it captures that 90s attitude and grime, aquamarine neon lights and loud colors blasting around you. the lofi, woozy, vibe-heavy house sound of this soundtrack are absolutely incredible. Right from the getgo, i adored this record. In the late 1980s, acid house brought about the birth of rave parties in Great Britain and in the rest of Europe. Vocal lines or short vocal samples are used often, but are not a key element. The sound is typically shaped by repetitive bass lines from the synthesizer-sequencer Roland TB-303 ('acid' derived from 'acid sounds' that Roland TB-303 is generating), using modulation of the filter cutoff frequency at high filter resonance levels, often with additional distortion, to produce the typical 'squelching' sound, and minimal house-like beats, typically from the Roland TR-808 drum machine. still, an enjoyable experience and a good way to broaden your musical cartography skillsĪcid house is a style of music that emerged from House in the mid-1980s. these pieces are very interesting and unique, and i love exploring the music of other cultures and worldy locations, but i'm not super fond of the musical palette here - comes off a bit one-note and lacks that punch i'm really looking for. Pretty much the same thing as my Aak review. Ensembles are very common in Abkhazia, where men and women can demonstrate their powerful vocals in a capella, singing the ancient traditional songs of their regions. The Abkhazian traditional instrumentation includes the aphyartsa (abkharza), a two-stringed instrument with a spindle frame played by a bow, and the ayumaa, a triangular harp with fourteen horsehair strings. Abkhaz traditional mourning and circle dance songs are very expressive, and traditional weddings include a theatrical performance accompanied with songs and dance for the occasion. The vast majority of songs is performed by men, with the exception of lullabies and mourning songs. Much like in the closely related Georgian Folk Music, polyphony is a distinctive trait of Abkhaz folk singing. definitely something you listen to once, think 'wow, that was so cool,' and never againĪbkhazian folk music encompasses the musical traditions of the Republic of Abkhazia, a disputed territory on the Black Sea in northwestern Georgia. however, as enjoyable and engaging music, outside of the historical context, it misses the mark again. in that regard, one of the most enchanting albums ive ever listened to. These performances of historic music are absolutely fascinating when viewed from a modern standpoint - you're hearing what the highest in world royalty was only allowed to hear almost a thousand years ago.

In modern times, only two surviving pieces are still performed. It survived a short while before dying off, until it saw a brief revival in 1430. Aak also shares similarities to the Japanese Gagaku. Lyrics revolved around praise of the current leader and performances were, and are still highly specialised in their playing and accompanying dancing.Īak originated around 1116, as a gift from China, and was derived from the Chinese Yayue music of the time. It is the counterpart to Hyang-ak and Dang-ak, which are intended for the lower and middle classes - whilst aak is for the upper class or royalty. Originally referring to the sacrificial ritual music of China, it was later used to apply to generalised royal ancestral court music, banquet music, and/or processional music. Confucius used the term to separate this form of music from that perceived to be 'ugly and destructive'.

Ancient Music (just describes the 4 ancient music genres, not anything specific itself) (i'm not skipping American Folk Music even though i should but the top one is the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack i used to listen to as a kid and i want the nostalgia rush)Ģ. African Folk Music (general term describing so much that who cares) (this list is not ranked, the numbers are only to keep track of how many genres deep i am)ġ. Thanks to for the epic idea and the resources to make this possible i doubt i will finish because there's 1500+ fucking genres, but lets see how far i can get!

i'll be skipping some of the incredibly broad genres that act more as a wide grouping: genres like 'Metal' 'Rock' 'African Music.' if you have any questions on why i chose the album i picked, feel free to ask. Basically i'm gonna try listening to + rating one of the highest rated albums from 'every' genre on RYM.
