underground head looking for something fresh, you need to cop this yesterday. for fans of A Tribe Called Quest.

- El Fudge - demigodz alumnus (along with Apathy, Styles of Beyond, Celph Titled, among others). if you're kind of sick and tired of the backpack shit, and want some underground with a little more bite, then you need to check some of this shit. remember when underground rap was about battle rhyming?

- Shrift - remember back in '96 when Smoke City released underwater love and your head exploded? well, they never achieved that same level of success ever again, so i don't blame you if you totally forgot about them. anyway, this is singer Nina Miranda's new project, and for fans of her old band, it's pretty hard not to hear the similarities. her voice is as light and airy as ever, and the sounds are as south-american-samba/bossa nova inspired as they were with her old band, albeit a little less electronic (though they still remain present).

- Handsomeboy Technique - god bless the japanese for being able to put together a beats that somehow, in some way, always sound so different from what you would normally hear, but you can't exactly explain why. remember when i namedropped Girlsareshort a couple months ago? it's in that vein. it's mostly instrumental, easily digestable, high energy, and of course, beat-driven. you're gonna love this cat if you want your electronic different... but... somehow feeling familiar.
